One of the things that's come up in several trade deals Canada has negotiated is how protectionist we (as a country) are when it comes to dairy. We have not experienced the massive…

After the utter bullshit pulled in California, better hope your state is willing to defend its water reservoirs or for some places clean tap water may be the least of their problem…

> Because that would be jumping to conclusions based purely on racial prejudices. Not purely. There may be some prejucide but look at Nortel[1] as a famous example of a situation w…

SELinux! Half jokes aside, I'd love to be able to have a decent mobile style permissions experience on browser extensions and desktop apps.

We all use PCs and heck even phones that have thousands of times the system memory of the first PCs. Making something work really efficiently on older hardware doesn't necessarily …

Is it actually clear this is an authority the president has? Basically usurping Congress' control of the purse?

> I want people to give me attribution for the parts of my project that are copyrightable. A requirement not extended to the open source developers whose code you are using essenti…

"The best way to get a good answer is to post a confidently wrong one" at work here...

Good read on what someone in a specific field considers to have been achieved (rightly or wrongly). It does lead me to wonder how many of these old manuscripts and their translatio…

You misunderstand, the repo lists an MIT license which requires attribution. You want people to give you credit if they use this LLM-generated code. LLMs which were trained on the …

It's funny that this is MIT licensed, expecting credit for uncopyrightable work.

I've seen many devs extrapolate this thinking too far into sending only the most simple queries and doing all of the record filtering on the application end. This isn't what I thin…

I would expect the query plan for SQL server to essentially return records matching `id` first (which again should be a situation where uniqueness comes into play) and then perform…

If your column named simply `id` isn't a unique index you've gone very wrong. The rest of the query plan probably won't need much power.

People have been using MQTT with TLS for years[1][2][3]. Long before the company and line of printers existed. It's not really an excuse to say "well they didn't use it" -- they sh…

You do not need to give it internet access for LAN mode to function, but you lose a LOT of features that the cloud app and mobile app give you. For example, you can no longer do an…

This reply reads as though it were AI generated. Let's bite though, and hope that unhelpful excessively long-winded replies are just your quirk. > This is itself a slippery move. A…

PG&E is basically California, where it can hit north of $0.50/kWh pretty regularly. I think it's worth noting in this article too that the author mentions they can now heat and coo…

> The "everybody does it" argument is a classic rationalization that doesn't actually justify anything. I'd argue here the more relevant point is "these specific people have been s…

> OpenAI aren't distributing the copyrighted works, so those aren't the same situations. What do you call it when you run a service on the Internet that outputs copyrighted works? …

Eh, I don't really agree with roncesvalles, but I think this is an inherently highly political topic. Should HN just be deleting the entire thread?

This is less about the Pi and more about the form factor.

My favourite is the ole "Oh we need Dwayne for this one, let's schedule a follow-up tomorrow with him, and until then we can rough out a bunch of requirements only Dwayne possibly …

Well, to be fair, the law wasn't individually passed by Biden. It was stuffed into a foreign aid bill aimed at supplying both Ukraine and Israel, as well as enforcing additional sa…

Yeah but how is that funding actually applied? You could throw an extreme amount of money at schools but require it be spent on specific initiatives. Things like resource officers,…
