In Norway you can lookup anyone's tax information. You can see who looks up your tax information, though, it is publicly available as long as you log on to government sites. So basically everyone's salary from two years back is pu

I feel the problem is you often read some panels in the wrong order, but when you read them you realize the order is wrong after the fact, based on the text. The AI could probably use the text as additional information for determining the o

"take off the skum". They totally forgot this step in the updated recipe. Now your pancakes will be full of scummy butter. Didn't know "skum" used to be an English word, or that its meaning changed to what is scum t

The title of the project on Github is Make Project Oberon Pretty Again, it's not something added to the HN post. "The last edition -- from 2013 -- could use some tender loving care. It should look beautiful." - the paragraph

If you want to increase your security, generate a random string for the "account" name. If you are using a password manager, then this shouldn't be too difficult. It can be a hassle when registering for something in person, t

Half the time I hear of Mac OS updates, it's people having their Macs bricked because they didn't wait for patches to the main release to come out. Every major release seems to have major issues. At least this doesn't render

It's not like you want to eat ice cream constantly, even if it means making everything into ice cream. Of course the premise becomes that the AI has been instructed to make paperclips. They should have hired a better prompt engineer, c

Trackpads are horrible. Gives me way more strain than using a mouse, even though I have relatively small hands, I find the larger Logitech mice very comfortable in use. Currently using a MX Master 3, after switching from the original MX Mas

There's the Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks book. It's a bit old, and not so much about frameworks, but more about programming languages and their available threading models or alternatives to pure threads. It still covers

Akka uses the actor model. https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/typed/actors.html IIRC, Akka based their implementation on Erlang (possibly OTP), but it's been a long time since I did anything with

To me "walled garden" sounds pretty negative. It's a wonderful place unavailable to pretty much everyone. Some pretty anti-democratic, capitalistic s*t. But I suppose it carries different connotations for different people. Wh

60Hz video looks super weird to me. Looks like it's running in like 2x FF, but everything syncs up with 1x audio. Watching The Hobbit when it came out was a horrible experience. It's not a problem with games, though. Even if 60 fp

So, are you suggesting we measure nuclear radiation exposure in amounts based on cannibalism? AJED, Average Joe Equivalent Dose? How many trucks of refugees do you have to eat, to get exposed to as much radiation as say, being 100 km away f

It's software used to create music. Typically you build sections that you loop and intermingle. It's kind of like writing small sections of sheet music for multiple instruments at a time, but unlike many Midi composers, the notes

At dawn and dusk, aka twilight, the sun is below the horizon. So you only get indirect illumination. Contrast is terrible, and shadows will be diffuse. The direction should still be mostly right, but you will be hard pressed to define the e

I guess you never played the early alpha versions of Minecraft. It used to run as a Java applet back when that was still kind of a thing. It ran just fine in the browser 13 years ago. Of course, you'd have to put in a bit of effort to

It's more a cultural idea that you should treat/consider the customer very highly. It comes from the honour system of inner and outer circles. So conceptually the customer (honoured guest, okyakusama) outranks you.
