Newfoundland has no shortage of stinky fishing villages, but I've been to this one and my god man . I've talked to fishermen from the area who are put off by it. It's been sitting a LOOOONG time and there's a LOT of it.

Newfoundlander here checking in! Nope. She just sounds like that. Another comment mentioned it seems to be a CBC/traditional news thing. A bunch of them sound that way. The "accent" here is starting to fade out of the younger

Paperclip has worked fine in my experience. I've got a bunch of these and the stock antenna really is just awful.

For some people it's less eye straining if they're reading at night, doesn't help for me personally, but it's a popular feature

GDPR compliance, if you remove "uk" from the URL they just don't ask first :)

Yep, seeing a lot of these pop up lately. Probably an attempted supply chain attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_attack edit: To be clear, if it was this, it wasn't successful. Blender team checked

Looks like that video was a demonstration from a company that sells these machines. The hole was just cut out for doing videos like this I'd assume, not a modification for regular use.

One of the major side effects of Ambien is anterograde amnesia, some people are less sensitive to it, but generally anything you do in "black out" phase will be a complete blur the next day. I used to take it an hour before bed an

Taking a quick look, this should be able to run without issue on any distribution. They're using Docker to run all the components. No Ubuntu-specific dependencies.

Jeez, all of their posts are ads for this nsoft crap. Is this allowed on HN? Not sure how to alert a moderator.

Certainly not FUD or "advanced". No encryption/obfuscation used to communicate with C2 at all, common patterns in the c++ binary that drops on clients, no polymorphism, drops itself on the disk. Might be a fun toy project for

The word you're looking for is "entertainment center", but yeah, weird there aren't more products available for that niche! There are lots of home AV receivers that might fit the bill but they tend to be pretty large uni

Big +1 for Gitea/Gogs, that thing will run on a toaster. Super low memory footprint and great for small shops.

My personal card pulls the same shit constantly. Last raise request I made was for $300 to put a bill on it, was declined, a month later I get an automatic offer for a $1000 credit raise. They'll be losing my business pretty soon.

This stuff is basically Goo Gone without the plant goodies and some aircraft paint thinner. It will remove most paint and clear coats so be careful! edit: I misread xylene as toluene, whoops! It still isn't the most paint-friendly

Launchpad is public, think GitHub but for packages. The Canonical Launchpad repositories weren't tampered. Presumably a lot fewer people have commit access to LP since it's used for package distribution.

Yes, the old drug patent will expire, and when this happens the company typically pulls an "oh our old version is now magically unsafe!" to wrestle away competition. Plus developing a product from the old patent still requires ext

Heh. I've yet to witness a system yet that survived no disk space. Lucky the whole thing didn't lock up, had a remote mail server die like that and required an on-site intervention.

Haha I've known for years and I still use <br />. Usually the linter will nag me, but otherwise I just don't care enough to fix it.

.NET itself has always been "free" (as in beer), it's just VS they made people pay for. They've had a community edition since VS2012 at least, possibly earlier but that's as far back as my brain goes. The Community

I swapped out Horde for Roundcube as my default for customers (who didn't want/need groupware, those are M$ and Zimbra), much easier on the eyes. Just as functional IMO.

This is a third-party extension, but it looks like the owner is still actively maintaining it, and pretty active on GH in general.

iOS browser apps are required to use WebKit, but you can pretty heavily modify things. There is a Tor browser app available, it runs Privoxy internally and proxies all traffic from that WebKit instance. Just one since I'm guessing no

For expand/collapse, one of the very few things I've liked about "new" Reddit is being able to click the indent bar alongside comments to show/collapse. Something like that in this for HN would be helpful.

For anyone else wondering about WWDC19, all of these PDFs are accompanied by a video. I guess they were separate in-person workshops.

Sure it's required and they should have to comply, but this is a secured LoC, so there's no interest to gather in the first place. Unless I'm grossly misunderstanding this? That's a stupid high APR, but you should effect

I'm not sure about other applications, but headless Canvas with Node is pretty nice. There are some other libs that do the same thing (that one goal at least) but this one looks tidier to use.

Misrepresentation of the images is something Microsoft has no more power over than Google Image Search. At the very least their dataset here wasn't including names/locations/etc. I don't really see how this is any differ

I don't personally see the ethics issue if they were using publicly available pictures. That would be like someone scraping public FB profiles. That person posted the image/information willingly knowing they lose all control over
