Someone else posted his site to HN, not Simon. He responds with additional context and also responds to links to other HN comments he’s made rather than just linking back to his own site. The only person gaslighting here is you.

Anyone looking at this should recognize that the hardware itself is nearly a decade old (and has performance of a mid-range Android from 11 or 12 years ago), the software is buggy and not fully baked (the version of Debian they JUST moved t

Maybe for your app, it doesn’t make sense. And if it’s a pure enterprise app, fair enough (assuming it’s an enterprise that was started more than 15 years ago and only targets regulated or very specific markets). But a good way to guarantee

This is such a cool deep dive into CSS colors and color theory and finding the right way to mess with color values.

That link just unlocked a core memory I haven't thought about since I was 17 years old, so thanks for that!

XMP was the first time I ever picked up a soldering iron -- so I could "hack" my OG Xbox 1.0. I will always, always love and respect it. I love that they are still committed to the OG device. I want to pull mine out and see if the

Yeah, given all the people with passion/ability for low-level reverse engineering have left the project, I don’t think we should ever expect to get greater than M2 support from Asahi. Maybe one day another project will pick up the idea

They do if you want it to be “verified” (at least at bigger places) but I don’t know about smaller places or how people even check that.

And you can get iPhone 14s for $99 on occasion as long as you commit to prepaid service from Total Wireless/Trac Fone for 3 months (so about $180 - so your total price for the phone and 3 months of service is about $300) or you can use

Did we learn nothing from when ABC fired Bill Maher from Politically Incorrect 24 years ago? Clearly, we did not.

For Mac users, ffWorks [1] is an amazing frontend for FFmpeg that surfaces most of the features but with a decent GUI. It’s batchable and you can setup presets too. It’s one of my favorite apps and the developer is very responsive. Handbrak

You’d have to check with Microsoft. OpenAI says that this doesn’t apply to customers with a Zero Data Retention endpoint policy, but my recollection is that Azure OpenAI doesn’t fall into that category unless it’s something that is explicit

Yeah I had a typo -- the statement should have been the mission is to push people from ADO to GitHub -- sorry. The official guidance from Microsoft since probably 2019 has been to encourage all greenfield projects to GitHub, as opposed to A

by filmgirlcw 1y ago
I can say with a high level of confidence that the goal is definitely not to push larger orgs to ADO over GitHub. ADO is and will continue to be supported and you’re right that its project management features are much more advanced than Git

100% this. It would be one thing if the only LSPs you could build came from Microsoft, but that’s just not true. It’s just that developing LSPs isn’t free. Cursor, Windsurf, etc. are building multi-billion dollar businesses off the backs of

Ok, but imagine you’re in a situation where you don’t have the ability to install apps, or you’re temporarily on a platform you’re unfamiliar with and so you don’t know what GUI tools exist. This is why people wind up using web-based conver

They don't even have the ability to group transactions together for US payments (or payments in Australia, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, and others [1]) to lower fees, so I think any hope that a project li

No and it isn't on their roadmap. Projects who want to accept crypto should probably just put a wallet address on their pages rather than trying to rely on systems like Liberapay that aren't setup to facilitate transfers.

Last time I checked into this, the answer was no. This is very much a more EU-focused service, based on the stuff they offer. And even then, they don't pre-collect for VAT like Patreon does. (I just checked and couldn't get a defi
