Circus, in this case being the collective noun for the kea (New Zealand alpine parrots).

Sure, but my main intent was to raise the question as to why it was singled out in the article/blog post as something that needs to be in the dictionary. As you've pointed out, the word "bills" clarifies what it is. I do

In most English speaking countries it's a far from common phrase (ie. it's very USA-centric).

“Hospital bills”. That’s very country specific. Also, that’s two words.

They used to do this with maps - eg. fake islands - to pick up when they were copied.

This is ridiculous. High end second hand Thinkpads are much better and robust in my experience than new Lenovo laptops. Much better build quality.

We hold the edges of things to pull to expand them. Sliding doors, table cloths etc.

Thanks. It's interesting to compare the original HN article with the browser-translated story (from https://news.qq.com/rain/a/20240110A03FKJ00 ). I definitely appreciate the style of the HN English article, b

Like many others in the replies, I too built something similar. I built a PWA that lets you share files via a URL. https://urlfile.app It also has a note/plain text sharing option.

Seriously?

This is very cool thanks. It would be awesome as a PWA so I can have it installed on my home screen/use it offline (edit: it looks like I misunderstood what the website meant by "runs on the browser" - I didn't it has a

At first glance, the title reads like they are doing camera/visual age verification. The missing t is fairly significant in this case.

Not sure if this intentional, but the app is listed in the App Store for iPhone under the Food & Drink category.

He implied they were remoting in after he blocked network traffic. It could easilyl be a standard exception handling approache when it can't call home and fetch latest settings etc. It might not be malicious - not defending the archi

This is a cool article, and neat he got it working in the end. One thing that is odd - if he blocked it calling home, it doesn't make sense that the kill code was issued remotely. It makes more sense that there is a line of code intern

I tackled this years ago but found that having a todo list was too limiting. I ended up building a very simple scratchpad [1] (initially iOS and MacOS, then of late, a PWA version for everyone else...). [1] https://klipped.com

Same here. Pretty impressive LLM.

This looks really good, and something I think I will use. Very very minor spelling feedback. "Lose" not "Loose".

This is very cool. On a similar bent I built https://urlfile.app because I wanted to see if I could share files via a URL (and I also wanted to genrate QR codes via Edge so I could load the files onto my phome). It works for sma

Yes, even Windows (Edge) prompts to install the PWA on the desktop. The "Add to Home Screen" process works well, but is obscure.

Spaces over tabs is one I don't understand - it's the most democratic way to format code (and it saves redundant bytes of code).

re: (1) I know what you mean, but the prompt component is a great way leverage browser UI for input without affecting the rendered website, so it makes good sense in this case.
