Why use more word when less do trick?

> God I still remember when a friend showed up on his 18th birthday with a pack of cigarettes to show how “mature” he was. I always think about how much that one decision cost him …

They need to improve their spec on writing responses on Hacker News. Or maybe typos are an improvement by design to look human / increase engagement. Not suggesting anything, but I…

The discussion on the proposed solution is interesting https://github.com/w3c/ServiceWorker/issues/1680

Bit of an aside, but a quarter of Xanax can also immediately take you out of an LSD trip.

I'm of the same opinion. Also apparently one recipient ended up with HPPD from this medical study, when they essentially only had 30mg of psilocybin every 6 weeks? I think prior hi…

Or maybe just add a script in package.json to run whatever patch-package does (eg, "install:patch": "npm install && patch-package") instead of whitelisting every package to have th…

Corporate is also claiming that they don't allow stores to take on consignment deals, contrary to their franchise agreement explicitly allowing franchise owners to take on consignm…

> For journalists targetted by nation states, perhaps it would be better to use Brave or Chrome inside of Qubes. Curious why Chrome/Brave is recommended? I don't think any modern b…

I imagine the 5% of issues are more likely to be related to Linux itself; then they hop back to a BSOD on Windows with forced updates or a buggy "stable" OS update on Mac.

Not an exhaustive list, but the site has a Showcase page[0]. The readme[1] also has a link to their Discord server along with their forum. [0] https://strudel.cc/intro/showcase/ [1…

Thankfully the case was taken to the Hamilton County Municipal Court, which I imagine was a much fairer trail than he would've received at Lockland's Mayor Court. He was cleared of…

Unless it was in a previous iteration of the submission's title, I don't see Linux mentioned anywhere.

When it comes to slow forum content, I think it's a fool's errand to try to determine if someone is using AI for their responses. Any of the tell-tale signs of AI are easily skirte…

I think HN needs a refresher on responsible disclosure, and that even vulnerability scanners engage in this practice for obvious reasons in that it benefits both parties. One party…

I'd agree with that to an extent. The USA is in a corporatocracy, so I'd argue it's the private corporate entities lobbying for the government to utilize their private surveillance…

The government is a third-party as well. Leveraging Flock to skirt privacy laws is two sides of the same coin; commercial entities are doing this too.

Yet wanting an extension recommendation by an online user you don't know to install code you can't verify with access to data on the youtube domain is fine.

Whether or not Flock employees are child predators or not, the crux of the issue lies in the third parties Flock allows access to these cameras. For a link to their actual blog pos…

Assuming this is in reference to the great Veritasium video[0] going over what these reference materials are used for and why they're so expensive. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watc…

Yes, there are plenty of them. I think you heard "vibe-code" and immediately went out of your way to act obtuse, even though I was using it as an example of how simple it is to sho…

You could probably vibe-code it if it doesn't exist. You're literally just adding extra parameters to the search request. Hard part is creating the interface for it. Saw more optio…

One of the first things I do on a new device is install an extension to expose these hidden filters, and to hide recommended videos + redirect the homepage to the subscriptions tab…

I first saw this implementation from a Harvard paper back when LLM's were still just a novelty[0]. Glad to see they got their demo site back up. Always thought it was a cool idea. …
