What has actually changed here? I'm perhaps not the best person to be thinking about this, because I routinely use the nightlies to test things, but weren't many of those things in the stable already? The more exciting thing in my

This is really partially the government's fault. Parents are fined and (in a minority of cases) imprisoned for taking children out of school in term-time. Usually it's the ones who are honest that end up getting in trouble, and th

It seems like a fairly mediocre institution, at least in terms of research output: https://www.nature.com/nature-index/institution-outputs/gene... Not entirely surprised we'd never heard of it.

NIHR's research is genuinely world-leading. Any output from "a pretty decent school of 25k students" (U of Kentucky) pales in comparison to the research outputs from studies that NIHR grants fund, many of which are internatio

Anyone in the know knows where to look to find out the platform before it's "sanctioned for the public to be informed about it". And no, there isn't always time to stroll to the train, I've seen some really, really

It was broken from the UK, so it must've been worse than that. I couldn't load the status page (and now that I can, it's all green anyway - and has been throughout the incident).

It's all a bit of a licensing nightmare as well, if you want to embed the maps. If you want actual FOSS, you need to be aware of which libraries to avoid (i.e. don't touch anything Mapbox with a bargepole anymore - to be honest, t

It's a trade-off though, isn't it? Everyone seems upset about OCSP as of late, but the domains being sent in plaintext is not exactly limited to just OCSP - we've had this with SNI and DNS. The advantages of OCSP are that you

I've found Firefox to produce better PDFs than Chrome does, for what it's worth. There are some CSS properties that Chrome/Skia doesn't honour properly (e.g. repeating-linear-gradient) or ends up generating PDFs from tha

If your monitoring is good, you can still stagger it over a number of hours instead of days.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before folks are able to fingerprint the responses that come back from the actual service's origin vs Google's service, or perhaps by abusing the health-check that exists at /heal

For some bizarre reason, Microsoft Teams is the registered file association handler for *HTML* files on my (Linux) machine. I have no idea how on earth that happened, but I do not think I did it.

It's also non-deterministic, right? So what does it prove if I get a different answer to someone on Twitter?

If you had a form where I could enter my email address, I'd be interested in at least being notified when it drops, so I could go about taking a look at it off the back of your HN description of what it does.

The site where they've put the beavers is a small parcel of land (less than 0.04 sq mi) next to an out-of-town retail park and industrial estate. I'm reasonably familiar with the site, and have walked the canal more a handful of t

How does validation work with the approach that the author advocates for? Is this something "n8n" does? I've gone to learn more about it, and it describes itself as an "AI-native workflow automation" tool. What the

Must admit this seems like a very odd way of doing it, to me. Normally JetBrains are pretty decent at supporting OSS endeavours. At present, OSS Java libraries can use Qodana Community, but OSS .NET libraries can't.

At some point, isn't there some responsibility that rests with manufacturers for choosing to continue to support known-insecure standards? How many browsers do you think support the TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL cipher?

I went to Open Data Camp in the UK in 2023 and there was an interesting talk from two attendees with Type 1 diabetes about how locked down a lot of these devices are from a data perspective, which seems like a real shame - particularly when
