On the other hand, it means that you can assume anything mentioning AI is overhyped and probably isn't as great as they claim. That can be slightly useful at times.

Unfortunately, the opposite of that is everybody trying to file random things that aren't actionable. See the collection of mail sent to the curl maintainer… https://github.com/bagder/emails/blob/main&#x2

Wasn't that basically why the Japanese cars got popular way back? Because they were cheaper and more efficient (and gas was getting expensive)? This time around the Japanese have been assimilated; it looks like it'll have to be th

The keepassxc CLI reopens the database separately; it's actually possible to use git-credential-keepassxc† to do the scripting instead because it acts more like a browser (so it interacts with the already running instance of KeepassXC)

At least you can still do this with third-party software like https://github.com/otya128/winevdm I guess? I imagine Microsoft doesn't see the returns for it to develop something they'll have to support for de

F-Droid will use your original signatures as long as they can rebuild the binary to be identical (excluding the signature), to verify that everything is open source. They only discard your signatures if they can't confirm that, to avoi

Wouldn't you still need the password database, plus the password or whatever used to open that database? The two factors are related though (a good keylogger should be able to get both).

Yeah, people don't seem to actually care. The Bitnami images were quite popular, but looking inside it they all just pull random tarballs from their server, and nothing seemed to indicate where those things came from.

When you press-and-hold, the menu pops up, and you swipe in a direction for an action. Think of it more as gesture navigation with an on-screen aid to show you what gestures you can do. There used to be a thing nearly a decade ago to do thi

Sometimes I interact with my phone on the car when I'm a passenger though. It'll be hard to tell when the user is a driver. (I obviously don't do that when driving… I even avoid podcasts because that uses too much attention.)

You may have pressed the button, but the actual commit action was done by GitHub's infrastructure, hence they are listed as committer. Think of it as an acknowledgment that maybe they were hacked and made to do the commit even if you d

I have a device where the app switcher is literally broken. I don't think it's due to gesture navigation, because the gesture works fine on a device from a different vendor (so I think I know how to do it correctly). So yeah. Leno

The devices talk to Haier's servers, which Home Assistant (or rather a third-party integration) then talks to. It's dumb that it's required, but at least Haier's servers are involved.

Just go to the bottom of the integration listing on Home Assistant's website and skip anything with a category that involves cloud. When companies are providing things for free that has an ongoing cost, something is going to break even

Scratch off everything that requires internet access (in this case the Home Assistant integration talked to the vendor's API servers). See also previous discussion on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39044932

Looking at their website though there's a lot of showing up at their retail location to do hearing tests, so that might not work quite as well.

Isn't that the actual function of (big-brand) consultants? They roam from company to company, sharing current "best" practices, and tout that as one of the advantages of hiring consultants.

I like MPL too (depending on context), but do be aware that (per section 10) Mozilla is allowed to ship new versions of the license and people can choose to use those new versions in place of the version you licensed under. This is not inhe

Unless you have a Phillips Respironics, in which case it helpfully adds bits of foam (pre-recall) or formaldehyde (post-recall) to your air stream. I realize that Phillips says it's under limits, but they aren't really trust induc

That's the thing — it's my bank and it does have transactional mail too. I don't expect Google to be able to tell between those. It's nudging me towards switching banks.

My bank sends (non-transactional) email to me with an unsubscribe link, then magically I get sent more even after going through the whole thing (to the screen where they confirm everything has been unsubscribed). It's hard to confirm e

It's really nice to have the actual reasoning in the commit history though. But maybe I was just scarred by the project that switched project management software like 5 times over its lifetime (but kept all of the commits) though.

Looking at the Wikipedia article, it looks like it's not that popular in Asia and Africa. Lots of places seems to have observed it at some point in the past, though a lot of them seem to have been last century. https://en.m.

Of course, that's kind of also why nVidia is trouncing AMD in ML/GPGPU. AMD chased after the big iron, but nVidia got stuff working on consumer hardware… (their early lead definitely helped too, of course)

A couple years back they noted that they were looking at having essentially cooling pipes _inside_ the chips. There hasn't been much noise in terms of commercialization, but that's the kind of extreme they were looking at. https:
