To be fair, isn't this the standard response to issues everywhere? Generally, users will find edge cases in odd scenarios that are difficult to reproduce. (But I do not use CC and have never looked at their issue trackers, so maybe I&

It's changing, though, and articles like this are important. TFA is arguing for change in the future, not presenting this as a fait accompli. In the 27 years I've been in academia, I've seen a lot of progress in data openn

Oh, those great days when the competition was NCSA Mosaic. A simpler, better time. I miss it :(

Adblock, I would have thought. And Google can't compete in this space, by their very nature. This is the message that Firefox needs to push: Hate ads? Use Firefox.

I don't understand this - what is wrong with Firefox these days? It does everything I need, and very few things I don't want. Very puzzled why there isn't more love for Firefox, even on HN.

Ok, so the big security risk that passkeys are supposedly designed to stop, is actually still there? If you can still be phished, remind me what the point of any of this was, again?

If your phone is lost, how are you going to sync your passkeys to your new cheap android? In a passkey-only future, you cannot login to your Gmail account without your passkey, which is only on your phone, which you've now just lost.

Awesome. I'll just find the thief and ask nicely, shall I?

And that sounds fine, until you're traveling and your devices get stolen or lost. How, exactly, are you going to get into your email then, once passkeys become the only means of login? Because that moment is when you really do need to

Unfortunately, universities have entrenched with Word documents that cannot format correctly on any FOSS solution, or even on the web version of M365 Word. I have tried, so many times, to request form compatibility at least with the web a

I think OP's point was that most people are using agenetic coding, but they're ashamed to admit it. They play down and minimise how much they're doing it, roll their eyes at it when talking with friends, and agree just how mu

Did you read TFA (the Reuters one) that quotes the Australian trade minister? Or are you somehow more involved in determining trade agreements than the minister? Trump has upended decades of stable trade relationships. I would not assume

Yep :) The first thing that came to my mind also. Nice to see someone else remembers...

But HN simply ranks posts by upvotes. I know you don't intend it this way, but you're effectively suggesting that HN should not pay attention to what its userbase are upvoting, but instead curate posts by your personal opinion in

Yes, but the really weird thing is that they seem to: a) believe that what they're creating is a basilisk, and b) keep trying harder to do this while staring right at it I think they're very deluded about (a) -- but if they do ac

Not in my family or extended family. But you can see examples of this all the time when eating out. So many young couples sit at a table at a restaurant, get out their phones and scroll away, occasionally showing their partner something t

Companies don't really care about rules per se. They care about their risk appetite, and whether the consequences of their actions create risk above that appetite level. The simple calculus is: will it cost me more to comply, or more

I don't want to necessarily claim that Altman is worse than Holmes, but I don't think the rank order is entirely clear either. An AI CEO was absolutely Holmes' calling. You can only imagine.

I'd argue that the novels the TFA author reads are boring to the TFA author -- until they're not. If you are reading a novel that works for you, it's often not boring from the opening line. Example: Anna Karenina. Grippin

Well, someone is clearly giving Graphene money, and quite a lot of it, as per TFA: > We recently hired a bunch of new people and will be hiring more so our progress will be accelerating.

FUTO Keyboard or Heliboard (both FOSS) will give you key symbols without shifting, as will likely several other FOSS keyboards.

Well, the joke by itself was enough to write an article about. Simple, hilarious, and we need a lot more of this. A bit sad that it's a strip club sticking it to the man, but perhaps that's appropriate too. But as for claiming t

Has anyone else found NextCloud to be slow and unreliable? I've been using it for the last three years (switching over from OwnCloud before that), and it's never missed a beat. Straightforward to set up, decent linux desktop cli

Yes, the curve of the front fork on the max pelican was what I noticed also. It's impressive (if not an accident), and a remarkably accurate bike overall. The pelican just needs to raise their seat a little.

Even distros often provide a kernel mainline branch to let you install the latest and greatest kernel in a click. But there's also nothing to stop you simply building the latest kernel from source and using that - it's pretty easy
