He also has an Italian passport, so that probably won't be a hindrance.

No idea who Jeff Geerling is, but about Rossman: He has his opinion about trans people. Some people have the opinion that he is a bigot as a consequence of that. I don't see the issue with that? Also, it's not like he'll lose his platform or his company over that, so I doubly don't see the issue here?
Not the first time this has happened recently. There were a few emails in the AUR list a few weeks ago about malicious packages, and a few reports on IRC too. The only difference in the campaign back then was the malicious npm package name (`linux-utils` in the campaign a few weeks ago).

Many of us have lived or live in countries that are constantly affected and destabilized by past and even modern interventions from the U.S. (the only blame the rest of the "West" bears here is just watching without ever acknowledging the harm done). Just look at Latin America.

edit: Not trying to say "US bad, China good." Just there is perspective to everything.

Ask HN: What arguments are there for native mobile development in 2020?

I'm wondering what arguments are there to defend the use of native development for either of the current popular mobile platforms.I've heard from quite a few folks about how native development allowed applications to have a more platform-specific feeling, although nowadays frameworks seem to have a plethora of options to customize the app based on the platform, while allowing a much quicker...

"Your password can have at least 1 cyrillic character." got me for a few good moments.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. In Brazil, we used to be able to dispatch one luggage volume without cost until the law changed and the airlines were allowed to charge extra fees for the right to check in luggage. The decision was supposed to give us cheaper tickets and what not, but, guess what, ticket prices never dropped even for the cheapest options where you have no rights to any luggage besides a small carry-on baggage, but instead, those prices only increased in the last few years! [1]

Airlines are a prime example of why the so called free-market can be a terrible thing for the consumer.

Edit: Oh, not to mention just how abusive the check-in fees for luggage are and how they wildly increase year after year.

Re:For the Love of Pipes on Tuesday January 22, 2019 @08:10AM (#18967955)
I'm probably nitpicking, but if you're using cat to pipe a single file into the sdtin of another program, you most likely don't need the cat in the first place, you can just redirect the file to the process' stdin. Unless, of course, you're actually concatenating multiple files or maybe a file and stdin together.

Disclaimer: I do cat-piping myself quite a bit out of habit, so I'm not trying to look down at the author or anything like that! :)

Isn't "view" just an alias to invoke vim on read-only mode (i.e. you can still edit the text, do anything else you can do on vim and then save the contents to another file instead of the original file)?
