Did you work on BB10?

It's more of a gut feeling than anything else. I don't know what the normalization rules are, but I think we mostly notice the normalizer when it mangles something [1], and not when it's just quietly humming along. Someone wi

In its (admittedly weak) defense, if the submitter edits the title back during the few-minute window after submitting where this is possible, the normalizer does not kick back in. But it is a bit opaque, in the sense that the poster needs t

I believe the "This" might have gotten swallowed by HN's title normalizer.

I am trying very hard to find an original version of this cipher with no luck. It almost sounds like this whole thing is a hallucination...? Can anyone point me to a PDF of the original Cyphral Distich as printed?

Couldn't you put !.gitignore et al in your global config file?

FWIW, the Original version looks misaligned on my Linux phone running Firefox. Fixed is, well, fixed.

It means they rebased all their changes on top of the new version. This is usually time-consuming because AOSP is not developed in the open, so you can't do this incrementally as things change -- you just get a massive drop sometime a

No, they got it booting on bare metal a few posts down.

You should probs edit out the spoiler, or encode it somehow for others who haven't watched it yet!

Sorry for the off-topic, but I was curious about Affectable so I opened the website. I saw it's very thin and light and comfortable, but I struggled to find out what "it" is and what it does for me. It's kinda buried. I

Just for what it's worth, I just pushed an eBPF-based workaround for people who are running kernels in which AF_ALG is linked directly into the kernel and not as a module: https://github.com/Dabbleam/CVE-2026-31431

I don't think RustDesk was hit by this. If you weren't able to access it two weeks ago, it was due to an outage on their end: https://github.com/rustdesk/uptime/issues/53

By Microsoft’s convention, that would be a way to run Windows 9x on Linux. It’s a bit confusing. Another example is “Windows Subsystem for Android”, which is what they use for running Android apps on Windows. I think the idea is that it’s n

Well, in that case, if they want full control and attestation yadda yadda, I'm fine with them shipping me a device they fully control exclusively for use of this stuff. But if we're talking about my smartphone that I paid for with

I didn’t know that, thanks for letting me know. I don’t think I logged out, unless maybe I accidentally triggered that in my pocket. I figured it was worth posting because I get relatively uneasy when unexpected things happen, and if others

I hadn’t checked how long the cookie is set for yet. But since I got logged out from both devices on the same day, I figured it can’t be that. I haven’t had this tablet for too long, and I think I must have signed in just 2-3 months ago. Th

Ask HN: Did anyone else get logged out from HN today?

I think they meant employees from the hosting company. But that's a funny interpretation!

Works now! I'm curious -- how is it that the article list loaded fine but articles themselves didn't, and why was it a 404?
