I was able to determine that someone with the exact same bag had taken mine from baggage claim and retrieve it from them before they left the airport with it. We both had much better vacations as a result. I’m going to keep mine in my lugga

It always amuses me when the API link in the footer floats up as a submission every few years.

I think Apple is transparent about Always on VPN (blocking traffic except over the tunnel) requiring provisioning using MDM tools. Apple Configurator is free and allows anyone to set this up. Any other VPN is just best effort. https:/

The host should pay the same penalty as the guest if they cancel. No refund policy for me? Then pay the full amount to me when you cancel.

I’ll wait to see the details but modern messaging apps are super complex and have tons of features. The odds of a third party implementing them all (and correctly) is low. Instead it’ll be like how iMessage “interoperates” with SMS, where n

That’s just the API. I no longer work on HN, but as of 2016 it was still flat files (s-exprs) on a ZFS dataset.

Just pick a good password and don’t reuse it elsewhere. HN is super aggressive about rate limiting attempts, so brute force isn’t really a risk.

My big problem with HTTP basic auth in 2022 (squints at Netgear router) is that in Edge/Chrome 1Password can’t auto complete it. It gets really annoying really quickly.

If you refuse to install the desktop client, and just take calls in the browser, then you can close the tab when the meeting ends.

Comment item ids are sequential (unless that’s changed since I last looked). You can perform relative ordering operations using them just like you could dates.

It’s been interesting to see the ecosystem around GraphQL experience the same problems and finally reach parity with oData.

Isn’t the easiest solution here for companies to register their own domain? Why be company.service.tld and not just company.tld? What are these businesses doing for email?

Ubiquiti has really fallen far. The 5.x series of controller with the AP AC (S)HD was great, but everything since has been hot garbage. The 6.x series of controllers is still basically a public beta and riddled with bugs. The newer MediaTek

I’m going to reply to a few sibling comments at once: Yes, they could upstream drivers, but they won’t. It’s not in their best interest. I’m taking about what could be done in spite of this. Given that they won’t upstream drivers, if the

Qualcomm is only able to obstruct in this way because Linux doesn’t keep the kernel driver ABI stable for any fixed period of time. If Android used FreeBSD and Qualcomm shipped drivers for the latest build when the SoC was released, you’d h

Will this play out like it did in Palo Alto? There, the landscaping services switched to small generators on little carts, pulled behind the new, electric leaf blowers. Still gas, still loud, still polluting - just one layer of indirection.

Can't strip it if it's not there. Everything after my name is the comment, and you have no way to know.

If you control your own email routing, by using your own mail server, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, etc, you can choose whatever convention you want. How would you know to strip everything after my first name?

If you use a product from the marketplace the vendor of the product gets your contact information. This doesn't seem controversial. Was contacting the user a bad call by Ubuntu? Maybe, but I bet they track this kind of thing.

If HN ends up moving to the CS runtime I'd love to hear a high level summary of what work it required and how the new runtime performs.

Or, discuss in chat but make sure to end with a summary email detailing the relevant decisions. Maybe include a link to the chat so you can find it in the future.

I don’t see how this is a bad thing? Albertson’s, a national grocery chain, goes all in with a single vendor (instacart) of an ancillary service (delivery) for efficiency. It’s frustrating to see this portrayed as some local chain respondin

To get the best performance and proper lock ordering for concurrent updates I usually need to resort to using a variety of MSSQL only SQL extensions. (Lock hints, isolation levels, specific join methods, etc) Is there a list of exactly what

It’s less insane than you might think: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(operating_syste... I agree rust is probably better suited. Or Apple could make their own memory safe language. They’re clearly capable
