I ran into a government site that not only was aware of the devtools being open, but also stopped virtually all user actions if it did. And it worked quite well- to bypass it, I had to block the detection script from loading altogether sinc

I think that changed around the time COVID hit and offer was highly surpassed by demand. Lots of overhiring during those days.

As someone from South America I find it interesting that people born and raised in developed countries would think that phone-snatching detection is a bogeyman feature. Over there it's a given that your belongings can stop being yours

The thing is that some people start to adopt certain "mannerisms" from their LLM of choice. It's not funny in and by itself, but it tends to be unnecessarily pompous words/expressions as well. Relevant: https:/&#x2

When people interact with spouses and coworkers, it's still human-to-human interaction. There is a person on the other end. Not quite the same when your head doctor, DJ, gym coach, and nutritionist are the same sycophant machine who&#x

Wouldn't you solve the space allocation issue by using a symbolic link? Sorry if it's a dumb question - I'm just getting into sandboxing for the first time myself and ran into this same thought before.

You hit the nail in the head. Those who say stuff like "nobody makes me feel integrated" would also very much struggle to befriend people in their own country if they got dropped anywhere else other than their home cities away fro

You'd be surprised at the lengths some will go to avoid learning a new language. I've met people who have lived over 20y in a country while working, having and raising kids there and still can't have a half decent basic conve

Programs, configs and "other bits" are the trivial parts that no one should care about. It takes about 5min to go from fresh install to near-fully-configured. Even the hardware itself doesn't matter that much, in the end it

Are you using something like Bubblewrap/Firejail/Flatpak, or what does such a setup look like? I've been entertaining a similar idea for a while but haven't gotten to it

And five engineers reviewing 20 thousand LoCs would get the job done in ten days, but both numbers are just as BS when it comes to actually understanding the codebase. No one is comprehensively reading 5k lines per day for a month straight.

I think the issue is that the parallax is choppy in your page. For whatever it's worth, I typically don't care much about parallax in itself but I thought the same thing about the scrolling not being smooth.

Sounds like bandaids on top of bandaids, at which point you start to wonder if the idea is fundamentally broken.

Yeah, because we'd hate to allow people from poor countries to contribute to FOSS projects, right? Or teenagers without full access to online banking. Or the unemployed.

NPM seems to have introduced the flag `minimumReleaseAge` for this exact purpose. However even though are many recent references to it[0][1][2] I don't see it anywhere in the NPM documentation. [0] https://news.ycombinator.c

While I'm sure the US has its quirks, this is not a US-only "problem" (not a health expert so I'm not sure if it's even a problem to begin with). I live in Norway and have heard from lots of people (coworkers, frien

Do you use this when running tmux remotely? (I only run it in my own machines so it never runs as root anyway)

I love me a good drop cap, but you're right in that this example is not good.

Also much more dangerous, right? Since you're spending so much time on the road.
