You've got it the wrong way around. 1 Euro buys you around 1.136 dollars at the moment.

Can you share why it's wrong? I learned the same thing as the OP and would love to learn more. As far as I learned, the more harmful part is discharging to very low levels, especially if you use it until it shuts off and then don'

A colleague of mine has that and the trackpoint on it is useless. I tried it and it feels super stiff, no acceleration, and the mouse buttons are very hard to press, too. The keyboard is very nice if you like buckling springs. Buy their nor

I think both compilers give good error messages (C++14 and C++17). Sometimes one is clearer, sometimes the other, so what I usually do if I can't immediately figure out what the compiler is complaining about is to try the other one and

The article is probably talking about "ESL milk" (extended shelf life), which is most fresh milk sold in Germany nowadays. It doesn't have the change in taste that UHT milk has compared to fresh milk. Because it keeps longer

The Netflix web interface hs a mute button that only applies to trailers , which the poster I was replying to was referring to. And yes, since you ask, my TV’s mute button doesn’t do anything when speakers are connected via the optical cab

That option doesn’t exist on my TV. I think it’s limited to the web interface.

In Glowing Bear, meta-g jumps to the search bar that filters buffers as you type. Now that I think about it, a fuzzy search with ranking would be a nice improvement to reduce the number of characters needed.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. Setup is indeed more complicated than it should be for Glowing Bear. I would love to have an automated solution for it, I just don't want to be the one to build it :)

This is a bit of a shameless plug, but I just made a Show HN post about Glowing Bear, which is a web front-end for the WeeChat IRC client: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18725038 . It's entirely implemented as cli

Hey HN! Glowing Bear has come up a few times in comment threads over the years, but with the Slack story on the front page, I thought now might be a good time to actually post a thread about it :) Glowing Bear is a web frontend for WeeChat,

Well to be fair if “Millenial” is used in a caption then it’s probably about a man, halving the number of possibilities who it could be to just, dunno, a billion people or so? Because if it’s about a woman, she’s likely to just be called “w

Yup that’s what I meant. The right click -> add as search engine creates a bookmark which doesn’t get the blue highlight when using it. That distinction just doesn’t make sense to me.

Firefox lockbox does. It’s still in beta afaik.

by lorenzhs 8y ago
Yeah, but the indicator that you’re using such a bookmark when typing “wp Foo” in the address bar is really poor. When you use the OpenSearch search engine integration you can also set a keyword but it’s highlighted properly. Downside is th

Well obviously they should have improved their security practices years ago. Nonetheless, they incurred the costs now, as a result of self-reporting a data breach (which is mandatory). That's the number that's relevant as a deterr

Well, the fine is only 20k€ because they were very cooperative, quick to fix the worst issues, and promised to continue improving their security further. According to the Data Protection Officer's statement their total expenses were in

They paid a 20.000€ fine. How is that extremely large?

Note that the actual cost to Knuddels is much higher, because you also have to include the cost of implementing proper security measures. The Data Protection Officer's statement ( https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de

Closest one I know of is the RockPro64 ( https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=61454 ), iirc it starts at $59 (2GB RAM) but you need to add the cost for a PSU, eMMC, an eMMC flasher, a heatspreader, etc to that.

Check out https://lockbox.firefox.com/ , which is an iOS app that syncs with Firefox Sync, and integrates with the iOS 12 password management interface. It doesn't do bookmarks, but it should fulfill part "b)"
