Yeah, it's a hilarious mimicry of their own process: "recycle" (aka destroy) everyone's old tech and sell them the new version of the same thing. It's like the most direct/blatant depiction of the lifecycle of

I had this exact thought the other day, I could make morse code vibration patterns for whoever is calling/texting so I know who it is without looking :) btw small world, I assume you're the person with the same name on other sites

Continuous Wave / Morse is definitely not "all but dead". In fact, it's in literally continuous use, 24/7, worldwide. If you turn on an HF radio (and have an antenna up) and tune to an open band, you will hear mor

Ah nice! I'm glad you're still doing some regular exercise/practice. I learned a bit of aikido when I was young too, and more recently have had some very nice 1:1 instruction in shotokan from a VERY experienced practitioner

So cool. Even better, you can see a clear version of the video without annotations/highlights here: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2024/04/The_Sun_s_...

Yeah, they can just deliver an alternate version of the web client (assuming the target user uses the web interface) -- probably the easiest (or least-detectable) way for ProtonMail to read a user's encrypted email contents.

Yeah! thank you! this comment is better than the whole original post! Very well-worded. You must practice some martial art? (no obligation to disclose, just curious)

Not sure why they expect a 10 year old to break concrete. It's not even worth trying, it's a completely pointless ability and your daughter can easily injure her hand smashing against a brick. Unless the goal is for her to be a

Ah jeez, I was hoping for more about the alignment of structure in one's body to apply the greatest precisely-directed force (etc.), but it just focuses on the gimmicky stuff I find the absolute least interesting about martial arts (th

Today there is another top post on HN that's like "50 years of PC OSes" and that's the history I think about when I notice how poor and obtuse a lot of modern software is. It's been half a century and still we get

unfortunately that convo probably goes like this: person 1: "we should make official documentation videos" person 2: "nah, our users/community will create those for free for us"

No judgement or anything, but there are a lot of typos in this post. A couple offhand , though there are more: "Unless bot hare literally 100% automated" -> "Unless both are" "I’d probably say somethings like&qu

Nice find, thanks! and wow, yeah that's really disappointing and .. borderline fraudulent?

To give some perspective, I owned a condo for ~11 years in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada. I sold it a few years ago for ~double what I originally paid for it. The new home I live in has gone up so much in value in just 3-4 years, I could

Does the guy have any photos to back up his claim? The tweet itself is just a random claim with no supporting evidence (unless there's more in the thread that Twitter is helpfully concealing from non-logged-in users)...

A lot of telcos used to have phone numbers you could call that would just say the number you're calling from (like with a computerized voice). I forget what this was called, but it was talked about in phreaking community or so on. No

I dropped by an LD shop tonight hoping to purchase one item. The doors were locked, with signage that the stores were closed (I assumed they would have reopened by now). They had some staff on hand, mostly to pass along info to would-be c

Aww hell yeah, dark jazz is great. I assume you know Bohren & der Club of Gore and Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble? (curious of any recommendations if you know more good stuff!)

AI models for... spam bots? There are way better sources for human writing. Is this a reasoning Melon Husk gave for closing off the so-called "town square"? Pretty poor reason, if so.

How do ids of different types accidentally get into a place they shouldn't be? Is this simply a case where someone mistakenly passes along a property that happens to be called "id", not noticing it's an account id rat

Yeah no, IMO this seems totally extraneous and a layer of complexity not worth introducing to any project. I've never encountered a case where I care that I need to differentiate between two types of exactly the same structure, and my

Ah yeah, nice! I used DrPetter's sfxr (and cfxr) for a couple game jams. Very useful for quick sound synthesis, great starting point even to use as extra awesomeness to layer on top of other sounds (like hastily-recorded foley audio)

Yeah, news sites are especially bad for this. The worst are the ones that start playing some other video (with ads) that is pinned to the side of the page as you scroll. Truly sociopathic design IMO.

Yeah, sharing a building with strangers... never again, as long as I can afford not to. It had its upsides, but wow. The amount of just ever-present noise was such a harm to my psyche, like some kind of slow torture over years. No matt

The western mind can definitely comprehend it. When it's garbage pickup day in my city, sometimes people are going by on bicycles rooting through trash bins (or recycling bins if it's recycling pickup day) and taking anything the
