I would prefer 3.5mm over Bluetooth, but keep in mind most people get their music off their phones and (almost?) no modern phones have headphone jacks. Dongles are a thing, but meh…

If you can get the exact same result for less cost (time and money), why not? Things like enjoyment don't factor in since they can't be directly converted into money.

Netflix is paying for the infrastructure because for every byte that Netflix "pushes" there is a "pull" side who is paying for their residential internet access. What is the consum…

Yes, but Yahoo Japan is a completely separate entity.

That's assuming that hiring a person is the exact inverse of firing someone, which is often not the case. Firing someone has more negative effect than hiring's positive effect when…

I assume they are talking about E2E-encryption, since that would prevent them from spying on their users even if they wanted to (assuming the client doesn't leak the key). That sai…

If it were encrypted with a private key the device would only have a public key and you wouldn't be able to encrypt your own version of the software.

Unless I did something wrong with my setup the elixir LS is kind of lackluster compared to a full IDE. It doesn't have any automatic refactoring (even variable renaming) nor does i…

+1 on wanting a HN Seoul group. If there isn't one, maybe we can make it

This is what I assumed considering it had the right answer but the explanations were garbled. Presumably it reproduced the answer, and then some weird patchwork of the various expl…

I don't get region restricted apps. Sometimes it might make sense, but 99% of the time it's just unnecessary and achieves nothing except annoy travelers. Is there some incentive fo…

Yeah, I find the signature example kind of unimpressive because it can just pick up the meaning of the code from the function name and variables, which an experienced human can do …

Presumably the upfront cost for a solar panel, and then assuming 0 cost for electricity past that.

I don't know about Mandarin, but Korean counting words are very different from English collective nouns. English: one animal, one person, one book Korean: han mari, han myeong, han…

Some make direct sense like the tree/forest, others you have to deep dive into their history for them to make sense (if at all). For example, the character for people (民) comes fro…

Indeed. I read the book in hopes of getting a good intro to TDD after only picking it up by osmosis (which, as proven by the discussions here, is not a good way to learn TDD) and i…

If your goal is to avoid coupling tests to implementation then TDD seems like the most obvious strategy. You write the test before the implementation, so it is much harder to end u…

In some cases there might be local laws involved. If you buy a Samsung (or LG, but they don't make phones anymore) in Korea it will come with call recording available.

As someone with an inbox-zero obsession, I don't pretend to have any logical justification for it, I just really don't like seeing those unread markers. Same for any app that shows…

I get a link saying "go to original page" Here is the original article https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/088/0000761820?sid=10...

From what I can tell the 6.4% includes energy. The measure that doesn't include energy (KPIF-XE) is at 4.5%.

I saw a job posting recently looking for senior developers with 3 years of work experience. I mean, I have 3 years of full time experience + a little more experience working part t…

Sleep as android's automation feature coupled with home assistant allows me to do things like turn on the lights when my alarm turns on (or offset by some time).

> Do you really need full double-entry accounting for personal finances? Probably not, which is why I'm not actually using it right now. My main use cases are keeping track of vari…

Does anyone have a good workflow for recording personal finances with this type of tool? My problem is that recording every single transaction becomes tedious, so I end up not doin…
