    You think Reddit is surprised? For all we know, this is going better than they expected.

    Did they wait to sue until after you had your data ready? Or were they gonna sue regardless?

    In my experience, web push notifications on Android do not show immediately (i.e. with high priority). They only show when your phone wakes. Does anyone know of a workaround for th…

    I've had no issue with Firebase on a personal project just pushing to my android. The big caveat is that the push doesn't wake the phone. So all notifications drop in when I click …

    You won't fire off a quick email nor warn others because there's no bug bounty?

    You don't need a Shields Up button to have a little self control on the internet. Seth is energized after a day on the internet. This blog post is about "we" being exhausted aka "y…

    My thoughts and experience as well. Seth does not suffer or get exhausted online. He's had his list of what to avoid internalized for a long time. As do I. Believe it or not, you h…

    It wasn't a prisoner's dilemma. Cooperating gets you almost nothing while defecting gives you benefit. It was nearly the opposite of the prisoner's dilemma. Couldn't another school…

    Fwiw, your rant did not convince me. I estimate that astronomers need to know about tradeoffs on a telescopes' settings for the data they are looking at. But I'm unconvinced that t…

    My university had Dijkstra's quote "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes". They made us aware of tools and we were free to use them as lit…

    Was the documentation a failure? Or did the US save untold amounts of money because of the mothballing->documentation? The failure of the 20M attempt doesn't mean the overall strat…

    Maybe some test mode is getting activated on accident. And those are the sounds a developer recorded long ago and didn't remove.

    I was confused for a few sentences when the giver/taker terms were used without explicit definition. I assumed they were used to denote information givers/takers but the definition…

    One time I made a "Hitler finds out"* meme and uploaded it to youtube. My video immediately got 2 copyright claims on it. One was for the video and was probably by the film rights …

    The author is correct about centralized NFTs not being what you expect them to be. They are wrong that NFTs are debunked. A true web3 game will never have the servers shut down. Ev…

    Yeah I'm a little surprised he regrets it. I guess he assumes that a freelancer would have done the same work since his takeaway says so. He may have indeed gotten "service normall…

    Ask HN: Help me find the origin story of Android

    I keep finding histories of the OS version changes, but I'm more interested in the context of mobile OSes at the time before Android was created. I thought I had read a blog post s…

    Web3 games will never be shut down (if properly decentralized). The "game server" is effectively pay-as-you-go. NFTs grafted on to web2 games is a start of player owned gaming, but…
