What is it with sci-fi authors being so uniquely insufferable now that they’re all opining publicly on every topic under the sun? It’s a fascinating phenomenon that I haven’t seen anyone investigate yet in depth. Would love to read an artic

I honestly can’t believe it’s not much higher. It’s so easy these days with SteamOS and Bazzite.

Theft of what, and from whom? The author breathlessly jumps around without ever establishing the most basic premise. Seems like clickbait doom-mongering more than anything substantial.

There’s a streak of meanness in this which is very unappealing. Aha, a todsacerdoti post. The rule continues to hold!

Great advice. Unfortunately, there seems to be a real desire out there to create little political fiefdoms around projects.

“Death to Spotify”? Really? That’s the phrasing these people are going with?

No, he hasn’t. You’re just engaging in motivated reasoning and you haven’t realized it. You also haven’t realized that you’re part of a tiny minority with fringe beliefs, so don’t be so ruffled when you receive level-headed pushback. Goodby

You’re reading too much into my temporary absence. ;) I think you both are engaging in an extremely uncharitable reading of DHH’s “native Brit” phrase. Hopefully he will clarify more what he means in the future so that we won’t have to gues

This seems like a reasonable response by MIT. I’m struggling to understand where the core disagreement lies though. Would someone who is opposed to this “compact” care to explain their view? I’m not interested in baseless name-calling (“fas

I haven’t seen anyone credible mentioning anything about “non-whites”. That would definitely be grounds for concern, but so far it has turned out to be a strawman in these discussions.

I don’t use Twitter, and I abhor white nationalism as much as any other kind of genetic population-based supremacy movement. So you’re at least wrong about me. Like DHH, though, I am staunchly anti-multiculturalism. This has nothing to do

Why would I bother interviewing with you when you may toss out my application because I may not be a member of your list of arbitrary blessed identity groups? https://www.hudsonrivertrading.com/deib/

People like Drew haven’t quite caught up to the fact that they are the “QAnon weirdos” of the current age: people who loudly advertise their absurd fringe beliefs, while other people eye them warily from a safe distance.

And notice it’s not being destroyed by the (largely fantastical) “fascist threats” constantly being whined about; rather, this is all the direct act of a decidedly left-wing government. Shocking to no one who has even a passing familiarity

Dude writes like he’s an under-appreciated genius, unfairly unrecognized in his time. His (entirely not-unique) conclusion that the transformer architecture has plateaued is, for the moment, certainly true, but god damn it’s been a while si

I have the sinking feeling that you upvoters are actually upvoting the content of these quotes rather than my intention in quoting them, which was to highlight their absurdity. ;)

Once again, todsacerdoti proves one of my personal axioms: that he is the submitter of the worst blog crap on HN.

Very unconvincing. With container images, you can use docker compose or k8s to declare and deploy your entire service architecture. That is… massively useful.

I read the entire thing. It’s nothing more than a hateful screed by someone who tears down, but does not build; who is in a permanent state of (incorrectly) claiming that the sky is falling. What’s so interesting and urgent about that? It’s

The 2 orgs behind this receive primary funding from tech billionaires rather than individual donors as publicly claimed. The Midas Project relies almost entirely on Estonian Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn, who provides $150,000+ through his

I wonder how HN would react if the listed political parties were all left-wing / progressive ones.
