VerifiedReports··on Ghost Cut – Or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere
Exactly, you've nailed it.
VerifiedReports··on Ghost Cut – Or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere
Yes, I disagree that the cited behavior is defective. But I respect his pointing-out of the shortcomings and offering other options.

I find myself using the clipboard-erasure "defect" somewhat frequently to cut something to the clipboard, and then undoing the change and using the clipboard contents. And this is specifically useful in a way that merely copying isn't... but at the moment I can't remember why, or whether I use this when programming or working around InDesign's many defects.

I don't think you're replying to the right comment, since I didn't mention anything working.

Vast majority of what?

That makes no grammatical sense.

Whatever "CSAM" is...
VerifiedReports··on Arduino Launches Plug-and-Play Modules for Long-Range Sensor Projects
And with such poor value for the money. When an Arduino costs as much as a Raspberry Pi 4, it's eliminated from contention.

VerifiedReports··on Kaiser nurses say AI, workplace surveillance are making their jobs, care worse
And Kaiser already sucks big-time, so... that's not good.

"Old" people? How about the vast majority of the public, which is not represented on HN?

Not to mention that one of the many major UI regressions in Windows is the removal of title bars from application windows, which is fundamental to this "trick." Try opening a PDF in Edge and also in Acrobat. Neither window has a title bar, and they are otherwise almost identical. You have to scrutinize the very few controls around the window to determine which app you're looking at.

Microsoft and its software are trash now.

VerifiedReports··on TypeScript 7
Thanks for the reply. I don't understand what a TypeScript version bump has to do with import statements, though.
VerifiedReports··on Show HN: Davit, a Apple Containers UI
Why would someone downvote this perfectly relevant question?

Pathetic.

VerifiedReports··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
Exactly. The distinction between the various layers in "AI" systems is pretty vague to the newcomer. What is the "model" vs. the engine "running" it vs. weights?

I don't recall any previous tech stack that was barfed onto the scene with so little background or reference material, going from zero to endless undefined jargon... and no primer in sight.

For people who demand an understanding of their tools, it's a lot of work. I recognize the value of "AI" in performing the tasks I'd have to do manually; for example, keeping the data structures of my front- and back-ends in sync in a project. But do I want to interrupt my development and take weeks off to digest all of these tools?

And if I do, I want to run the show and fully understand it. And like you, I think that's best done locally.

VerifiedReports··on A Fundamental Principle of Aeronautical Engineering Has Been Overturned
If this is the previously-discussed one, the difference here is that it's not ribbing so it's not directional.
VerifiedReports··on Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
The disturbing thing is that anyone was surprised by this. GPS is very fragile.

This made news in the U.S. a few years ago because Ajit Pai had the brilliant idea to allow so-called "5G" telecom service on frequencies too close to those of GPS. I don't think this case is resolved yet: https://physicstoday.aip.org/news/new-5g-exemption-may-jam-g...

VerifiedReports··on Microsoft builds MacBook Pro rival with NVIDIA-powered Surface Laptop Ultra
First... the comment was about the Mac.

Second... I just opened settings on my iPhone and not only didn't see any ad, but not even a place to put an ad. Where in the UI would an ad appear?

I don't have a paid account and don't get spammed. I don't know why you weren't able to specify WHERE you see all this "spam."
VerifiedReports··on Microsoft builds MacBook Pro rival with NVIDIA-powered Surface Laptop Ultra
They don't. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't use a Mac.

Windows is such offensive trash now that it doesn't matter what you run it on. NO WAY.
VerifiedReports··on StumbleTV: Chat Roulette but for Exposed Webcams
This kind of thing has been around for decades at this point.

Still... it is interesting.

VerifiedReports··on DuckDuckGo search saw 28% more visits after Google said people love AI mode
Google has been ever-worsening trash for years.

Their "AI" bullshit did in fact push me to finally make DuckDuckGo my default page. Happy to hear others are switching too.

VerifiedReports··on Is "colorectal cancer" rising in "young people"?
If the headline merely had quotes around "young," that would make sense.
VerifiedReports··on Is "colorectal cancer" rising in "young people"?
I think so, even with shitty U.S. providers. I've never had a problem.
VerifiedReports··on Is "colorectal cancer" rising in "young people"?
Why are the "critical terms" in "that headline" in quotes?

Then some clown downvotes this straightforward question. Brilliant.

VerifiedReports··on Does anybody like React?
It seems that LLM tools should make these frameworks unnecessary.

Yep. Enjoy your toxic, obsolete echo chamber!

I was there at that time, and Ive still sucked.
VerifiedReports··on Ferrari Luce
Except Ive famously ruined Apple's laptops for the better part of a decade.
VerifiedReports··on Ferrari Luce
Wow I didn't see that. Standard Ive incompetence.

It's galling to see pompous, no-talent douchebags like Ive continually held out as some kind of innovator.
