Great find by the author and I have no trouble believing this is an oversight by Mullvad. Kind of shocking that something this simple slips by them but I could see myself missing i…

Google has been clear that installing apps through sideloading and from other app stores will continue to work as long as the developer went through the verification process to get…

I know in some people's eyes saying this will make me a Google shill but this reminds me of the manifest v3 thing. What makes it to the top of HN is mostly clickbait a las "Google …

I looked into this lately - Discord needs to use the Global Shortcuts Portal to do it properly but how is unclear. Discord is based on Electron which is based on Chromium. Chromium…

Can someone explain how banning ad blockers from Firefox would bring in money for Mozilla? I can see how it would bring in money for other actors such as news outlets, YouTube, etc…

My coworker recently showed me this plugin [1] that fades out all Rust code that is unrelated to the variable under the cursor. Think of it as a more powerful version of the "click…

Yes, this is it. The idea that LLMs somehow write this deceptive code that magically looks right but isn't is just silly. Why would that be the case? If someone finds they are good…

I'm kind of happy that I did my maths courses just about before LLMs did become available. The math homework was the only thing in my CS studies where I sat sometimes 6+ hours on t…

I built my own web app to listen to full albums while allowing me to take breaks and switch devices. I really like to listen to albums from front to back but I found that at least …

Songwhip allowed artists to claim and customize their page for a fee. Back then I looked into why Songwhip closed but couldn't find a definitive answer. I found a Reddit post where…

> Can’t confirm Try this link https://tidal.com/browse/track/18835695/u , for me it shows a list of links to other services: https://imgur.com/a/MEsaIZw

I miss Songwhip as well. We used to have a bot in our music sharing Discord channel that looks for links to any streaming platform and convert them to Songwhip links via the Songwh…

I love Zotero because it lets me pull papers from various sources like Nature, ResearchGate, etc. and categorize, tag and annotate them. Is there something similar that pulls job p…

Location: Darmstadt, Germany Remote: Either on-site or remote is fine Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, C++, Rust, Javascript, Linux, SQL, Git, and more Resume (only in…

Unfortunately Ryanair left Frankfurt Airport. They consistently offered flights an order of magnitude cheaper than other airlines and I could reach Frankfurt airport directly by bu…

Interesting. I expected it to be near instant without syntax highlighting but it's still slow.

I'm pretty sure this is syntax highlighting. It's a known issue to be slow for large files in Vim because it is synchronous. Try starting Vim with syntax highlighting off: vim -c '…

I also burned myself on an overambitious machine learning project in the past. I had and still have little practical experience but I think I learned a common beginner lesson. Exis…

I got this from an old HN comment I can't find anymore. I have this in my .bashrc: alias dotfiles='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME' And I init my dotfiles into a fr…

Congrats for building such a great site. I'm curious where OP is pulling the data from. I particularly like the Citydome [1] in Darmstadt, which is often showing movies in original…

Some post-quantum signatures like CRYSTALS-Dilithium are based on lattices. Makes me think that quantum key distribution (what I've been working on for the past 6 months) has a cha…

I have the same gripe and in response published the notes to set up my self hosted email on my blog a few months ago [1]. It's really not that hard but yet we constantly see this t…

I wonder where the pulse is with current GTK app development. I've noticed some of the newer core apps are in Rust like the new camera app and the image viewer, also the public tra…

My sleep is very irregular but I always get enough. I tend to have trouble falling asleep but once I'm asleep nothing can wake me up. Some days I sleep until noon or I have to get …

Yes, this is inconsistent. When you zoom in 10 levels and then zoom out 10 levels again, pretty much all cells you see will be dead. But if you continue to zoom out further than 10…
