I've moved from Evernote to Obsidian this year and like it so far. It reminds me of code editors, it was clearly inspired by them. The markdown notes and attachments are just plain files on my disk, they can be backed up and synced acr

Six-digit pin works well for me in European countries - Czechia, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy.

I live in Prague, in central Europe. During winter and autumn months the sun goes down around 16:00. People who work normal 9-to-5 hours essentially don't get any sunlight outside. Waking up in the morning in darkness sucks, leaving of

IMO it's not DL libraries, it's Python. Python sucks at managing dependencies. It's a hilarious mess of pipenv, prose, conda, vex, pex, shmex and god knows what else is hot now. It seems that every time I want to write a simp

Oh I don't know, EU leadership and officials were more than happy to settle with with a dictator who annexed foreign land, crushed dissent and assassinated political rivals both domestically and on foreign soil. They were happy to sell

Speaking from my experience, Windows never broke for me after updates. Install, reboot, done. I have actively used windows from XP to 10 with similar results. Linux, on the other hand, is a mess. Arch was mostly fine, I had to update an occ

Damn, this is the most unrefined way of preparing coffee that I've heard of. I have cut down on caffeine a lot a few years ago, but I still enjoy the ritual of brewing coffee in a espresso machine or in chemex. Most of the time it&#x27

You are demonstrating the level of geographical and political knowledge that people expect from americans. I hope this is satire.

You seem to have a fun answer to this. Please, enlighten us!

Let's be honest here, the only reason why they "held out" is the MFi program and the sweet sweet money they receive for it. I'm happy to see EU put a stop to this practice.

That's not a realistic threat model for most people.

I don't think you can do that on most boards. The switches and stabilizers are very different between layouts. I can't imagine how would that work outside of re-soldering some switches and reassembling the board, if the PCB allows

You can’t be serious. Does this mean not clicking on any links in the search that dont lead to a “trusted” site? Not following any links that your friends send you? I think fixing the browser is a less tedious task than limiting useful inte

European attitude towards guns differs a lot by country. In Czechia for example getting a license is straightforward and lots of people have small firearms. They just don’t fetishize it and brandish it at every opportunity.

To be honest I loved it more back in the "old days". The barrier of entry to sharing your mind with the world was so much higher - you had to be on the TV, radio or at least a newspaper or a book to do that. Even with the advent o

To expand the total surveillance even further? It seems to me that every government, no matter how liberal or progressive, loves surveillance. Look at how quick European governments started to vacuum up the data from mobile operators when C

I used it for a while, but found it to be unreliable. Sometimes my Raspberry Pi’s became unavailable through the nebula network. I had to ssh into the Raspberry from home network and restart the nebula service. This happened once a week or

Like it did on my Galaxy Note ten years ago! Consumer tech is now just like fashion - moving in circles.

I agree. It's a mish-mash of melting shapes, nothing resembles anything. I'm really confused why would someone call this "perfectly fake". Have those people seen the real covers? The covers were meant to catch your eye,

I remember that every time I bought a new Android phone, there was a new chat app that was - obviously - not backwards-compatible with the previous one. Some of the contacts were usually there, some random ones from my Gmail account appeare

After reading this I, Firefox user of many years, learned my lesson and downloaded Brave. I hope that Brave will be a better user agent than FF.

Authorian state is going to do what authorian states always did, but better and bigger - thanks to the technology. And the western politicians along with olympic committee will shut their mouths and pretend that nothing is happening. Even t

I never understood this argument. Yeah they have different departments, but wouldn’t it be better (for us, Firefox users) to fire the virtue signaling marketing types and funnel the money into developing their dying browser? Oh wait, that’s

Typescript works fine with it's extensions to the language. In fact, I can't imagine how it would not work fine - that would be a serious issue in the official compiler or tools. It's the other tools that author is/was u

If you get to do it - let HN know. I like the idea but despise the dark patterns that author employed in his work.

Have you considered that using a wireless keyboard and other tech is OK under their threat model? I use one at home and I honestly can not see any downside to it.

Of course you do. I was not attacking you, but just wondering what do you consider to be a superior past time than creating art. The fact that you have to hide behind the mask of anonymity tells me everything though, so thank you.

Can we see some of the things you've created in your own free time that are used by hundreds of millions of people then? And of course it is relevant! That's what you say in your parent comment, right?
