I think by "dangerous" they include things like "makes an edit to a config file outside the current project", not just "wipes the production database". So "dangerous" commands just…

I changed from cursor to claude code a couple of weeks ago and this is the biggest difference I've noticed. cursor very rarely had to ask for permission for a command because it al…

sed can be used to edit files (with the -i option). Not sure how this interacts with piping to its STDIN, but I wouldn't automatically assume `grep | sed` is safe. I was thinking a…

Even for extended workloads, a Pi 5 without a heatsink is still a hell of a lot faster than a Pi 4. And as sibling says, most users appreciate bursty speed while not doing prelonge…

You could say almost the same about Gorillaz except for the AI part.

I had that style of integrated panels installed on my (Victorian) house in the UK. The slates were old and crumbling so needed replacing and doing integrated panels meant only need…

To look at it another way, just because some code I work on at my job is derived from open source MIT-licensed code doesn't mean I personally have the right to distribute it if my …

It'll be the same as larger inverters for roof-top solar - they are constantly monitoring the mains cycle and will shut off if the voltage (or probably frequency too?) goes out of …

If you weren't aware, the HN guidelines now include: > Don't post generated comments or AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.

Two advantages for me: It's nice that you don't break the connector if you trip over the cable or put the laptop down on a soft surface, and it's nice being able to charge while st…

Isn't this exactly the same as flexoptix and FS have been doing for years?

The trick with neutral in the leaf is that you have to hold the gear selector in the neutral direction for about a second. No relation to brake pedal timing as far as I can tell. N…

One random preprint I found ( https://arxiv.org/html/2505.09598v2 ) estimates inference is 90% of the total energy usage. From some googling around, everything seems to agree that …

Matt Levine is “known for his humorous, witty, deadpan writing style” - I’m pretty sure that’s a joke.

> Because duolingo is designed for addiction For people who have trouble keeping up hobbies, that's a feature. Even if duolingo isn't the ideal way to learn, it's a lot better than…

I have a load of these shell aliases as I spend a frankly ridiculous amount of time messing with git. `g` is `git status`, `d` is `git diff`, `gad` is `git add`, `ds` is `git diff …

Compared to the amount of code that people compile and the number of bugs seen and fixed in that code, that is a tiny number of bugs. I wouldn't say it's "never" a compiler error b…

That article says that they only add copper in the handling/bridging parts of the panel, not to the actual finished PCB.

Other examples from the article but not in the headline: Meanwhile, a separate AI summary told some users of the BBC Sport app that "Brazilian tennis player, Rafael Nadal, comes ou…

Yep, for me the reason to go with Hue is that the bulbs have good CRI, good colors, and the colors match between all the different types of fixtures. I've also not had a single Hue…

There is quite a bit of variation between SD cards, browser taking several seconds is surprisingly bad. On Pi 4 I use a 2.5" SATA SSD (WD blue) on a startech USB3 adaptor and the p…

In some places it sounds like the ONT is integrated with the router (like with DOCSIS), and being forced to use the ISP’s router is a problem. But in cases where the ONT just looks…

In many contexts Ctrl+Shift+V will paste without formatting, but I’m still a bit hazy on exactly when it does/doesn’t work
