Yeah I'm confused. The title of the article is wrong. There was no "Flock Camera Glitch" according to the article. The human in the loop did not properly delete an invalid license …

One misconception I had was that with value objects we could simply use `==` for comparison. But it looks like there's lots of gotchas with this especially if the value class has S…

There's always this comment on every Java post. I expect the average HN member to be someone on the team who is either leading their projects or plays a significant role in driving…

I wish I did something valuable. Instead I spent most of my time writing kick scripts for #warfactory pretending I was some l33t coder... I still have some of those scripts saved s…

I have a feeling you're in the minority. I've been using computers for 35+ years and I feel like I still don't understand OK/Apply/Cancel buttons. I still click Apply before clicki…

Back in the early dial-up era, when teachers were not tech-savvy, I went online and found a paper exactly matching what I was tasked to write about for a homework assignment. And I…

We have a medium sized Quarkus app (~200kLOC) and Quarkus has been fantastic. Startup in JVM mode for our app is around 10 secs. Not blazing fast - but likely much faster than a ty…

I wish we had a dedicated InstallShield engineer! I had to design and burn my own discs for the desktop apps I built. And for some reason, the LightScribe drive was installed on th…

I believe every UI developer that has used frameworks like Swing has reached a point where specific user interfaces, even those that look trivial, become too complex primarily due …

The tire is the black rubber that's mounted to the wheel. Tire shops don't give you a new wheel when you get a flat tire.

This is a timely post. Just last night my 8 y/o asked if she could create a presentation on my laptop like they do at school. I have no idea what software they use at the elementar…

lmao, I was just thinking about this yesterday. My parents would do the same thing and I would try to correct them and explain how they can get better results just typing keywords …

These letters matter a lot to kids. I sent my video game idea to Nintendo as a little kid and I had the same reaction seeing that envelope from Nintendo in the mailbox addressed to…

I had this same question recently. There's mesh networks like meshcore. But you would be limited to just sending text messages to other users. I would imagine the government would …

Programming a VCR was pretty trivial for me as a kid, but a bit annoying. But then VideoGuide [1] was released (available from RadioShack). I begged my parents for that and honestl…

I believe that's always been a thing. A long time ago I read this teardown article [1] of real vs counterfeit Beats headphones. And even the counterfeit versions had metal weight a…

I consider myself above average with UI design, but I still got confused with that dang "i" icon in the Preview app just yesterday. I had to add my signature and write in the date …

Those mini screenshots do not look like anything like what's in the "Screenshots" section: https://imgur.com/a/svQaeCa

Are there any plans for supporting other databases? Our company primarily uses and has experience managing MySQL deployments. I evaluated Temporal some time ago as it seemed like a…

The OP is real time ray tracing which is running between 30-60FPS on my macbook air while moving the camera and objects around. Your link appears to be a basic ray tracer which any…

The update loop occurs as a result of step 3 in which the UI updates itself from the model which then, due to a combination of developer inexperience, UI framework design/complexit…

I've used several MVC UI frameworks in the past both on the desktop and web, and they all had the same problems. When the view becomes out of sync with the model, it becomes a nigh…

I went through the Crafting Interpreters book with modern Java. I posted this on reddit, but I basically used records and sealed interfaces. With modern Java there's no need for vi…

How does Magit handle complex merges? The website shows simple diffs. In my experience, merging is something where a great UI can vastly simplify the process. I personally use Smar…

> accelerate slightly, deactivate cruise, drive as normal. That was also what I tried doing to try and remedy the problem. The problem is normally when you want to deactivate cruis…
