tosihakkeri··on Tor’s shadowy reputation will only end if we all use it
How is cash helping with this? Should we start storing the notes under our mattresses or? Sorry I’m not sure I understand your point.

Germans have a certain paranoia. I understand where it comes from but how are you ever going to move on if you hold these beliefs so tightly?

Maybe not just designing the interfaces but their boundaries?
tosihakkeri··on What's wrong with enterprise Linux
> I think we need a fully open source alternative to RHEL not bound to any company

I believe the problem is not that there wouldn’t be open source alternatives but that that’s not what enterprise wants. Enterprise wants a company behind the distribution.

tosihakkeri··on Ask HN: Is anyone else getting AI fatigue?
This is something any crypto-bro would have told you in 2017.
tosihakkeri··on We need less powerful languages (2015)
Well, that “not so great language” is very much an opinion.

> Golang until recently

But some of the most powerful cloud tooling out there was and is written in Go, and not just recently.

I think Go is a perfect example of the simplicity that can make some very complex software happen.

tosihakkeri··on The number of banks willing to do business with the crypto industry is shrinking
That’s the problem: the problems Bitcoin is solving aren’t problems in the first place.
tosihakkeri··on Ask HN: Is there academic research on software fragility?
What if some problems simply are complex? How do you reduce the number of blocks then?

Don’t you people have anything better to do?
tosihakkeri··on A simple but deep theory about drugs and postmodernity
Is it just me but I can't take this very seriously when the author talks with such a broad terms as "drugs" and "getting high". I really don't see much value of labeling all the mind altering substances as "drugs" or every occasion and motivation of consuming them as just "getting high".

It's like the author is at the same time high but had never used or seen anyone using drugs.

tosihakkeri··on From Node to Ruby on Rails
Certainly interesting but I fail to understand what's the big benefit? Also I would be afraid to have some corner cases that would need to be covered with JS, and that could get really ugly.
tosihakkeri··on From Node to Ruby on Rails
I think requirements have generally shifted quite bit from what plain html can do, if that's what you mean with "hypermedia". Though true, there's probably a growing understanding that one doesn't need React on every website. So maybe it'll rather be more refined understanding of when to use certain technologies.
tosihakkeri··on Fedora 35
Honestly I don't think one really needs such. Nowadays Linux distros are very similar, only thing I could imagine would be a translator for package managers.
tosihakkeri··on Fedora 35
> Linux on laptops is a nightmare, often even on the hardware that "supports" it.

That's just not true. Try a ThinkPad with Fedora and you'll see.

Based on what you just wrote, it sounds to me that you might be assuming the wrong abstraction yourself.
