> $100k buy in at the hedgefund I know. Its a big figure for most but starting salaries, friends & family, and personal loans will get you there.
Surely this is a HN culture bubble? Very few people can borrow tens of thousands of dollars from family and friends to lend to a hedge fund. Not only would I be refused, I'd damage friendships by exposing the moral vacuum at my core.
Thanks - I'd previously read the rules but totally misremembered them, I thought you were /supposed/ to reply when flagging!
I didn't flag that one I don't think, but I suspect the use of "cope" set some folks off.
Sorry, I'll just flag their comments in future and explain why I'm doing so.
Please don't accuse people of lying on HN without evidence, it lowers the quality of the discussion.
I've flagged your comment for this reason.

Really well - they make the best web browser around!
I don't care whether you believe me or not.
I pay them via Patreon. Google will never see any of my money.
> So if I pushed back on the notion that my identity is a "malignant, parasitic-like condition to which 'white' people have a particular susceptibility" [1], by e.g. stating it is merely "okay", that would be racist?
If you push back on it /using far right slogans/ of course it's racist.
> When they see we're not resisting, they'll tone down the rhetoric until we all get along. Because that's what has been happening so far - as we get closer to equality, the rhetoric is becoming milder and milder, right?
The problems that you think you have - that you're not allowed to express yourself in terms of far right slogans - are fucking pathetic and you should be ashamed of yourself for pursuing them. You have been clearly been given a life of privilege, because people who experience poverty or racism don't pick such cringeworthy fights, divorced from the suffering and problems of the real world.
You're leaning 100% into prescriptivism, taking the literal meaning of "It's Okay To be White". The vast majority of far-right slogans are innocuous on a surface reading. The most famous of all - the 14 words - are completely inoffensive if you ignore how they're used.
This is quite basic knowledge for how the far right operates, and so you're either deliberately concern trolling, or you're genuinely ignorant (in which case why are you so sure of your opinions?)
You're spot on - it's the idle thoughts of a privileged white man trying to justify racism, but he presents no new arguments, and dresses the whole thing up in academicese.
HN is full of privileged people with terrible opinions.
This is pure concern trolling, and /racist/ concern trolling at that. Your post history speaks volumes. HN isn't the place for this.
Hits several HN shibboleths, but devoid of insight. These are the usual opinions of tech bros who have never faced adversity.
> There's nothing at all dehumanising about the phrase "The Poor" (if you think there is, compare to eg “the rich”. Are we dehumanizing the rich every time we call them that?)
Yes. That's why anti-capitalist protests will criticise "the rich" and not "rich people".
> Is there even any interpretation that would allow this to be seen as anything different than industrial style IP infringement?

I avoid it where I can, but some folks only post videos on youtube. It's much harder for a video-sharing alternative to get off the ground because google (and others in big tech) completely distort the playing field.
I suggest you try to get in contact with charities specialising in human trafficking. They may be able to help you find your original identity and country of birth. If your parents were European it's likely your birth was registered
Can your country of birth not provide consular assistance? Presumably you're still a citizen there, whether or not you have access to your passport.
Parasocial technology fetishism. Gross.
Most of the alternatives you suggest are implemented in PAX, which is an extension of the tar format. The EoF block is useful if the archive is written directly to physical media without a filesystem: it lets you determine where the archive ends.
Good riddance - it is unethical to work for these companies unless you attempt to sabotage their operations from the inside.
If a structural engineer points out that a bridge is unsafe, you don't call them "engineerbrained" and gesture at all the motorists still using the bridge. Why do we accept this bollocks in software engineering? Meta are not trustworthy and it's reasonable to want nothing to do with them.
> If people are so upset, why didn't they migrate to something like Debian or SuSE when CentOS got axed?
Many people did. The remainder were too tied up in the RHEL ecosystem (including CentOS) to make the move, but red hat's recent shitcanery will push many more away.
CentOS Stream is also affiliated with Red Hat
> They can both be private methods in a single module, the example still applies fine?
It does, but you're now looking at an edge case that rarely arises in practice in a well-maintained codebase, and certainly not one to design your entire branching/merging/CI strategy around.
If your codebase is a spaghettified nonsense then the problem arises much more often, and so I can understand the use of merge trains/whatnot.
> For example, say A is a patch that renames the function foo() to foobar()
Why are you allowing commits to land that break interfaces?
If this is a public function it should go through a deprecation cycle.
If this is a private function then it shouldn't be accessed from outside its module/class/whatever in the first place. If it is, then you've got the "messy codebase" I referred to in my original comment.
You've misread my comment. Whether you rebase on the target, or merge in from the target, the effect is the same. My point is that you only need to do that if you encounter git conflicts that must be solved manually.
