Nah, not a fatbike, he was a native Dutchman.

> The constitution is extremely flawed and should be abandoned. The Constitution is mostly fine and has carried your (?) country for 250 years. It is mostly fine because it is mostly interpreted in an originalist way, i.e. as a document

That'd be mostly a net-positive since mail-in voting seems to be hard to get right in your country. Better to get rid of it in all but the most pressing cases - those who can not leave the house, overseas military and such - and have p

And then war came, the enemy somehow managed to attack the area where you live - think that silly Red Dawn movie - and enemy troops are closing in on your area. What do you do? 1: Give up and let them take you and yours 2: Fight them in t

> I've always been wondering why they don't exist on smaller scale. Because they need space, they need even more nasty chemicals than domestic dishwashers, they need a stack of trays to load the dishes on and a crew to load an

Are we, really? Which mass extinction events would those be, and in what way do "we" trigger them in the name of improving things ? To me it sounds like you've been exposed to a bit too much agit-prop that the discovery of a

Nay, I don't speak TikTok. As to the 'antiquated parlance' I'd say it is what you use when discussing eschatology with religious fanatics.
68.
by Leonard_of_Q 4mo ago
Yeah, sure, capitalism, 1%, etc. Spoken like a 15yo who just saw some DSA- agitprop on TikTok and is now ready to solve the world's problems.

Why person in their right mind would voluntarily walk around with "meta" or Google or Apple or any other surveillance camera and pay for doing so is beyond me. It feels like something straight out of the initiation scene in Nati

Well, create a virtual camera device with 120x80 resolution and give Ggl access to that and only that.

That's like saying the roads are dead because people built strip malls and McDonald's everywhere. They're ugly and mostly annoying but there's still those roads leading to the paths into the mountains, ready for anyone w

Not the type of question you'd expect on a site called "Hacker News". Why do experiments when you can buy something? Why tinker with objects when you can buy ready-made ones? Why climb mountains when you can fly over them? Wh

The Atlantic writes for its owners as well as its readership, both of whom consider it unsavoury to compliment their homeland without adding multiple caveats.

Better than medication. Better than giving up and giving in. Better than learned helplessness. Better than being a slave to technology.

Train your brain to not "need" it. Brains are malleable whether someone diagnosed and labeled them or not. Concentrate on something else during those cut scenes, read a book, study the clock or thermometer or cat or leaves on the

I foresee an old favourite making a comeback: Learn to code This is only partly tongue-cheek. If you're using it all the time your coding skills will have declined markedly so it might be good practice to DIY when the is no time pres

> the laws of gravity don’t apply to SpaceX If and when that happens the stock will really take off.

by Leonard_of_Q 4mo ago
That'd mean they sell for more than the advertised price given how the stock went up after launch.

Put OpenWRT on the thing and you'll be able to do what you want. Experience the joy of adding not port forwarding rules for IPv4 but more or less identical (same ports) access rules for IPv6.

by Leonard_of_Q 4mo ago
The more mobile traffic, the more IPv6. Have a look at India, it is not as if everyone has a fibre connection running IPv6.

What makes you think so? Is it only because you dont like Musk or do you have some insight into all companies using Cursor you want to share with us? Even if you dont like Musk you should realise that others may not share your sentiments an

Not gone forever though. There were nerds at the start of the industrial revolution, they were there when electrification happened, when radio became feasible, rinse and repeat to the most recent iteration of "computer nerds". A n

Jobs is not the one to think of when relating to nerds, Wozniak is. Jobs is the one who comes in and takes most of the money as well as the limelight when some nerds have done something interesting but then act like the dog who has caught t

No X11 because 'KDE drops it' is a rather silly argument for not including it, especially given that X11 is likely to trump Wayland-based systems on this metric. I'm using X11 and will continue to do so until something better

You know the solution to that problem as well and yes, it is to use more technology to filter out prompt injections. It is an arms race just like any other, comparable to the missile vendor who sells missiles to country A, anti-missile miss

That is what you use the heat pumps for, to transform what you call "low-grade heat" to... "higher-grade heat"? The COP for a heat pump doing such a transformation can be very high, i.e. for a relatively low power input

There's a clear solution to the danger posed to free software projects by accepting hostile submissions but it probably is not one that maintainers want to hear: they can use an agent to check submissions for nefarious patterns. Someti

Because they don't have access to the required agents, tokens, etc. Because they have not thought of using a tool like the published one as a solution to whatever problem they're facing. Because it saves them the time going throug
