This sounds horrible. In Europe there is the PSD2 [1] standard that basically forces (since 2020) all banks to provide some form of API to access and control customer accounts. And since all banks already had to go thorugh the work of creat

It's probably basic stuff that has to be in most Chinese apps, but I found the list of illegal words really interesting: https://github.com/jonathandata1/2022_beijing/blob/main/ille... It's a

As a developer I have a strong dislike against CEOs that say things like... > The goal that I had (...) was to take all the fun out of making video games. > The executive said that he has tried to instill into the company culture &quo

I think for most streams there's no real need to watch them from start til end. You can just tune in and out at will without missing much. For many it probably just runs in the background while they do other things, like some people do

I use a small Ruby script that fetches some RSS feeds and creates a static HTML page with that content. The script gets executed via cronjob and is hosted locally on my machine, served via python's integrated web server. That way I hav

To be fair videos of other people's vision is almost always jittery and nauseating – no matter if it's a VR recording or a video of an action cam stuck to the forehead. Your eyes are very good at removing all that jittering and th

Curious as you speak of "very little action", yet the Wikipedia article you linked says: > […] contrary to general opinion about the lack of BCP 38 deployment, some 80% of the Internet (by various measures) were already applyin

That was pretty much the argument that convinced me to switch my stance away from "anti nuclear". Living with the risk of another "Chernobyl" is bad – but a global climate catastrophe would probably be much worse.

What salary does the CEO of Wikipedia get and would increasing their salary to "market rates" improve Wikipedia or make it more viable?

He wrote that he dislikes the language – and so do I. I feel like this kind of marketing language is only there to obfuscate the real reason why things are done. They want to include ads to help finance Mozilla – the main goal isn't &q

They block links that have HN as referer and redirect them to a NSFW image. But if you copy that URL and paste it in the browser it will work.

There is a huge difference between the tracking Facebook does and "a phone call yo ask about your product". Having no tracking at all forced onto you might be the idealistic end goal for users, but it sure is unrealistic. Of cours

It crashed for me this morning but now it's working again. Seems like they have fixed it without a Play Store update of the app (I have automatic app updates disabled).

I really have a problem with this, as it even uploads the photo first and only THEN asks you to sign up. That means you can't even delete the photo without giving them more data. It's just "safe and secure in the Amazon cloud

In theory the solution is easy: As a website owner don't use tracking or marketing cookies (or any other non-essential cookies) and you don't have to annoy your users with banners.

One reason could be to not destroy any goodwill that was left by some members. Hijacking channels sends a clear signal that Freenode can't be trusted to provide a stable and secure network.

On first thought plaintext passwords trigger all the "danger!" flags but I don't think Google is doing anything wrong here. Having the ability to export all stored passwords is a must for any password manager in my opinion. I

Honestly I just think it has barely anything to do with the topic and is just derailing the discussion. There might be things to criticize about Cloudflare, but that doesn't mean one can't rally behind their efford to fight parent

I think it's fair to _criticise_ local companies that are giving up certain morals to be able to make business in foreign countries. This creates some pressure and forces companies to consider either keeping the users in your home coun

I don't know if it's really "worth millions", but I think you're missing aspects besides CPM. Having an interview with such a well-known person gives your blog a lot of credibility that you can leverage, e.g. when m

I'm not riled up, but this clickbait-y headline made me (subconsciously) question everything else in the article. If a billionaire gives away 99,9x% of his wealth that is fantastic news and I think Chuck Feeney is really great for doin

I can't really follow the logic in this article – maybe I don't get it? The article states that Bitcoin uses a lot of energy and as miners want to maximize profit, they want cheap energy. This is good for renewables as that is che
