This is the problem with destroying industries then trying to keep small remaining pockets of it/restarting it. You lose all of the institutional knowledge, the stuff that isn't written down, the stuff that comes from experience.

This is only exacerbated when those projects you're trying to do become massively over budget and late. People decry it as a waste and a failure, leading to any hard won knowledge being lost yet again as those projects gets scrapped and all the people making it lose their jobs.

You don't get good making things if you only try once every 30 years, you get better by continually doing that thing, passing the hard won knowledge down through the workforce by training incoming people not from hiring "experts" and expecting everyone to be up to speed on project #1 immediately.

As if people read guidelines. Sure they're good to have so you can point to them when people violate them but people (in general) will not by default read them before contributing.

You don't have to use MS' keys, you can setup secure boot using your own keys reasonably easily.

Literally `git reflog`

On the flip side, it's super similar to those video poker machines in bars and restaurants.

Other than playing cards being shown on screen, it's not.

If you allowed the option to increase the bet

There is no betting in Balatro.

and got rid of the special joker abilities, it's basically the same thing.

So completely change how the game works completely then it's "basically the same" as video poker? Do you hear yourself?

People claiming otherwise are being willfully ignorant.

People claiming otherwise can tell the difference between 2 games using playing cards.

I love Balatro, but it's definitely gambling adjacent

Again, there is no gambling in Balatro.

and depending on how rules/laws around children gambling are defined, it probably should be age gated, or those rules/laws should be updated to reflect reality, you can't have it both ways.

Gonna ignore this because you haven't explained in any way how Balatro is in anyway "gambling adjacent" other than your made up situation where if you completely change the way the game works it becomes gambling, which of course is nonsense.

Which regulations mandate these "complex systems"?

Piper[1] has always worked for me. Granted I only use wired mice.

That was due to fundamental differences in standards[1] though. This isn't the case with DVD onwards (mostly).

I remember my first linux admin gig and mistyping my password when using sudo then getting an email about it a few seconds later. After years of home linux use this amused me and was like "oh, so that's what happens when things are configured properly".

I don't like them and won't contribute to projects with them but isn't this the exact point of a CLA[1]? A textfile in the repo seems a lot easier to track and audit than PR comments and a bot to chase people.

What horrors lurk in the depths of those lovelessly constructed TV OSs that call out to servers and will cause mayhem when those servers are decommissioned?

My Sony TVs all work without an internet connection, so I'd guess nothing?

TFA is literally marketing for them. HN is their target audience and a good way to capture that audience is to show them something technically interesting.

They're running ECC on consumer level Intel chips?

Works for me. I have Youtube on constantly when at my desk as background noise and uBo is still blocking everything perfectly fine.

Edit: Seems Google/Youtube are experimenting/testing with injecting ads directly into the video streams:

Yes, but:

1. Other people with different needs exist.

2. That's why we have schedulers.

This has been on my list of things to do for a while, saves me a job. Thanks for sharing.

If X owns the building they can seize that, tennants be damned.

That's the whole point of SaaS isn't it?

Pretty sure the entire point of SaaS is that sweet recurring revenue.

The USA is not the World.

Maybe read a bit further in my reply and see my second argument about actual linux distros that address your point.

Maybe their target user isn't the one you're basing your opinion of what a user is?

Take vi(m). It's not intuitive to your suggested target user and has a learning curve shaped like a cliff. So it fails to provide for what you consider a "user". However it serves it's actual target users very well.

Arch doesn't position itself towards what you have presented as a user, Mint might however as they have very different target audiences. Not everything has to be designed to the lowest common denominator.

Pipe to sh is simple, transparent

Not so transparent[1]. Packages from a package repo are signed, usually with keys not stored on the same server so if someone nefarious breached a server they can easily replace a bash script, they can't re-sign and replace a package.

Sure it's safe if you download the script then review it then install it, but hey, you reviewed it last time, it's probably unchanged, what's the harm of piping it directly to bash next time you need to get set

Having lived in apartments on many busy roads in my life the main source of noise from cars is tyre noise, not engine noise.

I make heavy use of Peek and it's great. Unfortunately it's abandoned so will likely stop working eventually.

Because higher bitrates cost more to store and transmit.if they can drop the size of every file they have by 40% that's 40% savings every time someone streams something even if it looks like dogshit.

testing is absolutely not a rolling release. Sure it gets new packages faster than stable which can appear to be the same as a rolling release it gets frozen before a stable release and suddenly it's not a rolling release.

It has more information on the front page about the distro than the debian website has about debian. I guess debian shouldn't be used either.

Also antix has a hyperlink which clicking would have answered your question as to what antix is.

Having worked (and frequented) loud bars and clubs for decades no one can hear anyone and just nods along.

Good luck getting that past security...
