Yeah, my assumption is also that HN is a Trump mouthpiece and it's vital that the nerd/man child/incel crowd are kept distracted from what's really going on otherwise they'll... sorry, what would people do if not…
Forgive me for asking a sort-off-offtopic question, but what's the reason terminals - and therefore the programs which run within them - offer such limited scope for ctrl-key usage. A lot of characters are not available…
Yes choose what you want.
It was investigated and there was no harm?
You missed out the step where the knowledgeable people who run and have to support most of the major distros adopted systemd. When's that going to backfire? Any day now, right? I don't understand your last paragraph.…
They're free, billed quarterly. Got it.
The USA and the Chinese governments are not so different. All that ideology bollocks is window dressing; the API. The back end is the same.
"Maybe in a few years when enough powerusers convince enough casual users." Snort! You know they laugh at you when you leave them, right? There are literally billions of browser users. Power users will influence them.…
Exactly. You look at this, remember that it'll be making its way around the world (slowly at first, admittedly) and it's impossible to ignore the little internal voice where your conscience used to be whispering "kill…
"Oh wait" Nobody needs to wait on the internet - you can just go right ahead and type! "there's EBay..." You're saying that for a business to be successful on the internet they need to get their money from buying and…
Sadly, despite the downvoting and "I am! And so is my wife!" replies, you're essentially statistically correct. The number of "firefox for android" users (and I'm one of them) is just a yawn and an ironic smile between…
You say that (and I agree - I use Firefox everywhere because there's no Chrome plugin support on Android) but I'm genuinely curious to see what happens if/when Chrome stops supporting ublock origin. I suspect - sadly -…
Did local newspapers have a problem "making deals with specific advertisers"? I mean, if that's the business you're in, better get on it, right?
I don't care. If the web becomes largely paywalled as a result I'll just stop visiting those sites and stick to the still free ones. Or there's other things to do with one's time, if you cast your mind back 10 or so…
Quite. It's like I've wondered into the Large Print section of the library. What's wrong with normal sized fonts, and letting the minority with impaired eyesight or curious hardware resize as desired? Or maybe browsers…
Do you mean you worked on the case, or just that you read about it on the internet?
"I cannot imagine how it can be a good idea to reject the internet. Avoid social media all you want, but choosing not to have a search engine, dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps and so on at your fingertips is just…

No, reviews aren't important. Whether it's apps, books, movies or music, trusting a review only makes sense if you value the reviewer and I don't know if you've read reviews of Android apps but it's the same morons who…
"often aren't available at all" It's in C11. Perhaps Red Hat use non-compliant compilers, or very, very old ones?
I'm a bit puzzled how you've ended up with a system where you can't access email remotely. That probably took a lot more time than just creating a gmail account or even using your own domain but hooking it up to google…
It's quite clear Microsoft are only a couple of years from either an official linux distro or some halfway house of using a linux kernel internally for major os functionality, so it makes little sense learning some…
I always laugh when I see people saying "we..". I always think "well, what are you doing on HN (or whatever) typing then? Get on with it! We don't want that!".
"I generally think of "int" as also an adjective, with both "const" and "int" describing the variable." Eh? int is a noun, surely? How does int describe an int? I can imagine cost and long being adjectives for the noun…
You tend to get warnings to use the _s versions of some functions (strcpy_s in this case) these days.
