This series has been really informative regarding the history of filesystems - when each breakthrough occurred and the historical tradeoffs that were considered at each point.

This is not true. My APFS volumes are absolutely littered with .DS_Stores. They're generated every time you open a directory in the Finder.

I beg you to reconsider the repercussions of holding grudges, especially in the FOSS community. All too often I see this pattern where people take a few disagreements too personally and hold them against each other for eternity. I know who you're talking about specifically (I was on the IRC channel at the time) and I know that they are genuinely trying to make it up to you (full retractions, refraining from speaking ill of the sort in the future, attempting to adjust their behavior so that they are not so quick to jump to so-called "hot takes" or other aggressive behavior). I hope that you, in turn, could also, in your own time, learn to forgive and let go as well. Please, for the sake of good FOSS everywhere - I know the two of you could accomplish so much!

What you're saying is disingenuous at best and gaslighting at worst. Just because you apparently have a very generous budget to throw at a problem doesn't mean everyone else in the same space does. I really struggle to see what the point is in making such a comment about other people's financial situations, and I would hope you can either justify making such an inflammatory remark or walk it back.

You don't have to keep all of your credentials in LastPass. For example, I don't store any email credentials or important accounts such as Google or Microsoft. Everything else (like HN) is negligible if LastPass gets owned.

People with 16 GB iPhones really struggle with running out of storage. Some may be lucky to fit one 128 MB podcast on their phone.

Meteoroids and asteroids generally come from well-known directions since the asteroid belt is relatively confined within the plane of the solar system, with inclinations less than 30 degrees on average. But due to the Oort cloud being spherical, comets can come at us from nearly any direction.

Lately this is one feature of iOS that I have come to dislike the most, but the fact is it is quite entrenched into the product. I don't see it changing anytime soon, unfortunately.

Point, but the destructive views of minorities promoted by this publication is classic imperialist journalism.

Or, you know, they just didn't want to publish racist caricatures under the guise of satire.
