frameset··on How the AI bubble ate Y Combinator
It's certainly eating up a lot of the threads on HN.
frameset··on UK Electricity Generation Map
We import from France mostly, via the interconnects between our countries' grids. That means it's probably mostly nuclear.
frameset··on Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users safe?
A better question would be:

Is it possible to restrict software installation and keep users free?

frameset··on Emailing a one-time code is worse than passwords
To defend Redmond here, Entra is an enterprise system. If the company you work for or are interfacing with wants to enforce attestation, that's their business.

B2C I would expect more latitude on requiring attestation.

frameset··on Literalism plaguing today’s movies
I've always thought this would make sense.

Often during a three hour film I've ran out of refreshments and would like to buy a drink or something for the last hour.

Amazon is AliExpress with onshore warehousing.
frameset··on Bitwarden is turning 2FA on by default for new devices
I'm the same as you in how I use Bitwarden.

I'd also like to add that if you keep repeating that shortcut it will cycle through the different logins you have for the current site.

frameset··on Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar beverages
> When I lived in the UK a lot of people who couldn't afford real juice would buy 'squash' and drink it as a replacement for juice. I personally found it entirely revolting and way too sugary

Are you aware that you're supposed to dilute squash to taste? It's just concentrated juice. If it's too sweet, you haven't added enough water.

frameset··on DOOM CAPTCHA
Do you remember the early "bug" in HL2 where you could bind shoot to mouse wheel up, then flick the wheel to magdump the pistol and blast anything? Good times :)
frameset··on Bhutan, after prioritizing happiness, now faces an existential crisis
I always use hard drugs like heroin as an example of this.

If the gov made it all legal tomorrow, are you going to run out and buy some?

Probably not, right?

frameset··on Alexa is in millions of households and Amazon is losing billions
Petrol is around £1.44 a litre at the moment, varying a bit geographically.

Princeton University study: Public opinion has “near-zero” impact on U.S. law.

frameset··on Biden signs TikTok bill into law, starting clock for ByteDance to divest
I fear the US government will be whacking just the one mole and then putting down their novelty mallet.
frameset··on Browse Self-Hosted Software
Debian is a popular choice, as is Ubuntu Server LTS. I've chosen Ubuntu Server LTS as my base. It's a nice compromise between the rock solid stability of Debian, whilst allowing for some more recent sofftware package releases in the repositories.

If you'd like to dive in more as a newbie to self hosted docker containers for personal software, check out https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/containers-101/

These guys package popular software projects in a reliable format, and they have some good guides to get started.

frameset··on Study uses wearables to show that physical activity lengthens REM latency
Sadly a Disneyland Paris season pass is more expensive than a home gym over the long term.

Tim Cook chomping on a cigar: "It'd be a shame if something unfortunate was to happen to those nice apps of yours..."
frameset··on Yuzu emulator developers settle Nintendo lawsuit, pay $2.4M in damages
If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.
frameset··on The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6
I came back to KDE after more than 15 years away and the improvement in Kate is astounding. It has features I would never have expected from the basic text editor.
frameset··on Japan's Nikkei surpasses 1989 all-time high
This might shock you, but BBC correspondents who live in Japan either have access to translators, or can speak the language.
frameset··on Building a USB SNES Controller
If you're making a home made arcade stick, check out the GP2040-CE project - https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE

It's got low latency and good compatibility for a bunch of platforms. Even some compatibility for PS4.

frameset··on Why do programmers need private offices with doors?
Good news! They can let the coders work from home and massively cut down the amount spent on insurance, office space, and furniture!

Weirdly, that's not popular with the decision making extroverts either...

frameset··on Programs are games, programming is a game
Oh I actually have played this one already.

The tz level was very frustrating and the Arrow DLC really didn't help things. ; )

frameset··on Programs are games, programming is a game
Hey thanks for these suggestions.

Your last one sounds particularly interesting, but I'm having trouble finding it because as you can imagine "python 3" isn't a particularly useful search term.

Can you provide a link? I'd really like to learn more.

frameset··on I hacked Magic the Gathering: Arena for a 100% win rate
The project you want is http://xmage.today/

All cards available, and full rules engine.

frameset··on Choose the browser that best suits your privacy needs
It's amusing to me how similar this comment is to the ones I heard in the mid to late 2000s from Internet Explorer users expressing surprise at just how easy to was to switch. :)

plus ça change!

frameset··on The EV transition trips over its own cord
Do you have a link to share? I also missed that.
frameset··on Unreal Engine will no longer be free for all
What non-zero interest rates does to a company.
frameset··on Star Trek Borg Remastered
A very cool remastering of the old Star Trek Borg FMV game. There's more details at the link and trailer video, but it particularly cool that it was upscaled into high resolution from a Japanese version of the game that was released on DVD.
frameset··on My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards
I really don't understand the numpad-less trend of fashionable keyboards. Doing any kind of number entry beyond one or two digits is very annoying without one.

They also don't take up that much space really.

If your keyboard is a portable one you pack with you on trips, I get it. If it lives on a desk, why not splash out the small amount extra to make number entry much easier.
