Do you not need to use the debugger sometimes? Or can cc debug by itself
fruit2020··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
Nothing happened to Israel for doing it. Have any level headed countries imposed any sanctions on them? Just condemning the leadership doesn’t count.
fruit2020··on Miscellanea: The War in Iran
What would you expect Europe to do? It’s not like they openly support this war. The Iranian diaspora supports it, there is the secularism element, but the US doesn’t care about the Iranian people anyway
fruit2020··on Miscellanea: The War in Iran
So it’s not about nuclear weapons?
fruit2020··on Why I'm Worried About Job Loss and Thoughts on Comparative Advantage

Is piracy a concern? Or are there good enough libraries to implement a client side license key mechanism?
fruit2020··on Europe is in danger of regulating its tech market out of existence
This is not always good for the end user. Now I have to go to google maps manually because it’s most of the time no longer integrated with google search
fruit2020··on Europe is in danger of regulating its tech market out of existence
And how many times did you do that :))
fruit2020··on An analysis of the Rabbit R1 APK
Not sure about nowadays, but a few years ago yes. You could run a foreground(?) service which kept an icon in the righthand corner (can’t remember too well). Anyway, I had an app which kept a http server always running.
fruit2020··on Anthropic's Claude 3 causes stir by seeming to realize when it was being tested
I don’t know much about how these models work, but does this mean that a lot of ‘smartness’ that they show in how they articulate the answers are just them ‘parroting’ the contractors who ‘role played ai’?
fruit2020··on Reading QR codes without a computer
How does one detect the finder patterns when they are not squares?
fruit2020··on Asus Zenbook Duo 2024
I treat most shortened links as the maker has some interest with it, wants to track something, earn something, which I find dishonest. Assuming this is an amazon url, the product page is not even a long url.
fruit2020··on Ask HN: Has the tech recession affected you?
Which country?
fruit2020··on Most 16-year-olds don't have servers in their rooms
Good one. I guess I had win 3.1 and upgraded to 95
fruit2020··on Most 16-year-olds don't have servers in their rooms
When I was a kid in the 90s my dad had raised money to buy a good car. When the time came, he bought a not so good car + a computer for me. I still remember installing windows 3.1 from 40 floppy disks
fruit2020··on A clickjacking vulnerability in WhatsApp that enables phishing attacks
What’s happening with the Whatsapp osx app. It’s so bad to use nowadays, slow, buggy.
fruit2020··on Who makes the most reliable new cars?
What engine do you have? A lot that I see for sale have 165bhp engines, which doesn’t sound under powered. Compare that with a lot of newer cars which have 1L 100bhp engines
fruit2020··on Show HN: IP Guide – Info on IP addresses, Networks, and ASNs
A few MBs
fruit2020··on We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO
It’s about money and power. Not AI safety or people disliking each other.
fruit2020··on Apostrophe Protection Society
Non english speaker here. One use which I’ve encountered recently and seems off to me, is when people say something like: I’ve apples in my bag. Is this correct? I’ve grown up using ‘ve only for shortening the past perfect (or whatever verb form is that, excuse my grammar, school was a long time ago)
fruit2020··on The death of a public intellectual
Isn’t it some sort of live stat of people browsing the page? I see it more and more nowadays, feels so intrusive

This word is common in latin based languages.
fruit2020··on I built Excel for Uber and they ditched it
A great engineer should be both good and great. I do a lot of ‘great’ stuff at work, but that won’t help me to get into my next gig unless I also code a lot and don’t lose my skill.
fruit2020··on Growing scientific interest in vagus nerve stimulation
Does anyone here suffer from vasovagal syncope and has researched the topic more in depth? My last blackout was around one minute during a flight, house doctor says I shouldn’t be concerned.
fruit2020··on StableCode
I didn’t have a good experience with copilot. It was ok for some auto completions, but I found it very distracting to correct it many times when it didn’t do well. It’s like it interrupted my flow. Maybe there is a shortcut to enable it on demand rather than always on, but it wasn’t obvious in the Jetbrains plugin
