Yes. Unix-enough. Why not play, today: https://www.mess.org/howto/apollo ;-)

THAT Michal Kosinski... I wonder where the seed for this idea started, such that it germinated so far. Are people still doing this in the second decade of the 21st century?

VR: still rubbish. Not rocket science.

I'll avoid them and stay with good ol' reliable homeopathy.

They can be traded at the current exchange of 1 Mysterium for 2 MumboJumbiums.

Hey Grandma... You're costing us too much so we're going to treating you as a currency. Climb into your trading shoes...

Better yet, I'll get you a printer and you can print me some transferable bills.

So this is like buying food vouchers that I can redeem at a store that hasn't yet been built, if indeed it has been given planning permission and even if it does eventually get built, I have no idea how the service and product will taste. And I can't then report any irregularities.

Ponzi? No. Unregulated gambling? Of course.

Sign me up!

Nostalgia isn't an affliction of the elderly. Its presence for all ages shows it's more a recurrent lack of consideration of reality, or many other such memory and coping mechanisms. That isn't to say it's bad, but needs to be understood as limiting in context.

The horse left that barn a long time ago.

This macho crap pervades the actions, language and demeanour of modern business and notably technology.

Time to grow up and take responsibility.

Oh dear New Scientist. _Steal_? What was wrong with the original article title?

Airbnb for clothes.

Uber shoes.

I just don't know where to start. This is so bad and pretty condescending.

It would be interesting to see the frequency of words found in comments—TODO, FIXME, LATER, OMG—foreach language too.

I am investigating Variable Assignment as a Service.

Sorry.

prll https://github.com/exzombie/prll is a very pleasant and approachable alternative that I've used in preference to GNU Parallel.

Wow. I must never take what he's taking. So much anger. Yet strangely entertaining as only Zed, Linus and Andy can be, with only the slightest prod or provocation. Or anything really. It's unfortunate that it's often difficult to make one's way past this; I really enjoyed Lamson. But it just comes down to money and anger, so much anger and so little understanding and restraint.

I'm going to visit and give him SUCH A BIG HUG!!

Unfortunately it often appears that one person's bias is another's fodder. Dailymail.com is incredibly astute and manipulative—that's their business. Bias? Of course, and they know it. They would tell you, I suspect, that they are in the bias business.

Is there a solution? A biasometer?

In Trump's hands...!

This, VR and smart 3D television.

Vacuous comment pieces are great for generating and maintaining interest and pushing understanding and ideas forward. However, reality checks are essential to avoid this being little more than a sci-if short story, with realistic considerations.

Delving into why quantum computing may not be useful for implementing PHP 8 would be an interesting article. Encryption is the quantum computing poster child. What else will it give us?

Only being negative to help us find the positives and promote practical and realistic understanding of the subject.

I'm obviously reminded of http://www.operasoftware.com/press/releases/general/opera-un.... Is Mozilla reinventing the web again, too? Will this following the footsteps of Persona, and all those other Mozilla experiments. I would prefer less focus on such a public lab space where money is thrown, and greater focus on reality. Sorry for the negative view but Mozilla appears to have the same lack of focus problems as many other companies.

What was that loud noise!

Ah yes, it was the floodgates opening... ;@)

Thanks for adding clarity.

As much as I can empathise with the sentiments expressed here this unfortunately comes across as a self-absorbed and indulgent caffeine-fuelled episode. Perhaps I wouldn't be so critical if I understood the extended context. Time to read more from the author...

Worst HN post and comments ever. Sounds like a kindergarten fracas.

Which ssh client doesn't give you a ctrl key?

This isn't a new phenomenon http://www.metamute.org/editorial/articles/once-lifetime

IBM and Sun know.

I don't get it. Sorry.

A new kind of more of the same oh no not another bloody chat client wait i'm going to write a wordpress clone.
