Yes, I would consider HN as social media/networking site

Is there a name for oft-repeating content/post and the overall discussion on a given topic (dotfile management in this case) on HN?

I am not complaining about the repeat. It’s just that I find it very amusing to see different people kinda-sorta reinventing the wheel (and discussing the nuts and bolts) again.

We’re just looking at the manifestation of one of the hardest problems in software engineering - naming things.

There’s no one good answer. Instead we must design our system to be “soft” i.e. malleable - able to evolve as the world evolves.

Note that the design of the experiment needs to be able to disprove theory. That is to say if the results don’t match calculations then their theory is falsified and we make progress.

All of these incidents remind me of episodes from House MD. I swear they made one on this Antartica where House did a “zoom call”.

The airplane guy had more complications than ruptured lung but apparently he had just came out of scuba diving into the plane.

I don’t understand how an anti-proton can orbit a nucleus without annihilating into pure energy with a proton from the nucleus.

What am I missing here?

Honestly speaking I am really amazed by these researchers ability to separate and then “shove” an anti-proton in a Helium gas.

Don’t forget to commit your changes if you’re going to `reset --hard` later!

PoE is probably Power over Ethernet. With that you don’t have to worry about laying down electrical line to power the APs. The APs draw power from the Ethernet line itself
