But unless you're investing other people's money, you are a small fish in the sea. Like, if all you have is 200k then none of your decisions being public would affect you in a negative way. Admittedly, I don't know much about

I know some people are going to complain as with every redesign. But I really like how clean and uncluttered this feels. Lighter blue color, less bold text, dense side panel, misaligned repository header. Ok, it's not really uncluttere

It's funny how carefully you're stepping around financially rewarding people who do the work. It's like you know your status does not allow you to own the money generated, so you're settling for owning the results, the p

There is also https://git.sr.ht/~mcf/cproc inspired by several other small C compilers including 8cc, c, lacc, and scc. I did not take a deep look at it yet, but it looks interesting.

I'd like to go a little meta. If you really want to do it, then stop looking for a reason to do it. Because any piece of text containing the answer is probably going to fit in a few HN comments, because that's what you're c

You misunderstand me. What if I'm the monopoly who wants to jack up prices and extort? I. Me. And a few select people working for me who I reward, plus a bunch of nameless employees who I don't care about. But primarily me. Then t

I see what you're saying. But I'm curious what the future you described will actually look like. I am NOT curious in the least about the good old days. I know it, it's boring to me. Having privacy and total control over your

These companies provide political value. I think of them as black boxes that don't really do anything to its input but give political weight to the arbitrary claim associated with the input. Want to cover your fuckup on a project? Hire

I wanted to try it out just for 5 minutes, but alas, I'm on Arch Linux and can't compile. GNU Make complains about dots in the Makefile (things like .include and .if) and there are probably more issues like BSD specific .include &

I heard some people say screw these CMake, Autotools, Makefiles, Ninjas, mesons, etc. Compilation of even big projects takes seconds. Just use a batch file on Windows and shell script on Linux. It was Casey Muratori on his Handmade Hero str

Google has more potential to harm. Imagine if they come up with a technology to replace HTTP and HTML, so that you can't modify web pages you visit. You open up a website and it's like you're looking at a video stream of it,

Now that I think about it more, I think you're right. Huawei is not good. I remember about two months ago there was a github repository https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU made by Chinese programmers in protest of 9

I don't get the hate against Huawei. Not that I've seen much of it. Google are not the good guys overall, neither is Huawei. The two companies do good things and bad. I've recently watched a talk by Jonathan Corbet on Linux K

Correct, but I'd like to point out that responsibility does not imply consequences. If the higher-ups mess up they can blame it on those below them. Usually it is done in an indirect way by setting expectations . For a lot of people,
