If you look at the second animation closely you can see that there's a piece of spring steel one one side. In the animation it's only a 1-or-so pixel line. But that piece of spring steel open in one direction, but in the other dir

That "#:~:text=" highlighter is so annoying it has made me switch from Google Chrome to Firefox.

I've lived in the inner city parts of Stockholm most of the time (Östermalm/Norrmalm, Södermalm, Kungsholmen). I would definitely not wear 500-600 USD headphones in any of those areas. But I think crime in Stockholm is a bit off t

A bit off topic, but if you wear those around Stockholm, Sweden where I live, you will probably be robbed. I never really understood the combination of noise cancellation and home use only. I think noise cancellation really shines when out

For the 0 or handful of you who like to read critical editions in ancient Greek, here is something to look forward to: Finglass is preparing a new edition of Sappho (and also Alcaeus). https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/major-rese

Interesting. Two years earlier, when I worked at Spotify in 2013, I wrote a similar article: https://engineering.atspotify.com/2013/02/25/in-praise-of-bo...

As a security professional I 100% agree with the author. The comments here on Hacker News seem to have tripped on the examples given (keywords: politicians, journalists) and turned this into the more generic and politically loaded discussio

Didn't expect to find one here at Hacker News. 698... so you must have started around the early 00:s or thereabouts? Unfortunately I share your same statistics: I was very active in the early 2010:s and in that period I lost about 10 f

These kinds of issues are not unique to dark skin. Anecdote time: :-) As a Swedish/Finnish man (and a somewhat stereotypical nerd at that), I'm paler than probably 95% of the world population. Although facial recognition features

I think this article is a good example of conflating cause and effect. But not in a fallacious way or value-negative way: it more highlights well, I think, that there is a difficult gray area where "cause" and "effect" b

You win the internet today, that's a fantastic solution. I think the only gotcha is to handle the last block read in step 1 in case it's not evenly 1 kiB. Otherwise the first read in step 3 will overlap the blocks.

Just to offer a different perspective: An employer having too clear of an idea of a role can also be a red flag. The past 10 years I've often been the first employee - or one of the first - joining or building up the company's sec

Can you people please stop with this unhealthy attention. You need to understand that Swedish culture is really unhealthy right now and I ask all of you - I plead to you - as a Swede, to please stop giving Swedish policy attention so we can

This is a good thread to ask: Who reads Homer in your country, and why? I'm currently learning ancient Greek as my "Corona project": purely for fun, and mainly because I'm interested in Greek philosophy and culture. Tha

This is the most well-intended (I hope, assuming no ill intent on your part) but dangerous message I've read today. What you are really saying here that public officials should only be allowed to publish on approved enterprise communic

I've been there once, but had some language barrier issues (I visited at a weird time of day and as far as I know I was the only guest). Maybe you know: what's going on upstairs? Is that also part of the cafe or a private area?

This was the best part in the article I think. > Much of the rest of the world takes for granted architectural principles of how to build life-affirming human settlements. These principles evolved over thousands of years, and it’s no acc

I think this is a good example of confusing "popular" with "best". Having read over half of those books, the only one I would ever come back to and read again and again with a smile on my face and a feeling of childlike

What is Apple trying to gain by publishing this article? The tone is accusatory and defensive in a combination that does not make me sympathetic towards Apple. When Google posted the Project Zero articles, that did not impact my view of App

I think the article overlooks the value of strong fundamentals. If you deeply understand a specific technology it's so much easier than if you have scraped the surface by learning the most common exploits. I find that books, courses an

I like the slightly provocative title. To the stoics themselves, wealth and power are indifferent: neither good or bad. I say that the title is provocative because wealth and power often provoke people, as can be seen in this very discussio

From what I understand, the voting order was changed last minute. I am not surprised people screw up in those circumstances.
