I have met people who said they use vim for programming and don't know how to use commands like `%s` and `G` to do those basic things. I don't think most people understand how to use vim, and for those cases it's about the sa

I thought yubikeys only provided a sensor for the fact that the sensor was touched, vs fingerprint resets that actually distinguish whose fingerprint is touching the sensor before being usable as an authenticator

Most of the criticisms were accurate, if often very, very, very detail-oriented. DJB has always had a few settings: either you're on his level, on his wavelength, or he treats you as maybe bright enough to tie your own shoelaces on a g

I really don't have to. You're arguing your talking points, but not to any verifiable reality. You should have said "if they're all citizens, they are american" which is the same thing you're saying, but withou

I have neither seen nor heard anything that would lead me to believe most of the protesters are non-citizens or non-resident. You are not providing any evidence, just conveniently excusing this overreach by the executive branch by ignoring

You are trying to establish that the financial meaning of free software is the primary meaning, while the freedom aspect has been the primary meaning. You would do better to change your focus to searching for false claims of "no-cost&q

I read that and thought of zero-sum winner take all pursuits that are more performance than achievement. Office politics, trash talking in earnest, picking sides in conflicts that don't involve me, etc. Sporting for the sake of blood,

Saying "technically incorrect" is downplaying what is really totally incorrect from any reasonable interpretation. There is nothing in that fact check that it's close to what was said. Let's just call it wrong and not tr

Ok, are you ascribing a motive of extortion here? You seem to be repeating an awfully simple principle but not making clear what you think the context is. Could you explain what your perspective is here?

You have too black and white a view of this. It's not about accepting censorship, it's about refining the governing laws. Shouting "Fire" in the theater has always been a good line to draw, and a way to discuss what is

What makes you think I specifically would think differently about apple? I don't think I've said anything here that would indicate that, so it seems like you're projecting. The idea of a free Internet is an ideal that is subj

If I'm reading that correctly, the court is taking this action after requesting that rumble respond to their requests and rumble has not responded. It's not censorship from the get-go, it's brinkmanship from rumble to get thi

This is HN, not twitter. Can you provide some more context or links to support your take on this?

I don't think you are arguing against the parents position, but for it, while your answers' odd contrarian positioning also exhibits how critical context and caring are to answering questions. Good job, you.

Sounds terrible. So yeah, I guess they can make an educated guess, and initiate a demoralizing cat and mouse game with their customers.

Yep packaging was a nightmare. The fix for a bug in cron could require you to apply a kernel patch and reboot. But not if you had already applied a different kernel patch beforehand for some specific hardware, but which wasn't availabl

Why would you want to restrict contributions from people with relevant experience and willingness to share, just because the author ran a spelling and grammar check?

Yes it definitely was. Once you look at the logos and the company it's an obvious nod to that fixture of business and IT in the region. https://mrrobot.fandom.com/wiki/Steel_Mountain

I don't think so? I'm asking for sources that I can read from people who are making claims to, to support their assertions. I've posted material that is more recent than the first post I replied to, and I haven't seen an

My recollection is that the accusations of Lula being implicated in the Lava Jato wasn't substantiated, but the accusation was used politically to send him to jail and thus prevent him from running for office against Bolsonaro. In the

What's your source on this? Beyond age-basee chauvinism/get off my lawn type tropes, what about fitness of a generation is different now from past decades?
