Private corporations already have the data. Did you see the list of companies supporting Apple? Nobody is worried about this. We think that companies have the right to keep dossiers on people, as long as they make a scout's promise tha

Chromium behave so similarly to Chrome that it makes no difference to me to use one instead of the other, except for my feelings about the Google brand. It is not a terrible mystery what the differences are. If Chrome were really a propriet

Sometimes I wonder if anyone has ever posted to HN not believing they are in the top 50%, 10%, or 1%. It's like how everyone's kid is above average. The topic of how everyone else sucks seems to be evergreen. Everyone's just

Except for Microsoft's lawyers who are still using patents against Linux. Same old Microsoft. Is it even possible for you guys to kill the undead SCO monster now? At any rate, it's still working away.

Do you really need an explanation of why people might want to do business in a way that includes the US? If you don't want that feature, why complain about Stripe - just incorporate and get a bank account in Honduras or wherever you th

Can you suggest a link to a list of programming language names that people could use to check this for themselves?

If we forced everyone to switch to Haskell, do you think this would really be any different? People would still do the bare minimum to implement the latest user stories, because that is literally what the boss is paying for.

I'm sorry if you feel gcc maintainers are unappreciated, that's not good. Clearly no compiler can rescue programmers from every security mistake they might make. But raising security concerns is not "entitled," insecure-

It means that somebody who is angry about Ubuntu for some reason says that you can't use the word Ubuntu in your programs to test whether they are running on Ubuntu, or Canonical will sue you. There is no real evidence that this is t

"I start wondering ..." announces another incoming bundle of FUD absent any confirmation from Ubuntu. Claims about the legal position of Ubuntu are flying around that are completely unsubstantiated. If we are going to publicly bur

If you are looking at some repository for Ubuntu's source code, and find that their build process isn't perfectly documented as regards the version of gcc they use, that really isn't a GPL violation no matter how hard you try

Are you recommending that people switch to Ada, or Pascal, or what? Your pastebin seems to strongly favor Algol-likes. It would be nice to see some more substantive reasons why people should be using an Algol-like language in 2016. Just say

If you have the source, it shouldn't be difficult to build binaries, should it? If you are building a new Linux distribution based on Ubuntu, I don't even understand why you would want to reuse binaries they built. This post would

I guess we should all give up and only use what RHEL provides to us, then, since it is the only universally available distribution.

The point of that quote attributed to Steinbeck wasn't that it is bad to have personal dreams and goals. Nobody thinks that. Whether you agree with it or not, the quote is saying that poor people aren't recognizing what is in thei

The slogan "one obvious way to do it" applies to the design of the language itself. It means that in terms of language constructs, no value is placed on coming up with a creative profusion of operators and whatnot (as in Perl&#x27

It is a federated messaging network. I don't see that it is any more subject to filter bubbles than Twitter is. Everyone chooses who they follow anyway. If you want to subscribe to feeds from people with politics opposite yours, you ca
