Is not banning books "woke" now? The word also never appears in the post so your summary is disingenuous.

Easier to write maybe (when I take notes just for myself I use a messy mix of cursive and print that no one else could read) but I think it's harder to read, especially for wide audience. Depends on what you optimize for I suppose. I a

Running headless chrome and scraping the photos via dev tools sounds like good way to get your account banned by some automation with no human support to help you :/ It's really stupid that the API doesn't support this. For n

rsync.net also offers slightly cheaper plans if you don't need all the features/support, just Borg archives: https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html

I specifically use some .dev domains because of HSTS. Some of us don't cling to http and I prefer an error rather than transparent fallback to unsafe protocol if I screw up the config. The first point is valid but that is mostly ICANN&

Presumably star positions in nighttime photographs could be used to determine location/time. Not very precisely but it could be enough to say the picture definitely wasn't taken at time/place that is claimed. Edit: or even si

Always the same whataboutism in these threads. Do we have to solve all things at once, or do you hold some weird belief that the world must be absolutely fair? For what it's worth I would answer your question with yes, but this questio

They have to wrap all of this in ton of FUD to make sure users outside EU don't get jealous and demand the same options.

Unfortunately many subreddits are already being targeted with astroturfing. It still works for niche things but be careful and review the account age and posting history of those who praise a product.

> DeepFlow can even analyze code performance through network profiling under old version kernels (2.6+). This is an interesting call-out, the last release of 2.6 is from 2011. I wonder who is still running that in production.

Teenage Engineering is always like this. The hardware looks really cool (aesthetically I mean; no value judgment on quality or such) but they seem to have looked at Apple presentations and though those are not pretentious enough.

+1 but even Boston Dynamics stuff is too fancy and animal shaped. Here is a great example of utilitarian robot design that looks much cheaper and more efficient than bi/quadrupeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox7AcA

That narrative is idiotic, sure pirates might buy stolen drives, same as gangs use knives. Stopping one won't affect the other.

That book, similar to most of the other "popular psychology/economics", could be a three page pamphlet that would cover all the ideas. The rest of the book is just endless repetition of that with countless anecdotes to make i

That is true for the internal implementation details but HashSet provides a different API, it is not just a type alias. So you don't have to worry about semantics of what the values mean (like the bools in Go), and it has no size overh

I've played with this and while I much prefer it to verilog (and even migen) it is still too implicit for me. Most of my time spent building VGA toy was wasted debugging wrong counter wrapping and similar. I would like to try out somet

HN is more than one person, but these two opinions are somewhat compatible: patents should not exist, but as long as they do Apple needs to comply with them, not be given a pass.

The pipes are insulated and I didn't want to cut into that, but maybe a small hole for a sensor wouldn't be too bad. But as you say, timer works good enough and that means little motivation to continue to work on it -- countless o

I have a similar one. Our boiler has a pump to cycle hot water around the house - this makes it so you get warm water right away when you turn on a faucet and also prevents pipes in exterior walls from freezing in the winter. This stopped w

Love how the bandwidth spikes ~10x from HH:59 to HH:00. Looks like people still write crons with manually set trigger times that align on the hour, rather than randomly spreading them out.

Ctrl-f "zero" shows nothing on the homepage nor the linked pages I checked. Also zero knowledge has a very specific meaning in cryptography and I don't see how it applies here, or where the OP got this for the title. Yes this
