Next, go to Germany or the Netherlands where half ten means 9:30.

When I was in high school I brought in a copy of The Hacker's Dictionary to show a friend. A teacher saw it. A few weeks later there was a hacking incident! The shared spreadsheet …

The single purpose nature of the iPad makes it pretty good for quite a few tasks. I find it much easier to stay focused. I’m not saying that justifies the cost, but seeing as I hav…

I can’t find what you want, but you can buy PoE splitters. PoE in, ethernet and power out. Surely a matter of time until someone does this…

It's a great read! A story of how the scientific elite stalled progress because the right answer wasn't the one they hoped it would be, and didn't come from the sort of person they…

I used to be a professional sailor, and love finding nautical terminology in programming. At sea dead reckoning is navigating using the speed and direction of the ship, and adding …

This sounds extremely susceptible to unconscious bias, or even just straightforward discrimination.

Practically anything! Vibrant colours work best, and there are techniques to do transitions, fades, and masking to get multiple colours, though I’ve never done those myself.

13 year old me who anodised remote control car chassis completely agrees the process is quite simple. In the context of a MacBook, it’s not. Removing just the aluminium components …

People Look For: Specific language tells, such as: unusual punctuation, including em–dashes and semicolons; hedged, safe statements, but not always; and text that showcases certain…

I find MCP beneficial too, but do be aware of token usage. With a naive implementation MCP can use significantly more input tokens (and context) than equivalent skills would. With …

If you like man trivia (and why else would you be reading this?) you could check out the top comment at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/405783/why-does-man... (discussed a…

I was about to ask if anybody had looked at what it was sending home. I’m travelling so I’m not in a position to run this through a proxy for a couple of weeks, but also I’m travel…

That counts! I suppose I’m lucky enough to know of more reliable resources (macadmins.org Slack is an excellent community), and so I turn to them after reading more than a couple o…

I am genuinely curious if anybody knows of a non-trivial problem being solved on one of these forums, at least for a huge company that’s palming off customer support. It just feels…

I use Fastmail with my own domain and 1Password. Together they give me a “masked email” button for forms that generates a random enough email address (two common words and four dig…

Ocrelizumab/ocrevus. Initially as an infusion, but the doctor recommended monthly injections after neutropenic sepsis. After moving to injections there was a hospitalisation for an…

Anokion (now bankrupt) also seemed to have some progress along these lines (link below). A close family member suffers from MS and is on the more effective but less safe drugs avai…

I wrote a longer comment already ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47352526 ) but looking at the hot run performance and making big hand wavy guesses, the performance differen…

I haven't tried the newer I7i and I8g instance types (the newest instances with local storage) for myself, but AWS claims "I7i instances offer up to 45TB of NVMe storage with up to…

This isn't true for iOS at least. You can include device erase capabilities in the MDM profile without enrolling as a managed device.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) MDM profiles typically don't allow personal data access outside of their sandbox, but they almost always include remote wipe capabilities. iOS at least…

Wacom have been selling "pen displays" for years, at least since ~2013. You can buy a brand new one for $300.

Apple has been doing that on their base spec iPhones for the last 3 years.
