Probably a Lady Finger banana, they're great


Maybe the air-conditioning is drying out your sinus?


Very likely!


Not true in Australia


Again as the OP said, “ That’s only a problem in countries with poor network infrastructure”.

Australia is a victim of its geography. (Plus last I heard the National fiber backbone didn’t go as planned either). I’m would expect a high bandwidth wired backbone is required to support scaling up mobile data throughput.


Whilst Australia's NBN rollout was plagued with problems, in the end I would say it did go as planned - the design, as implemented, was intended to be crap. It was outdated when it was conceived, and could not possibly serve the country for the next thirty years as it claimed.


Still not true and I live in Western Europe. Data cap is 50GB for a 30€ plan. This is farcry from "unlimited data plan".


  "you either have a commit bit (enabling you to commit code to FreeBSD's repositories) or you don't. It's hard to find code reviews, and there generally isn't a fixed process ensuring that vitally important code gets reviewed prior to inclusion"
Doesn't sound very professional!


Oracle cloud is part of the HN bubble?

From what I gather AWS also offers AMD and ARM-based instances.

I don't see how it benefits the cloud providers not to offer these choices. No one benefits from a monopoly and they want to drive the cost of their services down.


Fear the unknown unknowns!


When both are running on the JVM, there still appears to be a significant performance difference, so it should be interesting to compare after the port...

I love this article and I think about it every time I see Assange in the news.

Ignoring whatever you think of his actions and the political ramifications, it paints a vivid picture of a deeply flawed human.


... And that picture is based completely on Assange being "autistic", "on the spectrum", "paranoid" and "narcissistic" - because he thinks his voice is important, that left wing media have been derelict in their duty and stabbed him in the back, and that powerful people are spying on him and want him assassinated.

That all of those things :are true: just doesn't factor in to O'Hagan's assessment, at all. He doesn't even begin to explore the possibility.

This speaks much more to O'Hagan's deep flaws than Assange's.


There is also the little problem of Assange believing that Leigh was part of a Jewish conspiracy against him—not the only time that his antisemitism has revealed itself.

I'm not seeing where your link makes any such claim.

It quotes Assange as saying ‘forget the Jewish thing’, after he allegedly pointed out that a number of people :shown to have lied about him: were Jewish.

BTW, 'The JC' were very big on the claim that Corbyn is an anti-semite, while effusive in their praise for Boris Johnson... Sorry but that's proper batty.

I had a look at their US news page, and while they had a front-page story about a BUDDHIST swastika necklace, the :forced sterilisation: scandal seems to have passed them by.

And if there's anything in their news about this trial and it's irregularities, and the significance to journalism, I haven't found it.

You might not want to take them too seriously.


I’m not taking “them” seriously. What they report is factual—I’ve seen the quote by Assange repeated elsewhere. It‘s just a convenient reference. So most of your remarks smack of the ad-hominem. If someone says “A and B and C are acting against me—and they’re all Jewish,” that sounds to me like an antisemite complaining about a Jewish conspiracy against him. You are welcome to interpret it differently. Perhaps you find such rantings perfectly normal. But my interpretation is at least somewhat reinforced by some other comments made by Assange, complaining about Jewish journalists.


Sounds like a retirement village!


Look at the platform demographics and the target audience. For example if you're targeting developers, the market share increases significantly!
