Fine print:

Range up to 10 Km.

VerifiedReports··on Ferrari Luce
The doors are dumb as hell. So I guess the front and back people have to take turns, because only one can squeeze through that gap?

Presumably the range is only a few KM, since Ive said, "You don't want a bigger battery."

And after ruining Apple's computers for years with his POS keyboard and embarrassing emoji bar, he's all about "tactile controls" now? Or was that the will of someone who ISN'T just a pompous hack?

Oh wait: Someone pointed out that there are KNOBS on the steering wheel. So there are wheels on a wheel. That has Ive all over it.

VerifiedReports··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Ah, that explains the Israeli "settlers" in Gaza.
VerifiedReports··on Deno 2.8
Thanks. I use JSR and always pull in the latest, figuring that I'll lock it down when development is done.
VerifiedReports··on Kickstarter is forced to ban adult content by payment processors
I'm talking about day-to-day transactions, not specifically adult content.
VerifiedReports··on Deno 2.8
All good questions. But... it would simply eliminate a step and result in a single language.

Python supports types and is interpreted, right?

VerifiedReports··on Deno 2.8
Why do you consider URLs a problem?
VerifiedReports··on Deno 2.8
I started a new project with Deno specifically to avoid the NPM mess, and because it was created by Node's creator to fix its shortcomings. I'm new to Web development, but so far the experience has been pretty good.

Nice to see Deno being maintained. The features listed seem pretty substantial.

VerifiedReports··on Samsung chip workers will get an average $340k bonus as AI profits soar
Meanwhile, U.S. companies are cutting our already-shitty vacation and leave.
VerifiedReports··on Goodbye Visa and Mastercard: 130M Europeans switching to sovereign payment
Especially now in the (former) USA.
VerifiedReports··on I designed a nibble-oriented CPU in Verilog to build a scientific calculator
It's actually "nybble."
VerifiedReports··on New arXiv policy: 1-year ban for hallucinated references
Fabricated, not "hallucinated."
VerifiedReports··on Kickstarter is forced to ban adult content by payment processors
If U.S. credit-card issuers were worried about fraud, they would have implemented the other half of "chip-&-PIN," which the rest of the world has been using for decades.

U.S. customers pretty much JUST got chips in our cards... but issuers "forgot" to implement the PIN part.

Zero sympathy for this scumbag monopoly.

VerifiedReports··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market Actually Bad?
I didn't see a reference to any of that in the question.

I'm mocking the unsupported declaration about "best people are in the Bay area."

Why only for boys?
VerifiedReports··on Myst's Game Design Proposal document (1991)
I haven't read this, but I suspect that Microsoft came across it sometime after XP and made it their UI-design bible.
VerifiedReports··on Mojo 1.0 Beta
Is what?
VerifiedReports··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
I left because of their shitty or nonexistent documentation AND absurd complexity.

After wrestling with their garbage for weeks, we started over and built a VPS from scratch. Development and deployment proceeded without a hitch after that. The only vestige remaining was S3.

I'm in the midst of a new project now, and I'm not even considering Amazon, even for S3 this time. I'm going to use an S3-compatible layer just in case, but I don't want to give Amazon a dime anymore.

VerifiedReports··on Security through obscurity is not bad
Reducing the attack volume seems like a good idea in any case.

That's why forcing people to use E-mail addresses as user IDs is stupid.

VerifiedReports··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market Actually Bad?
Why even post such an absurd comment?
VerifiedReports··on Zed 1.0
Why on earth would anyone guess that? That is absurd.

I had the same problem and there's not even a burger anywhere.

But... thank you for posting that.

VerifiedReports··on Zed 1.0
Yep. The intentionally obscure titles on here are just inexcusable.
VerifiedReports··on Meta to start capturing employee mouse movements, keystrokes for AI training
"will invest time into career paths that pay a lot but more reliably."

What, pray tell, might those be?

VerifiedReports··on Bodega cats of New York
I thought Paris's main problem was dog shit.
VerifiedReports··on Meta to start capturing employee mouse movements, keystrokes for AI training
What toxic trash.

I hope this is widely hacked. If these employees are any good, someone will whip up a countermeasure that feeds absurdly wild and nonsensical data into Meta's fetid, gaping maw.

VerifiedReports··on Show HN: Shader Lab, like Photoshop but for shaders
No matter what, it's better than "vibecoding." Ugh.
VerifiedReports··on Mozilla Thunderbolt
Here are a couple:

1. The inability to set a specific page for new tabs to open on. That is ridiculous.

2. The mobile version sucks, specifically because bookmarks are buried under an absurd number of menu levels. And they're also broken up (without user approval or any way to stop it) into "mobile" and "desktop" bookmarks. WHY? The entire point of syncing is to have them all the same.

I want to like Firefox. I went back to Firefox for the first time in decades last year and gave it up after a couple months because #2 was that annoying. So brain-dead.

Oh yeah, and another one was that "never remember history" does, in fact, remember history. What Firefox really does is "stop adding to history." And the bug report on it resulted in several YEARS of debate over how to "fix" it. The latest I saw is that they're actually NOT going to fix it, but rather add more text (somewhere) to say basically, "This doesn't do what you think it's going to do."

If fixing a defect like that requires years of committee back-and-forth, the product is finished.

VerifiedReports··on YouTube users get option to set their Shorts time limit to zero minutes
Wait, this is only in the mobile app? You can't do it on a desktop?

Typical Google junk. So we get to continue seeing idiotic door-shaped videos on our desktops.

VerifiedReports··on YouTube users get option to set their Shorts time limit to zero minutes
Wow, WTF. What an inept implementation.
