The owner of Twitter/X is about to be in the president’s cabinet. And the owner of Meta is clearly cozying up to the incoming administration with their new “anti-woke” policies.

I’d be interested to know how you ate glass without realizing it until it was too late.

If you like this sort of thing, I highly recommend checking out C. Allen’s work. The visuals and music are both really impressive, in my opinion the best out there: https://youtu.be/OP7sTQQ0Blw

I’ve had a lot of trouble with their support recently as well. A domain I was trying to renew just…wouldn’t. The ticket I opened went unanswered for nearly a month. What finally got them to look at it was posting on their forums with a tick

I could be misremembering, but I think I remember Teslas having a feature that would apply slight torque to the motors when braking on hills to prevent the car from rolling backwards when switching from brakes to the accelerator. I wonder i

I think the snake oil claim is in regard to VPN companies marketing themselves as a security product. The security benefits that these companies claim in their ads are dubious but of course there’s other benefits to them, they just can’t ad

I think they may be referring to if someone accidentally changes the ordering, either by inserting a new variant between two existing ones or by shuffling the order of the existing variants the value can change and cause problems.

1.1k isn't bad for a project with ~33 million weekly downloads[1], imo. Yes, I know that's not necessarily a good metric, but it's ~10 million more than React[2] which also has a similar number of open issues[3]. [1]: https:

If this feature were added, I’d see very little need to use CSS preprocessors - at least for me. We already have variables, nesting, and color functions. Throw in mixins and user defined functions and that pretty much covers 90% of what I’d

I've been obsessed with the US Chemical Safety Board videos on YouTube that describe in great detail the events that lead up to industrial accidents. One of the common themes I've seen among them is that there's usually some

I agree with this. The only real advantage to Kagi over just using Google + Adblock for me is an easy way to just completely block certain sites from ever appearing in searches. It's probably not worth $10 a month but I pay for it beca

You definitely can comment on lines that haven't been changed. I don't think there's a way to comment on files that haven't been changed, though.

It still seems odd to me that they'd just...not really do EVs while their competitors gain experience and trust shipping EVs years before them. They don't need to flip a switch and suddenly begin producing only EVs.

I was always under the impression that the mandatory service fees (like for groups of x or more) was just a way to make sure that the wait staff don't get stiffed. If the service fee is 20%, I just tip 0% unless I feel inclined to tip

You'd be surprised how many games run perfectly well on Linux. Unless you're playing something with ridiculous anticheat like Valorant it will most likely run fine.

I've also found Apple Maps' instructions are easier to follow. Apple Maps gives instructions like a human would ("in two lights, make a left onto Main Street"), unlike Google which usually gives instructions in distances

There’s only a handful of EVs that currently qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit now that the rules for it have changed - Tesla being one of them. In California you also get an extra $2000 credit for Teslas as well. So there’s some inc

They could probably fix this by having the HTTP version be served on a different subdomain that only listens for HTTP.

WSL2 still runs in a VM so it has the performance implications of that, not that they usually end up being that significant (I have found that memory usage in WSL2 is usually ridiculously high, though). I think the support for Linux GUI app

If their priority is to make money, why wouldn’t they invest in the UX their official app. It’s probably their main revenue stream but it’s so bad that it drives users away to third party clients they can’t monetize. Now instead of actually

The problem I’ve always found with etiquette advice is that it can usually be summed up with “be kind to your fellow human” or it’s just “I have this pet peeve, stop doing this”.

It definitely depends on your definition of "ready". Wayland is completely usable for most hardware configurations I've thrown at it, but ymmv. It's pretty much been indistinguishable from X11 for me. There's still

If I remember correctly, they've stated they don't have plans to ever migrate from Java to Bedrock. They've been doing a lot of work to try to get parity between the two versions but they're architecturally very differen

It's also worth mentioning that Feinstein (D-California) is a cosponsor of this bill [1]. I'm sure a lot of Hacker News folks live in California and could spare some time to write to her if they desire. [1] https://www.

At some point (maybe that point is now), I'm sure we'll see the right combination of hardware and software performance where it'll be trivial for anyone to run advanced AI models on their own devices so it's not controll

I believe Gitlab has supported hardware keys for years now. At least Gitlab.com, not sure about the self hosted one.

GitHub Container Registry is a decent option for orgs, open source and private. I believe it's free to host public images and private images are just tied into your GitHub billing.

If Framework ended up making a main board with this I’d probably finally pull the trigger on one. It’s been in my cart for a while but I never really could justify buying one.

It seems odd to me that a rifle was deemed too dangerous to use in a populated area but a pound of C4 strapped to a robot was acceptable.
