The fact that my perfectly valid comment was down voted like this shows that HN has a pretty dysfunctional community. I think that is my last comment here ;)

I appreciate the article, but it would be really nice if the author could add a timestamp to his blog posts. Without timestamps, it's impossible to know if any issue described in the article body still exists. I didn't read it, be

I wait for the day that chess will be banned in USA, or some fork of chess will emerge, because obviously chess is racist: white is always first.

Using scalac is not a standard use case. Standard use case is to use sbt (well, or mill, since we're in lihaoyi's thread :D). Sbt starts up slow, but with bloop, or sbtn (native client of sbt), the compilation is really fast (much

Wayland doesn't even work for me, so I guess I don't have such problems. I'm not really into the actual arguments between NVidia and Wayland folks, but I suspect it's something like "they don't want to bow to u

Generally I agree with the article, but it would be nice for the author to enable dark mode of the website for dark mode users :) (it's possible in CSS to detect if the user is using dark mode, and adjust the colors automatically)

I think this blog post should be taken down or at least mostly censored, because it promotes depression. I don't want to see posts like that on the internet. Children can stumble upon it and find links to nazi content.

Great news, I feel much safer now. Now I'm waiting for EU to completely ban computers, this way I will never be attacked by anyone online. But seriously, if anyone had doubts what GDPR will achieve, I think this person is pretty naive.
