    How do you even enforce such a policy? And who the hell is IDA run by? The Soup Nazi?

    Although I use Python extensively and started to forget about Pascal (ex Delphi guy here), Pascal is a much better beginner language IMO. Start with Python and you're most likely t…

    Mozilla the foundation did deserve this. This is what you get when you force a perfectly technical CEO out and let the MBA types steer the ship. A browser is a forever bleeding edg…

    EU and NATO have always been abusive partners to Turkey, that's why he's pulling out. Actually calling them allies from Turkey's pov is outright a foolish thing to do, a better wor…

    You can achieve a primitive workspace switching scenario via libinput, xdotool and similar bandaids in any distro. What they boil down to is... once a certain 3/4 finger gesture th…

    That's one hell of a pessimistic view if I've ever seen one. What I see is an brilliantly managed company despite having a globally distributed team, which has a great pace of deve…

    An HN with longer attention span and without the haste. Come to think of it that would be really sweet.

    LOL. I, too, sometimes forget HN is an American majority community and get enraged by the occasional foolishly bold comment like parent's. But then the reality sets in... I am on A…

    I am flagging down all Turkey related threads these days. I don't see how political debates about the failed coup is a subject to be discussed on HN.

    I'm speculating, rather sooner than later, the foundation will let people (read Chinese) clone Pi Zero at will ala Arduino way. They can't even have a profit margin with that price…
