The standards bodies can encourage FRAND licensing, but there is no legal requirement backing it beyond the patent holder agreeing to it.

Typing "adobe" into the search bar of apple.com returns a bunch of external hard drives. I think your analysis is off. Seems to me you're an Adobe user more than a Mac user, and there's nothing wrong with that. Not eve

Yes, we can achieve simpler tasks. This one is more complex.

The only conclusion I can draw is that "astronomically good web design" primarily concerns itself with ensuring that no more than eight words can appear onscreen simultaneously.

This isn't the case. You get signed up for these credit services when anyone makes reports about you to them. This can be, for example, your landlord. Paying rent does not indeed affect a credit score, but credit scores are separate

Seems a pretty obvious way to preserve value-add in the face of competing game services. GOG and so forth don't have Proton, so the simplest moat to build is to curtail native Linux development and protect Proton's status as the

I know it's configurable; that's why I included the phrase "by default." The linked issue does not address this. And I'm not sure, maybe you just didn't read the rest of my comment, but in it I explain that wh

Having been responsible for several multi-petabyte storage projects, my experience is that TCO over a 20-year archive lifespan (LTO's design spec is 30, but boundary-pushing is not a good idea in the long-term storage game) is much low

Tape libraries all have active monitoring and have for a while. But really, it's mostly about scale. Tape media is dense in a way that spinning disk can't catch up to.

They spent years building a toxic moat and now they wonder why nobody wants to swim in it? Zero sympathy.

The position is clear, but I don't think it's a valid position. If I, the user, want my dotfiles to exist per-app in $HOME, the way they have since I started using UNIX in the 1980s, I have no recourse. Not being able to configu

This is the bit I was missing, thanks! I knew of the Frank-Caro process but not enough detail to understand the exact reaction. I appreciate your help.

Before this, when I wanted to remove a program's detritus from my disk, I did rm -rf $HOME/.program After this, it's an easter egg hunt to guess what dot-directories got spammed. As far as I can tell, the XDG spec only benefi

This article doesn't clarify why the authors are so surprised about calcium catalyzing this reaction. The Frank-Caro process is based on calcium carbide and is over a hundred years old. Anyone have any insights here?

Probably because the .DS_Store file predates the Nintendo DS by several years.

It has both, but like Docker, they don't ship in base. ezjail was the tool of choice for many years, and cbsd (which also manages the virtualization capabilities) has emerged as a mature replacement for the past decade or so. I'm

If the products were homogenous they wouldn't have different names. Are you under the impression that the phrase "Taylor's Version" was chosen at random? Could the labeled active endorsement of the artist, with whom mi

I find your assessment odd, since Docker itself is basically a third-party tool to manage cgroups, namespaces, and filesystems. I suppose it's another in a long line of what are essentially marketing failures on the part of FreeBSD...

I came to HN because it seemed to be a place of free dialogue. It certainly does feel like a series of monologues at times.

I'd wager pretty heavily that Asimov, with a doctorate in chemistry, would have been exposed to Boyle at some point, what with the ideal gas law bearing his name.

Are we talking about the same country? Supporting a specific party is "life-destroying"? Tell me, is it the one in control of the House or the one in control of the Senate?

This kind of pedantry always appears when people are trying to have a discussion about non-android linux distributions on mobile devices. You know full well what they're talking about when they say "linux" here and it's

No, you're not missing anything. These are crazy people. It's a harmless brand of crazy, at least.
