This has been one of the most polarising conversations I’ve been a part of on HN. Your comment made me think. I’ll preface this with an I also have code in your favourite web framework. There are many people like myself who don’t care about

I’m not deciding anything. I’m saying that if credit is all you care about, OSS isn’t the best place to hang out, because credit is not guaranteed. Yeah, I’ve contributed to OSS. And more often than not, I haven’t received credit. I couldn’

This isn’t even remotely close to what I said, and I can’t even see how it could be misinterpreted so badly. Did you reply to the correct comment? If receiving credit is your primary motivation, over actually solving problems that affect pe

My point (which I didn’t convey properly) is that the combination of the two isn’t all that productive, ie “I’ll only work on problems that affect me and only if you give me credit”. I get that true altruism probably doesn’t exist, but I’ve

The problem is the combination of the two. Ie, “I’ll only contribute on problems that affect me personally and then only if I get credit”. I’m not convinced this mentality is productive in the OSS community.

If someone is more interested in receiving credit than fixing bugs, OSS might not be the best place to hang out.

I can’t empathise with the author. It seems like they’re only interested in OSS when a) they get credit, and b) for only fixing problems that affect them. > instead he implemented his own version of the fix. I told him that I would reall

Which password manager are you using? There shouldn’t be any sharing of a master password; each individual should have their own account and own master password.

I wonder how much market there would be to tour the sewers? I’d pay for that, I don’t know why but I find underground engineering so fascinating. Perhaps I’m in the minority and it wouldn’t make financial sense.

I love my Corolla. 22 years old, 200k miles, runs perfectly fine. Never broken down on me. Even the interior is pristine, no rips in the drivers seat upholstery - something I’ve seen happen in a matter of years in other cars. I felt bad whe

Depends how sophisticated the attack is. Plenty of attacks aren’t. I could have been clearer in my comment, but what I meant was “can protect” not “guaranteed protection”, I apologise if it was taken that way. On the topic of phishing and O

Storing OTPs in your password manager is like 1.5FA. It still provides protection against phishing, brute-forcing, socially engineered password resets, so it isn’t totally useless. But it doesn’t protect against your vault getting compromis

I’m really confused. You’re in communication with your fiancee, you’ve been able to get engaged, yet neither of you have any way of contacting each other when they leave the black site? You don’t know each others home addresses, phone numbe

Agreed. Whenever I suggest adults should be in control of their own lives, I get a response along the lines of “we’d see mass suicide if people had an easy option to end their life”. Ok, so let’s think about that. There may be thousands of

What’s the size of a photon? You seem to be suggesting that the limiting factor is the physical size of the sensor, which is totally absurd. Photography optics are not even close to approaching the limits of physics.

I ditched all my cameras 5 years ago in favour of convenience. I’m a bit disappointed that the difference is still so large. I was convinced phones were going to approach crop sensor quality but it’s not even close, the 80D completely smoke

Most new builds in Melbourne are already of low quality. I lived in an apartment built in 2013 with water leaking in from the roof three levels above, and the sound insulation was so bad I could hear my neighbours putting cutlery away. And

Depends on the individual, and for what reason they went vegan. I know many who would, and many who wouldn’t. I think a better question is how many non-vegans would choose such a product. Because that’s what’s going to move the needle on re

ljharb is an extremely interesting person. There’s no doubting the positive impact he’s had on the OSS community and the work he’s done. However, there are some things he does that are incomprehensible. For example, Enzyme. Over three years
