Okay that is a fair point, see Blogger, Stadia, Google Reader etc.

It was a pretty fun game, but has that Team Ninja level of difficulty that I just don't find fun--despite finding FromSoft difficulty really enjoyable. I had the same issue with Wo Long.

Per the GP—this is likely about someone laundering money for terrorist organizations that the US is investigating.

The order was merely a nicety. I cannot imagine any company succeeding at taking a stand against the United States Federal Government on when it really wants something. Likely the same with any other major nation state (I bet the chinese g

Valve Software is hardly "hackers." They used a setup from TI, which I had the priveledge of attending this past year at CPA--one of the most stupidest overpriced venues in the US. This isn't a rag tag band of rebel filmmaker

> The fun is the sense of accomplishment for doing something difficult or extraordinary. I think that was the issue--the write up did not go into the details, which makes it seem like what they did was neither difficult nor extraordinary

From the write up, it’s hard to see that this was fun. It seems more like Chris Rock’s joke about driving a car with your feet.

I had the exact same reaction. Some cursory searching shows that it's being pitched for things like patient engagement to improve patient satisfaction, as well as reducing staff burnout.

You can write poorly optimized C#. And the intel C++ compiler has provided significant performance for decades via optimization without needing to optimize by hand.

Yeah it does cut both ways. In industry with just enough experience to be useful but not enough wisdom to avoid being exploited. Who wants to hire someone with kids, a mortgage and a life outside of work?

In the segment about Boeing they purposefully mislead the audience into believing instead of issuing a software update, the company issued stock buy backs. Looking at the dates if the source articles shows a much different timeline.

Fingerprint states that this service is for fraud detection, but they are actively discussing how they are circumventing browser privacy protections. So as a user my preference not to be fingerprinted or tracked takes a back seat in the nam

Yeah sinophobia is an easy trap to fall into. Though I would assume there is analogous sentiments on Chinese platforms.

That, but also because you interpreted a question to be a form of generalization. The great thing about HN is you can easily see a users comments.

I haven't looked at Nintendo's materials, but I would think they were able to find enough evidence to get them past any preliminary dismissal motions, and get to discovery in which case Nintendo would likely get access to all comm

That’s an argument to make. Jennifer Crumbley was found guilty of manslaughter for doing nothing to prevent her son from shooting up his school. That was criminal court with a much higher standard than a civil case. Nintendo has consistentl

It may eventually fall out. Not guaranteed to. Unlike OneDrive.

Carbonite keeps two full backups. And deletes the oldest cycle after that. Timemachine also keeps backups until you start running out of diskspace. Neither service deletes files from your backups.

As noted in the article, OneDrive acts as a file sync. It does have version history, but if the file is deleted locally, it will eventually be deleted from OneDrive (after a period of time). A backup is a binary equivalent of all the source

In what way? I've used a number of interoffice communication apps, and was on IRC in the hey days of dialup. Slack (for work purposes) just nails the experience for a broad set of users.

I think the issue isn't with the methodology (disabling cache), but rather the erroneous conclusion that the React.dev website continually requests data as somehow problematic when it's a sideeffect of disabling browser cache. Als
