> Why country with so much freedoms tolerates this particular injustice so much. My naive take - it's because we give corporations just as much freedom if not more than the average person.

Discord does this as well I believe. I often needed to enter the administrator password to install a helper after the system had been off for a couple days.

Even better would be a little field showing the rate and due date: [Cancel] [USD 12.99/mo billed on the 20th]

I wonder what would happen if one sent a cancellation letter via certified mail, then just stopped paying. If they come after you, well - you canceled.

Still is that way in many places. Some smaller clients I've worked with prefer the flat-file + FTP over a more integrated solution (TCP/IP, etc.).

Fixed drop-down fields are very helpful for shared/inter-company spreadsheets too. Highlight them in red until they're changed, then enforce the value via dropdown.

"Reader mode" has been a saving grace for me. I use it at every opportunity, desktop and mobile.

> Also I drive a manual, which here in the US seems to be almost unheard of. It's uncommon but some enthusiasts still drive them. My last two vehicles have been manuals. Planning to keep driving them as long as I can. 8)

Indeed. Reading the comments here makes me a bit more grateful for my early 2010s vehicle. I added a Bluetooth module so I can play music wirelessly. My phone magnetically connects to an air vent and starts charging. I open Maps and tell it

Reminds me of a quote (paraphrasing), "a vector without a force is not a useful vector". I thought it was by Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD team lead), but not finding it in a search. The opposite makes sense too, a vector with magnitude

That's pretty neat. Do you essentially loop over a list of images and run the prompt for each, then store the result somewhere (metadata, sqlite)?

Impressively long support. OpenBSD dropped support for i486 in 6.8, a bit under 5 years before Linux did (Oct 18, 2020). This happened when it was decided to ensure 64-bit atomics were always available.

Very cool! Do you see decent performance with the adapter? Sounds like a nice setup though. I too have an old laptop that's been running 24/7 for years. Kind of the perfect small server - low noise/heat/power and has a b

This makes a great deal of sense to me. If it's demonstratably effective I'd love to see higher education incorporate it. As a side note, I'm thinking about pursuing an MSc at Georgia Tech OMSC. I wonder if the online nature

Always cool to see old boards learn new tricks. I thought for a second "wait, my Thinkpad X230 from 2012 can boot from M.2" but then I remembered it has mSATA, not M.2.

No way, this is very cool! I loved playing through VVVVVV. The first level music still lives and plays in my head from time to time.

I've gotten those messages, but the products recommended in both versions were the same, down to the model number, so I don't think it's strictly product placement. The products I was looking at were old oscilloscopes.

In this example RMS made a request to the audience. A boundary would be something like "if you post photos of me to Facebook, you won't be invited to my conferences" or "if you do X, I won't interact with you&quot

Nice blog and article, thanks for sharing. I agree - some of my best ideas come naturally when not doing much else.

Just anecdata, but I was under a few times as kid. It was like teleporting into the future. Last memory was being told to count backwards, next memory was waking up in the recovery room. Apparently I had a small anesthetic overdose in the h

I've been following the creator on TikTok for a while as they implemented new features into the city to help bring it to life. Maps and the ability to select a destination and ride there is pretty new, IIRC. It's cool to see this

GP is referencing how rumors of the remaster were spreading a few days before the official announcement. There were some early topics on Reddit at least. Personally I doubt the "leaks" have anything to do with the release date. Th

Reminds me of the tumbling T-handle. A small tool is spun up in one axis, and due to some interesting physics, ends up flipping over on another axis every few seconds. https://rotations.berkeley.edu/a-tumbling-t-handle-in-sp

Good luck, Psyche team! It's always kind of exciting to see an issue appear only to learn there was already a redundancy in place to handle it.

> It is very easy to critique. It is harder to critique in a way that sheds light. Well said. This is the sort of ethos I admire and aspire to on HN.
