Unless you stop using GNU/Lennax you're going to use it, like everyone else.

I've observed that pattern with developers who are relatively senior, and have been in the same, smallish place since they graduated. Basically they had no technical feedback ever in their career. Some developers put their crazy ideas

Deploying stuff over the week-end is standard practice for trading systems, because that's when markets are closed. But obviously those deployments are discussed and planned during the week. In fact most trading platforms have this hug

You can disrupt ecosystems without ending the world ("life finds a way"). The logic in your linked article is a bit specious; certain species eat mosquito larvae, so without mosquitoes they won't have food, and the species ea

JPEG XL is either lossy compression for large pictures, or something named by people who suck at branding.

A bug in a plane can make it crash in a fireball. But a bug in a missile is something that would make it NOT crash in a fireball. Thus the obvious solution to quality problems is to switch missile software engineers and aircraft software en

You can see that over 5 years (not more data available) that gender diversity fund has significantly under-performed its reference index. But that's not enough time to make a definitive judgment.

AMD is not part of that index, presumably because its leadership is still largely male (the index is not based on just the CEO). You can see the holdings at: https://www.etf.com/SHE#fit

My argument is: if a complex project like the Linux kernel, or MySQL, or CMake, or pretty much any large piece of open source software, can be written by remote teams, I don't see what's specific about typical corporate or start-u

The Linux kernel is developed remotely. I'm tiring of hearing cat food delivery startups pretend it won't work for them.

Don't worry about SSH, just wait for the systemd replacement for SSH.

If anything this would give them an incentive to get even closer.

Locusts are a solved problem in most parts of the world. Insecticides do work. I understand that this is HN and people are interested in drones, lasers, genetic engineering, etc. but in cases like this it's better to use proven solutio

I find this hard to believe to be honest. HN is owned by a Silicon Valley venture capital investment firm. If anything they lean liberal/libertarian (which indeed can be a bit woke on social aspects, but certainly not when it comes to

I'm not remotely a cryptographer. And I'm not saying there is anything wrong with his algos obviously. But I remember when the algos designed by Bruce Schneier were all the rage, and I think it was similarly based on some sort of

Would we still have a pro-vax problem if FB banned it across its properties?

That's a problem with reddit, whose narrow-focused subreddits encourage groupthink. It's not specific to Trump, I'm sure doing the same in pro-Sanders or pro-Warren subreddits will have the same effect. Or indeed pro-Rihanna

Isolation / segregation / echo chamber (whatever you want to call it) is amplifying toxicity. We used to socialize in the streets, in the marketplace, in towns. Maybe the town's butcher was known to be a bit of a racist hick,

Why exactly should they trust Snopes in particular, as opposed to Washington Post, Fox News, RT, the North Korean news agency, etc.

I also use it, and it works, but this tells us nothing about its actual security. Security people are also subject to fads and fashion just like web developers or indeed any other technical group. Many will endorse the primitives developed

In a democracy politicians listen to voters, not to "the science". So those researchers perhaps should focus on convincing voters? Having actual scientists being the public face of global warming would be a welcome change from hav

Awesome, thanks for the explanation. So it's not just because it's gas, but because it's plasma. Reading more about this planet, I learned it was found by KELT, the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope, which is a funny name

I have a question about the artist depiction on the article. Why is the gas shooting outward? Shouldn't it stay on the same path as the planet due to gravity? Like a comet.

The irony of this is that European art pieces are probably rotting so we can display African potteries and rusty blades. For this reason alone we send all that stuff back (we keep the Egyptian stuff though).

I agree; the Rosetta Stone should be returned by Britain to France, despite the fact they stole it more than 200 years ago.
