I think it's totally fine and normal for multiple OSS tools existing in the same space. Krita is almost 20 years old and is more focused on painting than on image editing – but personally, I use it for both, liking the UI much more tha

This is the second commend I read from you where you argue that a full data dump is still available for free, so the change wouldn't change anything about the service being 'open' – but it seems to just be incorrect: the only

The goal of strikes is not to force the employer out of business. In other words: When a strike happens the company has one very prominent alternative besides breaking the strike or closing down forever: Finding an agreement with the striki

Initially I pressed S and D and thought it was some kind of joke: Only predicting and counting the F presses, so it will always be 100% correct :)

Apparently those countries are important enough to provide the service and show ads – is it really so absurd that people in those countries are frustrated by not having the ability to buy YT Premium?

To be fair for me the first 10 root comments almost all recommend Express or Fastly, no obscure pet projects or anything. So there does seem to be a pretty clear consensus.

I haven't found this info in the FAQ, but it would be interesting to know how large that PMTiles file is for a medium-sized country. It seems to be a really attractive way of self-hosting maps that don't have to be 100% up to date

Just because another quasi-monopolist does it, doesn't make it equally good or acceptable.

I wonder if this is significantly influenced by the images you find when doing an image search for "<search term> transparent". A lot of sketchy clip-art sites insert the checkered background, probably to both symbolize tran

People also still play chess. I think people that just enjoy drawing and art because it's "fun and creative" can still enjoy it even with AI. But if you want to be "the best", computers will indeed be a tough compet

I think Kagi is going in the opposite direction: https://blog.kagi.com/small-web They try to highlight small, personal websites instead of the big mainstream sites. (This was a HN submission 2 weeks ago)

That is pretty much the suggested solution at the end of the article. There, the author also removes the temporary script. The solution really isn't that hard, it might just feel a bit "dirty" (using a scripting language to d

Because we should strive to improve discussions and pull them up to a higher level if possible. Especially on HN, where the comment section is actually useful instead of a cesspool of empty arguments and insults.

On desktop it seems to be an even worse version of Reddit than the default (or old.reddit.com). Three columns of 'content' and the main post text (arguably the most relevant part of the page) isn't even completely visible. (m

I think it's fascinating that this issue persisted for over a week with the developers seemingly unable to fix it – or not wanting to use "really hacky code" (quote from the article). Even with distributed systems, I would (n

Yeah, it was kind of scary when I got a photo from a non-famous location just a few kilometers away (in Europe). At first I thought this was a "prank" game where it uses IP geo-locations to present you with personal, easy to ident

The person you replied to did not say that Mozilla is _not_ investing in Firefox. I too am worried that Mozilla was cutting Servo development, in a time where Firefox already has a problem keeping up with new web features.

What a curious product: CSV import as a service (or hosted on premise). Would love to know where they pivoted from (according to the blog post).

According to the author's blog post [1] the idea was that it "will use the latest gpt-4 model made available". Not sure if the code isn't up to date or this was changed in the meantime... [1] https://adamkdean

It might be a standard term, but this is still a big reason not to use Zoom if you expect that any copyrighted or NDA'ed material will be shared. Zoom says they might use this data to train their AI. If the AI produces a close-enough c

The title is highly editorialized and links to a comment that has nothing to do with the sponsorship. Direct link to the comment, where Meta offers to commit to working on this issue for 3 person-years: https://discuss.python.org

Great game, but I was having difficulties with the controls. Even after a few levels I still got confused with the mapping of the arrow keys to the isometric view. Quite a few deaths happened because of that.

Absolute horror! Auto-playing video with sound on by default, hundreds of requests to remote servers (Google Play, Youtube, AdSense, some unknown domain, ...). I respect Arduino for what they have done for the maker and tinkerer scene, but
