Yes, in business money doesn't usually change hands without acknowledgement from both parties involved. There is no "convenience" in providing only half of a contractual exchange.

There's a perfect example of why an app might be better than the web page.
903.
by ksaj 4y ago
I don't disagree, because I prefer web things on the web myself, and the idea that app updates might be two steps away from the web version really irks me. But everyone has their routines. Some people like the self-contained feeling of

I'm not sure. In Canada, Ontario at least, I noticed our liquor store always asks "Do you want your receipt?" It's not a convenience question. Either they throw it away for you, or they put it in the bag and you throw

Why are there HN apps? Why is there an app for everything Google provides on the web? Why is there .... etc I could really go on forever because your question is not very well thought out. I know you're asking this question from an ext

I grew up near a few of these. Well, they were far apart from each other, but along the same highway. When I was a child, I was pretty amazed at how narrow yet tall they are. I just looked them up on Google Maps, and they're still ther

This is a PDF file. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that should be a PDF file, so unfortunately I won't be opening it. This sounds like it might be about the same thing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc&#x2F

It is apparently sold as an anti-aging supplement, which exacerbates the issue since those in the anti-aging interest group are also in the "old enough to be concerned about cancers" group. As well, NR is plant derived, versus the

Yes, especially since other articles link it to breast cancer. So this is one of those links you might click only to find out you already knew about it because of those articles.

I glanced through it. I didn't learn anything new, except the definition of bloat. The raw source wasn't available when I was doing this, so I learned it entirely by reverse engineering, and documentation. Ironically I learned how

I didn't write a blog about it, but the code for the boot sector and installer (dropper) is here: https://github.com/ksaj/antivirus-mbr I separated it out because it was useful for all versions of DOS at the time,

There was a pair of books that were instrumental to me: Undocumented PC and Undocumented DOS. Those books taught me so many tricks! I still remember the DWIM (Do what I mean) interrupt they used as the demonstration of how each interrupt wa

Yes, stealth viruses did report memory without their space, by monitoring the read, and returning the "clean" value instead. Boot sector viruses couldn't do anything like that because they load and run before DOS enters the p

I studied MS-DOS inside and out (quite literally). One thing that I always thought was interesting was all the stuff that gets packed in the first 100h bytes before a .COM file's entry point, called the Program Segment Prefix (PSP). It

Trying to sleep when you have a bad cold makes one overly aware of this cycle. It is bliss when the unplugged side gives way for air.

Funny enough, I've had many a layover there. I don't recall ever seeing him (it's not a small airport, so no surprise) but I probably would have sought him out if I knew about him. Anyway, it's not the worst airport I&#x

Semi-related: I wonder how many of the people who joined the mass defection from Facebook a decade or so ago are back on Facebook again.

It was someone impersonating Daniel Radcliffe. Weird Al made a joke around it as if it was Daniel impersonating him. Elon is just doing what he said he would be doing with impersonators that don't specify that they are parody accounts.

This is plausible. At the end of my teen years, I was totally broke. I'd moved to "the city" to follow my job - the company lost the contract where I lived, and they promised to keep me employed if I moved. So I did, and got

She lived in a small Ontario town where lots of writers abound. Now she lives 3 time zones away in Victoria BC, yet still maintains those friendships. Of course Victoria is a writer's haven, so I don't think she's ever coming

He's lamenting the advertisers "on hold" and whatnot. I think he will either do what he can to sell Twitter, or he'll fold entirely. That sounds pretty dismal, but don't forget one of his first post-ownership posts

It is true. Our alerts have no respect for geography. You can be woken by an alert at 4 in the morning over a custody battle two cities away. To me, this kills its entire purpose. The boy who called wolf, and all... I haven't had one i

My mother writes short stories and poetry. She isn't all that Internet savvy, but she had a knack for finding local groups of writers to chum with. She managed to get published a couple of times that way, so it seems to work. The human

If it was actually localized, the volume would be okay. But I live in Toronto and sometimes get amber alerts from Hamilton for parental custody disputes. That's definitely not how that system should be conducted.

I tested co-pilot initially with Hello World in different languages. In Lisp, it gave me verbatim code from a particular tutorial, which was made obvious because their code had "Hello <tutorialname>" where <tutorialname&g

I wish I thought of that when I had the co-pilot trial. If that works, I might have had a different opinion of my experience with it.

If you pay either price every month as a subscription, what does that $20 verification thing do other than expensively add a little graphic after your name? Having a subscription at all assumes they already know who you are via however you

This reminds me of the black fax campaigns back in the 90's. Basically they were Denial of Service, because the objective was to send endless pages of black pages through fax so you would either use up their ink, or burn out their ther

This is a little indirect, but if you have Photoshop or The Gimp, you can use the selection tool, invert it, and then delete the background, which leaves you with the foreground only, and a transparent background.
