I would not worry too much about the maintainer - judging by his GitHub profile he does a bit of professoring as a side hustle ;) Thank you Christian Clason for giving us nvim-tree…

As long as there are consumers paying for hardware ownership there will be businesses willing to sell it to them. The worst scenario I could imagine is that one has to pay a premiu…

Nice work, could be useful to beginners! Consider handling extreme cases gracefully with a "it is not recommended to go running/cycling outside in these conditions". Otherwise I ge…

Place modifiers on the thumb keys or - if you don't have any of those - use home row mods! My ranking of measures from most effective to least effective: 1) Do everything you can t…

Anecdotally I agree with the message, but the research looks weak indeed. A simple snapshot assessment and some scoring of an individual's (entire, self-reported!) social life is t…

Because the fancy keyboards all support layers, and one key ergonomic principle is to avoid unnecessary finger travel ;) Default layers on the Dygma Raise 2: https://dygma.com/page…

Thanks, good to know. I was asking because the commit histories of some of the GrapheneOS components scream "mostly one man show". https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Auditor/commits/mai…

Slightly off-topic: how many people are maintaining GrapheneOS? Suppose Daniel Micay suddenly disappeared from planet earth - is there someone who has the knowledge, access and key…

The workarounds on this page mostly suggest to use large public resolvers. Feature request (not sure if the author is on HN): it would be interesting to know which domains are bloc…

A TAN generator or security key stored in a drawer at home. At least it reduces the opportunities for theft since people don't carry these devices with them all the time as opposed…

The issue I'm having with this sort of "something you own and something you know/are" two-factor authentication is that it has some potential to cause violence - both can be beaten…

Depending on your network configuration I could imagine abuse of EDNS(0). This is used for example by NextDNS to identify which device (MAC) on your local network sent the request …

After a recent sports injury I got my hands on a muscle stimulation device (Compex). What I learned: 1) These devices do not only massage. Depending on the settings they can force …

Same for me; "completely useless" is a bit exaggerated. Workouts can be recorded and synchronized, they just don't end up in the cloud.

German here. I would be very interested in the government agency you are alluding to. There are laws regulating layoffs due to operating conditions (Kuendigungsschutzgesetz). But t…

One can tamper with the data or the power meter itself. If a cheater is faster than a competitor pushing more watts, his team will respond with the usual BS: the bike's aerodynamic…

I'm wondering why the "final" keyword is not mentioned in the article.

Thanks! I just saw Peter Woit's post on the Abel Prize https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=13877 also speaks positively about that book.

Slightly off-topic - has anyone read his book "What is a Quantum Field Theory"? Can you recommend it?

Florian Scheck's textbooks in the Springer Graduate Texts in Physics series could also serve as a bridge. Though very challenging for the non-mathematician I've grown quite fond of…

Remember to watch a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting after Johnson to learn how nonagenarians actually eat ;)

Especially true if that child or its mother has a huge market capitalization, large profit margins, highly-paid employees and shareholders eager to reap some more $$. If the public…

No, no, it's all wrong. Here's how we digitize our administration in Germany the proper, Germanic way: A fixed sum for digitization is allocated and the local government publicly a…
