EEEPc ? Oh, I used to dream of having an EEEPc ... I got my degree using old C64 - had to manually encrypt packets with pen and paper to use https.

New comment by uka in "Ask HN: Should the ArchWiki be renamed to the LinuxWiki (or something similar)?"

uka — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 09:12:47 +0000

No. Why would it? While a lot of things there are universal the purpose is to support Arch Linux. If you can use it for another distro - use it. There are more important things to spend energy on then just renaming stuf pointlessly.

C is also a programming language. Unlike go it foes not depend on a big tech company for it to live. No need to reinvent the wheel. Just use wheel that does not come with a big techh bagagge.

Ambitious. Very hard to achieve. But if we use go, github and discord for building the "anti big tech" stack - then we have failed from the start.

> First things first, why do we code? To solve problems in the most optimal way possible.

I admire the enthusiasm. As a person who codes just to solve problems in a good enough way - I assume I should stick to Rails.

Love it. What could be a good addition IMHO is to add approximate costs of the placed systems, and cost of the ammunition used during the simulation ( for both attack and defense ).

What do humans have that LLMs don't

It works great. Don't pay attention to the philosophers.

I quit twitter when I discovered it. Thank you.

If you have to be an employee- nobody is forcing you to make the job your whole life.

Whether you are at risk of getting laid off or not - not having friends outside work is a bad idea.

New comment by uka in "Before buying a NYT subscription, here's what it'll take to cancel it"

uka — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 04:29:53 +0000

I just unsubscribed using web form. There are some dark patterns involved but not too dark. E.g. first option is the chat with representative, second is the call by phone and third option is the web form. After I have navigated 3 pages using "default button" for canceling the unsubscription process - it is done. It's not the best experience, but not the nightmare the OP described.

Not only that. Siemens bribes people from the governments in third world countries to get the work from the government and totally destroys the local competition an the taxpayers.of those countries.

Bosnian here. I would never call spomeniks spomeniks in English. I would call them monuments and spomenik in Bosnian. Besides nostalgia that they cause in yugo nostalgic people - I don't see how they are special in any way

Since I gave my dad a Chromebook instead of a Windows machine - I have no problems at all. It is very hard for the tech support scammers to make him install anything on it.

So if you use a distribution that requires you to set up everything yourself - you have to setup everything yourself ? No way ...
