Sure, can't rule it out. But I'd say you're pointing out a different (though in and of itself legitimate) problem than the problem of hostility in the sphere which many of us from the 70s and 80s grew up and old(ish) in. To b

True. I blame it on a trend of the 2010s: friendly people who would otherwise write moderate and/or optimistic comments a decade ago, have increasingly lost motivation to partake. This is my theory at least, I can't back it up sci

We, the Dutch call it 'patience,' as how it sounds in French. Personally, I used to call it 'sol.exe.'

Never heard of this before, but apparently Qupzilla is a lightweight browser which uses the cross-platform Qt application framework, and it comes with a builtin ad blocker. Nice; I'm going to check this out soon.

This is a story from 2014 that, in my opinion, doesn't contribute much today. There has been somewhat of a trend to post negative feedback on StackOverflow, but a) most posts are from 2015 and earlier, and b) many commenters on HN, luc

My buddy Ryno - http://rynothebearded.com/ has a weekly podcast that focuses on music under a CC license. There are many great tunes available free of charge, and it's very strange that music falling under this license

Probably going to get slammed for saying this, especially in a time where downvoters decide for the most part what is allowed and what isn't, but here goes anyway: even though it affects many things, I simply do not care one iota when

This is the perfect reason to use unique email addresses: they enable you to know exactly what the origin of the 'leak' is, and when you disable the address, the other addresses keep working normally.

Indeed; for me this applies to tobacco!

Fluoride isn't exactly healthy either though, is it?

They're both faster because they don't read and write block by block. Why people keep recommending dd for stuff like this, I don't have a clue.

In my opinion, the whole idea of social networking is flawed. I don't need a network where people are interconnected ("webbed" together), I just need individual contacts and ephemeral groups. Ok, one can say that this implies

I don't need wildcard DNS, I have a catchall on a single subdomain.

These days I do this differently; I created a subdomain that forwards all email to my main account. hackernews@foo.example.com would forward to main@example.com, and I can just filter the prefixes. That way I can use the subdomain for my ow

Ha, I never knew! Thanks for adding this; who would have thought my 20 year old anekdote would get a refreshment. :-)

Darnit, I had to dial in again. Kidding of course, but once upon a time many 56k6 modem contained a bug that, upon receiving this in plain text, would cause an actual modem hangup. You could kill hundreds of IRC connections with that one.

Expanding on this, ^\ (Ctrl+\) means sigkill, and I don't think many people know about this one.

Now that anyone can be a painter, is that art form dead? Art is a form of expression, not a popularity contest. Geez Louise, if there's nothing to write about, just don't write .

"who is it who knows there is no ego?" The one thing I disagree with, is when people, particularly from his era until the 90s, say that you should get rid of the ego. It's impossible, for the reason quoted, even though he mak

What amazes me is how serious people take things like chatting and social media stuff. Twenty years ago, when I was just entering my teenage years, most people just talked over the phone and met up. Maybe did a little bit of ICQ. Oh my, how
