Based on the places where they were putting their threats I doubt mining was their goal. It sounds more that they were spelunking in case they wanted to ransomware and/or just wanting the information in a straightforward way. I wonder

If you don't care about gestures as they've always been fine in my experience. I can't speak for gestures because the only one I use is right click (two finger tap). But for pointing the cursor and pulling the trigger the tou

I remember there being an interesting set of posts a long time ago where someone did this under their house as a passion project with only a small concrete mixer and they hand shoveled/hand troweled everything. If anyone remembers wher

I find this funny because this feels like the opposite of my experience: my Linux laptop, Windows laptop, and Windows desktop usually have an uptime of a month+ with a sleep and resume schedule. Mac on the other hand is the one that is most

I'm responding directly to what the whistleblower was alleging and they really didn't support an argument of their case. "I have damning information" doesn't mean anything without explaining more clearly what the da

I'm in this camp here. The article does a poor job framing the actual involvement Microsoft had and the whistleblower's writeup doesn't do a good job either. They did provide instances in the original whistleblowing that bad

This is something I see as a middle ground. I don't really think having the 'right' to a human fixes the problem. I just think the right to actually being able to get a conversation without becoming a member of the service to

The issue I've been having is that for whatever reason the USB-C design seems to have a problem with twisting/tension near the ends in a way the USB-A and any of the USB-B varieties ever did. I've gone through more USB-C cabl

I'm wondering since some of the cases were Patreon people with a large back catalogs that Vimeo is actually counting the bandwidth attributed to embedding their player or provide link previews as part of the total. A large list of embe

I agree that this is what I drew out of it. You can't hand wave away some pieces of the product as 'minimal' if they are directly applicable to the basic use case. I've been the audience that has to say 'great but t

I'm not speaking 8GB as an end-user problem, but as a developer problem. Most of my developing machines are 32GB+ but I have to create successful workflows for macbooks that only have 16GB.

If anything this just reminds me how frustrating their product line was pre-M1 for so many years. I'm still dealing with the legacy of having to work with people with 16GB as the ceiling and projects that simply do not fit in them.

I would agree. In the US any class is defined by the social safety net they have and in the current workforce it's often entirely self funded with many parents/older generation reaching into the pockets of their children for labou

This is actually a hard problem even for most font libraries as it requires 'execution' of the font and kerning to actually know the parameters. I'm not saying this is a good answer but this is a tricky problem outside just C

I would say most modern code is not the kind of code written with the absurd platform assumptions that old code used to do. There's not magic addresses you have to know to talk to hardware, there's no implicit memory segmentatio

Don't use an anonymous email. Just email them from an account you use and see what turns up, if it is such a frequent question the author in this day an age could post an errata to their website. They might even have a reworked bit of

I think the other thing that makes it less relevant is that Safari is using WebKit and at this point its just a WebKit derivative. Part of the value that Firefox provides for better or worse is alternate components that force things to actu

To me this is just the classic HN experience. If anything I hope there is some motivated founder that sees this problem and the post-pandemic lack of conference/user group talks with TED production values and starts innovating on the c

I think the other thing that pushed me to put it back on after experimenting with it off was the absolute dearth of inventory Youtube apparently thought was appropriate to show me. I watch a lot of content of various lengths in a lot of var

I think that's the other thing that's understated too because a lot of these underlying choose-your-own-adventure pieces are also in wildly different levels of maturity when it comes to observing and debug. You can spend a while p

I would say that telling someone who emailed you in an unsolicited fashion that you have an expected protocol for interaction isn't in the wrong and putting that line first in an unambiguous way is practically required for how people r

Another thing too is that if your main application artifact can be static while your sidecar can react to configuration changes/patches/vulns/updates. Depending on your architecture it can make some components last for years

I agree with these typography principles when they are applied to things that should be read from top to bottom and the entirety of the content actually consumed as a whole. There's just many circumstances that it is not appropriate an

One of the best things I figured out that at least in the last 70 years or so ago it's pretty easy to find the "first" or foundational paper for a particular construct where they have to explain their notation for the first r

I feel like the conclusion you are drawing from pushing to is weak here. Yes, those with chemical dependencies for smoking or drinking that also are poor would fall in this category of taxes but sugary drinks, fast food, and prepared food I

I would also suggest as someone on the other end is that they have been very aggressive trying to get people during the pandemic. The recruiter name changes every few months but you get multiple calls and so on, moreso than others I've

Yeah I feel like as UI has modernized the "search box" UI approach is still not as celebrated as it probably could. I quickly don't care if it's some quirky incantation of a pigeon language as long as it gets me precisel

Yeah, this is the other thing that is bonehead about this. Forums at least got indexed but the discoverability of useful discord servers is impossible for information you cared about. A forum is still useful when indexed and you don't
