Is not just “having enough”. People in New York had enough to eat for more than 60 years now - more like a 100 years. And ywt, up until the 1980s, obesity was a minor problem. All standards have since changed. I watched the 1st season of th

This was always possible to some degree - do not allow the access to either “spam blocking API” or contacts. You wont get “live” caller id, but you can check it later in the app.

14 years ago, i was using auto ash to keep SSH tunnels up; but at some point (quite far back - perhaps 2016?) ssh gained everything needed to do this internally except the restart. At this point I configure all of the keep alive and retry

Amiga trackers all used samples; whether they sound like chip tunes (that is, like a NES, a C-64, an AY-3-8912 etc) or not depends on the instrument samples used. AFAIK, the thing that qualifies a music editor as a “tracker” is a tabular re

Dolphin (Wii Emulator) is very accurate, and can e.g. upscale graphics. And there’s a “DolphinBar” sensor-bar-looking transceiver to get perfect wiimote compatibility.

Also K (1993) and A+ (1988) although the former only became public in 1998 or so, and the latter in 2003 - they were only available inside Morgan Stanley in the beginning IIRC.

For multiple speakers/screens, some kind of guarantee or description about the precision of the update callback would make it possible to synchronize multiple speakers and screens.

They are often “unprofitable” exactly because they properly optimized their taxes. At the extreme, no Hollywood production ever makes a profit, and they aren’t taxed. The tax people aren’t stupid, and the total tax paid is actually reasonab

Which is exactly what I said two posts up. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41329065 Now, RST attacks are still a thing, but mostly irrelevant to this port knocking alternative.

It’s been more than 20 years since any mainstream operating system was vulnerable. IIRC even SYN cookies are older than 20 years at this point.

Spoofing UDP is easy. Spoofing TCP is useless - you actually need to receive all the packets sent to the original TCP, which means either you are already on the receiving path, or managed to put yourself on it e.g. through a BGP route adver

A long, informative read, with some profanities. Highly recommended! 25 years ago, Spolsky wrote an article called “everything you wanted to know about Unicode and character sets”. Those of you who only lived in the post Unicode/UTF wo

The “database leak” argument is wider, though. It applies to password reuse (or systematic generation) and a leak from another site - which, may be stored in plaintext, or otherwise has a compromised login procedure that leaks passwords reg

This was likely reposted because of the date - it says the previous update was pulled on 18-July-23, which is exactly one year ago. An extreme coincidence, or a date with some significance?

It didn’t completely solve it for me, but 10,000 IU of Viyamin D3 early in the morning and making sure I get >100gr of protein per day made a huge difference for me after nothing else did (have tried most on your list). Being a vegetaria

I actually used FLTK for the first iteration; The theming support it had at the time was not sufficient, though, and the i18n story non existent (that was before even 1.0, versions were still labeled by dates). So, because pervasive theming

This comment makes me feel like I live on a different planet. In 1999, I built a completely custom Win32 GUI for a (brandable) chat application - that was the product the company I worked for was selling. Pure C and C++. It was a 32-bit app

Very well written. If you have any nostalgia for (or just interest in) old consoles / arcade machines / game system, this article is well worth your time.

Indeed, but it was just enough. In 1995, the PC was finally starting to move from 8-bit to 16-bit sound. The Amiga was capable of 14-bit stereo sound in 1985. It required a trick that only became popular around 1990, but the hardware was ca

It’s not like anything with a comparable price had memory protection - windows at the time was equally unstable and lacking protection, and it didn’t even have preemptive multitasking. The later Amigas (3000 for sure, don’t remember about 2

That was before snap. Now, Ubuntu doesn’t ask you, and just refreshes snaps in the background. Which is why I have stopped recommending Ubuntu.

Diff is incredibly useful on its own. I use diff a lot, and I think 95% of my use of diff is to figure out what has changed without any intention to apply a patch. Furthermore, it’s likely been 20 years since I used “patch” - I almost never

Not GP, but my recipe is simply cold brew (I'm in the 1 part coffee grinds to 8 parts water, in a metal pot, 24 hours in the fridge camp). Not at all bitter or harsh. And I like my coffee cold rather than hot, though you can obviously

Not necessarily worse density - variables are 1 byte names vs 2+ byte load instructions (often 3). But the thing that gives JS a huge advantage here is the “standard (dweet) library” which has sin/cos/fill/line etc whereas x8

I’m surprised everyone is using Tesseract. It was the only game in town 10 years ago, and it’s Ok on cleaned aligned data, but there are a few newer ones like EasyOCR [0] that can deal with much less organized text (albeit more slowly) [0]
