I'm not certain we need to make this accessible to "the next billion". We like to dress up these actions in virtue but the truth is we hook people up because it's a business. Facebook devastated our social fabric. I don&

I also love my Synology DS-218+. I'm hosting my own Spotify (Airsonic [1]); music tagged to perfection with Beets [2]), an IRC bouncer because Matrix is still not ready, my own Netflix (Synology's Video Station [3]), and my own ma

This was the Buddha's own thinking when he established his order of monks. Sadly, it has not weathered the last couple thousand years in such grace, as many East Asian Buddhist monasteries have become thoroughly corrupt, with monks mis

Has anyone called dang's attention to this? Hacker News should be in support of a free and open web, not a gated one. Allowing such links is implicit approval.

This is deeply upsetting to me because I have continually pushed Firefox to friends and family as the only alternative to Google's strongarm dominance of our virtual lives. I have no other alternative to recommend my social circle and

Why didn’t anyone ask the residents if they wanted a megacorporation to move into their neighborhoods? Amazon insisted on absolute secrecy moving forward and elected officials went right along with it. Queens residents are outraged by this

But does Light Table now without its original founders have any steam behind it? A glance at its GitHub tells me no.

A team spent years raising funds and developing first Light Table, then Eve, only to walk away with apologies. Why does this make me frustrated? Does the team owe those who pitched money into this (I wasn't one because I didn't kn

I agree! Check out https://delta.chat . I use it every day for emailing. Subject lines are the ellipsized first words of your body and every message is a new email.

I don't know why the article didn't mention the most prominent technical features of Pop!_OS that propels it beyond being a mere copycat. * HiDPI Daemon: They wrote this themselves and what it does is if you have mixed DPI monitor

I can confirm this isn't true. Danish/US dual-national right here. Denmark is fully aware of my US citizenship.

Delta Chat, which is free and open source (available in Android’s F-Droid repos) does conversational email better than anyone. Most of my emails are responded to because I don’t send a wall of text and the subject line is automatically form

There are so many WSJ links posted recently and all of them are behind a pay wall. Shouldn’t Hacker News links be shared in the spirit of open information?

I alternate throughout the day. You will need to if you are just starting out. Both postures encourage the lengthening of independent muscle groups. In this previous comment [1] I list a cushion and bench you may use for either style! [ 1]

It’s a P50! No kidding, I’ve struggled with the same my whole life. Got into Olympic lifting, saw chiropractors, osteopaths: moving to sit on the floor was the only thing that saved me. My Keybase is linked in my profile if you have any que

I’ve made this comment before but I’ll do it again because I honestly feel like the way Westerners approach this problem is deeply wrong. Look to the East my brethren! Get a kneeling bench or meditation cushion set, buy a bench from Ikea, p

These moral fiat statements are unhelpful to no one. You simply don’t know the context. In a very flat power structure or a very small company (2 to 3 employees) at the office, social dynamics change dramatically. Never mind that caffeine i

If I may rush to the commenter's rescue: Darch addresses your issues with NixOS by combining a familiar set of tools (Arch Linux) with stateless architecture. Its a fantastic welding of extreme package availability and best-in-class do

Except that Docker et al are already that compromised solution. No need to replicate. And for what it's worth, the #nixos community is one of the kindest, most helpful communities I've ever encountered. Stop by and ask your questi
