Jeez people, at no point did I say that banks / credit card companies were perfect. Far from it. There are N+1 ways transactions could be improved, and each one probably has many reasons why "it can't be done". I don&#x2

No, it's how terrible people are. The chargeback mechanism is consumer protection through and through. It's there to help you deal with shady merchants, fraud, and theft. The fault lies entirely on the people abusing it. Blaming t

Frankly, I don't know what people are hoping to achieve by the whole 'privileged' thing. From what I've read, it's supposed to be an invitation to introspect your life and realize you have had various advantages. Bu

The SJW term, like everything else touching this issue, is not black and white. Both of your definitions exist, yes, but so does everything else in between. By making things black and white, you are perpetuating the exact same behavior yo

git rebase is akin to being a wizard but forbidden to use magic. I know it's there. I know it could solve a ton of my problems. But I can't use it because it would break everything from the feature-branch promotion model to my

I don't think that is the service they are offering. It simply says storage. The only sharing mentioned is sharing with other user's archives.... not public access. But regardless, we have no idea what backend they are using. Hell

Most people will hear that they have to pay money to get their name and immediately close the page. Many that continue will discover they need to also use yet another cryptocurrency or will simply say "I don't know how to use bitc

No, I'm pretty sure it's there because installing something that runs at ring 0 can do anything on your system. Look at all your internet traffic, files, make you go bald, etc. Any sane security-minded person should slightly pan

To my knowledge (and looking online I can't find anything to change this) VAC does not run in ring 0.

I find it interesting that in their "Should I panic" section, they miss one of the biggest panic-inducing points for me: That a program running in ring 0 has some form of internet access. They don't go into detail here about

Oh thank god. I was getting close to jumping ship to GitLab, which supposedly has toptier CICD stuff. Now I can at least compare the two.

Usually the only thing required to get a device on the supported list is an active maintainer that can support that device and do the work for the build files, etc. And I'd say usually when a device is removed like this, it's not

The whole "say someone's name 3 times in a mirror" predates Beetlejuice by a long stretch. That said, I don't know of any of the those myths that ended in happy endings for those saying the name, so I think your main poi

I recently replaced a freezer. (Yes, this is purely anecdotal.) Comparing the Energy Star rating from my old freezer to the new one, I'm saving just a dollar a month. Now, I have no idea what the calculations would be to figure out the

I wish, but that's not what most people want. Hell, it's not what designers want. Thinking back to the Myspace days, people would have the worst websites imaginable. Granted, that was all done with little more than HTML and java

These low orbits won't last forever. If nobody pays for them, they'll all be gone in a few years.

I'm glad you think it's worth it. I'm not as sure, personally. Especially since your examples don't hold water with me. Oppressive governments that don't like the internet aren't going to just allow the transce

The last I looked at them for either hosting or domain, they had a provision in their TOS that basically said they could terminate my account at any time if I did anything they felt was morally wrong. I emailed them and asked if what I was

How about a bit of decorum here? I appreciate that you have your thoughts on death, but you should realize that they are your own and may not match others'. The comment you replied to has another reply of someone that was close to this

It's only pure pain if you want bleeding edge AND stability. Non-rolling releases are just fine if you only need new features once a year.

One can hope. Still, that's at least four years out still, and I have my doubts he'll launch on time.

First of all, it's hacker news , not a general news site. And while the width of breadth of the type of news you'd find on here is larger than just coding and other hackery, it's still at least usually based in technology. L

I thought this was basically a non-issue as the battery circuitry would kill power before it got past that point. Or does that just stop it from emptying completely?

I will take a look! I'm looking to further distance myself from Google and such this year, so this is very timely.

I suppose it depends on how much content you put in your calendars, but I agreed with you on the usefulness, at first. Then I thought about how meeting requests are basically PRs. How how easy it could be to create shared calendars using su
