Yes, CloudFlare has software, and I think that only further highlights the difference between a complex cloud provider and a piece of software. What good is CloudFlare's software without the vast global network to back it up? Pick a pr

On the one hand, I hear what you're saying. You root for the underdog long enough and they end up becoming the dominant player with the power to match. But this feels like a pretty apples-to-oranges comparison to me. Cloudflare has to

Really, that's not what this lawsuit was about, and the courts aren't supposed to tip the scales based the size of companies, are they? It's clear we need new laws to deal with the problems at hand. The ruling seemed pretty e

I'm sure Fortnite IAP would generate good money for Apple, but it's not enough to justify giving up the control they want to keep, rightly or wrongly.

I also mentioned stars, but thanks.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, why doesn't this happen when you point two flashlights at each other? Or point a flashlight at the sun? Or when light from one star reaches another? Etc etc.

I guess we're splitting hairs over "reporting" and "self-reporting." I think the idea is that there is a layer - yes, a fallible, human one - between detection and reporting.

What is the prediction being made? Whether or not something is a "trend"? What is the definition of a trend? > Can I convince myself that checking the HN front page multiple times a day is a useful and productive exercise? That

You're reaching a bit. His Wikipedia page lists his name as "Aleksandr Kogan". The OP didn't mention Russia at all, nor did he mention anything about him being evil. It's true that Facebook instructions to get the d

I could see working on Sidewalk as kind of a dream if you have no morals. A mesh network you can turn on with a flip of a switch, with millions of devices across the world? Seems really cool, if you don't care about privacy or security

This is really great. I love how flexible it is - I think BYO video chat / turn management is a fine tradeoff to make. Wish I knew about it a year ago!

Flexibits developed an app to do this search called Chatology ( https://flexibits.com/chatology ) but they've discontinued it since Big Sur came out. Works pretty well on my Mojave machine.

Console.group is one of my favorite features but Chrome does not handle filtering it very well. Basically, if you want to filter on a certain term, all the groups will remain, even if nothing from those groups (title, subfields, otherwise)

Agreed, and not really worthy of a news story.

It's a news story that someone inside Amazon thinks the tweets are bad?

You can write TypeScript natively with Deno.

That is pretty cool. I'm actually working on a Raspberry Pi based clock and now I want to incorporate this somehow. Thanks for sharing.

Daftendirekt - the Daft Punk track? By "modulating its clock" do you mean playing the song as an alarm?

Electro / disco is not the right dichotomy, as their music has always sat at an intersection between genres. Homework, Discovery, and Human After All are all heavily sample-based, and there are like 1 or 2 samples on all of Random Acce

Also wondering what it is - my money is on them wanting to go their own way, which they've done in the past while keeping the robots going (they put out a lot of solo material in the late 90s / early 00s) - but I guess it's d

Does anybody know if the managed Grafana will live within a VPC? Would love to be able to query resources without public IPs using this service.

As of 12:31 PM eastern on December 10, the status page does show "Major Outage," but it had been showing that related to a totally separate Messenger issue since the 2nd.

Isn't it common practice to host your status board on someone else's infrastructure? In 2017 there was an S3 issue that supposedly affected their ability to post. I believe they said that they were updating how they posted to the

I'm not sure why this was downvoted, but I think the answer is basically: yes, but only by making a lot of breaking changes. Which sort of leads you to Deno anyway. My take is that we probably won't see a wholesale change to the w
