The ability to sandbox Google Play Services (if you need it, but realistically, you probably do) and to simply not assign it more permissions than it absolutely needs is awesome. I…

Imagine what can happen if the French and other governments would start pouring all the money into developing that further in the open, rather than just giving it all to Microsoft …

Because it's been trained on decades of StackOverflow and forum posts. And because while some command line tools go in and out of fashion, quite a lot are very stable, so their use…

A question because I'm not using speech-to-text, but find it intriguing (especially since it's now possible to do locally and for free). How have your computing habits changed as a…

There are already APIs being developed that assume a browser has an LLM either inside it or otherwise available, see for instance https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/S…

Attention is all you need, as the transformative paper (pun definitely intended) put it. Unfortunately, you're only getting attention in 3 second chunks.

Telling people to use nano would of course have been next to impossible. Much easier to rewrite a DOS-era editor in Rust, naturally.

That's also where etcd came from. It really felt, to me, like the precursor to Kubernetes.

Help me understand what this means to e.g. GrapheneOS, please. Will it be able to exist and just have to wait longer for updates or will it be in real jeopardy?

A GameBoy emulator written in PHP would certainly piqued my interest, but more like a morbid curiosity than anything else. :)

It is interesting that this relates exactly to everything that goes as "cloud native" these days, without really mentioning the fact that due to Kubernetes and the Cloud Native Com…

Do you need fancy looking ones or just barebones QR codes? Because the latter you can just get from the qrcode Python package and simply go "qr news.ycombinator.com > hn.png" in yo…

That's right, and it's also why you see Kubernetes distributions popping up. That way, someone has already done all the configuration of various plugins and components for you. For…

As writing advice, it went from very understandable and approachable to stuff like: "You can get this property by stapling HKDF onto your protocol (once for key derivation, again f…

Can't do it myself, but I've heard that people listen to typical traditional "video game music" for this purpose. Fast, upbeat, and never something you need to focus on, but rather…

It's fast, but laughably inaccurate. Open shirt? Windsor knot. Hand against chin? Stethoscope. Cell phone close to face? Harmonica.

You could have just had your Geek Code in there to be efficient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Code for the people who didn't get to experience it

In tons of enterprise and just general office settings, you'll be given a CSV file, rather than a database dump. Heck, even scientific lab equipment will output CSV for you. It's b…

The point of Kubernetes was to make "run this software on a cloud" trivially compatible across clouds. No specialized code that is needed for load balancers, storage, networking...…

The fact that they resorted to writing crap these days with AI is what is making them lose relevance, not that they have been in the business for a long time, and have thousands up…

You can be an ultra nerd on Linux and go this with the networking QoS tools: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Traffic-Control-HOWTO/components.html

If their romantic significant others are fine being number two in this way, and it's all consensual, then they should do it and move their lives the way they want to. I would perso…
