I have to agree here. I love ripgrep, but at times I've had to go back to regular grep because I couldn't figure out what it was ignoring and why, and there were far too many setti…

This is going to date me, but I had a t-shirt with basically a code-golf version of DeCSS printed on it and it said "This shirt is illegal" on it or something like that. I never ac…

I always love seeing modern technology on old hardware. The Dreamcast was an amazing machine in a beautiful form factor.

I have a Framework 13, and I'm excited about this. I've been looking forward to moving to RISC-V for years now. I'm one of those weirdos who is willing to pay more for less perform…

Just wanted to chime in that I love my Framework 13 as well. It's been running great on Ubuntu for well over a year now--no complaints.

I wanted to know this as well. I'm guessing that the author created a drop-in substitute for the SSL library it already head.

Any reasonable person can see that there's much greater danger in allowing a child to ride in a car on a highway--which no doubt would be considered perfectly acceptable by these p…

Can’t imagine why they didn’t print the name.

I never understood why programmers have such a hard time with time. There are two and only two pieces of information you need to work with time: seconds past the epoch and location…

Does anyone have a rec for great iOS Gemini client?

Nice to hear Russ's name on HN. Not completely forgotten I see. He also opposed the Patriot Act when it was extremely popular which I thought was courageous.

It's the opposite. If you're being offered "drugs" by people on the street, it's because you look like a mark.

The Times newsroom doesn't posit premises (and certainly not the one you suggest) or debate tax policy, it reports facts. I find the ignorance on the basics of journalism and its r…

So this response says the story is factually incorrect, but doesn't dispute a single fact. If the story is inaccurate, FedEx should describe what was wrong, in detail, and ask for …

I've dipped my toes into embedded rust from time to time. Can you give me an example or two of how you would use async/await in an embedded environment? I'm just curious about how …

I think carbon emitters should be on the hook to clean up an amount of carbon equivalent to what they emit. There should be nothing controversial about requiring people to clean up…

Interestingly enough, my 2019 Subaru came with a CD player. I doubt it will ever be used.

I won't look at any page that has autoplaying (even silent) video. It's too distracting and it's not worth the effort to click the close button.

This is an amazing achievement for the WebRender team, but users should manage their expectations with regard to performance improvements. The reality is that Firefox's current ren…

Those are points I hadn't considered, but what in the US, net exports are negative. Wouldn't that imply the converse effect to what you're describing?

I never understood this argument. More people in the country obviously leads to more labor supply but also more labor demand.

We're talking about two deaths total here? How many people were killed in automobile crashes since this article was published? Even in the example the article uses, automobiles are…

Yup! That's the one I remembered. On a side note, I wish they still made sites that look like that one.

You used to be able to do this by showing certain images on a CRT. It was cool trick back in the day.
