SoundCloud is full of fake accounts. I get a couple of new followers every now and then and it feels like 95% of them have mentions of "buy followers". I always report spam bots whenever I spot them on SoundCloud, Tinder, Facebook

The Wikipedia article above says that though uncommon in usage, the buffalo verbs in that sentence mean "to bully, harass, or intimidate" or "to baffle".

Probably not. HN only allows editing comments for a limited amount of time. In one post I found from a couple of years back, someone said that the edit window is two hours. I think perhaps also that as soon as someone has replied to a comme

I had never heard of PIX so I didn't know what it was. I suggest changing the title from: "Introducing PIX on Windows (beta)" to: "Introducing gamedev performance tuning and debugging tool PIX on Windows (beta)"

I tested in a clean VM running OpenBSD 6.0, worked fine for me, see my sibling comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13428005 for what I did step by step.

On iOS I think it is correct to first ask in app and then trigger the real thing if the user agrees because in an app there is a context that the app usually needs the permission so it makes sense and I feel it's nicer to ask me first

It was a long time ago that TOR chose to do so. I also think TLD makes sense anyway. TOR is a network and the protocol of the traffic that is relayed through it is independent of the transport.

About time (even though it was in 2015). I was afraid that someone was going to buy .onion and use it to deanonymize people who thought they were on TOR when they were not.
