This is really the only viable way to support FOSS. Considering the amount of money some people make in tech, they should allocate a % of that to donating to open source projects each year. But no, nothing’s going to change the way we live

I could keep throwing money into my stock portfolio, did I make it better, or worse? The only metric that matters here is ROI. Did YC increases its ROI and produce a higher percentage of successful startups during Sam Altman’s time? This is

Don’t these cases come up all the time and nothing ever comes from it? Also, it’s hard to see sellers as getting ripped off when the buyers agent fee is factored into the price. If there was no fee included you would expect to see a drop in

I don't think about those people, here's why: 1) No one is entitled to a career in cybersecurity or reverse engineering, no matter how poor or sad your origin story is. 2) There are always lucrative opportunities in this world tha

If you are using these tools you are either defending systems from threats or breaking into systems and making money through illegal activities. There is not really any other useful work you can do with these tools. I don’t see how the pers

IDA Pro is not expensive at all for serious professionals in the field. Other common software in the industry costs way more. Nessus is $2k a year, Metasploit like $1500 to $15000, and Core Impact is $30k and up. If this is expensive to you

God forbid anyone make a profit? I’m not sure what your point is, prices are set by what the market is willing to pay. Anything else is not sustainable. You are not entitled to buy houses wherever you want for whatever price you think is go

Not sure how I'd feel about someone writing a piece of code in response to the death of their young child. Equally terrifying.

I don't think this discussion will be as interesting as people think. When a game or piece of software you write is shit, you know it's shit, unless you are completely delusional. Thus once it's actually released you'll

Why build more housing if people will continue to happily pay these prices to live here? The goal isn't to cram as many people as possible in a single pcity.

Can I ask what your back problems are and how they started? Were they from doing the squats and deadlifts themselves or other injuries? I see plenty of people past their 40s still doing squats and deadlifts so it's not like there is a

Alcohol should never be used for stress, only for social lubrication. There's better ways to deal with stress. Pump iron, or go for a run. 30-60 minutes of running should give you a reset.

Not unfortunate. The only fitting end for people like this is to be taken down by the very mobs they created. There have always been clear warnings about why mob justice is bad, but some people just cannot resist its allure: The fame, the r

Like many I always thought I wouldn't buy a diamond, I saw no reason to buy what was basically just a rock (to me), but when I proposed to my girlfriend, since the ring didn't have a diamond, she said no.

What is the point of these opinion pieces? Why should we care about what someone at New York Times says over any other person? These kind of articles must be made simply to drive traffic and stimulate rage. It will be interpreted as just an

It is the opposite. The more SQL you use the less you will want to use ORMs. Many ORMs are basically a black box and you're never really sure if they are doing exactly what you want to do or adding some unnecessary crap, especially if

Don't listen much to this guy. Full stack developers aren't doomed to fail, the only thing that happened here is that this guy failed miserably. He failed because he focused on the wrong things. If you want to be a full stack de

Does it matter? By the time there’s two major android updates there will be a newer and better version of these devices to upgrade to. Let’s not kid ourselves, phones aren’t “buy it for life”.

I’m amazed this guy is still alive. Can anyone explain what is supposed to happen if you were very close to something this radioactive? Would you get some kind of massive headache or feel any pain? Are radiation hardened organisms a thing?

This has always bothered me, I want everyone to see colors the same way so we can all have the same internal experience. However, I have rationalized away this theory with a thought experiment. Imagine someone messed with your brain and rem

These things never work out well. Picking out options for an app the same way you'd pick options for an automobile implies the work is fairly well siloed and commoditized. So it should be cheap and fast, but then the price and timeline
