I found it quite funny that people develop extensions that track the availability of one of the most important building blocks of the software industry, because their reliability is so poor. You could have posted a warning to not actually i

The browser history contains a lot of junk and I don't want that saved forever. Curated tab history is a bit different. It's stupid for sure, but also a bit comforting to keep the most important articles and such. For anything I r

The next logical step to ensure MBR quality would be to introduce MBR reviews before filing, also done by LLMs of course.

I've heard that companies that run enterprise Github instances on-premises have almost equally poor availability compared to github.com. There are probably plenty of reasons why they have so many outages, though I agree one of them is

Every 3-6 months I purge all my tabs, but always dump all URLs to an html file in case I will need them in the future. You never know!

They didn't recommend the extensions. They linked them because they were "merely sharing to build on for this discussion". Is all content in HN supposed to be professional and serious, or are humorous comments in fact allowed

But that's mostly because it's impractical. They do use dogs to sniff for drugs and explosives, so if CSAM smelled or was visible through X-ray then it would probably be a different story. And let's not forget snail mail is b

25 Gbps is a silly (but illustrative / clickbaity) take in this context. The more relevant measures as others have pointed out is how well-covered clusters of population are, but also what their broadband quality is. I live in Sweden,

Looks human written to me. But if nothing stands out, then why care?

How do you approach the market with a random app? Posting on X/HN or something else? I have a number of solutions from the past year that could be products and for sure would be sellable, but since they were so easy to build I just kee

He said he was quitting tech, not retiring from work forever. I would assume if you're fed up with tech you could instead do carpentry jobs, work part time at a store, be a tour guide or whatever. Is it fair to say that he has 2 years

Doing performative things is not in conflict with expressing ourselves publicly. People create art and write in various ways and they are free to do so. If he wants to announce to the world that he's leaving the Internet (which is more

Don't you dads take any parental leave? Maybe that's why they don't find enjoyment from spending time with their kids. Kids and parents need time together to bond properly, regardless of gender. And why would the mom even con

Why not the dad? Only infants specifically needs their mother.

Yes, which is great. Everybody pays so no one pays much. No one is poor from paying for other people's daycare.

It is both subsidized and cheaper but that word sort of implies parents (and especially non-parents) may be worse off in the end, which I think is an unfortunate way of thinking about these subsidies. Given the cost of health and life insur

What is the use case for bundling next.js with the web game? Just the layout of the page surrounding the game canvas? It just seems unnecessary, that's all. Traditionally, software development in general and game development in particu

I'm probably going to finally give podman a try, but apart from the security advantages of daemonless, I pretty much have all these features solved on my Docker hosts already. For home/lab workloads I define one docker compose pro

He most certainly wants to make more money, but at this point I bet he first and foremost wants his company to survive long enough to join the big five arena, which doesn't seem likely. He knows that OpenAI's has a first-mover adv

I don't think it's relevant to debate if anime or other forms of media is objectively better. But as someone who has never understood anime, I view mainstream western TV series as filled with hours of cleverly written dialogue and

I feel the same. It's a distinct part of nerd culture. In the '70s, if you were into computers you were most likely also a fan of Star Trek. I remember an anecdote from the 1990s when an entire dial-up ISP was troubleshooting its

American consumer debt is also a different beast in the US because households tend to counter inflation and higher prices by shifting over their monthly spending to credit cards. Most Europeans use credit only for certain goods and mostly p

I agree fully. We need to keep the idea of fully branching off from an open source project alive. But I also suspect that Google has incentives to make it extra complicated and difficult to maintain a fork of their codebase with adblocking

I have had very mixed experiences when suspending a laptop using Windows, various Linux distributions, MacOS and Windows 7-11. MacOS is the most polished yet, but Linux (kernel 2.4 to 6.8) has never nailed this. Often times the kernel refus
