Was VGUI built on GTK back then? It looked exactly the same as other GTK apps I was using in the early 00s.

Came here to say the same thing. "Liberty"... I'm using a Pihole to block trackers.

Interesting on the heels of the (supposed) failed bid from Microsoft. This would dramatically improve Playstation's cross-platform capabilities, as their games are increasingly goi…

It does seem to have been a plainclothes USCP officer per new reporting. I had read possibly erroneous reports that he was part of Pence's detail.

Difference between the Secret Service and Capitol PD.

Does this apply to mobile app install ads? I just don't see how those products are accessible to consumers in the same way without the awareness driven by highly targeted, experime…

Hugely missed opportunity, I thought it was nutshell for 30 minutes before I noticed the spelling. Can you imagine the cute squirrel logo? Mouth full of peanuts? Nushell sounds lik…

I had that question and also the "just kidding" question when I heard the name. What can you do, naming things is hard.

Some devs from my company just recently published https://jkcfg.github.io/ , building on lessons learned from many years of configuring Kubernetes. Since we are discussing JS for c…

Thanks, I knew I had seen this before but unbelievably there is no date on that article.

Hmm maybe it was deeper. I remember being shocked at the time, but my memory of the scale may be significantly off. It was discussed in the context of "there is barely any water in…

That guy is CSW. I am CRW. I swear he uses my email address to sign up for golf clubs.

Thanks very much for the reply, that is very interesting. It is really a very smart feature, and I cannot explain rationally why that is the one thing that pushes me over the line …

I actually would assume the usage stats would be very good on the feature. I am not sure if you can turn it off on the web, I will look again. Unfortunately it is a bit of a Pandor…

For what its worth, I am currently looking at ProtonMail again because I find "suggested replies" too creepy. It is actually stressful, at the "increased heart-rate" level, to see …

I deleted all of my Facebook data about a year ago and I actually had to create a new Spotify account to disconnect it from Facebook. Glad to hear they are improving this process.

What does that mean, "marketing-first approach?" Is this a common distinction in the Hacker News culture?

Agreed. There is this concept of the wheel of energy, people tend to be good at different parts of the wheel: Starting Growing Containing Completing Founder types tend to be amazin…

Whereas effective leaders are required to manage not only the day-to-day, but turning the core vision into an actual business plan that can pay employees rather than just burn VC m…

It is crazy Thiel didn't see this years ago and say something then, when there was still a chance something could be done. Plenty of others did. Now, hopefully, it is too late for …

Amazon is definitely pushing the boundaries of what amount of privacy people are willing to exchange for convenience. I was shocked that so many people I knew bought Echos... wirin…
