I only found this post because I decided to check HN after getting HTTP 500 errors pulling some repos.

People don't hate them for trying new things, they hate them for making the new things the only option.

> That said ... putting part of your soul into machine format so you can put it on on the big shared machine using your personal machine and expecting that only other really truly quintessentially proper personal machines receive it and those soulless other machines don't ... is strange.

That's a mischaracterization of most people want. When I put out a bowl of candy for Halloween I'm fine with EVERYONE taking some candy. But these companies are the equivalent of the asshole that dumps the whole bowl into their bag.

I'm still surprised by how much inertia there is for Ghostery.

People should have stopped using that extension nearly a decade ago after being sold to an advertising company.

Or after they went closed-source.

Or after they were caught selling user info about blocked ads back to the advertisers so they could figure out how to avoid being blocked.

Or after they started showing their own advertisements to users.

In that example foo is the important aspect, so it should be the leading element:

  foo
  fooModified

Good to know. I think this should probably be it's own post

Not only that, but zig makes linking against old glibc versions easy. For example, to make an x86_64 linux build linked against glibc 2.9 when using zig build all you have to do is pass:

  -Dtarget=x86_64-linux-gnu.2.9

This is probably going to be Reddit's Digg moment for me. The sad thing is there isn't really a suitable replacement available. HN is the closest experience to early Reddit and I wouldn't be surprised if the site's traffic ramps up noticeably over the next couple months.

I never said you shouldn't? I was only backing up the other commentor's claim since many people might think he's being hyperbolic rather than them overtly spelling it out on their site.
