I've always wondered about what you bring up in your second paragraph and the rest of your post is great. You do things pretty much like we do so you just saved me a lot of researc…

There are thousands and thousands of cops and you want to hold up one example as being representative? And before you scour the web looking for a second example, remember that ther…

Completely true. 25% of Yahoo still runs FreeBSD. Source: my brother-in-law works there.

The Netflix Open Connect CDN is provided for larger ISPs that have over 100,000 subscribers. A specially built low power high storage density appliance caches Netflix content withi…

It may be due to the quality of the clay, or the lack of clay at all, for making the bricks. I saw a documentary on this just a few months ago aired by our local PBS station on thi…

This has nothing to do with what I said.

"I don't see how weighing the flour will help." Said no serious bread baker ever.

When you add salt to bread, and the recipe calls for one teaspoon, a teaspoon of kosher salt is not the same as table salt or sea salt. So how much is it? (It's significantly diffe…

Who forced this? It's way too early for me to make this comment, I think, but "Dinosaur's mating?". Square peg force fitting into round hole?

So it's a good thing Truman put a stop to it before it got out of hand.

Since you say Hoover took over the FBI's predecessor in the 1920s, and the KGB was not formed until 1954, and the Gestapo in 1933, you have a credibility problem.

In Podunk Hollow, Iowa, where $300/month gets you a 3-bedroom house, you're a millionaire. In New York City, you work at Starbucks at night to get by.

I think English works pretty good as it is.

Said no one who knows what they're talking about.

"I didn't say you should use it, nor would I. Only that it isn't pointless/futile to attempt. No tool will be as mature as bison or what have you until it has also been battle test…

Design? This needs re-coding first. I can do that but, ass, gas or grass; nobody rides for free. (Not that I wouldn't or haven't)

The downvotes came before I said that. Not after. >you saw the markup and decided they weren't worth helping. Now you're making things up or guessing. My statement gives this marku…

I see cowardly HN'ers downvoting my post without commenting on how they think I'm wrong (I'm not and I'm better than you) but I restrained myself on what I really thought. My grand…

What you just said is this new thing isn't as good, and probably never will be, but you imply we should use it, even though the current tools are better. See my complaint? If they …

It's awful. I thought HN just didn't care. Why is this so hard? I do this every day for work and HN should be dead simple. Is this saying HN doesn't have anyone who knows how to do…

So your trying to say this thing does a better job?

Make existed long before npm and make is the basis of all our package management in our company and our operating systems.

But doing this in C already exists and works well. I don't understand the point of it. Although, in this day and age, rather than use the standard Unix toolset, people invent their…

Hmm. So for people who don't know how to use Unix/flex/yacc? This is just reinventing an existing wheel.
