Neat find, and I liked the various patches (two-step image serve, post in another channel to fool the cache). This was a fun writeup.

They… will not say that, because they get a large fine if you report them. Every store I've been too has been deeply apologetic when this has happened (a small handful of times in my entire life).

This reply is smug but dreadfully silly. The giveaway is the handling of information and curiosity. You argue for throwing both away, and it's not clear why. When the author takes away more decimals than they should, the article beco

HN is a place where people can be expected to go beyond the title (though I like the limited script and am glad it was posted). Misleading titles are not uncommonly flagged and changed, even.

I agree that a second issue doesn't erase the first, but also I've got enough work experience to know that a system which can be brought down by 1 person no matter the tooling they use is a system not destined to last for long.

Despite multiple comments blaming the AI agent, I think it's the backups that are the problem here, right? With backups, almost any destructive action can be rolled back, whether it's from a dumb robot, a mistaken junior, or a sle

Ah, nice. Some of the gloves are very hard to read.

That seems like it cannot be true? The words are 11, 5, 2, 12, 7, 7 letters long. It cannot be "stop throwing your gloves on the ground". The correct answer is XER?APUOBIA LEADS TO INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED CARROTS I do not know why yo

It turns out that both phrases are used like this, similarly to how they teach in logic classes that "but" is just "and" in fancy clothing, but actual usage is quite different. Actually, a lot of language is just signp

The THIRD sentence in the article explains that they ship to the US. You are tone-policing your hallucinated version of the article! > Enter Navjot Sawhney, who founded the UK-based social enterprise The Washing Machine Project (TWMP) to

Yes, it matters, and big companies can do fantastic things by designing extremely expansive fonts which make it easy to include users speaking plenty of languages that we developers don't even know about.

When you say that it would "almost be like a punishment for Linux users", I think you're wrong, because it literally would be a value add. There is something interesting about the fact that offering you 10% more value would b

Holy crap this is going to let me move some privacy-focused folks over to join me in Kagitopia. Good job guys, you are always working on something cool.

Huh, this looks very neat. I like the effect that happens briefly while you scroll.

That's not an oxymoron. If before the top show was seen by 90% of all customers, and now each of 20 shows is watched by 5%, it will be comparatively very hard to find someone who has watched the most-viewed show of today despite it bei

This is not correct. If we want to explain why the sidewalk is wet, and 99% of the time it is because of sprinklers and 1% of the time it is because of rain, then "The sprinklers do not alone explain the wetness", but "The we

Everyone saying "This isn't a speedup, this is VSCode stopping being dumb" hasn't read carefully enough: The speedup is from taking extension code built on a limited API and implementing it inside VSCode, using more info

There would be infinite m/v there, and finite everywhere without infinite density, so literally every single random draw of a single mass-unit would be in an area of infinite density, or so goes the idea.

The thing it's trendy to hate on is probably just like other things it's been trendy to hate on, and claiming otherwise looks pretty silly. Unless flavored vapes are also a potential filter event, that is.

That's silly. The show's content is not going to be worse because you don't need a team of animators. Instead, think of "free easy animation" as a tool which lets writers start up an attempt solo. The "superfic
