I'm a smartass that has a little metal paddle which can poke the coin slot and release the cart, but doesn't get retained by the slot.

Does Pascal's break down like this Go does? func f(x StatusCode) { } f(728347) // There's no such status. Whateverz, no compile error.

In 1990s-born scripting languages, it makes sense that there are plenty design choices that don't mesh well with static-analysis-driven autocompletion, because that was not at all part of the requirements for these languages at the ti

I'm guessing the HN backend detects "voting rings" like that who often vote together.

We've got to assume that Google have internally been developing "real" Chrome for iOS for a long time, so that it'll be ready to go immediately, right?

I know some operations that have not even embraced source control yet and are still running, so I'm skeptical about being a laggard being so devastating.

Not sure what to troubleshoot with AdGuard, but from consulting mine that's working well, I'd ensure that both "Safari protection" and "Advanced protection" are enabled in its app, and that all of its Safari ex

Lisp has a guaranteed life (albeit low stakes) in configuring and extending Emacs, which like Vim is unkillable!

As I understand it, AdGuard uses (in addition to a browser extension) a system-level local network proxy so can do anything to requests and responses? Confusingly, there are 3 offerings: "AdGuard for Mac", "AdGuard for iOS&qu

I've been puzzled reading previous discussions about Safari where people acted as if it doesn't have good ad-blocking, just because the brand name extension they're familiar with wasn't available. There has been very goo

For YouTube videos I feel are worth archiving, I just add them to playlists on my channel, then periodically download my entire channel using a single yt-dlp command (it can keep track of what's already been downloaded).

Come on, it's inevitable that chat history becomes a knowledge base to some extent even if the participants are aware of this pitfall.

Seems pretty nice. I was getting worried when it was talking about requiring a third-party library (remote_pdb), but at least it sounds like you can now attach pdb to any running process on the same box using OOTB tooling only.

CLI as a paradigm is not necessarily related to emulating 1980s DEC hardware.

It doesn't use curly-braces driven syntax, so will probably be accused of being "complex" and dismissed.

I wonder to what extent either side is worried about the firmware on the drones. Somehow getting tampered-with firmware onto the drones that your enemy is using seems like it would be valuable.

It seems like it has the connotation of being spontaneous and not requiring preparation.

Another thing one could do with a flat list of hundreds of saved links (if it's being used for "read it later", let's be honest: a dumping ground) is to have AI/NLP classify them all, to make it easy to then delete

Having a zero Easter Egg policy is simply the only thing that makes sense, because there's no guarantee that something slipped in by an individual employee who thinks it's funny or tasteful... is actually funny or tasteful.

The dodgy hardware doesn't reflect well on the Google/Pixel brand, that's for sure. That said, I'm fairly happy with this because my 6a just sits around as an Android test device. Probably only has tens of battery cycles

As a kid, that look felt somehow off to me because I could sense that it was at some level "fake". The various magazines at the time could be kinda wooly on the subject and imply that the power of the SNES was rendering the charac

That's disappointing. From following 37signals, I honestly thought Mr. HH had better design sensibilities than a TUI-obsessed /r/unixporn dweller. Look at the screenshots - there's like half a dozen different attempts at

Let's take a look at SvelteKit. Huh, it has zero to say about the database? And this is the first framework that comes to mind as equivalent to Rails? Sheer insanity
