I've been wondering what the rationale for the (home/personal) printer industry to be this predatory and opaque is. Cartridges that go bad after a set amount of pages regardless of…

Source: I work in the field. This is a current limitation, and an artifact of the data+method but not something that should be relied upon. If we do some adversary modelling, we ca…

Show HN is about showing your own work, not just sth you think is interesting. Doesn't matter if you missed it, still shouldn't have posted it.

Nothing that you said is wrong but it doesn't make the situation better. 1) As many people pointed out, this doesn't prevent OCR, it just prevents copying strings (e.g. with crawle…

It's interesting what/when/if will unsettle Python. And what the adoption would be like. Julia has been to unsettle Python in the data space but to no avail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Didn't read bc of the paywall so maybe someone can enlighten me. My educated guess is that UN is using homomorphic encryption for basic analysis... or they have achieved a breakthr…

How is it different from Notion and Evernote like solutions? What’s better and what’s worse about Dino? Likewise, how’s it different from backlink-based apps like Obsidian, Roam an…

I agree that using booleans like this can be confusing. But, imo, it's more confusing to have a bunch of wrapper functions that create abstraction madness. I mostly write computati…

What about the part where people used expired credentials to 3rd-party services to create admin accounts? Scraping may not be a crime but unintended privilege escalation is a whole…

In other news, gen-1 device is good but not perfect yet.

I fully subscribe to this point. It comes up, then it either gets voted out or doesn't even come that far. What baffles me though is that such blatant power-grabs are being introdu…

While the assumption that you can make changes to swift’s stl is not that far-fetched, doing so to cpp’s is completely mental. I’ve got a feeling that swift is becoming a very poll…

The link is dead atm.

This is the key point here. Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari) and MIcrosoft (Edge) funnel money from other ventures to their browser dev teams. For Apple and Microsoft it’s just a st…

No, if you work in a software house; or I'd say, you have extremely low chance there and anyone who made it, was an outlier. Yes, if you work in a company that does some RnD and yo…

On one hand side, provided rationale is right and I agree. If Twitter wants to play the policing game, they'd better bring out big guns and introduce a mechanism to police and fact…

Could someone ELI5, why it is so difficult to make it right? And I do not mean exclusively to Linux, because Windows has been horrible for years now too. If the issue is hardware, …

Asking for a friend - could someone explain what happened there? The README doc is quite vague - it is more of a personal justification than a rationale (to me).

Yes, they are. Slow and hardly as expressive or rich as python/r counterparts.

Yeah, I've been using Mathpix for almost a year now and this seems practically the same. Unless they are deliberately avoiding comparison to Mathpix, they are quite unaware of the …

Not OP, but I ditched taking notes on paper for the most part. I write stuff down on the iPad Pro (Notes and/or Notability) instead nowadays. It is easier to find and extract thing…

I can subscribe to this. Whenever I needed to learn or revise something, I would just write it down again, usually paraphrasing the original material. While I wouldn't use that mat…

Maybe I didn't make this clear but by hardware I meant literally physical switch, as in e.g. power delivery through the circuit.

I was trying to come up with a reasonable solution this. I wouldn't trust any software solution in the OS that "disables" the camera because even if hacking of the device is not po…

That they have more than they say that they have (and are allowed to have) to the point where cleaning this up would be a serious engineering effort. I say this in jest but at the …
