-Per unit of GDP-, lol. Your children will cook, but at least their bosses will make more money.

Code written below your line gets executed if you don't return early. More breaking news at 8. Seriously, why would you think that assigning a value would stop your script from exe…

I really hate that commit message. It is extremely verbose and doesn't allow you to easily understand what was done in the commit in a single sentence or paragraph. It mixes a very…

The problem with this definition is > Utilizes addictive, harmful, or deceptive design features, or any other feature that is designed to cause an account holder to have an excessi…

You can also use Foam, a FOSS VSCode extension that is compatible with the basic markdown files from Obsidian. You can just open your vault in it and it will probably work if you'r…

Everyone and their grandmother knows that the video is public domain now. How is it possible that Disney and Youtube don't? How are people so incompetent calling the shots?

I was very skeptic before I tried it, I had the same concerns as you. And before I realized, I had dumped 100+ hours into it.

> The Norwegian Privacy Council's decision is an instruction to the Irish Data Protection Authority to place a permanent ban on Meta's European head office in Ireland Isn't this go…

Can confirm this is a bullshit theory. Eating beef and eggs did not help my depression years ago. In fact, going vegan has had a positive impact on my mental health.

There are way more trash discussions here on HN every day that don't get flagged. But it does show where the bias in HN lies.

Is this missing an /s at the end? I do believe in the power of technology to make a better world. That's why a venture capitalist using it for profit and then writing a manifesto a…

Is there some way to get involved in this to make sure it doesn't happen?

Right, let's just leave it to the free market to make the transition when economically viable. The invisible hand has been working great so far in preventing a global ecosystem cat…

Interesting thing is this is a React bug that seems to be trapped in limbo: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/16087 More details here: https://discord.com/blog/investigating…

I was always skeptical of these fancy new vehicles with shiny electronics. I'm glad I still drive a 15 year old car and a 10 year old motorcycle where the most advanced tech is ABS…

They recently added profiles in VSCode for this very use case. I have a bunch of them configured for different tech stacks (they only differ by extensions)

Relevant to what? There's a huge business in videogames to make DRM constantly stronger and more intrusive. Definitely not as easy to break as the parent comment description for Au…

My point is: if Mastodon can't get something as basic as an interaction with posts frictionless, I am skeptical that it can solve the more complicated problems, like profile migrat…

The browser approach is best effort at rendering, rather than enforcing conventions. And I doubt that tooling can help with all the complicated ways in which HTML is generated (Rea…

The problem I see with sematic web is that no matter how easy it gets, developers refuse to use it properly. I have been looking closely at the tag since a browser extension of min…

Seeing this some non technical people will try out this Mastodon thing. If they can get past the initial hassle of choosing an instance to sign on they will try to 'Follow' the BBC…

In that JSON example you're honestly losing more time with ChatGPT that doing it yourself. It seems more like mentoring a junior than a helpful assistant. Most of my interactions w…

The site favicon hasn't been updated either. I imagine that last employee working at Twitter who hasn't been fired has had a difficult weekend updating the logo.

I mean, they kind of do, they own Kindle, so you would think it would be in their interest make it non shit to promote the books on their stores

Federation has many flaws, but this is not one of them. It makes sense when the service is new to focus mostly on one big instance instead of many instances with 10 people each. Ca…
