My Lenovo P1 has a fn button to disable the mic and a light showing if it's enabled or not. Not as good as a switch, but makes me confident some random application isn't listening at least.

Most people care about the features, there's a really small amount of people for which the tech stack matters. Negligible, I'd guess. So no, you're not doing anyone any favours here, just spreading negativity.

What I mainly liked about TS is that it's basically plain js with some typeinfo sprinkled on top. So no barrier of entry for existing js developers. Now I work on a project with Elm for the frontend. It's not as easy to just jump

To be fair to taneq, the reason I asked is because I used to freedive so used to holding my breath for long, and wonder if that skill yield any kind of advantage.

Yes, I agree, that's why I also asked in the context of a person actively training in holding their breath. Could it help with cardio?

by maaaats 8y ago
In the article it's stipulated it's because of gravity. But it's also mentioned in passing that swimmers hold their breath. I wonder, is there any effect in being able to hold your breath for long when it comes to cardio? As

Most of these games are constraint-games, including minesweeper. So I wouldn't be surprised if they can be reduced to each other, or at least sort-of. When playing the puzzle collection by Tatham linked here, I often find that new pat

Slitherlink is incredible, you learn to recognize more and more patterns. And when you have mastered one variant, you can try with honeycomb pattern instead of squares or other shapes to explore new patterns. Light up/Akari I have neve

Wondering as well. Could they be incredible in some cardio sport because they could push themselves. Or would they push too hard? Or is the type of pain different so they feel discomfort same as we do? What about holding your breath? The pa

In Norway I think it's ~30 USD per 10ml vial of the brand in the article. But once your yearly medical expenses (any) reach above ~300 USD, you stop paying and the rest is free ("freecard").

In Norway, "slow tv" is a huge deal. The latest project is watching someone change segments on this huge clock for 24 hours. Background: https://translate.google.no/translate?hl=no&sl=no&tl=en&u=ht...

Is there an other article with some background / explanation what Google did in this case? That they were "blocking others" doesn't tell me much. Edit: The linked article is now updated, at the time it was basically just

I do use Firefox as my private browser, but at work I switch between multiple browsers and various test environments. So I have lots of almost identical urls where Chrome completes something I don't want to be completed, or pretends it

The conspiracytheorist in me thinks Chrome's address bar is intenionally crippled to make you do a Google search instead. It's so so different from how well it works in Firefox. It also breaks the rule in the article about not sel

Why the hate? Many communities have nicknames for the users. HNers, redditors, slashdotters, imgurians.

What are the dirty tricks you're mentioning? And I'm not shocked about your comment, as I don't really believe it. I don't think HN should be a place to spread gossip and possibly lies like this.

This article contains really no good reasons and spends many words to say that unnamed alternatives exists. One argument is that there are no new big features. But that is completely normal when things become stable.
