There's really no winning for Apple here. Whether they limit cable types or provide a disclaimer, people will go to their stores and complain "This phone is broken, it won't connect to my computer!". They'll train t

Section 230 seemed a reasonable compromise before platforms could moderate somewhat effectively with AI and good programming. I know most of HN will probably disagree but companies like Meta and Google have more than enough resources to man

I've always been a die-hard Japanese auto fan, and I'd say cars were a huge influence to my interest in engineering. What he did for the industry at large alongside Honda is immeasurable. Always sad to see giants go. さよなら豊田さま

This doesn't change what the parent comment said. Opt-out is inherently a dark pattern. The hope is that the person installing the software doesn't actually read and uncheck the box. It's no different to "install bing to

Was this article written by ChatGPT? The introduction is like 4 paragraphs of prose, it's very annoying.

I know it seems cruel but if you are immunocompromised that is your problem, don't make it everyone elses. The kids around the world ended up having to take nearly two years off of school and it was shown to have a massive effect on th

People need to understand transactions are irreversable. They can't seem to wrap their mind around that and it's not a prerequisite to using crypto. You can be as glib as you want but there's many reasons bitcoin has still fa

I noticed this when I reinstalled macOS. At some point they stopped including a ~/Sites folder but if you create one now it will give you the special Sites folder icon in the main Finder window. Oddly though they did not update the sma

Was this site ever compromised? I used to flip BTC on here back in 2013 when coinbase would front me up to 20BTC before my ACH even settled. I had a repeat customer who got his bitcoin stolen and thought I did it. I tried to explain the blo

Nintendo only sells one device now, the switch, and it still uses cartridges. Granted the carts are literally just a flash chip.

Appreciate the link. I rolled back to version 1.60.0 and it's working now. Still, not being able to run software I elected to install on my own computer is pretty unacceptable.

Yes they decompiled the original cartridge, rewrote all of the assembly instructions in C, and then wrote an SNES emulator to run those instructions natively.

Unrelated but it seems unreasonably stupid of Apple to allow sharing of shortcuts on their own domain as they can easily be used for malicious reasons.

You're fabricating a scenario that even the professor wasn't so absurd to propose.

Probably because they have very little to offer and events have been padded with indie trash for the better part of the last decade. Nintendo showing literally just a logo for a new Metroid Prime like 5 years ago (with no updates since) was

I believe in Japan it's closer to 90/10 with 90% being iOS. Depending on the country really the split is very much leaning towards iPhone. And younger generation, sub-30, overwhelmingly prefer iPhone.

I took that as within their lab groups. As-in sitting with their group of 4 or so, they led the group work. Honestly, whatever their motives, that kind of interaction is what group work is for. Having students that can lead and communicate

The real issue was pointed out by the professor herself, that only attractive women were being offered tutoring and getting attention. The ones complaining were jaded by the competition. I don't see how there is any issue with this if

Exactly. You wouldn't want some stranger talking nonsense to your kids in person why should it be any different online.

I think the use of ventillators was deemed overzealous and reactionary before we even had a vaccine rollout. Covid gave me a fever for two days. The vaccine gave me a fever for two days. I don't see how either was better/worse tha

Trying to pass off basic human interaction as some kind of skill, as though engineers are incapable of being kind, is so annoying. The author comes off as a self-involved twat. Neither me nor my coworkers give a damn about being kind. Work
