I wish articles would at least explain acronyms the first time they're mentioned. Just putting the full form in parenthesis would go a long way and not disturb readers that already know them. Maybe it's because I'm not a nati

That's interesting. I have a Pi 1B running non-stop since 2013 with the default Raspian image and the SD card still seems to be fine. Maybe I've just been lucky till now…

I'm still waiting for widely available and affordable e-ink displays for tinkerers. I'd love to put one onto a Raspberry Pi to show some information, but it's just too expensive right now.

There is a pending patent dispute with Blackberry and a German court ordered them to remove the chat export for German users.

It's really annoying that WhatsApp chat export isn't available in Germany. I used to export my chats as backup and for creating fun stats for group chats with friends, but that feature got removed about a year ago. I haven't

It's suggested in the HN guidelines to keep the original title whenever possible and not to editorialize. But I agree, without prior knowledge of yesterday's outtake it's hard to guess what's behind that title.

The fact that they indicated to increase the rule limit for over a year but haven't done so yet (the beta still has a limit of 30k) doesn't seem like they really have addressed the drawbacks. I wouldn't think increasing that

In my country (Europe) meat substitutes are more expensive than the cheap meat you'll find in discounters. So if you want to have a meat-like taste for many poorer people meat is the obvious choice.

To be fair it doesn't seem to be _that_ bad on this thread: There's the very vocal OP as well as a "discussion" between various users that ranges from "please switch back to ReCaptcha" to "please keep hCap

Because that's a huge difference in regards of "tracking".

All top submissions once had 4 votes – it all depends on how fast (and maybe from whom) they came.

To be fair that piezo alarm seems to be the fallback for an power outage only. I think it's acceptable to be waken by a piezo instead of having no alarm at all.

They are sortable for me (Firefox). Clicking a table column header (with two triangles as "sortable" indicator) sorts by that column. I think tables have to be specifically marked as sortable for this to work. But in case of this

But situations are never "the same". The input (camera images, sensor data) will always be (slightly) different and – in this example – might just lift the confidence of "this is a truck standing on the road" over the th

Well Google might be very kill-happy with their own products but at least they always give an early notice so everybody can at least take out their data and move to another service. So even if they shut down Photo one day you will probably

It's mind-boggling to think how fragile and potentially dangerous those dependency ecosystems are – no matter if it's Ruby, JS, PHP or other languages widely used for web apps. We all just hope that nothing bad will happen or that

No, according to the article this will only evade the hash-based lookup. All images that aren't in the hash database are then analyzed by some other, computational more expensive system (OCR, …).

I don't think this is meant as a replacement for long-distance transports (where trains and barges are already well established) but for the "last mile" where you need to transport only a few goods to varying destinations (bu

It only took him two hours after the feature request was posted until the change went live. I guess that kind of speed is only possible if you're a solo developer that takes full responsibility for his product and who is product owner,

Thank you! I still remember when news sources always quoted him as a "patent expert" during the Oracle vs Android/Google battle and it was so obvious he was as far from a nonpartisan expert as one can be.

It's a fun idea but it really threw me off when playing around with it. It feels like the proverb 'too many cooks spoil the broth', i.e. both me and the NN want to decide where the song is going and in the end no one is happy

I seriously can't remember any (incredibly) widespread use of Silverlight – could you elaborate? The only instance I noticed it was with a video streaming platform.

Germany was a pioneer with its "Leistungsschutzrecht" and German publishers indeed wanted to force Google to show their news snippets (and therefore pay for them). Their reasoning was that Google as a monopoly position and therefo

GPS or Wifi could easily be attached via USB, you don't need GPIO for that. The huge benefit of GPIO ports are all those things that DON'T have standard ports like USB: sensors (temp/humidity/air, radar, …) or controllin

Why am I not surprised that a European is saying that the government-backed "broadcaster" are all so good, and evil private American new sites are bad. Nowhere in that comment I can find a reference to American (evil) news sit

I could only open it with Gimp (which rasters it to a bitmap) on Ubuntu with the installed default software.
