Sounds a bit like IRC to be honest.
chrisrogers··on A developer's view of Vision Pro
Eye tracking will probably lose the productivity metric, though. When you remove the ability to look at one thing and interact with another, you get farther from the way that humans tend to interact with their immediate physical environment.

I can cut vegetables without looking at them. I can use that dynamic to offset the planning and acting phases of my thought process. Falling short of that efficiency will feel limiting.

chrisrogers··on Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
I'd use a large chain and the beefiest lock you can manage. The sort of thing you'd use to lock up a motorcycle.

Don't forget the far more common access barrier. The White House press room and its analogues only hold so many people.
chrisrogers··on Why the ‘Big Short’ Guys Think Bitcoin Is a Bubble
ACH replaced real clearing houses. Some banks have implemented rapid low-fee transactions, but not all. It's not unreasonable to assume that banks will widely implement an ACH replacement that makes this advantage of cryptocurrency exchange irrelevant.

It's a joke about the uniform
chrisrogers··on Justice Department withdraws FBI subpoena for USA Today records ID'ing readers
Yeah for this you would need to sign up using a one-use mailbox, pay by mailing in a cashier's check, atop hiding your traffic. Possible with the NY Times, at least.
chrisrogers··on Apple asks staff to return to office 3 days a week starting in early September
Masks are critical for dampening the potential for spread. The goal is not entirely to mitigate risk for the kid themselves, but of spread to their household that leads to increased likelihood of deaths.

Depends on the scope of the API of course, but it's a good rule of thumb for any API with private auth

At that point it's time to open the thing up and rip out the antenna.
chrisrogers··on Ercot nearly at capacity for Texas power grid
Texas' population is 29 million. Denmark's is 5.8 million. So the scale is remarkably equivalent.

If Europe had the space that exists in and around Austin, they would do the same thing. It's simply far less expensive to build surface lots.

chrisrogers··on Vaccine hopes rise as Oxford jab prompts immune response among old and young
Did you experience temporary soreness near the location of the shot? Generalized tiredness, etc, that you might associate with a flu shot?

How often are your follow-ups?

chrisrogers··on Vaccine hopes rise as Oxford jab prompts immune response among old and young
Psychosomatic, or the result of administering an IV shot, or environmental.
chrisrogers··on Vaccine hopes rise as Oxford jab prompts immune response among old and young
It's rudimentary to figure out if you got a vaccine or placebo. Live vaccines tend to produce the type of temporary localized soreness you experience with a flue shot. Placebos do not.

Really it's about measuring how likely vaccinated participants are to contracting the virus than those that received the placebo.

chrisrogers··on US travel firm $4.5M ransom negotiation open chat
Well in the case of UCSF, they paid $1.14M[1].

But really, I expect such a law would provide for exceptions, with a maximum payout capability. And for such a law to come after an offsite airgap backup requirement for such entities.

But really, the answer is that the equivalent physical criminal action: walking into a hospital and absconding with all of their medical records, would result in criminal action against the thief. Their actions may be akin to manslaughter if deaths result.

It can be the same exact app on your phone, but be communicating with a different set of network endpoints.
chrisrogers··on How the 2021 Ford F-150's onboard generator works
4-cyl engines are easy enough to start with a hand crank off the crankshaft. Standard starting procedure for a long time, really. My first car had one, and it was made in 1963.

Won't work on the hulking mammoth engines of a modern F-150, but maybe a step down ratio maybe 1:4 (and a bicycle) and it could work.

chrisrogers··on Apple Lightning
Those cheap power supplies are ubiquitous, so it's more about Apple building their cables to exist in the built environment than dealing with the fallout of consumers busting up their expensive phones by charging them on whatever's lying around.

Guarantee there was a consumer study where they compared reactions between these scenario.

chrisrogers··on I think my BBQ just offered to be my default browser?
To address your problem, check the size of the flames on your gas lines first. Those do rust, and it may just help to give it a few knocks and clean the ports with a wire brush.

Some of your valves may be stuck, resulting in low output. Check all areas for rust, and clean it out if it's evident.

Gas grills are too often engineered for low cost builds. They rust easily, and require regular maintenance.

Good luck!
