It's basic bause it does like two things. It's not advanced or complex. HN is also a basic forum, even though it runs in a browser.

The point of the premature saying is to avoid additional effort in the name of unnecessary optimization, not to avoid optimization itself. Using a thing that's already right there because it might be better in some cases and is no more

Isn't it common to set a fake static date and time for reproducible builds?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this should be an Electron app. Or Tauri or whatever. Seriously, it's a really nice Markdown app, but the "launch a CLI to urlencode your file" flow is such a messy way of doing

If you problem is that you don't have a text editor open...just open it to read the file? When I click on a Markdown file, it opens in my code editor with the preview pane already open. Then I close it when I'm done. How is that d

Not to defend Word et. al. too much, they have plenty of problems, but keeping the structure simple and applying a style over it is a completely supported way of doing things. I have documents with essentialy zero direct styling, just parag

I spent more than half the length of the article wondering a very simple question: what does the store actually sell? Even after reading the answer, I'm not entirely sure. A handful of specific books, "artisan" snacks and...c

This is not about paying or not paying. It's about cloud providers not having working tools that let you limit your spending. If I don't set up a budget and run up a huge bill, fine, sure, I should probably pay for it. But if I fo

That and I imagine the overwhelming majority of professional users pay for the Studio license. It has a few quality of life things that are a total no-brainer when you use it to make money and/or are paying the person using it.

I feel like glueing on an attachment or putting on gloves (!!) to use your laptop is in fact a much worse solution to the issue of "edge is too sharp" than...making the edge less sharp... Especially the gloves, come one, that&#x27

To be fair, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't want five different fibre lines going to every apartment building. That's more construction, more space use and more material costs. Ideally, we'd have one run goin

You can break the law if you have money. That's it. You won't be in front of a jury for "setting up fast internet". You'll get caught climbing into a manhole with electrician tools and charged with terrorism. The ju

A few years ago I learned that the only thing keeping me on 20/2 ADLS was a few 100 meters of already built but empty cable channel. I easily could buy that much fibre, borrow a fibre splicer and cable puller, patch it up to a relative

Definitely not always. It used to be that a mechanic or a skilled owner could tune, modify, repair or replace absolutely anything in your car. That was basically since the invention of the car, up to somewhere in the 2000s. And even then, v

Well for one, API access has nothing to do with it, you could to the same hacks through the chatbox, perhaps with a bit more time. And the same logic about hacks also applies to access to a command line or Linux or a programming language or

It's not about credit/debit, it's about phone/card. Americans tend to use "credit card" as a generic term for payment cards. And yes, phone NFC payment is one of those technically unnecessary conveniences that&

Isn't there a limit to the number of projects you can make and then you have to ask support to increase it?

Google didn't pay Mozilla to add a search bar. Mozilla added a search bar because that's a sensible feature, Google just paid to be the default. If the search bar didn't exist and Google paid to be the home page, fewer people

Why is there a search bar? A browser is more than a URL bar and a rendering engine. Search is a common operation for many people and having a unified entrypoint for different search providers in the browser makes sense. Chatbots are also qu

I think it's insane that the concept of a legal deposit [0] is so rarely extended to films or other media. Even more insane is that US courts have found it to be unconstitutional. A primary school's student newspaper needs to send

If your plan is to keep saying unsubstantiated bullshit, take that to Reddit. Go to a store and try modern OneUI - it's just AOSP with a slightly different layout and more features. The apps are worse than Google's, but the OS is

People buy high-end Android phones like crazy, I don't know what bubble you live in. Samsung Folds and Flips are the luxury phones, not the iPhone Pro Max S eXtreme Edition 32 GB that looks exactly like the base model but has a slightl

It's trivial if you're concealing your conceal your identity when committing a crime, but a huge pain in the ass and a crime itself if you just want to protect yourself from creeps tracking you.

But that's my point, what one irreplacable app/service do people rely on? The only thing that comes to my mind is messaging apps, but even there, almost everyone I need to talk to is reachable on at least one other app. I have mul

It works for the majority of things a text mining scraper would care to scrape. It's not just static sites but also any CMS like wordpress, as well as many JS apps that have server-side rendering. SPA-only sites aren't that common

Where did you get that idea? These certs have always been intended for any TLS connection of any application. They are also in no way specific or "designed for" HTTPS. Neither the industry body formed from the CAs and software ven

I tried to make it clear that I don't think it's their fault. It's an unfortunate situation, but they should really be more upfront about it.
