Oh please it isn't that hard. Mildly annoying maybe but you can't possibly be that "handicapped" by it. If you're using all that crap and "fought the clipboard unification battle" …

You don't need to master vim as some other commenters seem to think. I've been using vim for 10+ years, but have relatively little of the manual committed to memory. You can learn …

There are numerous rights and exceptions. Which exceptions apply vary by country and I can't speak for all countries, but virtually nothing in copyright law is strictly without exc…

Yes a standard agreement such as that is expected and customary, and they have it for good reasons. However it is not strictly required in order to make use of user-submitted conte…

That is a contract, not a license. Or more accurately it's a contract with a copyright license embedded within its terms. This is an agreement with github to grant it an explicit l…

> No. Thats like saying the very act of sharing pictures online implies you want someone else to use them, or that printing your book and selling it somehow implies you want the wo…

Wrong. If the work were unpublished however then that would be a very different situation.

Funny they specifically point to Gentoo. Gentoo, organizations hosting mirrors, and users are probably least likely of all to be affected by such a situation (binhosts aside) as ge…

I see. Yeah pretty terrible.

Boss would have to have really stepped way over the line to cross the "ignore" threshold. If I were not in a position to do anything about it I'd ideally be looking for another job…

Sure I have no qualms about disregarding common practice in certain domains, but it doesn't matter. I don't invent rules that impose unreasonable expectations on others. My expecta…

It might have something to do with the high fidelity voice calling having a reasonably large bandwidth that you could theoretically use as a data channel - many times larger than a…

Yes. Email is generally best-effort response and people need to be understanding. It's not even always the best tool for the job. UNLESS dealing with email is your primary job resp…

I think people don't read replies. :/

It's not a power thing.

I'm speaking specifically to and from the perspective of what I expect to be the majority of HN readership - those deeply involved with matters concerning the technology space. So …

Yes. Email on the internet is still best-effort delivery after all. If someone suspects an email somehow didn't get delivered that's a whole different situation. Whether or not a r…

As I understand it the actual low-level database interface may be a shared library mechanism in either case. At least, for a local database I'm pretty sure that's a function of the…

Agreed. Performance comparison is interesting in a synthetic benchmark context but the premise of the title isn't that.

This is totally uncomplicated. The choice of database is a function of your application and its architecture, not a matter of all-things-equal performance comparison. "I want an ex…

You do know an ORM is a thing that is used with a database rite? Perhaps you actually meant "don't use a relational database". Either way, LOL
