I loved SourceSafe for the disappearing files, and the usual "John locked the file and he went on holidays."

The topic is about 2 humans beings talking, and you manage to insert slop in the process. That's really missing the point.

Unless you write tower defense games all day long for a living, I don't know how it's interesting.

The bash syntax is irrelevant to the tools available. It's useless without tools to run.

More of what? What do you need and what are your problems?

Feel free to stop using Linux then, and all the server that rely on it to send you this HN page. Stop using HN now if you're serious about what you said.

Absence of parenting is a bigger threat than privacy. I accidentally agree with you, even if you're wrong.

Is it? I can lookup that word and see it in the pictures. Or is it the StreetView version that has been censored somewhere?

Post those in a public repository as it's the only way to check what has been done.

They may have changed the screenshots but I confirm that I received the same kind of email. Same technique and email from Google, the only difference was that it had some spam at the bottom of the email.

It's a bit like someone saying "To view this website, enable JavaScript in your browser settings and reload the page" to read a simple piece of text ;)

Ironically it is still on the front page with a lot of people defending big businesses (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44529061). I do hope they don't mind having to jump through hoops to cancel their subscriptions, or they are part of the propaganda (which could be a real thing nowadays).

Fill the README. Rename the file "backend index.js," it's never a good idea to have spaces in filenames. Do you use a linter?
