There is no such thing as a community run project. But either way, people told the author to literally stop writing Rust code because he doesn't respect semver. This is not a participation, this is just hate.

How is it inconsistent? You simply have to constrain wealth collection to ensure free markets.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
Well, yeah, free market and capitalism are conflicting ideologies. It's the same with free software, you can't have both user freedom and freedom for corporations to take away user freedom. Second will always just subvert the firs

But if you don't know UX, how can you judge such portfolio? You will be leaning towards pretty show-offy things, but not good UX.

Nope, encrypted SNI cannot work against GFW or pretty much any state censorship as the whole idea is bullshit and relies on everyone a) tunneling DNS queries to a centralized party, which itself only operates under the state's mercy, a

You can explain SSD as a controller you send commands to that writes data to and reads from a log structured storage on top of raw flash.

Status quo (pr, marketing) is already positive. So there is literally no point talking about anything positively here.

No, these are not UX metrics, these are commercial metrics. There is a reason conversions and tech-support costs and almost all a/b tests and all that are not even remotely good UX metrics, as they do not exist to measure anything user

What reasonable default? You don't know where people want to install your binaries and you do want people to know what other OSes you support. In UX if the number of choices is very small, like those couple of OSes you support, it is a

by zzzcpan 7y ago
Don't. That's an anti-pattern in UX. People download binaries for different OSes all the time, so list links for all OSes you support.

There are plenty of legitimate purposes. I use it to disable keepalive for POST requests, redirect to https:// for browsers known to be able to establish a secure connection, whitelist tor browser bundle, detect behavior of Acce

That's not an active fingerprinting vector, especially within the context of https, still passive one with a minor protocol detail.

Random UA can get you outright blocked for looking like a bot. So is faking Googlebot and such.

Despite all the PR about "privacy", they don't seem to intend to prevent detection at all and are introducing even more surface for detection with client hints. Basically the opposite of what the title implies.

Expecting something is not a promise, just an attitude they want to have towards it at the moment. I think you are also confusing who is even in a position to promise what. Kernel is not an OS people can use, but only something an OS (distr

No, you should ignore OSI crap. They interpret "open" as open to be closed and abused by corporations, not remaining open for end users.

There are very few real copyleft licenses in the age of SaaS. Basically just Parity [1] and API Copyleft [2] licenses. The rest allow corporations to build proprietary services on top of such software without releasing any of that proprieta

On linux there is the best of both worlds approach. You can use zram for swap and userspace OOM killer, like earlyoom. If processes start using a bit more memory or leaking they won't get killed and nothing will slow down much, but wil

It's just bad irrelevant title and blogspam level of content attempting to "explain" why big corporations suck at producing quality software.

Sounds like bullshit. 15.6 degrees would just require better insulation to trap body heat, maybe even a sleeping bag level insulation. 18-20 degrees is where the lowest bound is for a regular blanket and some pyjamas.

It's still not an explicit guarantee. Actually, Linux the kernel doesn't guarantee or promise anything, it's only distros that try, and those that do promise some compatibility, don't promise all that much. The best prom

Can any of the downvoters explain disagreement? I actually maintain a small Go library of syscall wrappers for Linux and BSDs and don't get why people are spreading FUD about it, as if it's a minefield. It's not, it's a

by zzzcpan 7y ago
I don't think Linux actually guarantees syscall-level compatibility, so no need to single it out, it's just like everyone else.

I can speculate that this particular submission might be flagged because it goes against anti-Youtube propaganda that some HN-popular companies are participating in, like Mozilla. And, you know, people love to suppress opposing views to the

Keywords, names, filenames don't retain their meanings from English, so it's not important where they came from. And error messages use the same few English words, but mostly all those keywords, names, filenames. Documentation ava
