radiator··on Netflix Shareholders Vote to Reject Executive Pay Packages
What are the differences between ESG and the Social Credit System of the People's Rebublic of China?
radiator··on Security.txt file now mandatory for Dutch government websites
If it is a public job description why must it be https? Baseless criticism might tell more about yourself than about them.
radiator··on EU achieved independence from Russian fossil fuels
In your rather long post, you did not mention the fact that Russia refuses to sell oil to any country which applies the price cap. I wonder, is this really not relevant for your analysis?
radiator··on The long life of Apache httpd 2.4
Why? Maybe the Cloud servers will die instead.
radiator··on Remove “This incident will be reported.” from user warnings
So ...puppy Linux?
radiator··on Random Numbers in Bash
Unfortunately, this is neither readable nor particularly concise.
radiator··on Miller test
Why exactly did this surprise you? Did you think Wikipedia ever had an impartial stance towards conservatives?
radiator··on Ask HN: Can any Hetzner user please explain your workflow on Hetzner?
It does not look so painful. I have found this guide helpful [https://jameshfisher.com/2018/03/16/how-to-create-an-ssh-cer...]
radiator··on Ask HN: Do you think this is the start of the new financial crisis?
This, plus at that time you would be downvoted to extinction if you dared suggest that printing so many dollars will unavoidably bring inflation.
radiator··on Deutschlandticket for regional bus and rail services to be offered for €49/month
In Greece the railway might be minimal but at the same time it is very deadly.
radiator··on Bsdutils: Alternative to GNU coreutils using software from FreeBSD
Gentoo was born as linux. Portage, the package manager, was inspired from BSD ports. Maybe they tried to experiment with also using a BSD kernel later, as did Debian, but it was only a side project.
radiator··on “Clean” code, horrible performance
Switch is not bad, far less is there any reason to hate it.
radiator··on Why and how I use Org Mode for my writing and more
I am not a user of orgmode, but: Managers would not have an opinion on the technical tools used for a presentation but would rather focus on important things, like clarity of message, tempo etc. But even if they do have an opinion, who cares?
radiator··on We are dropping the Dilbert comic because of creator Scott Adams racist rant
You get quite a lot of downvotes around here, just for quoting facts.
radiator··on Building an ARM64 home server the hard way
Are there any boxes without a graphics card or at least with a primitive one? So that they would be more economical in case you only need them for the role of a server?
radiator··on Shoichiro Toyoda, who turned Toyota into global automaker, has died
Tetsuo Sakiya - Honda Motor the men, the management, the machines

Tangential: there are many books on the Toyota system, so that they have stolen the show. I have always suspected that other Japanese factories might have also had interesting production systems but only found the above book about Honda. Honda apparently invested more in R&D and always took greater risks than Toyota. I believe some ideas from there can also be applied to IT.

Anyone know of others?

radiator··on Shoichiro Toyoda, who turned Toyota into global automaker, has died
The EU had also banned and stopped operating coal generators, but now they are back in operation.
radiator··on Shoichiro Toyoda, who turned Toyota into global automaker, has died
There are many books on the Toyota system, so that they have stolen the show. I have always suspected that other Japanese factories might have also had interesting production systems but only found one book about Honda. How did you know this detail about the electric andon originating at Suzuki? Can you suggest books on this topic?
radiator··on šljiva, Serbia's popular brandy, could be the next mezcal
Since you say that Cyprus is 2 countries now, you must be from Turkey.
radiator··on Ask HN: What companies are embracing “HTML over the wire”?
It is not milliseconds on older devices and network is not always the bottleneck

Most of the time you read e-mails, not write them.

When you write e-mails, most of the time you don't need multiple attachments. The first attachment is reasonably fast to add.

radiator··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
Wow, things really are so rosy on planet jlmorton. But meanwhile on planet earth, and especially the Western hemisphere, real inflation has been going through the roof -- to name only one of the myriad economic problems.
radiator··on Japan has changed in important and visible ways
You could answer their English in Norwegian, or even some other language, e.g. French. If you have started the conversation in Norwegian, they should not assume you can speak English anyway.
radiator··on Make a Resume in LaTeX
An one-page, two-column document, where every vertical and horizontal spacing is manually adjusted at a low level. The placement of the photograph, the introduction, a slightly altered font for highlighting technical terms, need only be made one time so that it is simpler than using someone else's class and trying to bend it.
radiator··on Make a Resume in LaTeX
I used to keep my CV in LaTeX as well using some ready-made cls but I wanted to better control the typesetting and I switched to troff instead.
radiator··on 230 years since British pirates robbed the US of the metric system
Such a long article, repeatedly praising the "simplicity" of the metric system, and it still ignores all possible opposing views. Not a word about the superiority of the duodecimal system when dividing quantities, even though a couple of examples are quoted (12 inches is a foot, 12 pence to the shilling). No effort to explain whyever someone would approach the matter in this way. The author is either extremely biased or extremely ignorant.
radiator··on Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years
Yes, they pay you for that time, so what? Are you also not losing if you are not satisfied with your working environment?
radiator··on U.S. stock market returns – a history from the 1870s to 2022
Why? He has children, does he not?
radiator··on U.S. stock market returns – a history from the 1870s to 2022
Actually it looks like the US is already on the way of demotion from a global superpower to a regional power. There is no single country which comes as a replacement, but a multipolar world order instead. Many countries, mostly asian are emerging.
radiator··on The skilled trades haven't caught as a career choice with Gen Z
Tangential, but inflation is so high, we could all be earning millions by the end of the decade.
radiator··on Shopify tells employees to just say no to meetings
You must be working in a magical place where all contributors express themselves clearly in writing and read long emails.
