Lunduke has a long history of using negative clickbait titles (the Linux sucks series and HTTPS is bad) to gain views. I'm not surprised that he has somehow found a way to milk this controversy too!

Apparently, most people on Reddit and HN feel that Solus lost its momentum after Ikey left. The relatively conservative development Solus is seeing with Josh Strobl et al. isn't sexy enough!

As someone who has worked long hours to finish difficult homework assignments during my student years, it really annoys me when I get blank submissions corrupted by sites like corruptmyfile.com. Recently, a few colleagues have started gradi

What makes you feel that malicious apps are the only vector for these exploits. The web is open and iOS users can still download files on their devices. Let's disable file downloads altogether and limit people to an alternative "r

Just wanted to say Thanks for this amazing project! IlBeen using it for years now and for simple debugging and peeking into data files, nothing beats IPython in convenience!

Your comment brought me to the realization that the relationship doesn't hold both ways. A rational number can always be written as a fraction but a fraction is not always rational. Never considered this before today :)

A rational number (with a terminating decimal representation or a repeating, non-terminating decimal representation) can always be expressed in fractional p/q form. I don't think the additional "rational" qualifier is ne

In softer forms of treatment like talk therapy, the patient's agency is emphasized and encouraged by the pschologist. However, the prescription (and assessment of the suitability of) drugs and active substances should remain the domain

A good judgement in my view. Culling dogs isn't the right way to end this. Sterilize them and let them live their lives out. This is going to be the humane way of ending this menace that will also be culturally acceptable.

This is my personal opinion. We have been devouring each other for ages now. Entire cultures have vanished, destroyed by more powerful members of the same species. The entire history of our species has been on violent conflict where a stron

I see this headline as 63% of the world now uses the internet in some shape or form. Irrespective of whether they know this or not, any threats to this vast communication network will affect their lives in some shape or form. A large part o

This software only provides a means to batch and automate things you'd have to manually download through "save link as". It's not chasing a moving target like youtube-dl. It's quite useful where you have 50 PDFs on

The contributions of those assholes has been a massive factor in the success of the Linux/GNU ecosystem. I'd strongly urge potential contributors to speak with the real people behind the project rather than blindly trust the advic

I'd much rather have the ability to fix a device myself than be locked into a vendor controlled repair solution. I've been able to extend the life of many devices I've had (the earliest from 2010) through repairs like dust re

The Bhagavid Gita attempts to define a person's response to a life event by decomposing it into "dharma" and "karma". Dharma is external and is specified by a person's birth, caste, etc. (essentially societal f

I think it is unfair to label a platform with a two hundred dollar entry barrier as an equalizer. VoIP and allied technologies are the real enablers and ad-supported platforms like WhatsApp et al. have been true equalizers by allowing anyo

I'd be wary of calling it a tax. As you pointed out it's an amount large enough to warr off spurious medical needs and small enough that if you're really injured or suffering, it can be extremely helpful and is a miniscule pa

Immigrants are a punishment? They pay taxes, respect the laws of the land and come here with proper documentation. Not even a shred of this decency was afforded to them in the colonial days. Please take your xenophobic nonsense elsewhere.

While the article confirms his acceptance of his circumstances, I still find it hard to understand how a man who went into a prison at 15 and came out at 83 can see anything as positive. An entire life spent behind bars. Maybe he really tap
