This is a big misconception (though not one I’m used to seeing in the HN crowd). Companies can operate at a deficit for many years without vanishing, usually because they have venture capital funding or investor backing.

This looks really nice to use! There are a lot of tools that one can use on Linux cli to work with csv. But many of them have become unmaintained. Or have terrible docs. Or have really awkward usage (looking at you, “yq”).

I have a feeling this is likely due to noise suppression in the video call platform. Possibly Jitsi doesn’t do it as well as Zoom or Google Meet, so my experience on Jitsi was a night and day improvement switching from Blue Yeti (cardioid m

The Blue Yeti is a condenser mic, so it picks up a lot of background noise. Going the dynamic mic route can end up costing a bit more, but worth it in my opinion. Unless you have a very quiet environment and don’t need to type on a keyboard

Yeah it’s not a great article. It didn’t even mention existing immutable technology at all (like rpm-ostree) let alone a technical comparison.

This is so great! You even had call to action links on your “where to buy?” slide. I enjoyed the “Special thanks to dad for paying the electricity bill and Internet bill for this project” XD

Other readers, please do note that (the unfortunately named) wormhole.app is unrelated to the frequently recommended, heavily peer-reviewed and much longer-standing magic-wormhole.

The words in blue that are underlined are called hyperlinks. You can click them ;) This readme howto is truly way too long and excessively prescriptive, and the author goes too far with his inserting his opinions (ie, don’t use github, don’

Unfortunately, there are people out there (with a seemingly large overlap with CEOs) that have incredibly fragile egos, and any perceived criticism (such as pointing out a dreadful security failure) can result in lies, excessive reactions,

It’s an awkward situation for sure and the timezone could have been clearer. But I also feel like if there’s no timezone for a deadline then you should assume the worst case (which here would be UTC) and make sure you submit before? The aut

You seem to be implying that he had nothing to apologise for, and that abusive behavior is an acceptable part of strong leadership. It’s sad that this even needs to be called out.

To make your comment more useful you’ll want to include compression and decompression time. Using the results from the readme, seems like bzip3 performs competitively with zstd on both counts.
