I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible? I suspect RCS, just like SMS needs some special telecom interaction.

Bless you. Which is even more surprising on 'hacker' news. Maybe the average (US-centric) 'hacker' nowadays is just a corporate worker dreaming. I recently joined a megacorp after decades of small companies and I'm

Don't take this the wrong way but corporate are such prima donnas! I got flashbacks from my tiny startup days when corporate went to procurement companies which wanted specific terms and mode of payment. And after all the infrastructur

You backup the disk to more disks. Isn't that how it's done?

by zorrotorro 3y ago
Why would one even bother with that when you have like... a cable at hand and disk space. Though recently simple things as copying files have been a challenge.

> a soft brick, where the device is still working, but fails to boot to a usable state. Interesting. This means that if I ruin my grub I soft bricked the PC. As long as it's recoverable easily, I wouldn't consider that 'br

I didn't know there's different kinds of bricking. It does NOT sound like having root access. This big warning is on the front page: > Warning: Toltec does not support OS builds newer than 2.15.1.1189. You will soft-brick your

The relatively well off can't even keep a server online. Silly article. It's basically claiming that since even the relatively well off are not doing so great nowadays due to inflation, etc. they may appreciate some wealth redistr

My garden is full of birds. The neighbour forgot to trim his huge tree one year and it was full of bird nests. Birds are left with no place to live near / in cities if there's so little gardens and trees. But put some water, grass

True, the open source world never before had a repository and build systems in constant motion. Homebrew is the innovation we needed to make things in software.

It's just lovely that even command line tools ping home telemetry. There's no place for non-spyware.

> Decently dense. Is densely living a virtue in itself? Seems so odd. I mean, if you like to live near a ton of people you should be allowed to do so. But if you do not, you should also be allowed.

ZFS will also let you mix drives of different sizes. And the pool would grow as soon as you remove the smallest one.

For me, looking back, the best funnel was publishing articles and doing work in the open in a mid-sized niche. People noticed me and offered contracts. I'm not entirely certain this will work so well, since it seems everybody is an exp

I'm an independent contractor and I tried for a few years to apply to the announcements on HN. It was generally a bad experience (no reply or bad interview process). BUT... a few years ago I randomly applied for a very niche job I woul

The world is decoupling from China because US sees China as a main global challenger and has asked / forced the hand of everybody else to decouple. China is actually quite predictable and with a stable (forever) leader it's even m

It is depressing and I think I'm starting to see it around me. Many (bad and good) devs I know are ditching software development per se and moving into related areas (management, startups, compliance, etc) where experience and business

> can't encourage the current residents Can't or won't? What are companies doing: training people or just hiring externally and expecting those new hires to hit the ground running? The same strategy is applied everywhere.

Too much Great Wave. Especially on HN. Just recently there was an Apple II black and white version of front page. Look up Hiroshige. Very nice prints. There was another nice Ukiyo-e artist but I forgot the name...

I postulate that given HNs political guidelines, this whole submission has a high chance of being flagged for some reason. Most people have no need to auto-delete something that was recorded by a 3rd party already.
