HN flagging this says all that needs to be said about what side HN and YC has chosen.

I'm leaving.

Starting me on E1M9 with the arrow keys and a pistol on what I'm told is Nightmare difficulty is a dick move.

The easiest solution is to assume your webcam is 100% hostile and keep a cover/sticker on it until you need it.

I never thought Matt's unhinged behavior would make DHH look sane, and private equity look reasonable, but here we are.

I guess it's a good thing I moved to Hugo a year ago.

I don't think that's true anymore, I believe Mike sold the IP to CD Project and has a stake in the company now, but I need to find a source to confirm this.

New comment by thrillgore in "SSH has become our universal (Unix) external access protocol"

thrillgore — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 14:54:01 +0000

You can do all sorts of things with SSH. My favorite is SSHFS, which is couplings for SFTP that treat it like a proper filesystem, and it works on everything that uses SSH. Quicker to setup than a VPN and SMB, and about as secure (you could also theoretically use PAM to authenticate with LDAP or newer MFA protocols)

People are forgetting why they are really building this hypersonic rocket: Nuclear stockpile.

There are still emissions from cars: rubber from the tires, steel, aluminum, and other metals from part wear...

Which is just rich, as Analogue takes advantage of preorders to limit hardware on a per-order basis, meaning they are always out of stock. Don't have this issue with the MiSTer.

This is very uncharacteristic of the direction Linus was heading. Damn, Steven must have seriously fucked up.

>You copied that function without understanding why it does what it does, and as a result your code IS GARBAGE. AGAIN.

I generally believe in positivity but if I saw this as his direct report I'd move him to another project ASAP to get scrutiny on his code quality.

I know the EU gets a lot of hate on HN, but its clear they're the last force on Earth trying to actively save it from the woes of unchecked capitalism.
