I've only seen the flight data change, not the code itself.

Italy solved this. Five years ago, a new law enforced ID-checking when you enter any big events (like concerts with an audience larger than 5000 people). Tickets have your name on it, and you can only change the name or resell them through

> everyone is here I think this is the answer. Once upon a time we were way fewer people, and many interests were shared among those people (because we pretty much were all "geeks"). We've always had trolls, spammers, etc.

> only the desktop allows moving icons around freely I'm pretty sure Windows used to allow you to move icons around, I clearly remember making a mess on some Windows 98 folders. Maybe they removed that feature recently?

Shout out to OsmAnd, it's a great app. Worth the money for the premium version.

In other words: piracy is illegal because it hurts the content producer (they don't get any money). But if there's no way to pay for that content, no damage is done, hence piracy and "copyright violation" should be 100%

Piracy is the only realiable history preservation tool.

I think you're right. People never had all the content we can access today. So the real competitors of those few big providers are now the millions of people creating new content every day on social media, YouTube, etc.

I feel like responsive websites killed that magic, because now it's way too complicated to make interesting designs.

Thanks! To be honest I don't agree with that rule, but maybe HN is not the place to discuss Wikipedia's policies on sensitive subjects.

Speaking of changing name and identity, Wikipedia doesn't have any information about her original name. It's strange that this information is missing, from a purely encyclopedic point of view. In fact, I cannot even find this info

Ohh I remember Google Directory, good times. They closed it down for good in 2011. Dmoz was also closed, but it seems like there's a "new" Dmoz called Curlie [1], founded by some of the original team members. [1] https:&#x2F

Speaking of non-English cultures, do Japanese case insensitive systems differentiate between hiragana and katakana? Because, in some ways, the two syllabaries remind me of uppercase and lowercase alphabets.

You're right, unless you use the new S3 "Directory buckets" [1], which make the entire thing even more confusing! [1] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/direct...

I can't trust myself using S3 (or any other AWS service). Nothing is straightforward, there are too many things going on, too much documentation that I should read, and even then (as OP shows) I may be accidentally and unknowingly expo

Yep [1] is also a new interesting search engine, based on the index that Ahrefs [2], a SEO toolkit, has been keeping for 13+ years. The only downsite is that it's slower than DDG and Google. [1] https://yep.com/ [2] h

I also wonder this. It's a recurring style from '90s software.

How long has the Save for Web been "Legacy"? I feel like it's been there for a long time.

The fact itself that programmers keep insisting on writing "IANAL" is maybe an example of that. A court would probably not agree on the fact that writing "IANAL", not the full sentence, is a sufficient disclaimer.

iPadOS is still mainly a fork of iOS, a glorified mobile interface. They should really switch to a proper macOS system, now that the specs allow for it.

We need to collectively stop using Google, but the alternatives are just not as good for some things. The best one is probably Kagi, but let's be real: "normal" people would never pay for a search engine service. Well, "

Yes, I agree. It's a fun novelty the first 5 seconds, then it becomes completely annoying. BTW: the movement of the small cursors is streamed live from the server, I think it represents the current mouse position from other readers.
