Another, related, issue would be the existence of two authors with the same name who both publish under their birth names. I don't see how they could be a 'trade mark' so to speak …

I'm pretty sure the GP's point was that the US shouldn't have .gov/.mil etc, every country essentially has a form of government and military — And besides .gov.us would be more exp…

No one? That's a rather brash statement to make. Here in Ireland I can count on zero hands how many people use credit cards on a day to day basis. Debit cards are the norm in much …

Your url comment reminds me of the concept of the semantic web [0] Whereby we can have a structured machine readable and pure URL structure backed by ontology and linked data. Ther…

Equally, neither is the budget. Load isn't an excuse.

As another post has commented, in Ireland we indeed use C13 cables, and it's pretty common to use this term for that here !

With physical access, sure. The same could be said for shutdown with physical access. Nothing stopping the user without group membership from holding down the power button or unplu…

React Native is essentially just writing web apps, once RN has css grid I will be happy enough with everything it has. There's something to be said for writing web apps in RN purel…

What I'd love to see with this is a way to use supabase auth itself as an idP/SAMP provider. Have your tools (back-office tools and what not) written in native supabase, or have mu…

I'm working on several RN + Supabase projects and it just works ! There were a few kinks initially, like URL polyfil being missing from RN and the need for AsyncStorage alongside s…

I'm a huge fan of the scrimba[0] style of teaching. They're a fairly well established startup now, whose content style involves having a screen cast be recorded with an interactive…

(Disclaimer: I work as an online Tutor for an Irish EduTech company which teaches children ages 8-18 to code via after-school and weekend classes.) This article has the right idea.…

I don't think I have seen classes with many parameters to avoid varargs in Java, however I have certainly seen classes with dozens of Type Parameters, I believe some form of code g…

Kodi is just the media suite, what add-ons one installs in it is neither their concern or their liability. The same goes for similar offerings like Jellyfin/Plex, if the end user u…

Chrome's equivalent is http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204 for those curious, and plenty of other browsers have their own. Neat tools as until I learned of the existence of these s…

It's mostly plug and play; on desktop install the browser extension and it just works! There is some tuning to be done based on your own personal preference as you can tune it to _…

The ransom was not paid, to the best of my knowledge, indirectly via a contractor as you stated or directly. https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/0520/1222857-hse-weekly-briefin... This is…

The health minister at the time explicitly stated that they did not pay the random, directly or indirectly (e.g. via a third party) although realistically not easily verifiable. Th…

This report was released 9 days ago, this hack was widely discussed on HN when it happened ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27152402 ) and I thought the formal postmortem wou…
