   I know the intended purpose of this sentence is that it shocks, but I'm not sure I'm in a position to evaluate "5 Hiroshima bombs" any more clearly than if it were presented as a metric (joules in this case) I seldom use

   Do people claim this? From my limited understanding, it seems like the IP environment is rife with problems in the US and abroad (e.g. copyright trolls). That said, it can be simultaneously true that there are problems in these countries b

   If you want to shock your colleagues into action, one effective way is to plug their email addresses into haveibeenpwned, and tell them: > Alice, YOU were exposed in the XYZ breach. Your $identifiable_information IS publicly availabl

   My mother was very much like this. When she retired, she found it quite hard to re-adjust. Fortunately she has a few hobbies to fall back on. Personally, I find it quite a hard balance to get right. On the one hand, tying your identity whol

   I'm not sure I fully understand. What do you mean by step 2? If I entered "myemaıl@example.com" into the reset field, are you saying that step 2 would be the process of doing some normalization to try to find a matching acc

    This sounds like a bit of a shakedown, and I'm not in marketing, but can someone confirm what I heard at last my last company - is it true that should at least pay less than anyone to advertise against "Basecamp", because t

    Sorry to hear this, and hope that you're starting to do better. Glad to hear that it sounds like there are folks in your life to support you.

    This! I've been backing up my Ubuntu machine using DejaDup (built in Ubuntu backups), only to realise - when my machine died - that they don't work. This was stupid on my part.

    I have "resist fingerprinting" set on Firefox, but it doesn't seem to do much good. Any suggestions other than to entirely turn off JS, which to me seems akin to not using the majority of the web?

    You'd hope so, but I'm not quite so optimistic - given that the business model of the internet seems to rely entirely on ads, and a notion that the better you're understood, the better you can be targeted. The thing which rea

    Interesting read, but I still think the sentence in the article which most resonates with me is: > Buying without plastic is a privilege. It’s the pricier goods that are plastic free. Perhaps people still need to lead the way by first bu

    Thanks for actually pointing this out, when I read the article I thought I'd seen the exact same concept bike in a Global Cycling Network (GCN) video last year. Makes sense.

    Yeh, I acknowledge it's a difficult problem to solve, but I think if you have messaging at all, it should probably be a lot clearer, and link to some kind of article explaining the situation (which could cover the legitimate use cases

    You mean "stability and security will suffer"? Sorry I didn't exclude it to try to make my point more convincingly, I just missed it altogether. Assuming that's the part you meant, do you really think that is sufficient

    Someone gets nefariously MITM'd and instead of giving the user an informative message, they're presented with something which means nothing to the lay-person.

    Very interesting article, although if the message displayed to the end-user really was left at "You are using an unsupported environment variable: SSLKEYLOGFILE..." that would be truly awful UX with some potentially disastrous con

    I'm guessing that almost every user of HN believes the opinion stated in the article is ignorant / stupid / misguided. I also believe that it's ignorant on so many levels, and whilst I particularly take issue with the &q

    Thanks to Dan and Scott for their moderation, and whilst the article highlights some of negative aspects of discussion on HN, I for one keep coming here because it's still on average the most reasoned and thought provoking part of the

    Yes, it appears so. From MDN: > The flatMap() method first maps each element using a mapping function, then flattens the result into a new array. It is identical to a map() followed by a flat() of depth 1, but flatMap() is often quite us

    Nice idea! I'm actually in the process of automating a task bit by bit. Unfortunately it's with the intention of moving it into a CI pipeline, so the "success" there is rather binary, but I will most definitely adopt thi

    Yep, Spotify I use every day on Linux and it does work fine, but it's not quite as easy to install (though this is the best it gets on my list). VPN support would be fine wrt OpenVPN, but I'm using NordVPN. To be fair I just c

    I run Windows on my personal laptop - not because I love it, but because it certainly used to have a huge strong-hold on media and games apps, which I wanted a way of consuming. I no longer game, but as I understand it, support for Linux
