On AWS, S3 has a downloader-pay option since basically forever. Maybe a non-technical user would be baffled by this, but a HN user won’t have trouble paying for the download using their existing AWS account. This would be a fine solution if

Probably means hiring someone who has more knowledge about PSUs and especially about having two simultaneous PSUs. There are questions like: when you press the power button how do the two PSUs turn up and in what sequence? How do you deal w

A pretty high percentage. But that’s only because the ad goes to the same destination as the first organic search result. Just search for a brand whose web address you don’t know, and usually both the ad and the first results goes to the br

In America all payments are trivial to chargeback anyways. We ought to have liability shifting. A long time ago there was a liability shift where if a merchant uses the magnetic stripe on a card equipped with a chip, then the merchant is un

If this system is ubiquitous stealing your card number would be useless. Your card number becomes a user name like jonkoops that you would have no qualms sharing.

There is a 3DSecure system for existing Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. After typing your card numbers, the transaction doesn’t immediately go through but you are also redirected to the bank’s system. Banks can ask you to use a hard

Of course I use jj every day. In fact it improves on mercurial by eliminating the need to run `hg evolve` because it just auto-evolves for you.

Microblogging in the fediverse somehow does not trend towards social pathologies. I just don’t ever feel the need to shorten my posts because the word limit is generally generous enough for significant nuance. It’s like HN: comments tend to

I scanned an entire book in 2016. It was way faster than scanning with the phone in my pocket. It’s just not ergonomic to use a general purpose device (a phone) instead of a specialized device (dedicated scanner).

Incredibly common when you write code faster than your colleague or manager can review them. You always have lots of branches and sometimes the branches implement interrelated functionality.

In my opinion, the Tesla Solar Roof really appealed to people who wanted good looks. They probably already have their “forever” homes and are not thinking of moving at all. It is more about the emotional attachment to this part of your home

Okay so the same operation with git is an esoteric flag but it’s easy in mercurial. Got it. Which has the better UX then? > It’s trivial to separate that result into two or more steps Okay first, tell me how to separate it into two or mo

Jujutsu took the best parts about mercurial and enabled these to be used with git and git forges. Once I had gotten used to jujutsu I didn’t really miss mercurial.

I’ve never met a single person who can use git to move a commit and its descendants from one parent to another. This requires using the extremely unintuitive `git rebase --onto A B C` invocation. The only exception are magit users who are d

Reverse what? Let’s take curl as an example. Daniel Stenberg wrote about how he had to stop curl’s bug bounty program due to prevalent AI slop[0]. He also wrote about how he eventually restarted security bug reports without a bounty[1]. It

I have never worked at Facebook but I have always thought of Critique as the best code review tool I’ve used. It’s way better than GitHub. A few things I miss: (1) it has convenient and intuitive pure-keyboard navigation; (2) you can reply

I’m no longer at Google and I use jj for my git repo at my current workplace. It’s great as it’s similar to hg but slightly more convenient (no need to manually `hg evolve`). It’s also great that it’s a skill that’s transferable to the worl

When I was there all the cool people used mercurial. Git5 was creaky and didn’t work well but hg worked brilliantly. The cool people used hg to do stacked CLs so they were productive even when blocked by code review. Fun fact: This particul

There is an internal website that tracks statistics of tool use, where “tool” is defined liberally and includes emacs. It would be tracked if you just (require 'google) somewhere in your initialization code.
