    Oops you're right. I double-checked both from the hacker News app preview (Harmonic), and mobile Chrome. No "show more." I must have confused it with another article, sorry.

    There's probably an economic incentive to get visitors to read past the show more button?

    Could you have a Trusted Platform Module tied to fingerprint reader, while the phone is rooted? Nobody here complains that you can't install apps onto your TPM.

    AU is just as effective as humans at contributing to sqlite: they don't accept contributions.

    Thanks for sharing that nuance. It seems one court weighed in that Claude chat wasn't accepted: > In February 2026, Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the U.S. District Court for the Southern …

    Like what cloudflare does in EmDash (the spiritual successor to WordPress). But almost all plugins would need to be rewritten?

    A production app with customer data needs a data backup/restore strategy. I'm guessing a random app server writing to a local sqlite file isn't doing that either.

    In my USA high School, they started requiring graphing calculators in the 9th grade math class. You would fail most quizzes/exams without the ability to run the calculations that s…

    I couldn't find the source on GitHub, but somebody has helpfully scraped them a few hours ago: https://github.com/pascalandy/dotfiles/blob/main/docs/refere...

    I have a small CLI script that runs JQL `text ~ "$1"` (with per-repo filters on project/component). I don't have to switch to the browser most of the time!

    So in the trolley problem, you would abstain from supporting either side? I think that's actually a choice of supporting the status quo.

    I was there when the SDET role was eliminated. Our team of 8 SDE and 5 SDET became a team of 8 devs who also owned tons of QA frameworks. It was awful, except each tiny we deleted …

    My work was careful to explain: if you associate your personal GitHub account with their work org copilot, then they are the ones who manage copilot. If you wouldn't use your perso…

    Not private repos. Now, anything that gets referenced in a copilot chat is fair game

    Seems to acknowledge that windows 11 launched without expected features from 10. Maybe they thought they could get away without taskbar location customisation, but now they have to…

    There's a CLI tool that writes the agent skills into the right folder. The other option would be to have everybody manually unzip a download into a folder which they might not reme…

    Jenkins CI has a clever feature where every password it injects will be redacted if printed to stdout; `enveil run` could do that with the wrapped process? Of course that's only a …

    Sounds like authentication is working great, but their authorization design may be flawed.

    Maybe you could create a ballot initiative for the next election, that would disband the lobby? See how the people vote.

    I think our corporate VPN doesn't send zoom video traffic through the VPN. As you enabled the VPN, you didn't see any dropped frames. Split tunnelling means the UDP packets just go…
