Circus, in this case being the collective noun for the kea (New Zealand alpine parrots).

Sure, but my main intent was to raise the question as to why it was singled out in the article/blog post as something that needs to be in the dictionary. As you've pointed out, the…

In most English speaking countries it's a far from common phrase (ie. it's very USA-centric).

“Hospital bills”. That’s very country specific. Also, that’s two words.

Good point. TIL :) git config --global alias.uncommit 'reset --soft HEAD~1'

Equivalent of "git reset --soft HEAD~1". Got sick of googling it every time with my goldfish memory. Just a brew package at this point, but feel free to suggest alternatives.

They used to do this with maps - eg. fake islands - to pick up when they were copied.

This is ridiculous. High end second hand Thinkpads are much better and robust in my experience than new Lenovo laptops. Much better build quality.

We hold the edges of things to pull to expand them. Sliding doors, table cloths etc.

Thanks. It's interesting to compare the original HN article with the browser-translated story (from https://news.qq.com/rain/a/20240110A03FKJ00 ). I definitely appreciate the style…

Like many others in the replies, I too built something similar. I built a PWA that lets you share files via a URL. https://urlfile.app It also has a note/plain text sharing option.…

Seriously?

This is very cool thanks. It would be awesome as a PWA so I can have it installed on my home screen/use it offline (edit: it looks like I misunderstood what the website meant by "r…

At first glance, the title reads like they are doing camera/visual age verification. The missing t is fairly significant in this case.

Not sure if this intentional, but the app is listed in the App Store for iPhone under the Food & Drink category.

He implied they were remoting in after he blocked network traffic. It could easilyl be a standard exception handling approache when it can't call home and fetch latest settings etc…

This is a cool article, and neat he got it working in the end. One thing that is odd - if he blocked it calling home, it doesn't make sense that the kill code was issued remotely. …

I tackled this years ago but found that having a todo list was too limiting. I ended up building a very simple scratchpad [1] (initially iOS and MacOS, then of late, a PWA version …

Same here. Pretty impressive LLM.

This looks really good, and something I think I will use. Very very minor spelling feedback. "Lose" not "Loose".

This is very cool. On a similar bent I built https://urlfile.app because I wanted to see if I could share files via a URL (and I also wanted to genrate QR codes via Edge so I could…

This was mostly built as an academic exercise to show that a file can be transported via a URL. It's really only useful for sharing small files.

Spoiler alert: it was empty (but not by grave robbers)
