Further off-topic, for anyone curious: There are a number of ride-sharing services, the self-proclaimed biggest being blablacar.de, previously known as mitfahrgelegenheiten.de, I believe. We also have a multitude of car-sharing services, wh

Looks good, but I'm experiencing a UI bug. I'll just post a screenshot instead of describing it, it's got to do with some font color being the same as the background color. I'm using Firefox in Win10 at work. Screenshot:

Nobody has mentioned nuclear waste disposal as far as I can tell. Everybody is basically saying "yeah, as long as we avoid explosions, nuclear is great", but has disposal been solved? Or is it not as big of a problem as I'm t

I'm not sure if you mean the judge's entire name or the name 'Haskell', but just in case you didn't know: Haskell (the language), as well as the functional concept of currying were both named after a mathematician c

On Linux it depends on your desktop environment, I suppose. Or if you just use a window manager, like i3wm for example, you can define all sorts of hotkeys, which you can also bind to custom shell scripts, or anything you like, in your i3 c

I don't want this to sound snide, but have you read the whole article? Inmates are literally driven insane by solitary confinement, driven to self harm and suicide. It's not like you just get a cell for yourself as you would wish

Bit late, sorry. No, I can't recommend an equivalent to the T series. I did some research about laptops before deciding to buy the T460s, and my conclusion is this: all laptops are terrible and laptop-makers are consistently moving in

I see. Perhaps a tablet (can't recommend any, I've never owned one) with a bluetooth keyboard is a solution? Myabe you can also find a used Yoga or use two devices; a cheap laptop and a cheap tablet? I feel like a hybrid laptop&#x

I'd recommend Lenovo laptops. I have a Thinkpad T460s, which is awesome. If you really want the tablet/laptop hybrid, maybe a Thinkpad X1 Yoga, or something from the 'regular' Yoga series will work for you. Yoga-series l

Nice explanation, thanks; your formatting got a little messy right after the code block, though, because things between asterisks are rendered cursive .

Yes, I see your point. I personally like this kind of stuff, tinkering with my setup and whatnot. But it's definitely not for everyone. Have you tried using a Desktop Environment under the hood of i3, like xfce? Might be closer to what

It's actually quite simple to get some (all?) of the things you mentioned on an i3 setup (and other DMs, I'm sure). All you need is a compositor, like compton. Arch-Wiki article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.ph

I just think that the more emotional voters, the ones more easily manipulated by propaganda, are more likely to keep voting when it costs something, whereas people who don't care all that much will just not bother anymore. I'm not

There's also this article [0], which sort of tears Zed's article apart bit by bit. It's honestly a fun read because of the aggressive tone (which I find deserved), and it's also informative. edit: there was a HN discussi

Is it really? Apple makes some wildly successful products, and will apparently put more focus on those. Seems fine. I personally found out that Apple makes (made) routers through this post, so maybe they're not a huge deal.

Do you think Su Filindeu tastes much different from any other pasta prepared with sheep broth and pecorino? It seems like it should, given the huge amount of work going into it, but since the ingredients are so simple, it also seems like it

With the per-logo price increasing by $40 every time a logo is sold, the final logo will cost $2000. But I wonder if it'll get that far. At that point, can't you find a decent graphic designer and get a logo exactly to your liking

by tronje 10y ago
When I first opened the site, it was $120 per logo, with 2 logos listed when filtered for "sold". Now it's at $200 per logo, with 4 in the "sold" category. So yes, it looks like the price per logo is increasing by $

Little bit of a tangent here, but I've always hated the fact that Tesla calls its assisted driving thingy "autopilot", which clearly implies complete autonomy, while still requiring a person to stay alert and intervene at a m

It's a little disappointing, really, but perfectly possible in my experience. The uni I'm doing my CS degree at also isn't exactly on top of its game when it comes to practical yet low-level stuff like this.

It sounds weird that they're selling key-logging sticks for $50 and spoofing routers for $100 at a convention where you'd think everyone can build that stuff by themselves for a much lower price. Just to add to your point, I suppo

Offtopic, just a nitpick: Is there a convention in the Ubuntu eco-system to use .ubuntu as an extension? Otherwise it would be nice to change the name of this file to something like README-ubuntu.md so that GitHub displays it as prettily as

Yes, but some JavaScript can detect that the text field has been filled, and then send the information back to the attacker's server. An (innocent) example of this is when you type something into Google's search field, and you alr
