    HN has an official API that returns JSON objects. Meanwhile Google actively blocks and attempts to pursue legal action against scrapers. Not to mention prohibiting it through TOS (…

    The scenario described in the OP does not involve commenting on a private video. It involves commenting on any public video, then the uploader clicks on a suggested prompt in YouTu…

    Check out Scroll Reverser; it's a tiny, open source app that solves exactly this. There are some other alternatives like BetterTouchTool if you want some other changes like gesture…

    > little do they know Ruby is a slower language than Go Isn't it generally expected for a feature-packed interpreted language to be slower than a minimal compiled language?

    `caffeinate` is primarily designed to prevent sleeping due to inactivity. It doesn't prevent sleeping due to lid closure while on battery. `sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1` (0 to reve…

    Not really. From my understanding, in AP, your account belongs to an instance and your data is then synced to other servers. If the instance goes down, your account is gone. In ATP…

    Ah, right. It would have to be `strings -n 1`, then.

    The implication is that the random-looking data did not contain ASCII characters other than the parts of the flag

    Wouldn't strings(1) have worked for this?

    That would be expected for encodings or container file formats. Straight-up encryption like AES produces results that are visually indistinguishable from random data.

    It works often enough for the company to be wildly successful. They can simply cut their losses and withdraw from industries where it hasn't, such as EVs.

    Static linking packs the dependencies into the executable. This is basically dynamic vendoring.

    Good to hear. What hypervisor are you using (UTM, VMWare, Parallels)?

    A "free side" means being exposed on the left or right, matching your Wikipedia quote. On the other hand, OP's implementation checks if it can be moved up or down .

    I quite like Shelter [1]. Shelter apps are installed in a separate work profile, which essentially sandboxes it from the rest of your data. It also has a neat feature to automatica…

    What edition are you using? The home edition straight-up has pop-up ads[1] for random Xbox games, even on a clean install with all notification settings turned off. [1] https://www…

    Thanks for the clarification (and your work on Olauncher)! I knew I should have checked the source code before posting my comment. I don't think they need to be removed, but I woul…

    The launcher itself is also very clean and minimal, with a text-only UI. You can pin up to 8 apps to the home screen and the rest are accessible through search. You trigger search …

    Yes, but Anthropic is specifically claiming their implementation is clean-room, while GNU never made that claim AFAIK.

    Clean-room design is extremely specific. Anyone who has so much as glanced at Windows source code[1] (or even ReactOS code![2]) is permanently banned from contributing to WINE. Thi…

    Nope, it comes with apt. You might be referring to iSH on iOS, which does use Alpine in a VM.
