You jest but my friend is a professor in Toyama, Japan, and makes the occasional dark joke about moving the people out for a few days and having the US raze it again from time to t…

They do, Google had/has one in the Dalles in Oregon next to the dam and there are several in line Canada and Finland. Part of the problem is consistent humidity management, but the…

The terminology varies by vendors but essentially there are authentication portals that users will log into and receive auth tickets. These are forwarded to network gateways, usual…

I've been moving away from this model towards user-asssociated VPNs or (inverse) captive portals. Used Powerbroker and cyberark for a long time and while they're good at stated pur…

My work laptop has been on 10 LTSC for years. I don't "hate it" but I've never heard anyone talk about liking it so much as tolerating it to run the stuff they care about. Maybe it…

And largely still is. There was mass resistance to leaving windows 7 which was the last release they basically worked like people had learned to use it. Getting stuff like user mod…

Other than IG envy posts a lot of my younger friends seem to be switching to private or mostly private group chats. A lot of them use Discords even for non-gaming stuff probably du…

Gliders or ultralights are a great way to get your head around the way the aircraft moves and what you feel when it does. Being a stickler is one of those cultural things that neve…

I look at it more like Excel now. It gives you just enough to do simple things easily with tools that make more complicated things ... Horrifying. Seeing deeply nested excel IFs th…

Are memory locations or labels resolved to them, probably at compile or startup time, really any different? The whole GOTO-harmful is a product of a bygone time much as anyone need…

The NYT has always gathered the zeitgeist of highly affluent and artsy new Yorkers, who tend to be highly invested in maintaining their status quo. They may not be right wing by pr…

Windows notepad possibly being the most prominent text editor that ed is unambiguously superior to. Still blows my mind that projects like notepad++ have been around for the litera…

There are dated messages in the article showing this going back to at least July 2023. So yes, your second case is closer to what appears to have been the sequence of events.

Also they've been giving out these warnings for months. I'm sympathetic to the guy with the seemingly abusive legal actions from Fox but this storage problem did not just spring fr…

A really slick slide deck on how your unicorn will make this person the envy of his peers. Also amazing amounts of luck, or family connections.

That's been similar to my experience in the last year. WhatsApp or even worse, Snapchat, seems to be the preferred "private" messaging platforms, which is depressing to say the lea…

I have yet to find a replacement that both I like and other people use. Matrix and Session I have yet to find anyone using, telegram seems to be almost entirely bots in my area, an…

Who is the active user base for signal these days? Everyone I knew who was using it dropped off after the SMS debacle, which was a shame. Edit: Wow some weird haters on HN today. I…

Out of curiosity what are you moving to? Ended up moving to gsuite because it was relatively stable some years ago until the domains thing but hasn't boiled over into a problem I n…

Unless you go out of your way, it's not invited in, it was already inside. Most people who don't live in o365 don't know or care what OneDrive even is due to how much it sucks. Thi…

They were always there, but the impetus for frictionless experiences to drive revenue also removed all the barriers and effort to congregating and often exploiting those people. It…

They're intentionally killing it slowly through malicious neglect. It's already unable to deal with some things in user profiles and the image galleries which force you into the ne…

Our AB testing indicates 12% higher laceration engagement is possible with additional modal enstabbators.

I have permanent residency in Taiwan so it's easy for me, although before that it was still easier than anything in the US, just not next to free without their national insurance. …

We're just now really getting studies propagating into medical knowledge of a lot of this. I have covid-related tinnitus and despite the huge uptick in people reporting these sympt…
