Statements like that pop up in quite a lot of programming blogs like these, they used to annoy me more until you realise it's less gloating and more naivety from the 16-21 age bracket with less "professional" experience.

Mozilla is definitely doing the right thing by reviewing the extensions, but the issue here is that were wrong, they found issues that didn't exist (such as claiming it contained obfuscated code and collected private data). It appears

How long does the world-wide-web have left? It's always felt like it would be around forever, but at some point it will fade into obscurity like IRC has done. The golden age, I feel, has been gone a while, but "AI" seems like

"deliberate" and "horrible design mistake" aren't mutually exclusive (see: touchbar). I don't think anyone's suggesting Apple didn't recognise the conflict with charging and usage until after they&#x2

This applies to mobile apps a lot. If you're not careful (especially when using the iOS/Android simulators too much) you can create tiny awkward hit boxes for buttons that are difficult to tap with fingers

I had some success making lenticular sheets using a 3d printer by printing a single-walled cylinder using a clear PETG, cutting it up and flattening it out using a heat gun. You can use the layer height to control "LPI". One probl

They aren't fungible, but even for a high-end 512GB SSD, $200 is rip-off pricing. In fact, a top-end SSD range won't even offer 512 sizes because aside from not really being worth it, transfer-rate performance is lower with smalle

HN has got worse in some places - I think size is the enemy of any community - but HN has comfortably sat behind the curve because it doesn't try to leave its niche. It is mostly outside forces that have changed HN (I.e growth of the g

Hmm, I do see some of my repos there, but only public ones. It would seem a bit too foolish of GitHub to put private repositories in a public dataset. Is there any other corroboration or proof?

At an agency I worked for, one of the reasons firing shitty clients took so fucking long is because "xxxx $" always seems to include prospective figures from future sales that were perpetually just one signature away. It seemed th

The headline seems a little clickbait and I don't think it's HN worthy just because it has Apple in the title. This is really a dull "pension fund investor sues company" with little to do with iPhones.

If I had a dollar for every time some slick SV website had a broken layout due to scrollbars, or tried to give me a seizure when scrolling with a mouse wheel, I might be able to buy a mac with more than 8GB of RAM. Edit: To add a couple mor

Hollywood does slow explosions too. Its kind of a funny meta-anachronism when CGI uses the slow firey explosions that I suppose are inherited from the limitations of practical effects using gasoline deflagrations. YouTube has shown people r

Latency is important because that 3MB isn't one 3MB transfer, its a tree of dependencies that can't be completely parallelised. On high latency Internet with otherwise OK speed, pages of "only" 3MB can take several secon

A cheap 30day SIM with 2GB pf data can be had for £5-7 in the UK, so it sounds pretty terrible to me.

This covers the readonly filesystem, but doesn't cover the write protect flag that you can set on the microSD card itself[1]. The flag will configure the card's controller to drop any writes, and is thought to resist the corruptio
