    IDK, I heard way stupider and less ethical ideas at work.

    I appreciate your willingness to come and try and salvage this situation. What I don't understand is why are you the one doing this here and on GH, during the weekend, and not the …

    I feel like every day something is broken with GH, at this point.

    Ask HN: Is GitHub Down?

    I haven't been able to access anything in the last hour. I'm in EU. Anybody else? Status says only Codespaces are degraded: https://www.githubstatus.com/

    As far as I remember, WinForms is just a thin wrapper around Win32 with a message loop, i.e. not all that different.

    Out of curiosity, why aren't all tests open source?

    Huh. I had a native Android app way back when on the Play Store, that presented the Factbook in the mobile-friendly manner. Was quite popular in Africa of all places. But ultimatel…

    > This is a user-hostile behavior fueled solely by laziness and pettiness. Damn, that last quip is really poisoning the well here. As a maintainer, not being paid for my projects o…

    So you don't want to maintain a fork, but want a maintainer to do it for free for you and wondering why that PR is not accepted? If you feel so strongly about the project popular i…

    An another thing I hope is added is some kind of internal karma system. E.g. if a user is spamming multiple PR to multiple repos, or is otherwise being disruptive and reported, the…

    I like the idea. Right now it's only possible to require approval for actions for new contributors. But once they get a PR in, they're free to spam new PRs that can clog resource-e…

    How so? Bluetooth has been working out of the box (no tinkering) for me under Linux for the past ten years now across multiple devices. Including stuff like APT-X and LDAC. All wit…

    It would help if PRs from newly-created or private accounts could stand out. And perhaps PRs from accounts that spam multiple PRs with dozes or hundreds of commits, would have some…

    Yeah, we have certificates on our ID cards, but they need to be manually renewed every 3 years which necessitates a trip to the designated authority. And then the underlying system…

    Is this just an abstract and is there more to this post? I found it quite shallow.

    I don't think this should be promoted as coming with OpenWrt preconfigured. This device has no vanilla OpenWrt support, and is unlikely if it will ever have it, considering they se…

    Thanks for the extended answer (including the other comment). I'm always curious to hear what active people past certain age do to do stay fit. And sorry for digging deeper, but do…

    What kind of exercise do you do or have done besides running? And if not too personal, what injuries do you have? Cheers.

    Not sure what they mean by tags, but my export seems to have all my tags.

    Looks interesting. Are there any real-life non-marketing photos of it? Reminds me of Bollinger prototypes. Whatever happened to those?

    How is this going to work with SIM cards that need a PIN? I'll be just unreachable until I notice the reboot?
