   Recent versions of Windows 10 have the Sandbox feature which gives you quick and easy access to a temporary VM that would let you safely open the attachment as described in this article. Obviously not as secure as Kali Linux, but more usabl

   For what it is, Cardboard is pretty cool technology that opens up the VR world to a lot of people that would never be able to afford the high end equipment needed for real VR. I had a couple of cheap Cardboard viewers and then upgraded to t

   This is pretty neat, and in my quick testing between Chrome and Firefox on both Android and Windows, it worked well. A quick search on HN shows that this was first posted 6 years ago as a "Show HN" - looks like it's come a lo

   I think the first 8 points are all totally acceptable and makes sense. But it goes downhill from there... I'm totally not comfortable calling someone by a strange-looking "neopronoun" that I'm unfamiliar with - I would r

   They appear to have toned down their marketing efforts recently. You no longer get bombarded with clickbait pop ups or alerts.

    Nice work. I don't know much about the cryptography to comment on whether this is a good implementation or not, but it's cool to see a VBScript link on Hacker News! :-)

    I've never seen a bug like that on Windows. Honestly, it feels like a lot of Mac users live in a bubble where Windows is a buggy pile of crap. Meanwhile most Windows users around the world are getting on with life on a stable OS with a

    This is a dishonest article with a misleading, attention-grabbing, clickbait-worthy headline, and is no different to other reporting recently (e.g. Stallman) where quotes are taken out of context and misrepresented into something completely

    Ah - thanks. Interesting to read that quote in context of the discussion. Not sure we can extrapolate too much from it, but still an interesting position for the Windows CEO to state.

    After using many different Python tools (Poetry, Pipenv, virtualenv, etc) I've found that the most reliable method is to just use the standard `venv` command to create virtual environments. I have the following `cvenv` ('create ve

    Nothing to do with DevOps, more to do with keeping your different projects separate with their own dependencies. That way, if you need to move the package to another machine, you can just do a `pip freeze` to document which packages you nee
