At least for me (Linux, Wayland) it is literally unusable, due to this bug[1] and related issues in the comments. I finally stopped putting up with it and switched to Chrome this y…

TypeScript the language works well for me. All I really want is a more robust incremental mode, especially with respect to renaming or deleting files. I've been bitten enough by th…

systemd is a significant improvement over script-based inits (and upstart, which I always found buggy). Nobody sings its praises because they don't have to: it "won" a long time ag…

Again, you're implicitly assuming the representation has to be a string of digits. I'm not sure that I can convince you, or even what to convince you of, as you aren't accepting th…

Graham's number can be computed in a few lines of code using Knuth's up-arrow notation.

Your insistence here & in the other sub-thread that these numbers are represented as a string of digits suggests that you don't understand the argument being made. If you don't ins…

Working directory can be changed on a per-thread basis on Mac with pthread_chdir_np, and on Linux you can create a thread with the clone syscall and without the CLONE_FS flag to av…

This limitation only applies to the file name, as you can chdir to the directory before bind/connect. Unfortunate but not a deal breaker

> Computers don't excite me Honestly kind of a depressing thing to read on "Hacker News", not that I disagree that UI consistency is good

I'm an old Ubuntu user and I love Unity. It's pretty, space efficient, & keyboard friendly. I'm sad to see it was discontinued and don't know what I'm going to eventually switch to…

I think few people are interested in responses other than "we will stop doing that"

Reading and writing memory are excluded from the guarantee, aside from the LR/SC instructions that bookend a transaction. Inside the transaction you're basically limited to registe…

They aren't just changing the default, they are dropping it entirely. The GNOME port is noticeably different. Apparently some other company is going to continue work on the origina…

I do and have no plans to switch from it. The constant UI flux is the worst part about using Linux.

When I last used it (early 2000s) it had built-in FTP support
