Of all the people in tech I know as friends or professionals I know of exactly one guy who is diligent about comparing checksums and it's the same guy with a multi thousand dollar homelab. Absolutely nobody is doing this frequently un

If Apple didn't expect users to use this feature then they shouldn't have released it (or advertised it at WWDC no less) in the first place. It's like selling a manual transmission car with a broken clutch and then complainin

These are my favorite coding projects. No business case, no practicality for non-developers (or developers for that matter), no long term support, no problem solving. Just a love/hate letter to software and the absurdity it brings to o

A lot of people are focusing on the Bluetooth aspect of this which seems to be the most inconsequential part of it. Of course you need to connect to the brain device remotely; what do you want, a USB port on top of your head? Or should we g

Data entry will probably be obliterated as you will just be able to insert rows into databases or spreadsheets in a few milliseconds rather than needing to type out entries from papers or receipts. There are already ML solutions to this but

This is difficult to say because pong involves moving components while the box stays still. In order to play pong the monkey must first estimate where the ball will go and then give the command to move the cursor. This indicates that Neural

I find it incredibly strange that people are talking about this vote as though the score is settled. It's literally the very first day - how can you possibly know the end result right now? Regardless of where you stand on the issue it

At a risk of sounding holier-than-thou, this is why I never cared to apply to FAANG like my fellow CS students did. You can spend your entire career doing useful, impactful work that helps millions of people and all it takes is one out of t

Odd argument. SMS is a hellscape to DIY (especially financially), email even more so with DKIM. If by SMS/email you mean "Twilio" or "Mailchimp," well, that's no different than using a third party push service.

HackerNews, I guess, not NewsForHackers (:P) Although I do think that kind of rule of thumb is dumb. I've read plenty of materials with titles like that that have been informative and well written.

Because essentially 100% of web pages that request push notification access are garbage tabloids that nobody cares about. No push notifications on mobile Safari means that there is no incentive to build mobile web apps that function similar

iOS dev since 2014 here. So many of my app ideas would have been completed 2-5x quicker if mobile Safari supported push notifications. It is unreasonable gatekeeping.

Is it really that hard to log in again? Using a password manager it's basically two clicks to autofill the right account and hit the submit button. Login limits are a good thing. It means that the chances of someone taking over your ac

I started playing Roblox back in 2009 as a 10 year old. I think you're wrong; to this day I still remember spending time in skateparks and Heli-Wars and Person299's Minigames. Not all of those games are around anymore but the play

Conversely, if you are providing a web based service on the public Internet and can't be assed to drop a five line text file in your home directory, you probably should not be running a server on the public Internet.

This answer suffers from Americentrism. Practically every country in the world has some form of accessible mental health care. OP did not include their location, so why assume they are American? Yes, it is true if OP lives in America then t

Of course, you can explain your way out of that one too: The aliens found out we got smartphones, so they decided to stop making appearances now that they know they can be recorded.

It was my understanding that ULA was a joint alliance rather than an individual company? Isn't it comprised of Boeing and Lockheed Martin among others? Wouldn't Bezos have to buy it from them?

I don't understand, what use is a REST API with no state? Who is making remote HTTP calls for calculating e.g. math equations or unit conversions? A stateless REST API is completely useless; just do everything locally. For everything e

Tesla probably has the best solution to this so far; they have cameras around the car that record movement and send it to the cloud. A tracking system would work only until thieves figure out how to disable it; at which point it just become

I don't understand why nobody asked OP the exact date and time this picture was taken, which they would certainly have if they are the original photographer. With a date and time you can easily cross reference press schedules (released

I know that the general consensus seems to be that corporations despise unions because it inhibits their unrestrained profits, but I have a pet theory as to why American corporations specifically avoid unionization whilst other corporations
