A fair conclusion. SREs predicated Twitter would crumble when Twitter's SRE team was laid off. It had some hiccups, but seems stable now. I suppose the next line of defence is that…

There's a time and space for games, but I'll just note that for HN readers, following https://www.amazon.com.au/Digital-Design-Computer-Architectu... and building a RISC-V in Veril…

I'll look into it. I think I acquired frugality from reading a few books that made me frugal. I'd like other traits too.

Those are easy to see, but there are few people who clean their dishes for fun/leisure.

Nice. I've been looking for something like this to self-host, to avoid my partner uploading sensitive documents to random PDF manipulation websites. Any better alternatives I shoul…

+1. I moved from Sourcehut when it announced IRS change of TOS. I realised I would prefer to support less discriminatory forges. I also have no interest in crytocurrency.

I've not yet been interested in anything VR, but glad to see there's innovation and cheap entry points.

I know nothing about rockets but bits of project management: it's common to break down projects into smaller parts and derisk designs/implementations by testing each piece. The ref…

I feel silly for getting involved! I see OP now mentions this: > Edit 3: please note that this statement was originally addressed to the F-Droid team, not a general audience.

Wow. If anything, working around 8 bit's limitations seems to make 32 bit look simpler in comparison.
