I've been using opam and dune for a few years now and they haven't annoyed me much since I got used to how to set up projects. What are the issues with them?

We have to do something. This is something. Therefore, we have to do this.

Thanks for explaining it so well. I was thinking that simply losing the bank was enough in this case, but you make a very good point, and this kind of insight is what's good about this site.

It seems like there are circumstances that make it reasonable, though. And this isn't wage theft. This is where through no fault of the company, their bank closed down and their money is no longer theirs. It is in no way reasonable to make the company owners destitute over two weeks of pay. The corporate veil should remain here.

You're asking someone for a source for their opinion, instead of understanding what an opinion is?

"which explains their attacks" implies "they only attack brave because they know it's objectively better than other browsers".

Bullshit, it's not spyware. It seems it's no longer possible to discuss it here without the trolls coming out.

Whatever.

The GitHub repo I posted has sane defaults for both Chromium based browsers (adapt the environment variable for the custom fork, you have it at /usr/bin/chrom file) and Mozilla under *Nix. If something "clean" as Mozilla has a good chunk to be tweaked, just imagine the amount of telemetry Brave has.

I lived the 90's and 00's in computing. I pretty surely know the spyware and adware terms. And Brave it's spyware, period.

How is the ECC support deficient on later CPUs? I checked the docs, it does seem to be supported on the 7000x series.

The CPU is alright, but the motherboards are lacking. You can install ECC memory modules on them and the system will boot, but you don't know for sure if ECC is really working unless the motherboard reports memory status like how many errors were correct.

I sure would love it if they came up with a way to block those "intent to leave" popups too.

GeorgeWBasic · on Nov 5, 2022

Thank you for that. That's a concept I remembered reading about, but I couldn't remember the name and had no way to find it again.

trout.me.uk/lisp/ and trout.me.uk/gc/ are both basically archives of "stuff I knew I'd suffer that problem with" and it's a pleasure every time the contents come in handy for people who aren't me.

Also back when I was still pretending to be a mathematician I used both GWBASIC and UBASIC for assorted purposes so thank -you- for the nostalgia kick.

I don't see how it isn't fraud to claim that.

did you read the blog post though? :)

Kevin Hale at Wufoo (YC W06) did contract work for a month instead of interviews. Is that not "give candidates real work & pay them for their time"?

Thomas paid every engineer who did a 'Ride Along' (a day on the job with the Cloudthread team) regardless of his final hiring decision, and he did it with a bunch of folks.

Elliot paid every PR he received for his screening bounties on Algora regardless of his final hiring decision.

I think the title for the blog post checks out.
