A case study of HN-friendly clickbait based on an obviously fake story. Automatically performing a roll back of staging DB to latest backup by matching words "sorry" or "help" in an email from a DBA? Yeah, right.

Actually, it's other way around. Your comment is misleading and your intentions have not-so-slightly seedy side. Are you really attacking a concept of charity organization in a capitalistic world? Calculation methodology is available

Is reddit a good example of what you're complaining about?

The irony of this comment posted and upvoted on HN will be lost on many.

This is just an example of ad networks moving down the supply chain. Lead gen, customer retention systems, even support services are a possible evolution of core ad networks services. The reason for this is quite simple: ad blocking.

Huh, $99.99 for the bolt thing? The company looks legit, they announce a partnership with Jetbrains on their blog, for example. http://www.checkio.org/blog/

How exactly the Transparency International website that contains public statements critical of E.U. financial regulation backs up your point?
103.
by vdaniuk 11y ago
Really? Transparency International is not a government organization but a non-profit registered in Belgium. edit: HN posting limit is extremely annoying, providing no way for a sustained discussion within multiple threads.

So why don't we see headlines like "EU clamps down on banking industry and corruption in financial institutions"?

So it goes. Terror attacks provide opportunities for special interest groups to advance their agenda while public is frightened and irrational. Makes you think about the implicit beneficiaries of terrorism, doesn't it?

Due to the considerable amount of HN comments complaining about definitions in submission titles, I can't help but propose a new acronym. Introducing NIMTAU: not in my thesaurus

Kolmogorov complexity of HN comments on X is approaching boilerplate level. Where X is Google's product changes, front-end apps/frameworks, advertising, etc etc.

HN tech hivemind is often both conservative and arrogant: node is an aberration, atom is a travesty, docker is for the lazy, front end frameworks are overused, etc etc.

I've invested some time to learn about best practices and have been using docker in production for many months with completely satisfactory results. I am not seeing a rational discussion here.

Those possible productivity gains are available to me without putting in too much time or effort using containers. Seems like a win.

by vdaniuk 11y ago
I've gotten so much utility out of docker, it feels absurd to read this comment. Containers made the sysadmin part significantly easier, whether it was testing new Node releases, trying out random databases or learning new languages. W

Yeah, this comment shouldn't be downvoted so much even if it is offensive to some people.

Please try to consider the possible context of space tech development. A lunar base would mark a start of humanity as a space-faring species but that is just part of the story. A functioning outer space settlement could be an indicator of

In my opinion, popularity of Mozilla products in itself is in the best interests of most users, directly and through positive externalities. Minor transgressions like Pocket integration are a petty reason not to support Mozilla and their mi

by vdaniuk 11y ago
No offense taken :) You may not like Mozilla and that's ok. But you still should support them as Mozilla's interests are mostly aligned with the interests of the users.

Your attack is naively misdirected, I fully support the right of device owners to have a full control of their gadgets including firmware, hardware, software, you name it. But as most users (and we already know this) don't care about

by vdaniuk 11y ago
Yes, devices are becoming more hostile to the use, I agree with most of your points. However, I don't think that there is a pure technical solution (open firmware updates etc.) as it depends on technical expertise of the users. Instead
