   I do something like that. I have a separate minimal chroot directory with just Firefox installed and configured, and use systemd-nspawn to start a container. The container is using a snapshot (btrfs) of the chroot directory, which gets dele

   I have noticed this trend as well. That is why I read HN with dead comments enabled, and vouch+upvote a dead comment whenever I think it adds to the discussion (e.g. brings new info or brings up a point or angle that I haven't seen in

   Except that users are (or should be) trained NOT to click on any links in spurious e-mails they receive. No, dear sites, kindly deal with a little bit of sign-up friction and stop offloading to others the fallout from people abusing your se

   I only know of old MS-DOS game Tracon II ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracon_II ). I spent hours with it as a kid, directing tiny aircraft symbols around my screen. It should be available for download at any decent ab

    No, not an alternative, but I'd argue that considering new versions should be a part of performance engineering. If one of the "improvements/features in the next version" is more optimized and performant code, you want t

    Hm, I was under the impression that the "ok boomer" mocking response was just a dumb joke thing in cesspits like reddit, youtube or imgur. Is it more widespread?

    Why the hostility? I couldn't possibly have known about your condition, so kindly stop taking it as a personal attack. I certainly did not mean it as one.

    I had to laugh at the commit message of the single commit in the repo: FINISHED THE LANGUAGE, NOW TIME TO CHECK IT INTO VERSION CONTROL Cool idea, though, like something out of a sci-fi novel. :)

    I like make because it can be as simple as you want it, yet powerful if you need it to be.

    Thanks! This, and a few your other posts on this topic gave me some interesting things to think about and links to read.

    You can't, and you shouldn't. Your "resources" (what a derogatory way to refer to people, by the way) will be more valuable, more competent, if they know more than just that what's needed for your team's direct

    I've yet to see any harm from that lion hiding in tall grass over there, stop panicking and get back to grazing. I have yet to see any harm from eating badly and not excercising for this young person, stop panicking and let them enjoy

    You would just be adding headaches to the PR drones working for that politician. I doubt the politician himself would ever know about it happening. These people are usually behind several layers of separation from real world.

    If Larry and Sergey were the kind of people that were quitting and disappearing in the book, they would not quit, but instead try to sneakily dismantle Google from within, like d'Anconia in the book. :)
