Oh please it isn't that hard. Mildly annoying maybe but you can't possibly be that "handicapped" by it. If you're using all that crap and "fought the clipboard unification battle" then you're a bigger

You don't need to master vim as some other commenters seem to think. I've been using vim for 10+ years, but have relatively little of the manual committed to memory. You can learn enough to be productive in a day. The muscle memor

There are numerous rights and exceptions. Which exceptions apply vary by country and I can't speak for all countries, but virtually nothing in copyright law is strictly without exception. Unsurprisingly there's no shortage of peop

Yes a standard agreement such as that is expected and customary, and they have it for good reasons. However it is not strictly required in order to make use of user-submitted content. Also as I have pointed out in other comments, this is a

That is a contract, not a license. Or more accurately it's a contract with a copyright license embedded within its terms. This is an agreement with github to grant it an explicit license. Implied license is an implicit license. It may

> No. Thats like saying the very act of sharing pictures online implies you want someone else to use them, or that printing your book and selling it somehow implies you want the world to copy it. Please explain how you are viewing this u

Wrong. If the work were unpublished however then that would be a very different situation.

Funny they specifically point to Gentoo. Gentoo, organizations hosting mirrors, and users are probably least likely of all to be affected by such a situation (binhosts aside) as gentoo only distributes the verbatim source for which the uplo

I see. Yeah pretty terrible.

Boss would have to have really stepped way over the line to cross the "ignore" threshold. If I were not in a position to do anything about it I'd ideally be looking for another job before reaching that point. If you're s

Sure I have no qualms about disregarding common practice in certain domains, but it doesn't matter. I don't invent rules that impose unreasonable expectations on others. My expectations are extremely minimal, in contrast with the

It might have something to do with the high fidelity voice calling having a reasonably large bandwidth that you could theoretically use as a data channel - many times larger than an old v.92 modem. Maybe that's not so relevant these da

Yes. Email is generally best-effort response and people need to be understanding. It's not even always the best tool for the job. UNLESS dealing with email is your primary job responsibility. Then I would fully expect you to have your

I'm speaking specifically to and from the perspective of what I expect to be the majority of HN readership - those deeply involved with matters concerning the technology space. So no, what I said isn't applicable to the wider read

Yes. Email on the internet is still best-effort delivery after all. If someone suspects an email somehow didn't get delivered that's a whole different situation. Whether or not a response is expected depends on whether the respond

As I understand it the actual low-level database interface may be a shared library mechanism in either case. At least, for a local database I'm pretty sure that's a function of the connection type. You're still dlopen()-ing a

Agreed. Performance comparison is interesting in a synthetic benchmark context but the premise of the title isn't that.

by ormaaj 4y ago
This is totally uncomplicated. The choice of database is a function of your application and its architecture, not a matter of all-things-equal performance comparison. "I want an extensible versitile database platform for use as a compo

You do know an ORM is a thing that is used with a database rite? Perhaps you actually meant "don't use a relational database". Either way, LOL

It is _your_ responsibility to configure your mail filters and use your tools to organize your workflow in such a way that you do not miss important emails. Your failure to do so is your own failure. If you fail to see my email because you
