In a sense, yes. They used third-party extensions (XCMDs) to HyperCard to add features it didn’t support out of the box, such as full-color support.

Don't worry. I'm sure EU legislation will solve nuisances that are solely a creation of EU legislation.

So the "cut" file doesn't disappear from its directory when you "cut" it? Only when it's pasted?

Former foodservice worker (in the US) for several years here. Servers do not spit in customers' food; that would be psychopathic behavior that no manager would tolerate and grounds for immediate termination, and the type of person who

So the "cut" file just disappears then? Is there an "undo?" That seems really horrifying.

Agreed, the Thermos company's lawyers will probably fire off a terse letter once they find out.

What does happen if you never paste the file? It feels to me like cut/copy (in the clipboard manipulation sense)/paste are nonsensical operations on files in the first place.

HN title is misleading; the article merely says that the people were non-citizens. And as this happened when they were at a government office in the process of getting ID cards or driver licenses, it's safe to assume the vast majority

If I can tell that the LLM didn't answer my question properly, why would I engage with the ad the answer contains, which would likely be equally irrelevant?

Incredibly Reddit-brained, if you're serious. Just say "explain, in simple terms, this thing," then ask follow-up questions on the parts you still struggle to grasp. It works for me - one of the things I find LLMs are quite g

Is this the same "Kagi" that used to manage shareware license purchases (primarily for Mac) 30 years ago? I assumed it was as this Kagi also seems to be Apple-centric, but that Kagi was run by a man named Key (Key Netherly or some

I'm giving it a try after a couple months of daily driving with Zen, which I've become quite fond of. One potential deal-breaker is that it seems to be impossible to log into GitHub. After autofilling my credentials from the keych

SponsorBlock has a native Safari/iOS extension that works fine.

Thanks for that clarification. I was scouring the article and this comment section for some sort of clarification on how this would be enforced, since nowhere does it say that a new law was being passed or something.

querySelector/querySelectorAll() are great for plucking out deeply nested elements but if all you need is to find all elements of a certain class and the API gives you a tool to do exactly that, why not do that instead of reaching for

That's a subjective question, so I'll give a subjective answer. The browser, for better or worse, was a lot less dumbed down for mobile than competitors, the stylus-less touch interface reduced UI friction and the odds that you&#x

Yes, Firefox itself is a “general purpose” browser, and that’s probably for the best in terms of wide market appeal. Other developers have taken the engine and made power-user-focused browsers with it. Lately I’ve fallen in love with Zen (t

While that may be technically true for a strict definition of “smartphone,” there’s no denying the iPhone redefined the concept in a way that its competitors were forced to copy to have any hope of keeping up. Nobody hears the word “smartph

Thanks for the suggestions. I did some brief research on those two and DuckDB in particular looks enticing. I'll have to remember to give it a try on my next side project.

I don’t understand why a local app database shouldn’t still have the same basic functionality and data guarantees as the full-sized ones.

I saw this video earlier. Basically the guy ran the Political Compass test questions through OpenAI and the results put it solidly the leftist libertarian quadrant. While mildly interesting on its own, I doubt the results would be reproduci

The US is a massive country with many areas prone to various natural disasters. I hardly find this surprising. In fact I'm sure this has been the case for most other years in the past century as well.

Two related reasons. One, I still have a sense of ownership and pride in the product from my years of working on it well before all this AI madness started, and two, despite her occasional gripes, the client still trusts my judgment on thes

Even after this I wouldn’t call her a nightmare client if for no other reason than the invoices always get paid on time and without complaint. I’m just less satisfied with the work I’m having to do and her expectations of me.

In the last couple months, working with my biggest client has turned from writing code to improve her product to reviewing PRs that Claude makes - with her constantly upset that I can't keep up with the firehose, peeved when I reject a

The obvious problem with any new AI-centric programming language (I think this is the third I’ve seen at this point) is that any LLM you try to use with it will be starting from zero - it has nothing to copy from and very little documentati

With all due respect to the people of South Asia, the clankers are generally far more understandable to my American ears. I don’t like it but to say otherwise would be a lie. That said, every time I’ve called in to one of them, the conversa
