You could say it flipped their entire logic. Not that it would make sense. But I groaned reading it.

I had the same thing, tried to set up an instagram account for a website I run. It locked me out instantly and asked for a face photo; after I uploaded it it went to review; after about 40 minutes that brand new instagram account was perman

Hmm, my first reaction was the same as yours. But I have quite bad eyesight and looking at the "regular 400 at 16px" example on the page reminded me that I definitely sometimes find myself squinting trying to work out whether a ch

Same guy who made the remaster linked in the article also remastered this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY0bxhbPi3Q - seems he had a retail DVD from Sony with a better original source on it

oh man! every so often for the past decade I've tried to remember "rinkworks". I recognised it immediately from your post. I remember this being one of the first websites I would read as a kid, 20 odd years ago. cheers for th

Not an NFC chip question, but what kind of microscope do you need to get silicon photos of a chip so tiny?

I think the title really undersells it, the video is worth a watch. It's really an impressive effort just to get .NET 3.5 code running on Windows 95, seemingly just to be able to say he could. HN is usually good for this kind of thing:

I played this for hours last night, I'm going to need to block it :) Set myself a target of 2048 for nostalgic reasons, turns out it takes a long time (for me anyway). You're right about the dictionary, actually the whole time I k

Could be useful / fun to make a USB floppy drive which supports non standard layouts like Commodore and AKAI.

IIRC - he mentioned that someone _else_ had a DEC machine, and actually used it as their dev box. The dev with the DEC box person developed the kernel panic code, aka the blue screen of death - and blue was chosen because that's the de

A bit off topic but the most interesting part of this was clicking through to the link about TCP BBR. It's available for the Linux kernel but not bundled / enabled by default, but if these related posts are telling the truth, mayb

Haha, I had a feeling from the title it would be about the 8051. I've only recently learned about it. I ended up with a bunch of TTL / LVDS / eDP display panel driver boards on hand. They're based around a family of Real

The web stack might give you more transferable skills but how did you calculate the trade off vs the 50% pay cut? Was the salary not actually very high and at a low ceiling compared to web work - i.e. you expect your salary to soon exceed w

i liked how the reddit popup had nothing to do with cookie consent and the second site didnt have any popups at all - author could have cherry picked a bad example but for some reason gave us this?

I don't understand why you'd be confused after reading the original source[1]. The authors explain at length why they consider it to be Meta's problem, and it's not hard to understand - Meta make misleading claims about

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't read all that, but the node example alone proves you either didn't read the guy you replied to or haven't been coding long enough to grok the problem. What if you want to start a new project u

the cache is small but if you have a `docker buildx build --cache-from --push` type command it will always pull the image at the end and try to push it again (although it'll get layer already exists responses), for ~250mb images on git

On the one hand I usually love to drop in a bit of spolsky wisdom myself, and that quote stands well on its own, but the article itself is unfortunately marred by the fact the Microsoft products mentioned were just unsuccessful early attemp

personally i don't think it would be unethical or even unusual to re-architect your cv in terms of "roles" with titles which you get to invent and describe, rather than the job titles you were officially given.
