Were you benefiting from the use of Xorg and are now missing something important?

This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last: the only reason I'm actually using iCloud Keychain is because, despite always turning it off and feeling like I needed to keep doing it over and over again every time I got a new

Humans are generally afraid of death, or have others they are fighting for; there are certainly humans that don't want power so much as they want to watch the world burn, but they seem to not intersect well with the set of humans who a

So, I know this isn't the point you were making--and I also certainly am not saying this correlation could mean what it would look to imply--but a little part of me read your comment and went "huh: so if the Japanese people '

This is only as you near the theoretical limit of density, though, right? At easy-to-achieve densities that we would be using in the foreseeable future, if we plotted their access times in these different configurations, wouldn't it--p

I think the argument would also be that you don't need a "large" startup to get something done.

This is probably what you mean, but I wasn't sure and then did the math: and if you take two 3:4s and put them side by side (as is being contemplated with 16:9 being split into two 8:9 panels) you get 6:4 aka 3:2 (so, this monitor). Fr

I always figured this would be the correct name for a tool designed to erase unwanted objects out of photos (whether using classic techniques or AI, whatever).

Clearly, we are going to have to do this in a scale (I keep wanting to say logarithmic but I know that isn't right) where 10 essentially maps to infinity, and you can only get asymptotically close to that; what we then really need is a

You plucked that quote from the comment you replied to but carefully didn't include the critical lead in: "If maintainer was actively building community and advocating use of his project". All the replies are hung up nitpicki

I mean, we can argue lots of things, I guess ;P, but an extension already has access to that authentication token, and pretending otherwise is a bit... "performative"? The expectation I have with an extension--as someone who used

But if you are a browser extension I would have expected you wouldn't need your own permissions at all: you would either be scripting the UI of the client to accomplish your goals or stealing its authentication.

No like, the point is that the only reason you (and I: I do this all the time, including with my open source software... like: no judgment) want to target some old version of glibc is so you can distribute that binary to people without cari

And yet, every time this comes up people come out to bash Firefox for not going far enough on privacy. The top comments on this HN post are all in that category, as the people who care about privacy actually care about privacy and Firefox&#

I just feel like they should be concentrating their time into adding features to Firefox which Google either will not or doesn't care to add to Chrome, not trying to compete with Google's entire business suite: that's a losin

Yeah, and people having families is pretty rare: no more than a few percent of their market :eyeroll:. The issue isn't that people don't want it: almost everyone wants it! The issue is that the alternatives to the iPad for its use

I mean, people learn silly things all the time; I think, often, learning the pattern behind something can make a thing much more transparent... I, too, struggled with this particular distinction until I realized that the choice of character

# is to the left of $ and removes the prefix. % is to the right of $ and removes the suffix.

I guess Google no longer gets the same high they used to get from merely shutting down their own products, so they have now moved on to shutting down other peoples' products.

I don't understand where this 2008 Android tablet storyline came from? I didn't mention Android, nor did I mention 2008, nor do I believe that there existed an Android tablet of any form in 2008?... I certainly owned some early An

My original iPad Pro from 2015 is still used and is still perfect for not just everything I want to do with it but always has no issue with new stuff... except, Apple finally decided that it won't get OS upgrades, and so the few bits o

FWIW, many email clients -- before Gmail dumbed down email forever and no one seems to understand that email replies form a tree anymore -- also had (and maybe some still do?) that way of viewing the world.

Let me be more specific: I don't understand why pac-man and fragments of chess pieces and race cars or alienate--essentially all of these sections of "game sprites", which is what jumped out at me as they dominate the first p

I don't understand why these are part of Unicode. Were they ever used as part of text? Why Pac-man but no Donkey Kong? What is the logical basis for this set?

That's actually very different, as first downloading the code and then executing it all at once removes the ability to differentiate--and then serve different files to--people who are separating the two steps for audit from people who

The concept of cargo culting came from a situation with humans; while a dog might also do it, it doesn't make sense to cite it as a reason why a behavior is somehow inhuman.
