   Presumably they’re only suing about Instagram, which is why it’s called out explicitly?

   I’ve noticed the Office and OneDrive web apps now make it subtly harder to download your files. All part of their lockin strategy I suppose.

   “Solve” means “solve the halting problem for” (i.e. prove whether it will halt or not), and “exhaustively” means “for all possible Turing machines with a given number of states”

   I’m assuming this another… misguided… attempt by the security services to make their jobs easier. The grip that intelligence communities apparently have on our governments is ridiculous. Why do they have such influence?

   Typescript and CSS are orthogonal. I think you’ve misunderstood what typescript is, or had a brain fart / typo.

   Thought this was interesting - while I broadly agree with his politics, I'm not sure what point they were making at a Python conference.

    I think the description of SIGWINCH is subtly wrong. AIUI, it’s sent by the terminal program to the child process (e.g. the shell). It is true if by “terminal program” you mean “program that runs in a terminal” (and arguably there are thing

    You’re not electing members of the electoral college though right? You’re electing who you want the electoral college members to vote for.

    TFA says that you were right before 17. There is a lot of fuzziness in the words we use.

    There’s some good evidence that many carbon offsetting programmes don’t work. E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37660256 And there’s probably an argument that taking flights increases general demand for them and tha

    Theory: maybe because the HN community values avoiding comments that don't have much substance or are redundant with things that have already been said - and there are only so many ways of saying "wow this is so cool", wherea

    Surely having a hole in the roof because of the ejection changes the aerodynamics significantly. I don't really know anything about how planes work, but wouldn't that change its trajectory if the controls are all left the same?

    I would like to give a strong recommendation for https://pre-commit.ci (no relation, just a happy user). The idea is that you write hooks (or use pre-existing ones) that check (and fix, where possible) your code before you commi

    The auto-capitalisation HN does to headlines seems completely unnecessary to me.

    I was assuming the file manager would have to include the code for the async abstraction. But of course it could be just part of the async runtime / standard library. Still, a file manager doesn't seem like it would really need th

    Interestingly, while skimming the front page, my brain autocorrected this to "GPT-4 is getting worse". We all have similar confirmation bias, I guess.

    It seems like their strategy the last few years has been to pretty much just downgrade last year's Pro model to be this year's non-pro. The only differences between the 14 Pro and the 15 are: - no telephoto lens - USB-C - smaller

    Change the bootloader and /bin/init so that it captures the disk encryption password as you enter it. It could then send it to me, or add a second password that I know so that I can decrypt it with later physical access. Actually,
