   I see that they claim all of their apps and libraries are open source[0]. But they only link to the OpenPGP libraries they're using. Is this actually open source? Following the "Open Source" footer link[1], here they only lin

   I would also agree that the common sense definition of open source should be public/accessible code. But FOSS is a well-established movement and anyone involved with software development should be well-acquainted with Free vs Open.

   Yep, and for games with anticheat, you can check this list[0] to see its compatibility with Linux. I've been running Gnome under Fedora for years, and the times I need to boot into Windows are becoming rarer as time goes on. It's

   Maximum Type Safety and Error Handling doesn't tell the interesting bit that it uses the type system to track errors. (And I really don't know what Maximum Type Safety is supposed to mean in the first place)

   What might a cross-platform GUI app look like with Swift? I'm assuming SwiftUI can't be used? Regardless, I'll definitely be reaching for Swift for one-off scripts. I've enjoyed the times I needed to use Swift for a Reac

   Sleep paralysis is a frightening experience, and the one suffering from it is both aware, and correct in their awareness, that they're awake. Article is describing something very different.

   Yep, I think the analogy would be better understood if it said they would stop the lock from functioning properly if the company had a suspicion that you were circumventing / reverse-engineering the lock.

    Is it, though? I think you have to define what your search engine is searching to make a claim like that. Internet Archive and Common Crawl (which I will say has its own incentives discouraging the discoverability of old sites through its m

    Yep; there may be a lack of incentive to preserve old sites, but what's worse are the ranking algorithms that prevent their discoverability in the first place.

    Do you happen to know where the meta study on this is from? I know of one paper that puts the blame on biomedical research[0], but it makes intuitive sense for the same to apply to social science. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

    If you suggest what they're correct in and how the replies support your theory, I think the downvotes would be rectified and everyone involved would leave with a better understanding of the topic.

    I do think people will have certain expectations when they hear "Mac app", though. Though at the same time, Electron is a bad word on HN. The ideal situation for marketing would be additional support for Windows/Linux so that

    Even for heavy smokers, vape shops will typically recommend 20mg for making the switch. Nobody needs 50mg+ at that level of concentration. With snus, as you've said, each individual pouch is like 1 - 6mg. I would get a massive head hig

    If they're buying disposable vapes, then it's likely on par with cigarettes in terms of price. That industry has been working hard on getting disposable vapes that last long enough and contain as much nicotine as possible. In my a

    I was able to set a local file for new windows, but it looks like there's no built-in way to set a custom URL for new pages, not even in about:config (v125.0.3, Fedora). :/ I may have to simply use the URL bar with data collection

    For me personally, I much prefer SvelteKit's routing/state management over React Router/Navigation and Redux. Reactive UI to accompany ThreeJS scenes is probably just as easy in both Threlte and R3F, though I would again pref

    Not quite; piracy of the paid DLC is one thing, but modding is to add songs (which should be read as, entire Beatsaber custom-made tracks) that otherwise are not available through any other avenues.
