imcritic··on Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time
Yeah, they didn't even bother to suggest paying you with tokens for the job well done! The audacity!

Why disallow AI input? Is it that poor? Surely it isn't.
imcritic··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Sure, everyone who opposes Ukrainian lies must be a troll.
imcritic··on Ask HN: Should HN be tech news and discussions only?
What are you talking about? What link? Link where to? Your initial question is "should this site be only for white news? I'm tired getting caught in discussions of black news!"

You are being told, that it's impossible, since the world is not black and white: everything is of a shade of gray - either brighter or darker, but neither black, nor white.

imcritic··on Ask HN: Should HN be tech news and discussions only?
It should, but it's impossible: the line between politics and tech is blurry, everything is political to some extent.
imcritic··on Show HN: OpenWorkers – Self-hosted Cloudflare workers in Rust
I don't think what you want us even possible. How would such guarantees even look like? "Hello, we are a serious cybersec firm and we have evaluated the code and it's pretty sound, trust us!"?

"Hello, we are a serious cybersec firm and we have evaluated the code and here are our test with results that proof that we didn't find anything, the code is sound; Have we been through? We have, trust us!"

imcritic··on I stayed in a $40 capsule hotel (London)
That's hell. So most of the time you are away from your home and probably from your family if you have one. If you don't have one - you are leaving your home unwatched most of the time. You pay for 2 places instead of 1. 3-5 hrs commute away from your job - that's nuts by itself.

What you should dream of instead - most jobs becoming remote or physically proximal to where you live.

imcritic··on OrangePi 6 Plus Review
Weird article: it compares with raspberry pi 5 instead of OrangePi 5 Plus, the predecessor.
imcritic··on Nvidia to buy assets from Groq for $20B cash
Then how would double intensifier look like?
imcritic··on The post-GeForce era: What if Nvidia abandons PC gaming?
Depends on what that game brings, I might like it a lot. Again, me and all my friends love indie games, most of them with pixel graphics or just low polygon. The market for such games is big enough. Just look up some popular indie games sales estimations.
imcritic··on The post-GeForce era: What if Nvidia abandons PC gaming?
That's bullshit. I don't care about graphics, I play lots of indie games, some of them are made by a single person. There are free game engines, so basically all one needs for a successful game is just a good idea for the game.

And a friend of mine still mostly plays the goddamn Ultima Online, the game that was released 28 years ago.

imcritic··on GotaTun – Mullvad's WireGuard Implementation in Rust
I wish they would improve wireguard-the-protocol as well: wireguard doesn't stand a chance against gov/isp blocks.
imcritic··on High Performance SSH/SCP
I have the opposite opinion and experience: a simple file copy is pretty trivial with scp, but with rsync - it's a goddamn lottery. Too many options, too many possible modes and thus I am never sure about the outcome meeting my expectations.
imcritic··on Go is portable, until it isn't

Some things are curious. Not every thing should ignite curiosity.
imcritic··on Bag of words, have mercy on us
I didn't claim or think it was written with a help of LLM, it was just written by someone who enjoys the feeling of being a writer, or even better, a Journalist!

This always contrasts with articles written by tech people and for tech people. They usually try to convey some information and maybe give some arguments for their position on some topic, but they are always concise and don't wallow in literary devices.

imcritic··on Bag of words, have mercy on us
Isn't it pretty clear just from the first paragraph that the author has graphomania? Such people don't really care about the thesis, they care about the topic and how many literary devices they can fit into the article.
imcritic··on Show HN: Kraa – Writing App for Everything
This is damn awesome!

Edit: at first I thought it was too damn awesome, but then I noticed that my phone is overheating after just a few minutes watching the live chat.

imcritic··on Landlock-Ing Linux
This approach is stupid.

That's like relying on criminals to cuff themselves when they have committed a crime.

imcritic··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
I just learned about this project.

I do play games and I am a Linux user.

I see this project being an OS distribution with image update approach. It basically has some programs used for gaming on Linux preinstalled and probably preconfigured.

I wish the project would exist in 2 variants: an OS (as it currently is) and as an installer that would allow the user to select parts to install and configure on their current Linux distro.

Because I am using debian, this is my home PC and gaming is not the sole thing that I do on this PC.

Switching to a Fedora distro is not an option for me.

So, as nice as this project is - I say farewell to it.

imcritic··on Same-day upstream Linux support for Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
Well, that's not the same, that's well-deserved.
imcritic··on Same-day upstream Linux support for Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
This makes no sense. Just imagine you would get handcuffed tomorrow. Collateral damage. Blame some guy. Or a gal.

imcritic··on Kubernetes Ingress Nginx is retiring
This makes no sense.

Where would one take a machine to dynamically reconfigure envoy? How would one configure it?

> The tradeoff is that you can do truly zero downtime configuration changes.

So... just like with nginx?

imcritic··on Human Fovea Detector
Probably. They use terrorist packets, which is a no go here.
imcritic··on Kubernetes Ingress Nginx is retiring
But envoy configs are unreadable abominations, why would you choose it? How did you even learn how to configure it? It's documentation is so confusing.
imcritic··on .NET MAUI is coming to Linux and the browser
Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or will it come anyway?
