Rather than the Hackaday article, which doesn't add anything to the original, here's Jeff's actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2B7oI0FYqo and post: https://www.jeffgeer…

> Bottom line: China wins. Honest questions: What does it mean for a nation state to "win" in this context? Assuming I don't like totalitarian oligopoly in the United States OR Chi…

By that same logic, fossil fuels are carbon neutral because they come from living things. The problem is we have too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, not too much of various …

Oh, I see, it's filtering by business type. A lot of the best places for cheap food around here are in a multi-purpose business, like a gas station or a tienda that have an awesome…

Still having issues here - maybe with the address lookup API?

When you can't blame the machines, pretend the workers on the lowest rungs are machines and blame them instead.

Can you point me at the posts where Codeberg was suggesting this? I just ran a quick search of Codeberg-related HN posts from the last year, and while there are some instances of "…

I think "community" and "contributor community" are getting conflated here (and I made the same mistake in my original comment). All of the projects you cited certainly have a larg…

The author seems annoyed that Codeberg wants to focus on projects that have a legitimate contributor community and is not designed for one-off individual projects. I don't share th…

I suspect rather than posting whataboutisms that it would be more useful to adhere to the spirit of the rule rather than asking how close you can get to violating it without actual…

It really is variable. My number is closer to 9, so even nights I get my "good 8 hours" I still end up with a sleep deficit by the end of the week.

GUI tools were better in the 90s when interfaces were more standardized, and I think the "invisibility" factor was a big part of it. I don't want to have to learn a company's whole…

As problematic as national IDs and related things are are, I do someone wish my country would just assign me a universal identity number and let me use that for all government docu…

It seems like the way brevity instructions have changed is mis-aligned with how most people would expect to use them or are currently using them. Here's the example they give: > In…

This comment accidentally surfaces the shifting paradigm we're seeing these days: Not so much left versus right, but dismissive populist oversimplification versus policies that sup…

You do realize that the scale on papers like this is the important part, and the creation of that scale is itself inherently biased? This particular study used a "conflict loyaltie…

I don't understand the idea of "winning" in this context. If your situation doesn't require specialized features of a particular database, then it doesn't really matter. Just pick …

I've had the good fortune to meet Cory many times over the past twenty years. I don't agree with everything he writes, but he's earned the right to be on of those authors I keep re…

I used to work at BigTech in a role where I spent a lot of time reviewing new open source projects. It was always a fun game to guess which single person in which department tried …

Directly threatening individuals and teams for petty reasons is sadly common practice in US corporate environments and among the reasons I adopted my current HN username.
