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.
One person did try to change it. He's currently being held in jail awaiting trial for killing the CEO of a health insurance company.

Everybody gets to make at least one test article in production.
Wouldn't be HN if there wasn't some jerk flexing.
The easiest solution is to assume your webcam is 100% hostile and keep a cover/sticker on it until you need it.
Re:Response to DHH on Monday October 14, 2024 @05:02PM (#41841967)
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.
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)
Fucked around, found out.
Hypersonic missiles can defeat current defense systems (based on available intelligence)
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...
Wasn't Wayfair also caught selling stuff to ICE?
Oh jesus christ, can we stop with the acquisitions?

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.
Thanks for the feedback.
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.

Re:Ask HN: Where can I find good legal documents? on Tuesday January 16, 2024 @09:56AM (#39013907)
A lawyer. I would try contacting a local startup incubator to see if they have any recommendations before you start googling or looking up Avvo.

I also found Termly helpful for a first Privacy Policy especially through their wizard, which clears up all your GDPR/CCPA matters, but you want a professional to look this over at some point.

Also of interest is Exapunks (https://www.zachtronics.com/exapunks/), which did a better job teaching me asm than my college course did.
If anyone from Expedia is reading, please add a filter so I can search for "Airbus flights only." Thanks.
Just because you flagged this story doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Re:Figma and Adobe are abandoning our proposed merger on Monday December 18, 2023 @08:30AM (#38682141)
And good for users because it means Adobe can't nickel and dime creatives by buying out competitors. Tell me you're an MBA without saying it.
