I guess that there are "content creators" who are not interested by video or click-bait as well as those "content consumers" who are looking for geniously interesting content written in a concise and clear way. Substack seems a good site for this but in general it seems to me that this is sth that is missing in today's internet.

can someone please explain to me why is this a HN front page material? this seems to be a long abandoned project

i am laughing and crying at the same time...

a couple of decades ago, I was still a lowly applied mathematics (and aspiring programmer) student when i proposed to a professor to change the compiler options from O2 to O3 to gain performance (reducing run time by a significant percentage like 50% or more...) only to be disregarded by saying "no, compiler optimizations break numerical accuracy".

so let me get this straight, do they like free markets or not ?

Supporting is on thing, being build on top of it is another thing. And on top of that, AFAIK on bluesky there is no "algorithm"

Again, I very much agree with you, very sound advice. The reason I stick with merlin/Asus is that I do not want to spend too much time, I want to buy sth, configure/deploy/forget.

You are right, these are what matter and thanks for the suggestions.

I am not particularly on a budget but I don't either require wifi7, I am not willing to pay 3* more than I should. I am lazy and searching for something that is supported by merlin and I will look into the used market as well.

Are you sure you are not mistaken with used ones?

The question is why are they able to inflate the prices like this and get away with ?

i love this blog, i hold Chris Wellons to a very high estime BUT i utterly disapprove the usage of macros so much, especially to wrap cstd types, functions, etc.

a manual transmission car does not require more focus and thought as very soon changing gears becomes a reflex, ie it doesn't require the driver's prefrontal cortex. The same can not be said for repetitive work in programming (eg as in programming in assembly or C)

IMO, this opinion deserves some thought even though it is not as bad as it sounds

The author very clearly and explicitely says in the post that this is "purely to help us think".

I still have my first linux cd somewhere.

They came together with the `SAMS RedHat Linux 7.0 Unleased` book I bought as I did not want to go through the same pain I went with my 33600 pstn downloading slackware 7's cd#1 in 14 days.

Cheers RedHat :)
