I do not believe "some voters" will motivate the politicians. Instead it is the bread manufacturers, farms, importers, and every other large business with enough weight to convince politicians that a bread coupon is better for Ame

My idea from decades ago, which I'd love to see implemented, is to capture the height information of the painting and reconstruct it in the browser using physically based rendering. Let the viewer decide what environment to put the pai

Thanks for the suggestion, it's neat that pihole maintains a git repo like this. I didn't get a chance to try it out though, I just installed from scratch.

I like Pi-hole, but pi@pihole:~ $ pihole -up [i] Checking for updates... [i] Pi-hole Core: up to date [i] Web Interface: up to date [i] FTL: up to date [] Everything is up to date! pi@pihole:~ $ pihole -v

Is there an index of all the pages on this site?

The question isn't "what should all([]) return", it's "why does all([]) return True". I think the answer is "because that's what the simplest implementation returns", not "because someone co

I see many complicated explanations for "why all([]) behaves this way" that justify the behavior as good because of logical or mathematical purity. I am implying that these explanations are so long worded because they're wron

I'd really like to see people post screenshots comparing Google and DDG results for cases where they consider one better than the other.

I have 960 fps video of some LED bulbs in my house. It's very apparent that some bulbs do not flicker (perceptibly), some flicker at 120Hz, and some flicker at 60Hz. At night I can sweep my eyes across the bulbs and see the dashed line

Wow, SSD prices bounced back after December. I think most people were (and still are) expecting $100/TB to be the new baseline. https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B078DPCY3T?context=searc...

The last application I saw was using micro Doppler signal recognition to determine if someone has fallen down. Consider a nursing home or hospital bathroom where cameras would be considered intrusive.

It's worse than the author described. Google won't even sort by date correctly. I ran into this problem years ago and it still exists. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=where+to+buy+a+phone&hl=en&t..

Maybe Mozilla can add something like this to Firefox, but for websites that break when using adblockers.

Sometimes when using Google News it looks like the news site has loaded, but the browser still displays the Google URL. Does anyone know what is going on? It's obnoxious when I want to send the link to someone but I only have access to

I'm not interested in posting it on HN (though that is a good way to improve ranking on Google). It's a small static website with a political theme. The title is fairly unique, but not made of uncommon words. Every now and then I

I'm glad to see growing awareness concerning plastic in clothing. The article mentions problems with cotton production as well. With clothing I feel the same way I do about food, and the same way many people have felt for decades: I&#x

I'm glad to see DDG growing in popularity, largely because Google won't place my website in search results. Bing does, DDG does, Yahoo does, but Google does not (unless I explicitly search for the exact URL). Depending on your vie

It's also possible to force reader mode, for sites where Firefox doesn't want to display the icon. Append this to the beginning of the url: about:reader?url=

Is there a place to report errors? I've just skimmed through and the pdf has some possible formatting bugs: tables inside code blocks, page breaks splitting the tops of code blocks, small things like that.

But what does it mean that someone "is able to answer only WA 38 questions, and not Cosmic Crisp ones."?

I still don't understand: what is the difference between calling it WA 38 and Cosmic Crisp?

I love the CD collection, and hope there's some plan to make a new version with the remaining issues. MAD is better than any history book in that it gives a view to how people really felt about events at the time. It also records minut

This is a great informative article. When I tour historical structures I realize I'm never upset at renovations or reconstructions from long ago that changed the building. The changes become a part of the building's history. After
