English has existed in one form or another for longer than that. The Cantebury Tales, in Middle English, was published before then.

Didn't realise that was what you were getting at. In short, no, you cannot stop deep-links for Edge from opening in Edge.

If this is an honest question, then Microsoft's answer is that you use Intune to push the Chrome & Edge settings (via the same policy node, since they're the same engine, they just report their spying to different corporations

I have trouble distinguishing the difference between Thiel Truths and Bathory Truths so this would be helpful for me.

It's complicated, and there's no single way to answer that question. The shortest answer is that inch for inch, high-megapixel digital sensors have higher resolution than film, especially when measuring luminance only. The longer

This doesn't just apply to film photography. I own a small photo printer (a Canon Selphy) for printing 4"x6" high quality prints, and it's astonishing how much more engaging it is to hold a physical print or flip through

Yes, those concerns exist, but they're also practically impossible to enforce. At my enterprise, it's a three step solution, two of which don't work. 1. Written policy concerning LLM output and its risks, disallow it for bein

The author fails in imagination, expecting that future computer intelligence needs to follow the path of human intelligence, where it can’t be immediately snapshotted, reset, rebirths, or fed new information. Is it cruelty to delete an AI w

By virtue of my role I have access to all sorts of data, even down to how many emails a day any given person might be reading or how many Teams calls they're in. I don't ever dig into this on an individually-recognisable level (be

Your skepticism is unsolvable, as it is for the majority of managers who have this data, individually. Imagine, for a moment, that I have collected metrics on the members of the teams that I manage that measure productivity against work fro

You may wish to disclaim yourself in a similar way on the other comments you made across the thread.

I’m so curious as to the answer here. My intuition says you’re right, but my second-questioning brain says “maybe the people who run a site about nothing but paper planes got it right the first time”. Is there something about the aerodynami

The definition is at its root: “private” is by nature privative: it is essentially defined by what isn’t . If privacy includes “not being observed”, “not being recorded” and “not being overheard” it is hard to have a conversation around as

To provide some clarity on my own position, I understand and echo your desire to have a society in which our quiet moments are not intruded upon. I am not arguing that the expectation that you not be monitored is unreasonable. What I am say

I’ve been sitting here for a while trying to come up with how to eloquently put this in English and I cannot. Maybe English lacks the appropriate terminology to express the difference between privacy and publicity within the expanded scope

The room you're in has no bearing on headphones, except perhaps for the background noise. Having a wonky head, however, may affect the seal of the pads against your head, or the headphones may clamp too much or not enough, or the cups

DACs? Beyond a very very cheap entry point they make no difference. Anyone telling you that DAC A is warmer sounding than DAC B is almost certainly a cork sniffer. Amps, however, obviously have an impact on the sound delivered — especiall

That’s true, and if you had simply expressed your lack of understanding that would be perfectly reasonable, but “probably not very [productive]” is a judgement, is what you wrote, and what I pointed out was a bad take. Edit: The edited and

The equivalent in English would be “sitting cross-legged”.

“I don’t know how to work effectively from a laptop therefore no one does” is, to be frank, one of the worst takes I have read on HN for a while. There’s nothing about a laptop keyboard that makes it not useful for work, nor anything about

I stopped reading it because of its formulaic storytelling. I loved the actual stories. Weird, unfortunate programming hijinx that some unfortunate new hire had to deal with. I’ve been there, or near enough, tens of times throughout the ti

This is an anecdote, but worth mentioning. I ride a bike. I don’t ride a loud bike: it’s still within Australian limits for sale, but it has some volume, and a little bit of lower end thump. Two bikes before that I rode a 250cc four cyl

While not particularly useful as a scientific method, and obviously not attempting to counter your broader point asking for more detailed analysis, there’s incredibly compelling evidence: Go for a 100 mile drive at night, and count the bu

I dream of a clamshell e-reader, with dual 7 or 8" screens, that reads in the traditional two-pages-at-a-time kind of book orientation. It seems a no brainer to me. It would keep the fragile e-ink substrate safe, while being more erg

These little boards are ultra handy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIHj3qMRqqE Rip the barrel plug off of things and replace it with USB-C input, or make your own USB-C 'dongle' to power anything that needs 12v.

I don’t have an exact example, but it’s often employed by Ben Shapiro. Just look for clips of his debates and you lol run into it soon enough.
