You may want to email HN (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html ) as it seems you're shadow banned.

I debated even including the disclaimer. It's been ages since it was shut down, and it's been 13 years since I was even there. However, I didn't want to violate some HN netiquette by not being transparent.

I've been using Qobuz (along with my own Navidrome instance) for the past year. The depth of music in some genres seems pretty good, and seems to have all the mainstream artists, but once you get past them in indie/pop/rock g

Reporter of #15526 here. I've still only ever seen this corruption in files being built, which seems to be a situation that the race can be won repeatably by some packages. I reviewed all my user data and I've found no corruption

It's definitely marked as stable, everything else is masked.

Something seems unusual about your system. Are you using an unusual profile or heavily customized make.conf? net-libs/nodejs-20.5.1 is satisfied with dev-libs/openssl-3.0.10 out of the box here. I have a fully updated world with a

I use Gentoo on a few machines, and I'm confused by what GP says: I have no problems using OpenSSL 3, and the 1.1 releases have been masked (not installable by default) for a while now.

You get the "key cluster" module and put it under your left thumb, as is common in other split keyboards.

Not GP, but I tried it out a few weeks ago. I experienced it working for about 15-20 minutes, then it stopped doing any I/O to the disks until I rebooted. After it happened a few times in one evening, I switched to something else.

That's the officially deprecated for decades "Multiple Document Interface". Any app still using it will render that on modern versions of Windows. The open source Windows all I maintain still uses this paradigm, and there&#x2

Backblaze has a policy of allowing backups of external disks, but the disks have to be connected at least once every 30 days, or they'll delete the backups. I understand they want to avoid abuse, but the lack of any grace period, or ab

I only noticed that after writing the comment. Still feels wrong to advertise one price, then sneak in "total fees" (whatever those are) in between the checkout flow and the payment processor page.

I was buying tickets for an upcoming music concert here in Amsterdam. The map showing prices in different sections was one price, but they wanted €74 extra in "total fees", and an additional €14 in VAT.

I keep running into Dutch e-commerce sites that advertise prices without fees and VAT, and I haven't figured out who I'm supposed to complain to. Just yesterday, the first indication the prices weren't accurate is when I saw

I watch a channel that has hundreds of videos playing a city builder, with playlists for each city they've streamed. I just looked and they're all oldest to newest, but yeah, I guess its up to the creator. The frustrating bit if t

It's one reason why I love channels that take the time to make meaningful playlists: they're in whatever order the channel decides, which is often oldest-first in the context of a regular series.

I've noticed it has different transaction behavior than normal Sqlite, which can cause things to break more easily. I patch Go software that uses it to use the C library as a result, and I stopped having corruption problems.

A few years ago I "adopted" an abandoned GPL3 Windows app written using MFC (using the single-view multiple document options). I updated the dependencies, and migrated the project from VS6 to VS2022 and 64-bits. Even if I wanted t

One area we've been poking at is better understanding API server and scheduler decisions when large number of nodes fail at the same time. We don't actually need to be running the workloads to get useful information.

I had a similar experience with DeepL recently. I made a personal account using their free plan to try out their API. My account was banned before even completing the signup flow, and customer support had no details they could provide me.

If you want a dimmable light in a room, you're going to have to buy a light that supports dimming. That's true for a smart bulb or a dumb bulb.
