I work in open source. I would not pull the kind of bullshit Matt has pulled. Matt is not some poor underfunded open source developer. He's the CEO of a company with thousands of employees. What Matt is doing is trying to effectively r

Is the "common good" a nickname for Automattic's bottom line? The man is a narcissist and a scoundrel. He can't allow anyone to compete with his wordpress company.

I myself am convinced that man-made global warming can't be stopped without changing the way our political economies work, and I happen to believe that Palestinians are people and therefore deserve basic human rights (which they do not

Expected is one thing, that's a toxic work culture. But mandated is another, that's (probably) illegal in most countries, and absolutely an abuse of power by the employer.

I have not ignored the October 7th attack, I expressly mentioned it. You want me to condemn it? I condemn it, and I condemn Hamas. I don't know how you've twisted the very simple take that the people who have lived in the Palestin

This is a cute "moderate" description of the situation if you ignore all history leading up to October 7th and the massive number of Palestinian civilians Israel has murdered and displaced. The year leading up to October 7th was a

Oh, I'm well aware there never was one, it's just particularily egregious how badly western leaders are trying to pretend there is one and that they are in the right. I would prefer if they just took the mask off and said directly

Israels actions _should_ be condemned, and the western world should be politically able to sanction Israel for its war crimes, otherwise we are simply pretending to value liberal democracy and international law. At the moment, Israel is som

I would like to think that I am. But we're discussing a technical topic on an industry forum, not at a party. This site is still named hacker news, I would assume software projects should be discussed from a hacker's point of view

Feels like there are a lot of fancy human-used terminal listing tools these days, and to me all of them feel like a waste of time. 1) There's so many assumptions made about the terminals and fonts these will run in. Are you really usin

I'd say it's more of an IRC thing. IRC has always had a less than professional culture of communication and this is just regular behaviour on an open IRC network. Personally I think that, on one hand, the more relaxed standards ma

It is still called natural science, but it used to be called natural philosophy. And it is interesting, as you say, that when it comes to Bachelor/Master/Doctor of Science/Art/Philosophy (even professor), these are all t

My thought was that it would be interesting to look at such timeseries data for discontinuities that you could correlate against historical events to get some insight into the impact of policy decisions, and the development of neoliberal ca

Hi, here I am, I'm confused as to what you're trying to say here. What do you mean?

Murray Rothbard is a radical anarcho-capitalist of the Austrian school, he doesn't believe that empirical data can falsify a mathematical model of human behavior. In other words, if I can editorialize a little --- he's a nut.

I think your analysis seems roughly reasonable, but I would like to point out that violence is not the only way to abuse your position of power. You can also withhold resources or information, or spin narratives which make you work against

I don't think a compiler could ever reliably transpose an array-of-structs representation to a struct-of-arrays one. There's also other issues with this paradigm, like creating objects out of the arguments to a function. That not

That 30% number for intra-firm trading is interesting. But even more interesting would be to see the historical development of that slice of the pie.

That is unbelievable to me. You always have the right to quit, and penalties are rare. The laws depend on the country you're in of course, but I've never heard of three months, and I've lived in Europe my whole life. Would yo

It is not libel to say that the ICJ's statement is a strong indication that a genocide is ongoing. What Joan Donoghue says is that, technically, there is no ruling on the "plausibility of genocide claims". Which is a technica

I don't see how that relates to my point. My point is that repercussions are happening to one side of the issue: those opposing genocide and apartheid. Two things I was sure of everyone could agree on are some of the most horrendous cr

The example given here is a different interpretation of a statement. The source would stay the same for correct and incorrect use,there is no way for the compiler to catch this and send an error message.

I know sociologists, and I call bullshit on them downplaying the "importance of genes". Sociology looks at statistical evidence and argues about the mechanisms of societal outcomes based on that. Even if we accept your comment tha
