As a kid 25+ years ago, it was fun tweaking use flags, compiling with Intel cc, diving into every menu in that blue kernel configuration screen. System recompiles I think took 4 hours back then. Learned so much back then and it can even be

I'm with you - the most disappointing was when asking Gemini, technically nano banana, for a PNG with transparent background it just approximated what a transparent PNG would look like in a image viewer, as an opaque background. ChatGP

There's capitalism and then there's communism. Both have proven to not work which leaves us with... Countries are bad but even the sci-fi authors know the only way to change this is literally an alien invasion. Until then, instead

To be a little fair to Microsoft, they have made it much harder to enable macros over the years. So when stuck with a bank's spreadsheet that requires a win32 macro to convert for upload, I blame the bank. Luckily grey market keys for

As it's flagged hoping the damage is done but in case anyone finds this - The original article starts with all-caps EDITORIAL:. It's rare to see such strong labeling but personally I couldn't find any facts in the piece and s

> For the use cases in this article, the best option is wasmtime-py. They seem to have gone with a WASI runtime. Though to me, the caveats after it, and throughout the article, make it seem like Wasm is more difficult to deal with than P

Email is one of the last open protocols around. git uses it in commit messages presumably because of that fact. Rob's co-worker at Google Vint always opines on the greatness of this openness. A well meaning message on an open protocol

I had the same reading, it sounded like Windows is worse now than Windows 95, which would be a hot take indeed. But it seems the intent was purely on these nagging aspects which have definitely gotten worse. It might be easier to swallow th

Had been running a coffee lake refresh 4 core for several years and as interested as I was in new platforms, especially AM5, the work of replacing motherboard never felt worth it. Now with the ram wars heating up, I just committed to that b

I'm more interested in the % of rust code that is marked unsafe. If you can write a kernel with 1% safe, that sounds pretty great. If the nature of dealing with hardware (AFAIK most of a kernel is device drivers) means something higher

Before clicking through I read the url as bloomber-glaw and thought it might be a phishing / fake news type of thing. Not a particularly useful comment but curious of others also have trouble reading that domain.

Thanks! I have it working in apps via fcitx5 no problem so "just" need to get it to kick in game. Getting that far was really easy though, clicking through some panels I summon with random keywords in the ... sorry I don't kn

At first wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that this is sarcasm but gave a skim through history and I guess it's just a committed anti-AI agenda. Personally I found the tone of the article quite genuine and the video at the end m

I don't remember so many non-tech or random posts on HN 10 years ago or so. I think now, as long as you're a self-proclaimed hacker, you can post basically anything. It's less consistent than most subreddits I've seen wh

This was good to read, thanks. Last experience with KDE is probably almost 30 years ago when it was so sluggish I quickly gave up on it. With Gnome being _the default_ in some sense given Ubuntu's control of desktop Linux, it never eve

One of Amazon's biggest growing segments is ads which agents circumvent. Owning the platform they are in a position to block and it's probably reasonable to. Google is in a much worse situation since their ads are on content they

I don't know about the commenter specifically but in general, using LLMs to format text is a game changer in the ability for English-as-Second-Language folks to contribute to tech conversations. While I get where some of the bias again

I think it's important Amazon remains stable and a quicker resolution would have been great. That being said, if many important services (the article mentions banking) are still single-point-of-failure in us-east-1, the least stable bu

Personally I find the $1800 sticker shock must be affecting public perception much more than durability issues. Or put another way, I suspect the people that buy this are buying a $1800 phone every year anyways and don't need to worry

I think there's some causation vs correlation here - AFAIK Microsoft didn't lead the hike in game prices, it was probably Nintendo? Either way given the strong inflation it seems likely this would have happened acquisition or not.

I also imagine the identity proof for asking GH support to archive the old repo would be lighter than for recovering an account entirely.

I haven't used Rubygems before but doesn't it allow publishing from a new repo? pypi allows updating publishing configs. A repo fork (and maybe more so the GitHub identify fork) is definitely not ideal but if your users can get up
