Granted I've never seen something like this where the chain includes a government agency saying "it's totally on this guy", but normally you can get good results from writing a dis…

Same, I had no sense of the decoy message at all until I read that comment.

> "Usage of Odin in a world-class product" is enough to count as notable I'm not even sure that would count, really. A world-class product that gets a lot of coverage is notable, f…

Makes sense. The Brainfuck article has a bunch of citations to published journals and books, so it's notable -- people are talking about it in ways that Wikipedia recognizes. That'…

Here's an explanation of CarPlay Ultra, which really is the phone driving your dash and instrumentation: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/05/carplay-ultra-the-nex... There's onl…

Is it "defrauding" if someone's just following the rules, though? And, at that, is it worth building your citizenship rules around something incredibly rare? (Estimates seem to thi…

There's this quote from the 2010 interview with Waterson: > If I had rolled along with the strip's popularity and repeated myself for another five, ten, or twenty years, the people…

Siri has always been pretty useful for the things I use it for: setting timers and reminders, and turning off my lights after I'm in bed.

Someone did the research-digging a while back about this, if you want a third-party view: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45136376

> Odysseus Is the person best known for exploiting security vulnerabilities to get into places you'd rather they didn't, and then getting lost and taking forever to get places the …

Genuinely surprised that I'm only 2,187. Weird to think about how quickly I must have jumped on it.

Even new Kindles don't support EPUB, per-se. The Send-to-Kindle service started supporting EPUB, and converts them to AZW3 or KFX for actual delivery to your Kindle. But you cannot…

> Personally I think they should offer a way to extend the Control Center and push devs who want persistence towards that. They actually added that in macOS 26. Just like on iOS, a…

I'm not sure you appreciate why PHP was successful. You might be completely right about all this, but the LAMP-stack "just upload this file to shared hosting" workflow is what made…

You want Beats, which is owned by Apple. Your $200 budget pair is the Beats Solo 4: https://www.beatsbydre.com/headphones/solo4-wireless/MUW43/s...

It's a mismatch with our intuition about how much effort things take. If there's humans involved, "I took this data and made a really fancy interactive chart" means that you put a …

> Developers would often write helper functions that accidently mutated the original Date object in place when they intended to return a new one It's weird that they picked example…

It's a mediawiki feature: there's a set of pages that get treated as JS/CSS and shown for either all users or specifically you. You do need to be an admin to edit the ones that get…

As an aside, it does seem like a bit of a bad sign for a feature that you know up-front that it'll be so polarizing that you need to have an always-visible top-level "hide this for…

I dunno, I think that multiple people doing a workout together in the same at-home room is a bit of an edge case for this app. I have a not-tiny house, and I don't have a space whe…

Though, just to be clear, the per-user ones are also public. They're just a convention where if you make a subpage of your user page and call it "Sandbox", nobody is going to compl…

Here's a representative news article about it (WaPo because they were first in the search results): https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2026/01/22/ice-me... (paywall-avoidin…

A lot of words to say "it's quicker when you allocate three large arrays rather 1,000,000 objects" That feels sufficiently intuitive that describing it as "a JavaScript performance…

To elaborate slightly, note that "reliable" is sort of Wikipedia jargon. When it applies to a news organization, it means that statements of fact are likely to be correct... or at …

He's also appreciably more senile now, and a common manifestation of that is lowered inhibitions. I'm not saying that Trump was great at 70, but now that he's 80 he's considerably …
