note that you can also use the x220 keyboard in the x230. x220 keyboards are a bit hard to source for a good price, though.

and even if you don't, using a slow machine is still not a great experience. Opening a shell, reloading a page, switching tabs, running git pull, decompressing an archive, linting, building etc. All these things will take noticably lon

I use a x230 with the biggest battery. It's decently thick/heavy compared to the modern ultra-slim laptops, but it's compact, fast enough and it set me back barely over 300€ total and the battery lasts 9+ hours. It sounds lik

I'm curious, I saw this talked about a lot approximately 5 years ago. I'd have expected this to be relatively standard by now, but it appears not. Does anyone know why this happened?

Is it? Can you link to any cases of this?

For small private chats on your phone, not a lot, but because of a number of decisions, it does not work very well with large IRC-style rooms full of people you might not know.

I think you are missing the point. What I think GP was saying is it's sad that the only way to fund grand projects seems to be making them useful for killing other people.

I'm surprised it's done this way... I'd expect that it just doesn't generate the mines until the first click.

I don't think this is accurate. If you look at other comments here, you will see some of them criticizing free and open source software and being highly upvoted.

Note: you are likely being downvoted not for what you said, but for saying you will get downvoted. It's a frequent enough thing that it gets mentioned in the HN guidelines, last I checked.

If I remember correctly, they are suing on a number of technicalities to delay it as far as possible?

the 34c3 talk "social bots, fake news and filterbubbles" comes to mind (unfortunately originally in German) The tl;dw of this is that when defining "bots", most researchers used very misleading metrics e.g. ">20

Because any attacker in the middle can purposefully make the https connection fail, thereby causing all data to be sent in the clear. HSTS and hsts preload makes sure that this can not happen.

Yes, it's even included in the Riot UI. Note that unlike IRC, where bots or users must be on the same server rooms are completely independent of any single homeserver. There's nothing that says a room belongs to a certain homeserv

I'm kind of derailing here, but I strongly disagree about the Blender UX being horrible. After getting used to it, I find it one of the most usable pro tools. The command-based approach is IMO far superior than the usual approach of ha

I follow ~30 people, but have still turned off showing retweets for some. Some people just seem to treat it as a bigger like button.

Also I am told the proprietary nvidia drivers have a software lock that prevents you from using GPU passthrough unless you buy certain more expensive models.

I feel somewhat angry at this tweet. Not because the feature is gone but because they are daft enough to assume that they can sell this as an improvement to their users and anyone will believe it.

What makes you think that is what I think it means? I'm not a native speaker, perhaps I could improve that section a bit for future readers.

My understanding is that the "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" phrase is meant as a direct antithesis of the "liberal idea that there is no such thing as a systemic issue, it's just that the wrong people

As far as I can tell (and from asking the developers), this is simply caused by the matrix.org servers being overloaded. Other homeservers don't seem to have this issue.

From my understanding, this should be possible by setting the sys.settrace hook. It would slow down every function call, but I'm surprised it looks like nobody has done it yet.

Similar measures have been implemented in a number of european countries for years, I think originally in France. As far as I am aware, GDPR only standardises these laws and applies them to all EU states. Plus it adds a fine large enough fo
