It's a very modular setup, very simple in the basics, minimal but very extendible. It approaches the BSD philosophy a bit more than other distros. It's init system is very nice and conceptually simple. It's rolling release bu

I was on a macbook pro from ~2017 to ~2020, Mostly 10.14. It worked well, but nothing specifically great that I can't do on Linux or Windows. I don't like the walled garden that macOS seems to become too much, I love free (as in f

Maybe g_the_oracle is a at a place in the world where this is true, but in my experience, working in the US and in Europe, this is total nonsense. Software and systems engineering are in my experience the most meritocratic niches in IT, and

I remember back in the day we were evaluating Puppet vs CFengine. During our testing we noted how memory intensive Puppet was, which we assumed at the time was due to it being based on Ruby. Afaik Ruby can quite easily consume a bunch of me

Ha what a cool article. This reminded me so much of Hewlett and Packard's management style. I think they called it "Management by Walking Around".

I think you are right w/regards to "reinvention of wheels". We're doing the same things, in slightly new jackets, not always, hell, not often for the right reasons. What I do want to point out is that this has been a pro

You should always strive to understand the context in which something is written, meaning the times, the habits of those times, its biases etc. I don't think we're better off with a group-consensus "historical revisionism&q

I think calling the book controversial is too strong. Maybe "highly romanticised" (as quoted in the above rather good BBC culture article) is a better description. The "Legends of the Samurai" book sounds interesting and

Great book, just finished it for the second time. Also recommend (both on Gutenberg btw) "Japan: An attempt at interpretation" ( https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5979 ) and "Tales of Old Japan" ( http

Curious about thoughts of fellow HN readers with regards to the ideas set forth in this article from ZeroHedge. I personally highly distrust the motivation behind articles like this, but I try to keep an open mind. Not sure I myself agree w

Whilst you're completely right (don't trust companies, pgp if you need to), I feel obliged to point out Lavabit [1] and Silent Circle [2]. Of course, you should still not trust companies, but exceptions to the rule have existed. [

It sounds like you’re in a bind. Truly hope everything is ok-ish in any case. I’m rubin55 on Libera.chat, rann on OFTC. If you ever feel like having a chat, send me a dm. You can also send me a message on me@rubin55.org. Don’t know if I c

Many rooms have 500+ people in them. Heck, I think FreeNode was ~70000 peeps? I'm pretty sure almost all of them are pretty pissed off about the developments of today in particular. I was in wait-and-see mode yesterday. From the 44 cha

I can definitely recommend it. #algorithms, #haskell, #python, #java.. amazingly great + skilled communities. I learned so much from people there.. A quick "hey, how would you do this in $language" gives you like 5 responses which

Totally agree with that. But that "other group" needs about the highest level of ops you can get (i.e., staff level). When your new Andrew-approved staff then starts de-opping ops in ~700 channels, sets up a new #freenode-services

That latter aspect, registering your account with NickServ does seem to sucks somewhat.. Apparently there have been some bots active which have registered a whole bunch of nicks which previously existed on FreeNode. #libera is full of peopl

So much this. Yesterday I did a walk through the ~44 channels I frequent on FreeNode and came up with about 20ish that where moving to either OFTC or Libera. I left those channels, keeping ~24 channels that were not likely to move off of Fr

This. This is a really well put, well thought out, non polarizing piece of writing. I have had the pleasure of seeing a few of Michael Meeks’ presentations about LibreOffice (at a few FoSDEMs). Thanks for being you + thanks for writing some

Hey Karianna, to my surprise I actually am able to run JetBrains IDEs using the pre-release JDK 16 for Windows on ARM. I had to add "--illegal-access=warn" to idea.bat + I had to delete runnerw64.exe. I've tested with Intel
