In a sense, yes. They used third-party extensions (XCMDs) to HyperCard to add features it didn’t support out of the box, such as full-color support.

Don't worry. I'm sure EU legislation will solve nuisances that are solely a creation of EU legislation.

So the "cut" file doesn't disappear from its directory when you "cut" it? Only when it's pasted?

Former foodservice worker (in the US) for several years here. Servers do not spit in customers' food; that would be psychopathic behavior that no manager would tolerate and grounds…

So the "cut" file just disappears then? Is there an "undo?" That seems really horrifying.

Agreed, the Thermos company's lawyers will probably fire off a terse letter once they find out.

What does happen if you never paste the file? It feels to me like cut/copy (in the clipboard manipulation sense)/paste are nonsensical operations on files in the first place.

HN title is misleading; the article merely says that the people were non-citizens. And as this happened when they were at a government office in the process of getting ID cards or …

If I can tell that the LLM didn't answer my question properly, why would I engage with the ad the answer contains, which would likely be equally irrelevant?

Incredibly Reddit-brained, if you're serious. Just say "explain, in simple terms, this thing," then ask follow-up questions on the parts you still struggle to grasp. It works for m…

Is this the same "Kagi" that used to manage shareware license purchases (primarily for Mac) 30 years ago? I assumed it was as this Kagi also seems to be Apple-centric, but that Kag…

I'm giving it a try after a couple months of daily driving with Zen, which I've become quite fond of. One potential deal-breaker is that it seems to be impossible to log into GitHu…

SponsorBlock has a native Safari/iOS extension that works fine.

Thanks for that clarification. I was scouring the article and this comment section for some sort of clarification on how this would be enforced, since nowhere does it say that a ne…

querySelector/querySelectorAll() are great for plucking out deeply nested elements but if all you need is to find all elements of a certain class and the API gives you a tool to do…

That's a subjective question, so I'll give a subjective answer. The browser, for better or worse, was a lot less dumbed down for mobile than competitors, the stylus-less touch inte…

Yes, Firefox itself is a “general purpose” browser, and that’s probably for the best in terms of wide market appeal. Other developers have taken the engine and made power-user-focu…

While that may be technically true for a strict definition of “smartphone,” there’s no denying the iPhone redefined the concept in a way that its competitors were forced to copy to…

Thanks for the suggestions. I did some brief research on those two and DuckDB in particular looks enticing. I'll have to remember to give it a try on my next side project.

I don’t understand why a local app database shouldn’t still have the same basic functionality and data guarantees as the full-sized ones.

Are there any other serverless SQL DBMSes?

I saw this video earlier. Basically the guy ran the Political Compass test questions through OpenAI and the results put it solidly the leftist libertarian quadrant. While mildly in…

The US is a massive country with many areas prone to various natural disasters. I hardly find this surprising. In fact I'm sure this has been the case for most other years in the p…

Two related reasons. One, I still have a sense of ownership and pride in the product from my years of working on it well before all this AI madness started, and two, despite her oc…

Even after this I wouldn’t call her a nightmare client if for no other reason than the invoices always get paid on time and without complaint. I’m just less satisfied with the work…
