Bullwhip effect on this will be funny. At least, we are in for some cheap ram in like… a dozen months or so.

What is dead may never die. Perl will live on in the few mostly weird places doing things other languages can only dream of. And that’s fine. Perl doesn’t need to win the race or update itself. It is good enough as it is. It’s the magic wan

You need to describe to AI what you want quite precisely. Non-expert people can't describe basic things, let alone complex projects.

Well... Good point, but it seems I'm the lucky 10K today :) I wasn't around WWII to see the military equipment ads in the newspapers. And even though I've read a lot of newspapers in Poland (basically since the 90s) I don&#

Google Fit is being replaced by Goolge Fitbit, but as usual with Google what is really happening is Google is one by one replacing the sections of the original Fitbit app with the Google Fit interface. The first thing that got replaced is t

It was back for a moment, now 500 again. Each refresh is a lottery, 200 or 500.

Yes, error 500 in Poland as well.

Digging deeper it seems these notifications are a one-way street, so Flightradar24 app may not even know it was pushed. It seems like a local on-device notification. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifi

Turns out it's Apple itself that "sells" my data. Most likely because of I have Siri enabled with location access to "frequent places" or "important locations"... I'm quite disappointed. I thought thi

I thought about it, but how would this work exactly? I passed the airport on a highway, so I didn't connect to any wifi. Maybe my phone probed some access point, but still this would require the said point to send my phones identity to

I’m on latest iOS version. Could they be using the contact tracing api in some malicious way?

Ah thank you! I knew I remembered there was something along these lines already but couldn’t find it.

The author highlights tracking, profiling & targeting. Just yesterday, I Asked HN but none responded: can't we just flood the trackers with random data instead of fight so hard to block them? https://news.ycombinator.com

Can't believe nobody here mentioned that his translation is a funny blunder. When you type "валентина сынах" into Google Translate you in fact get "Valentine Sons" but it's a mistake. There's actually a he

This reminds me of TweetDeck, with many many streams opened at once. While the concept sounds interesting, it quickly becomes very cluttered to the eyes. I think the main problem stems from the necessity to monitor chats horizontally but re

I find it interesting that the fact so many comments mention config flags mean not many here are actually using the same Firefox, and not even close to the default one used by the 99% of its users.

We, as humanity, simply have to explore beyond Earth to survive in the long term (meaning really long term, like next 1000 years). Moon, Mars, and beyond. It's evident that Earth is not big enough for all of us, today. What about the n

Turns out "engineered social interactions" is indeed an oxymoron. Also, Google's work structure where most product leads don't have dedicated tech teams but instead have to win over tech groups to work on their projects
