I discovered HN this year, and my takeaway from it all is: great links, questionable debates in the comments. Happy new year everyone!

I'll switch to Firefox when they get proper vertical tabs like Edge's. I know Microsoft Edge has a really bad reputation, but damn it I can't live without its vertical tabs, and I can disable most of the idiotic AI crap. I kn

Weirdly enough, I've heard good things about Dacia's reliability specifically because they use old parts that are known to be reliable. I don't have first-hand experience though so maybe that's not true.

Logseq is great, but I definitely agree that everything around it (docs, website, ...) is terrible. They really need to rework their marketing pitch and give proper docs. Right now you have docs scattered across 3 websites, and the only use

Is there more context on why this platform was created somewhere? I don't really know what's wrong with SocialBlade or other platforms like it.

That's for individual use, VAT-exclusive. For business licenses, that's 240€/yr with VAT. It's really steep.

I'd say yes, although somewhat through Expo nowadays

Please, Firefox, for the love of everything, add a good, easy, natively integrated, one-click-to-enable vertical tab list like Edge's. That's the only thing keeping me on Microsoft Edge and it's a dealbreaker for me. The exte

That, and Windows being the only OS with good fractional scaling. My main problem with Linux is that, in order to have tolerable fractional scaling, you have to use tons of hacks to make sure everything is running on Wayland. And even then

You might like httpyac then. It's like JetBrain's HTTP client with a lot more features.

The prompt on an old device is just one of the MFA options you can use. You can also use a security key (e.g. Yubikey, Solokey, etc.).

I think it's just a matter of preference (and maybe a slight generational gap?). I love the rainbow pattern on one of their other keyboards (the retired Planck EZ). IMO it looks very nice on top of a white case which "reflects&quo

I'm a bit disappointed by the new offering and the retirement of the Planck EZ. I fully understand the decisions that were made, and while ZSA's keyboards are phenomenal, there is no way I'd buy one at a 404€ price point (inc

Doesn't seem to apply to this law. IANAL but after a quick check of the proposed law text, it is directly referencing French laws about scamming, and only allows the blocking procedure if the government agency finds these sites to be i

As far as I understand it, this is only about implementing a blocklist for scam and phishing sites, like what Edge's SmartScreen already does. The agency in charge of this, Arcom, will have to comply to that requirement. While the prin

I really like httpyac for this purpose: https://httpyac.github.io Pretty similar with JS scripting capabilities. Has great VS Code integration in addition to its CLI.
