Not working for your particular preferences isn’t a bug; your preferences are just wrong for the vast majority of users. The hubris of HN posters never fails to astound me. The most niche of workflows, then wonders why regular users don’t a

Eric Berger has a strong pro-Musk bias (having literally written a fawning book about him). To him, Musk can do no wrong, it seems. I also dislike Dan Goodin’s reporting. He tries to talk the talk, but nearly every article he writes has som

Yes, it’s “spyware” to want you to update an OS. That’s definitely the definition of that. Good job for decoding conspiracy.

But wasn’t macOS the only major gaming-relevant platform still using OpenGL anyway? If you’re already writing a Mac-specific backend, why not just write directly for Metal instead of OpenGL? Or, at the least, write for Vulkan and use a tran

> The data isn’t trustworthy and underestimates the true count of crime. You’ll need to back that up with facts, not “it seems to me…”. It’s easy to say “the data are wrong, think about it,” but that doesn’t make it true. That’s just a n

Why would you think that? Lobbying organizations exist to advance the interests of their members. Their members in this case are businesses. This will restrict the control businesses have over their former employees. Therefore, they don’t l

Ironically, their page doesn’t seem to work on Safari. I get a 404 error after signing in, every time. Switching to Chrome on my desktop lets it work.

The limitations and clearly second-tiering of the Exchange connector are what pushed me to move away from Google Workspaces last year. I settled on Fastmail, precisely because they support Push in iOS Mail.app. From my research, they are on

Anecdotally, I can say that I’ve definitely noticed a negative correlation between affiliate marketing and content quality, though I would be very interested in seeing a formal study of it. Affiliate links create misaligned incentives betwe

I think this is a byproduct of being email first. PMs love to hate on email because they can’t add a bunch of noise, animations, videos. But so far as I’m concerned, that’s not a limitation, it’s a feature.

That’s a great link, thank you for that! Their support page linked from the “email changed” message, under “if you didn’t make this change”, was less than helpful. It just said to log in and change your password, which isn’t really helpful

I luckily only had PayPal connected to my account. I was able to unlink it on the Uber side before the attacker blocked access to my account. I also blocked it on the PayPal side too. So all that work, and all they really got is my ride his

Moderately tangential, but I just had my Uber account hacked today. I also used a strong, unique password managed by a password manager. As far as I can tell, my email wasn’t hacked (Google Workspace account backed by a physical security ke

Respectfully, this just sounds like the screed of somebody who doesn’t like Trudeau/liberals for political reasons not like an unbiased, cogent analysis of Canadian policy. Though I guess not always a lot of blue sky between those two.

Kiwi bots aren't (weren't?) actually AI controlled. They had human drivers in South America that controlled them remotely. If one attacked you, it was either the human driver going agro, or just a problem with the latency of the c

I think the person you’re replying to is more concerned about privacy implications than a security exploit involving an exotic TV airwave signal attack.

This sounds like a nightmare for any downstream users of this library. Any one of those bullet points in that section would be a major concern for me using it in anything other than a hobby project, but all of them together seem almost will

I mean, proxy support is listed in the config docs[1]. Those docs also break down the functionality of gallery-do by module, leading me to believe you either didn’t read or didn’t understand the docs. [1] https://github.com/

Blockchain backers seem to take it as a given that centralization is bad. But when pressed on why, the best answers I have seen are “because centralization is bad”. Well, I guess that’s not 100% true; the first answer is that we shouldn’t t

Uh, this is so far outside the norm of every company I’ve ever worked for/heard of that I think they’re safe not worrying about you in their business plan. Unless you’re working with classified data, that is — but those cases have tons
