The musl community is one of my favorite things on the internet. It's obvious that many members of it could be making a generous salary at any number of companies but they're just …

To get off into the weeds a bit... I've actually spent quite a bit of time using Illumos. The epicenter of The Suck begins, in my mind, with the effort involved in actually buildin…

Competition from Linux has become very stiff. For me, Kubuntu 19.10 delivers on all of the promises that OpenSolaris made back in the day. My laptop has two 1TB SSDs in a ZFS mirro…

In my defense, I wasn't trying to do any of those things. I don't want personally want to be involved, I don't want the military of my country to be involved, and to the point of t…

I wanted to use the NVidia GPU in this laptop, it just doesn't work as well as the Intel GPU (I hate screen tearing). I think this will be great as a development environment once I…

I love this concept and I love that it is proliferating. Purism offers what I'd consider to be more attractive hardware, but that's very subjective. As of Kubuntu 19.10, I actually…

I'm a happy Protonmail user and I think this (even if it were true) is only an issue if you are being unrealistic. All companies can be legally compelled to take action regardless …

The worst part of it, in my experience, is that it can be hard to tell a food founder from a bad founder until you've spent some time working with them. I think that venture capita…

Based solely on the title, I assumed this article was going to be about Jeff Bezos. We're entering a brave new world where all compute is rented from Bezos and can only be used for…

I went to elementary school with the founder of RapidSOS and it's pretty cool to see one of us country boys making the front page of HN! If I'm being objective about this, I think …

Two words: Shia Labeouf

I realize it's somewhat off topic, but I feel like Joyent Manta deserves an honorable mention. It's an S3 style object store, but you can spin up containers on top of objects and d…

Is it possible to start an S corporation instead? Part of the appeal of Delaware is that transitioning from S->C is a well defined process, and a C corp seems a bit silly for many …

Speaking only for myself, I'm not surprised at all about this. I use Lyft exclusively, the app is much better than Uber and I've had much better experiences with the drivers (possi…

If Mike Pall happens to read this, I feel like he's really selling the world short by not writing a book about dynamic language implementation. It could influence generations of pr…

I've been waiting on this for years! Not specifically THIS, but hardware along these lines. I'd like to see at least 4GB of RAM, and then I think that I could use this with Alpine …

Tremendous work as always from Rich Felker, Rob Landley, & co.

Yeah, that was my first thought after a cursory reading, y u no ? There seems to be a lot of great content regardless. I'd love to see an updated version.

I'm not convinced that the goal here is actually to obstruct intelligence agencies, I think they'd just use a shell company or flatly demand access if they wanted it. As far as I'm…

Frankly, I don't think our government really has any idea how to deal with what is actually happening right now.

You can keep Austin. I'm gonna go gentrify your home town!

I think it's time to confront the reality that we have a serious asshole epidemic in America. It has gone unchecked for a few centuries and it has reached a fever pitch of state sa…
