So what.

Theory and practice are different things.

It was GW Bush winning the election that allowed Microsoft to a settlement.


... for those who think that Trump is an outlier. No, just a slight acceleration to a very much established trend.


People used to joke that W was the bottom of the barrel, then the GOP did a hold my beer and dug a little deeper.


Crazy to think that, despite trump existing, the Democrats still lost two elections to him.


Well they had their chance for "change" with Obama, just like the french PS had their chance for "changement" with Hollande. And both betrayed their electoral base and honest people by empowering multinational corporations against consumers and small businesses. Who could have predicted that noone would want to elect them again?


Please. If you’re an adult and you still believe anything any politician ever says, then you may still have some growing up to do.

Left. Right. Up. Down. Doesn’t matter. A politicians job description nowadays boils down to doing everything in their power benefit themselves and their partners and to hell with you unimportant people if it bothers you any.


If the democrats were serious about winning they would be putting forward candidates that actually have a chance of being popular

Hillary and Kamala were just really bad choices

Yeah and how was it done? Why did all (60?) of the trump campaigns lawsuits get thrown out due to lack of evidence?

Why did the democrats just simply forget to do it again?

How many hoops will you have to jump through to answer these questions?


What is to which thou art referring?


Crazy to think there were no GOP presidents between Bush and Trump. I first interpreted this as the new record low is lower than the old record low. But no, Trump was the very next one.


Kid Rock is probably next, or worse.


The Postal Service is one of the few entities directly authorized by the US Constitution. From Article 1, Section 8:

> The Congress shall have Power… To establish Post Offices and post Roads

With that one of the hallmarks of the USPS is they really strive to service every person in the country no matter how remote.

The fact they’ve turned it into a “business” and not a public good is really a tragedy.


This court doesn’t care about precedent.


And Google will exit at 12 months when the S&P seasoning period and 4 quarters of profitability are satisfied.


This is exactly how the dot com crash happened. People point out this like pets.com, but that wasn’t the issue. It was the musical chairs the played with the fiber telecoms. Today it’s data centers.


That icon is a "close Carplay/Auto" button. My Subaru has a Subaru button; my wife's Mazda has a Mazda button.


USDS and 18F proved that strong, internal technical leadership and dedicated teams make this work.


All our bookkeeping is now in YAML. Watch the spaces on your way out the door.


Learning nixos had been a lot of fun for me.

Your comment unironically is something I prefer and one of my biggest pain points with Linux.

As a newb, I'm sure there's something called with a mycommonproblemd name that has a stateful interface. But sometimes that all adds up to make things feel complex. And it let's me make stupid mistakes, like I forgot to close or open a port on firewalld, or I disabled a container but forgot to commit a change to my systemd units.

It's nice to just have a nice file called myservice.nix that tracks the firewall port, name, systemd startup and update scripts.


And don’t forget to quote your port assignments and version strings.


Hacker News loves to make snarky comments about everything to do with K8s and YAML all the time, and yet in my experience the amount of times an issue was caused by actual YAML can be counted on one hand.

Way more often it’s developers who can’t figure out that their http library only supports 2 concurrent connections, or emit garbage/malformed log lines and then bitch that they can’t see their app logs because we dropped them, or can’t be fucked to do “kubectl describe” in their own developer namespace that they have full permission for.

If you truly experience issues with just using YAML then you need to skill up probably.


Most of the issues with YAML are really issues with people who think that since "configuration as code" is good, that "code as configuration" must also be good.

Very far from pro-energy when you give companies money to cancel energy projects that are not burning green house gases.
