> The success of the new method “opens the door for researchers to do this all over the world,” says Sutherland. Specifically, insight from the research at LeConte Glacier in Alaska could be used to study glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica. “Submarine melting may matter everywhere,” says Enderlin.
Microsoft is not in the clear yet. They will be after Windows uses the Linux kernel, and Microsoft uses Rust. I'd give it ten more years and reevaluate.
Or just open sources theirs, but yeah I generally agree.
> and Microsoft uses Rust
Hold on. That'd be cool and all but they've already released 2-3 open source languages. Pretending that the use of the language de jour would be anywhere near the list of things that redeem MS feels shortsighted.
Why does this title presuppose that people with CS degrees can't also be self-taught? A degree is a piece of paper that employers need; it has little to do with learning anything useful.
Why do you feel you have a right to read this article? WSJ has paid someone to write it and for the infrastructure to deliver it to you (and technically, for the bandwidth as well - however negligible, there is a real financial cost associated with delivering the content to your computer that does add up). Either pay up or leave, but don't complain that you don't get it for free.
Attacking a fellow user like that will get you banned here, regardless of how provocative their comment was or feels.
Also, complaints about paywalls are off topic, so please don't post them: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989. Yes, the paywalls suck, but these complaint threads are all the same. Readers don't come here for repetition, but to avoid it.
Why do you allow paywalls though if people can't even read them? It's stupid. Just disallow the paywalled domains from being posted. It's not rocket science. If you think you actually have any control, do it.
The reason we don't disallow all paywalls, but only the ones that have no workaround, is that HN would be much worse off without stories from the NYT, WSJ, Economist, New Yorker, and many others. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
All I wanted via my original comment in this thread is the workaround. People like others and you offer a lot of advice, but not the workaround I sought. I don't want to have to read ten pages to find the workaround either.
I effectively did ask for it. You're no less useless than the other person. I recommend you stop wasting people's time on this board, and learn to be helpful when help is asked.
"How am I supposed to read this paywalled article? I'm not paying for it." read like a complaint to me, rather than a question. Now that you say that, though, it's clear that I could have read it the other way.
I'm a moderator here, so it's my job to make sure the community follows the site guidelines. That includes not posting personal attacks, which you just did again. If you keep doing that we're going to have to ban you. Would you please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use this site as intended?
I'm not asking you to leave HN, I was suggesting you leave the WSJ website. And I didn't realize you were complaining about it being on HN (which I agree with) - I thought you were complaining about the fact the article was paywalled to begin with, my mistake.
