While I understand the author's frustration, I think they should take a moment and look in the mirror. A perpetual license doesn't mean that Filezilla should be a free hosting provider for installation media for eternity. Their re

Unrelated question, but I thought cattiness meant to be rude? Or maybe I misunderstand what you mean with how you use the word?

The whole technically zero emissions bit is not really convincing. Cattle makes up a considerable part of global emissions, to the point that there are entire industries focused on bringing that down. Surely the same would apply here?

This is an easy argument to make, but I don't think it actually applies in any way. Roblox is just as popular in countries where these things have not disappeared.

This is nothing new and it's been discussed numerous times. Would you also say we need more evidence that Meta is tracking people?

Upgrading once a month is insane at any rate, I could see the point in upgrading maybe once a year. For stable projects, you're very much fine upgrading only when there's a vulnerability or you need something from a newer release.

I'm not sure if I would really call it a discontinuation of the iPod, given that the iPhone is basically an upgraded iPod Touch.

It's unclear if that's the takeaway here. Pushes per repository can just as well indicate a project that's just old, or active, or popular, or etc.

Didn't see where you got those numbers, but surely that's just a problem of throwing more compute at it? From the blog post: > This excellent performance comes with fast inference — SAM 3 runs in 30 milliseconds for a single im

Regarding your edit, I upvoted your comment at first, but instantly downvoted once I got to the edit. Whining about imaginary interet points is not a constructive discussion worth having and in my subjective opinion does not belong on HN.

I'm not sure how this makes sense. Functionally the rules are the same across the entire bloc and it's pretty straightforward: unless you have a legitimate reason to store the data, you need to ask for consent and the consent must

Microsoft has very specific constraints on what extensions can and can't do, it's not a free for all. They're actively defending their mote by allowing Copilot to do things in a way that extensions couldn't. That's

This is pretty detached from reality. Many places in the countryside don't even have road lines, never mind reflective ones. People walk out in the countryside all the time. Animals are a very big reason to have bright lights in the co

For context, I once found a bug in Chromium and fixed it, the initial build took a few days on and off on my development laptop that was pretty beefy for the time. I say on and off because I had to interrupt the build if I wanted to do anyt

This is an idea that philosophers have played with in countless varieties, perhaps the one closest to the author's wording is Jean-Paul Sartre's concept of bad faith. Faced with anxiety, guilt or overwhelming weight of responsibil

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, why did you need to disengage the parking brake? You can change a wheel with the brake on, in fact I don't think I've ever done it with the brake off?

Many big names in the industry have long advocated for the idea that LLM-s are a fundamental dead end. Many have also gone on and started companies to look for a new way forward. However, if you're hip deep in stock options, along with

The company I work at has a strict no stickers policy, that's why each and every one of my laptops is covered in them.

Terminals are far from simple, that's the whole problem. We carry the weight of decades of technical constraints and arbitrary decisions on our shoulders every time we fire up a terminal emulator.

The EU comes with a whole range of flaws, that's true, but as far as I'm concerned it's still the best place to live in the world as far as personal freedom, quality of life, etc, go. Fixing the bad bits is important, yes, bu

This whole point could've easily been made without being a complete dick for 90% of the article. This style of writing isn't clever, it's just being a douche.

As a man who wears jeans with a bit of stretch to them, I can easily (but not comfortably) fit a large can of beer in each of the four pockets. A small device is no problem compared to that.

I haven't managed to formulate the exact issue yet, but if I squint, I swear there's a path to track and/or deanonymize someone visiting your site. If you have any kind of previous information about the user, such as Meta, or

React is not the same thing as JSX. You can use React without using JSX and you can also use JSX without using React. This argument makes no sense from the get go.

Role based access control is one of the simplest examples, your routes need to be conditional and all come with related metadata for permissions and such. With file-based routing you'll then end up with your routes defined in one place

Sounds like a good time to check out Wise or other similar options. There's no reason to pay extra for something as essential as card payments.

File-based routing is fundamentally flawed and it cannot be fixed. A number of libraries opt for it since it's easier for newcomers to pick up, but eventually you run into all of the cases where you do need something else. This in turn

Urls can include parameters and for those capitalization can definitely matter.
