That depends on what happens with OCI.

Do you understand the concept of "necessary, but not sufficient"?

The new Microsoft is the same one that has been continuously and recently involved in copyright litigation. That didn't just go away overnight because they started a PR campaign.

If you spent a couple years building everything you could on top of Node and then realized you completely disagreed with some of its basic design then that would be a memorable experience. This may be hard to understand if you are still in

If this is all that's wrong with the UX, why not write two tiny one-line scripts called gerrit-submit and gerrit-review?

Not that it's necessarily better if the projects you are making take over a hundred hours to write, because it does suggest an attraction to monolithic designs.

That's a bizarre complaint. Companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook (and their CEOs) are all routinely discussed and criticized here. Nobody is "crucified" and it is in no way specific to Facebook. Nor is HN somehow unique

Did you have a lot of bad experiences with malware on Linux?

Too late, another company already did the same with its own proprietary software.

I wish documentation would offer a "Concourse made easy" or something. I imagine the documentation is currently a work in progress. But starting for example from Github, it is extremely easy to go down a deep dark hole trying to f

Growl doesn't flash red things in the terminal and nobody says you have to use Growl notifications if you don't like them, but this really has nothing to do with the usefulness of unit testing.

Virtualenv isn't supposed to handle non-Python dependencies. Why use Nix instead of containers or VMs?

What do you do about all the missing packages?

If dependencies are bad, then it seems to follow that every project should reinvent all the wheels.

Why are they obligated to? The software is still open source. Fork it if you want to.

To support this hypothesis, you'd have to show that some other process did make (for example) the perfect editor. Otherwise, this is not a weakness of open source.

Complain about what? Are the marker noises hurting your ears more than the commercials themselves?

Google doesn't deserve this kind of deference. As a corporation, they will abandon a problem if predicted expenditures outweigh predicted returns.

Have you implemented the IRC protocol? It's horrible.

The popular mobile platforms have never been very friendly to Python. In each case there was some conscious decision to favor specific languages very heavily rather than making it feasible to use different languages. It is hard to see how s

You could state your disagreement without casting aspersions on the masculinity and competence of the people you disagree with. Given that you yourself are wasting time reading posts on Medium and then whining about them on HN, I have to as

Were they themselves corporations? Did they avoid taxes using a double Irish strategy? Do tell, this alternate history is becoming more interesting every second.

I'm glad that we have international megacorporations to tell us what the authors of the US Constitution would think about things.

The point being that nobody uses or has any good reason to use HyperTalk these days. But the same is not true of many other languages. Javascript is not the last language anyone will ever need.

The guy who wants to get you ignored due to potential competition is not likely to frankly admit that you are better. He will have some excuse, like you didn't use enough design patterns.

I guess we can get some arbitrary text, then check whether all its characters can be encoded as Windows-1252, store it with a note that it is in Windows-1252, and then check that note before decoding it. Clearly so much better than UTF-8.

If you look at the bottom of the page, you will see that some of the underlying motivation for the site is to shill for a particular political stance.

It would be fine if this were just a public service announcement, but then there is the huge political rant at the bottom. The use of a vulnerability as a megaphone for personal opinions is very annoying.

Why not, if being too old or of the wrong race is a poor cultural fit. Using Windows for development of apps ultimately to be deployed on Linux isn't any more sensible than using Linux when you are ultimately building Windows apps. Vis

The real cake recipe can specify how to achieve the results instead of just saying that they should be achieved. It does not have to deal with issues like lazy evaluation or defining a batter monad. It does not have to trail off into "
