   I've stuck with it and preached it and told people why Google is just going to repeat IE's history with Chrome, and my tech friends still mostly use Chrome. There is something about A) what everyone else is doing, and B) inertia,

   I'm always concerned when people use an acronym as if everyone knows what it means, when it is in fact a fairly niche acronym. It shows people maybe haven't talked about their ideas to folks outside of a certain group with preexis

   Run Prime95 on torture mode and then tell me it's just Firefox. Because what you've said makes no sense.

   I was actually underwhelmed by the post, what exactly is the "pretty bold" change?

   I'd love to know, I've never stopped using Firefox and idk what plugin they mean.

   Publishing a hyperlink has nothing to do with Fair Use. OP is not re-hosting the content themselves, therefore in no way does Fair Use Doctrine apply.

   Do you have a source for this claim? Two different comments in this thread are stating opposite claims https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18409562

   I know right can you imagine just deploying patches written by some person that wrote the patches for an interview test? I'll take that module that auto-completes code with Stack Overflow answers first, thank you very much.

   No no no. Vagrant is for spinning up dev environment VMs with a virtualization tool like VirtualBox.

    Yeah I cannot imagine how uncomfortable of a position that would be, wanting such a prestigious job and being taken advantage of.

    I don't understand how you buffer the output from stage X if stage Y is running more slowly.

    You do if you're programming in assembly. Developers need to understand how the layer underneath their code works. If you're writing Java, you should understand the JVM. If you're writing C, you should understand the compiler

    It should. Historical articles need to be marked as such.

    I find it amazing that there are no Linux GUI file browsers listed that support the column view still.

    It is also Linux, so there are probably three different ways to make partitions appear to be a different size or reserve certain blocks in the partition.

    That is the same approach used by TrueCrypt (RIP) for it's "hidden volume", to solve pretty much the same problem. https://www.truecrypt71a.com/documentation/plausible-deniabi...

    This is barely even a release announcement, it's literally just the product page. It doesn't explain any about what is new here.

    I mean it's good to remind people of older and less-known projects, but Dropbear is quite common for embedded Linux applications. OpenWRT uses it for example.

    Experience seems to show that standardizing on a codec or instruction type is the most likely path. Apple iDevices have had hardware transcoding for video for a couple releases now. You really can't just have an FPGA that you recompile

    Unless you have optimized your code as much as possible to run on x86 or GPU and still find that you need a prohibitively expensive amount of processing power to accomplish the task, then and only then is an FPGA worth it. It is literally a
