In fact, there is EPC code, but it is rarely used and bank support is abysmal, at least in our country. But that can also be because we have some homegrown local standard for payme…

Diacritics usually did not advance paper on typewriters, hence their name "dead keys". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key

It was called just GPT-5 at that point in time.

Preciously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47139951 I have just received this email: We’re following up regarding an email you may have received on February 24, 2026 about a …

Cloudflare actually does anycast for egress too, if that is what you meant: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-servers-dont-own-ips-...

> Currently, calibre users have a choice of commercial providers, or running models locally using LM Studio or Ollama. The choice is yours. If you want local models, you can do tha…

I agree with you that the push towards them is annoying. (Google's "Your phone has new exciting features.") In this case, Calibre does not seem to introduce any said annoyances (pr…

I struggle to understand the pushback against AI features. As long as the feature isn't intrusive, it seems like a minor addition, and may even be useful to some people. LLMs are h…

These seem like a simple text rendered using some handwritten looking Google Fonts. Or is there something I am missing?

The icon reminds me pretty much of Kagi

How does it compare to something like good old at[1] that spawns a browser? [1] https://linux.die.net/man/1/at

Delta.Chat is really underappreciated, open-source and distributed. I recommend you at least look into it. Signal, on the other hand, is a closed "opensource" ecosystem (you cannot…

Cannot find it now, but that's how it was discussed at the time when chatmail server became a thing. It is also how it is configured in chatmail: https://github.com/chatmail/relay/…

I have not noticed that problem, the messages are delayed by a few seconds, but not noticeably. Only using chatmail / own postfix though, YMMV.

It is deleted from the server only, it stays on your devices, and is also synced to new device when you add one.

The UI was actually taken from Signal in the early days[0]. [0] https://support.delta.chat/t/list-of-all-known-client-projec...

It certainly looks like that. For such a technical article, there are just very vague descriptions of the failure modes. The code examples do not make much sense. I would expect mo…

Is it a better idea to share private keys? In case of server breach, you will have a much harder time, won't you?

It is also stated on every asset page :)

A much better solution would be to use Typst, but that still might not work in all situations.

Oh, how I hate the new Samsung remotes! They have very few buttons, which you can't tell apart in the dark (unless you remember the layout) and everything must be done through the …

Interesting read. But I wonder, does pip not have some way to force installation from another index that would work as expected?

Unfortunately, it's missing a lot of commonly used paid fonts (Operator, ...), but I understand that it is mostly a licensing problem. For the last couple of years, I am a Cartogra…
