How do you know that people use flags to further an agenda? I for one both downvote and flag pretty often, but it's largely because I don't like the tone of the discourse, not because of some overarching ploy.

A sample size of one doesn't really tell you anything in this context. HN definitely has a pretty heavy bias in some directions, it's mostly that the crowd that naturally flocks here tends to mostly agree on those topics, so you d

Climate change doesn't mean it only gets warmer, it means you get more extreme weather outcomes. Your anecdotes are a good example of climate change in action.

The fact that Jest blindly calls whatever binary is installed as `sl` is downright reckless and that's an understatement. If they need the check, a simple way to avoid the problem would be to install it as a dependency, call `require.r

Conditions at sea can and do change rapidly, when you're flying something like this, that's crucial.

Frankly that's a good reason to never give Nue serious consideration. It's all fine when you're building small apps one view at a time. When you have an application with hundreds of views and you need to refactor, that's

This only really makes sense for boilerplate code, if Copilot can consistently tab complete everything you were about to write, maybe you should be working on something new, not rebuilding things that probably already exist as a library.

Yes, it's called alternative app stores and there's quite a few of them around.

I don't really think saying documentation exists says much when Apple is notorious for having documentation that's either borderline or downright useless. It's generally the norm that some random blog post from a decade ago i

I've built things for a number of armed forces and I have a very hard time believing that what you're working on is so secret and sensitive that it's not possible to ask a third party for input on an isolated replication case

I don't think this is correct? SPF and DKIM are about ensuring that the server actually is who it says it is, not about its reputation. In other words, when you receive an email that claims to be from Gmail, SPF and DKIM help you ensur

I mean what's stopping anyone right now? All the tools are there and readily available, it's just that most people don't really want to go to jail for a long time.

If you're ever in a similar pinch, any loyalty card, credit card or similar plastic will work wonders as a makeshift ice scraper. No need to put your hands through that pain, turn the car on to get some heat going and hold the card wit

This is missing the most important step though, which is to actually launder the money. Concealing the source of the money is only half of the ordeal, making the money seem legitimate is the second, usually considerably trickier bit. If you

I can understand this sentiment in other contexts, but here? I'm not sure. They're exfiltrating how bad I can play sheet music? I'm not really sure if I see the problem?

Is that your gut feel or is that actually measurable? How many bits of information do you get?

That's the same amount of bits I got with every browser I tried (Safari, Chrome, Firefox). Not sure what the takeaway is, but at least for me, all browsers seem to leak roughly the same amount.

For context, Safari 17 was released September 18, 2023.

This attack isn't only about auth, auth is just the most drastic obvious example. Middleware is often used for a wide range of sanity checks. You could bypass, say, limit checks and ask the server to return an infinite number of items

I'm of very two minds with regards to Next.js. On one hand it gives you so many things to like out of the box, especially when you pair it with something like T3 and the like. On the other hand, it's such a massive goliath that it

Even at its current size, the software outsourcing business is multiple orders of magnitude smaller than the software business itself. While there's money to be made, clearly the hype didn't live up to even remotely what it promis

I'm not sure how there's any ambiguity to this? We're talking about the EU here. The same laws that enable you to do business across borders without having a legal presence in every country also outline how to deal with issue

This is a bad idea for so many plain reasons that I'm not even sure how the author could propose this as an approach. What they're doing is functionally no different form saying "I don't know my password", it just i
