Thanks for noting this. We are so accustomed to reading comments as of a point in time, but their meaning is also impacted by when they are made. In this case, a future historian may draw a different conclusion had they not seen your clarifying post. Whereas now it confirms that the community viewed it as a good thing, and HN also agreed steadfastly.
I just bought a Lenovo laptop and wiped Windows off it / installed Linux for the first time.
As largely a newcomer to Linux, it was very smooth. Had some issues getting the wifi to work, but once that got resolved, everything has been super smooth. I must admit there is a bit of a learning curve, i didn’t fully appreciate the differences between the various distributions.
Shame that an indie company who is actively selling linux machines, can’t have them working off the bat. That’s unacceptable
cons is a recursive data structure. it’s not discussed much here in the comments, but a lot of its useability comes from that fact - you can write elegant recursive algorithms with cons as your data structure
with vectors that doesn’t work UNLESS you add a bit of overhead (which most optimising programs may do since for many cases vectors can be more performant)
Yes it’s good to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism and I could (more than likely) be equally wrong, but I hope my comment encouraged others not to take comments online at face value always.
For what it’s worth, I signed up to fast mail yesterday, onboarding vs my cloudflare managed domain was a breeze and so far no issues (it’s email hosting (and their iOS app isn’t great), so there’s not much to get excited about on a day to day basis - apart from a long term appreciation of privacy first email).
I have just started using the Spark Mail App - now that I am excited about…if it lives up to its hype, it will be a great addition to my workflow.
I think he/she misread but one could argue what you wrote is anti-DEI in terms of those who don’t have kids, etc but I can’t imagine anybody proving it.
FWIW your approach is the most sound one I read on this thread and how most successful companies probably do it. I do feel it is slightly discriminatory though against those with un ordinary paths
That’s crazy to hear! It really feels like the wild Wild West with these large tech companies - consider in contrast how much regulatory and compliance scrutiny a bank would have, they would never dream to behave like petulant little kids. I guess the more fines big tech get and the more regulations enter the space, the faster they will clean up their act.
Unfortunately on the internet the onus is on the defendant to prove innocence. I hardly buy the top comment as true but everyone eats it up here since it goes with their narrative
