> Am I insane or can't a company just fork it from before the license change? The article mentions half a dozen such forks. So not insane, maybe just a bit lazy ;).

The current system is crazy to me as well, I've come to refuse to use online dependencies in my projects. It's brittle and it's a security nightmare. If I need a library, I look for a self contained one and I vendor it into t

The compelling differentiator is that all the features are easily discoverable, you don't need to read a manual before you know how to save/quit/search/replace/use tabs/undo/redo/macros/etc.

I can't answer for the author, but keep in mind that Notepad++ is good because it uses the win32 API directly. I don't see any future where they'd just accept to replace everything with Qt.

I've noticed the same trend. HN (as a collective) doesn't believe in punishing white-collar crimes with incarceration. I guess it hits too close to home.

Quebec's maple syrup is indeed controlled by a cartel and the traditional supply/demand rules are meaningless, it's just market manipulation. Same with cow milk. But both BC and Ontario operate the same way, so I'm not s

In your scenario you're not accruing a legitimate debt, you stole something (admittedly with the intention of paying for it later).

The fact that Chromebooks are a success is, if anything, the true testament that there are things that matter to people that (desktop linux) community developers don't care about.

It is a little weird how Mozilla doesn't advertise Firefox, isn't it? At least I've never seen them sponsoring anything, nor any ads. (50% of my browsing is without adblock, so I should have seen them if they exist. But maybe

The restore costs are absolutely worth it to most people, but it's still important to point out. As a teenager I would have been perfectly capable and willing to pay 5/month to backup all my stuff. But I wouldn't have been ab

XHTML had to be valid XML, that was the entire shtick. Comparatively HTML5 is very lenient in its spec. Browsers are even more lenient in their implementation.

I've probably went to a dentist 30 times or so, whereas I've only been to all other kinds of health care 5-10 times over the same time range, combined. So putting them in the same basket would be untenable for one or the ot

There is no reason to believe one way or the other. Are there reasons to believe that the current post-quantum algorithms will actually be quantum resistant?

Tails provides a live ISO that guarantees that everything you do goes through Tor. It seems like a useful thing to have preconfigured. Privacy shouldn't require extensive Linux experience. And even then, I've been using Linux for

That point is always raised on every criticism of tar (that it's good at tape). Yes! It is! But it's awful at archive files, which is what it's used for nowadays and what's being discussed right now. Over the past 50 yea

Pack may not be it, but it would be nice if Tar would go the way of the dodo. It has all the flaws that you mentioned (and more!).

Bit of a tangent (though it is directly mentioned in TFA), does anyone knows why Signal spends 1.3M/yr on data storage? I understand that it's probably the result of a massive amount of requests/transactions done with a cloud
