radiator··on “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”
And what about the other 20 commits? (not that it is so important, but sometimes a missing detail can be annoying)
radiator··on Thanks for the Bonus, I Quit
Cool story and I see absolutely no problem with his behaviour.
radiator··on Opting Your Website Out of Google's FLoC Network
But even if it were so, what would be the problem if 95% of the internet wouldn't exist?
radiator··on France bans air travel that could be done by train in under 2.5 hours
Connecting flights won't be affected
radiator··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
But it's one thing to train and play your favourite sport, and a completely different thing to be a coach for others. It does not follow that he will get the same satisfaction from the latter. And financially it would be probably much worse than IT.
radiator··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
There was a well-written story about someone in a large company who was by some coincidence suddenly left without duties and went on for years doing exactly that. But I no longer remember the source or whether it was a fictional story.
radiator··on Facebook freezes Venezuela president Maduro's page over Covid-19
Perhaps there will be more than one, then. There will be different ideologies which will be protected and different ones which will be censored on each one of them. In total there might be more freedom of speech.

A teacher in high school told us: to the question "which newspaper should I read?" the answer is "not one single newspaper".

radiator··on A new moralism is gripping the literary world
But why is it considered anti-trans speech, when a villain is "a male serial killer known to have worn a dress"?

Surely, in many other books the serial killer is a straight male. Why are their authors not accused of anti-heterosexual speech? Are we promoting some sort of discrimination against straight males? Are they the only ones allowed to be evil?

radiator··on Speed Is the Killer Feature
Is it possible to use the web only as a platform to deliver the newest version of your native application?

- User visits website - downloads binary (preferably small size, use an appropriate language and cross-platform graphics library) - launches it (preferably without installation) - Perhaps creation of a local storage directory on the file system is needed the first time. - and voilà!

What would be the main obstacles to such a workflow? Are there projects who try work like this?

Or Java
radiator··on Boston public schools suspend advanced learning classes
I had not missed it, but it really is back now.
radiator··on Boston public schools suspend advanced learning classes
This article was posted one hour ago and was in the top page of HN.

By now already it is nowhere to be found in the first eight pages!

Can someone explain?

radiator··on Netflix's Annual Reports (10-Ks) used to be a work of art. What happened?
I for one happen to like the typography of the 2010 version much better.
radiator··on The Reddit GME short squeeze game plan (143 days old)
Then it seems that "market manipulation" is so broad a term that many activities, essential to the daily operations of hedge funds, qualify for it.

This would be fine by me: to just make whole sectors of these financial markets illegal, close some large exchanges and companies, in an effort to somehow limit their parasitism on the the real economy.

radiator··on The Reddit GME short squeeze game plan (143 days old)
Isn't conspiracy a kind of secret agreement?
radiator··on AstraZeneca/EU contract
Why on Earth is it not fair that the UK and EU get more doses of their own vaccines per capita than Africa, South America or Oceania?

Why would they be obliged to export even one dose of something they produced, before they have provided for every single one of their citizens?

radiator··on I tried to report scientific misconduct. How did it go?
This is true, and in my opinion there is one more tendency which you also imply.

Not only the public at large, but even University graduates start to an extent distrusting those who are "professionals" in academia. It is simply a whole other world, where you are only judged by the number of papers under your name, perhaps never having contributed to anything practical - seems so detached from real life.

radiator··on Facebook shuts down the Socialist Workers Party in Britain
GP did not say they should, they just mentioned the fact that they do.
radiator··on Bitcoin is a disaster
You are not missing anything, QE means the value of the currency has dropped, there is no escaping this simple fact. Whether it can be hidden for a while and for how long, remains to be seen.
radiator··on Bitcoin is a disaster
Just pointing out; there exist also those who consider the possibility of a collapse of cash/dollar more likely than your estimate.
radiator··on CentOS Stream, or Debian?
Then use Debian on laptops as well? Both Ubuntu and Debian run on a wide range of hardware, so I don't see that as an argument in any direction.
radiator··on No one who got Moderna's vaccine in trial developed severe Covid-19
What gives you the idea that you are entitled to sue someone from whom you have determined that you have contracted covid-19?

And do you think you have this right only regarding this disease, or other similar diseases as well?

radiator··on No one who got Moderna's vaccine in trial developed severe Covid-19
You don't say? Then why are so many people here criticizing those who want to delay 4 years before testing this vaccine on themselves and on their family?
radiator··on No More Free Work from Marak: Pay Me or Fork This
This is not exactly so. Those developers who are opening issues belong to a team, that team has access to a budget. If the company has a lot of money, as you say, they themselves have some say over where this budget gets spent.
radiator··on CNCF Cloud Native Interactive Landscape
Why would you end up reinventing the wheel though if the orchestrarion layer were not common? No, you would be using the one from your cloud provider. I think that was the point of your greatgrandparent comment.
radiator··on Perl 7 is going to be Perl 5.32, mostly
Some people would consider that a good thing.
radiator··on Red Hat reports security issue in Linux Kernel which was fixed 17 months prior
But do the devices running Android generally operate with the same requirements as the servers running RHEL?
radiator··on Apple announces it will switch to its own processors for future Macs
I totally agree, I think it would be a good thing if x86 were to be replaced by something newer. Intel could even adapt and continue to play a leading role, that is another question.
radiator··on Apple announces it will switch to its own processors for future Macs
It was about time. The architecture has so much technical baggage. I don't even think it was intended to last that long.
radiator··on Amazon’s New Competitive Advantage: Putting Its Own Products First
Reading this, one gets the feeling that Amazon advertise their products on some sort of public place, and that this is perhaps not right.

But in reality they simply own the whole thing and it is perfectly reasonable to do however they want.
