DNied··on Amazingly realistic Facebook ads slamming the company by a street artist in NYC
How brainwashed do you need to be in order to liken Zuckerberg's websites to society?
DNied··on Mutt email client 25 years old
> use the limit command to see only the email you are interested in, then use the tag command

Just for clarity: you can just tag without limiting first

> it's easy to integrate an external tool (notmuch, maildir-utils, mairix...)

grep...

DNied··on Amazingly realistic Facebook ads slamming the company by a street artist in NYC
And then you reach for the link with the artist's name, only to find that it leads to his Instagram page. Says a lot about the contradictions of our time.
DNied··on Mozilla lays off 250 employees while it refocuses on commercial products
The linked article says nothing like that.
DNied··on How to build great products (2013)
The iPhone example is frankly laughable. Try selling a smartphone without copy/paste and with subpar vocal quality if you're not Apple. People will throw it in your face.
DNied··on How did anyone do math in Roman numerals? (2017)
Nope. Still an unproven correlation.

> Our own aircrafts crash quite rarely

Except maybe when they are experimental...

> Or you want foreign military leaders to think you are baffled by their stealth tech

That doesn't seem conducive to that mutual deterrence which is usually desirable.

Surely it hurts quite a bit more than "only the president"?

Or zoom in a little...

It could be an interesting website, but I really don't feel like scrolling horizontally all the time to read the text.
DNied··on Ask HN: My GitHub account got suspended without any notice
So far, only Microsoft has been a nuisance to my personal SMTP server (there's an open issue about Microsoft's dubious blacklists on GitHub, with several participants: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-docs/issues/5...).

Just a little part of why I hate and mistrust that company.

DNied··on Curl Wttr.in
Another cool command-line weather service:

finger city@graph.no

also includes forecasts (try city+24).

DNied··on Pinebook Pro, First Impressions
No spying technologies built into the CPU, at least as far as we know. That one is a big deal.

So you're partly comfortable with this?
DNied··on Programming an HP-15C (2013)
I use a magnificent HP emulator called nonpareil for almost all my RPN needs (the rest being covered by dc and xcalc -rpn).
DNied··on Intel Core I9 9980XE vs. Ryzen 9 3900X Benchmark
OK but which one has the most efficient backdoors? When the hidden TCP/IP stack sends all your data to the mothership, you don't want your connection to get too sluggish.
DNied··on Rampant misattributed paternity: creation of an urban myth [pdf] (2002)
> If the figures come from paternity testing lab results then you are automatically

> biasing the data towards those that are suspicious

Testing labs also have a vested interest in spreading inflated stats.

Voters have already voted, so what's the point of an article urging people to not believe the Brexiters?
