I'm not saying this is something that should be ignored, but it feels out of place for HN.

From the guidelines:

> If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

AFI almost always had a "hidden" track after silence following the last track, I figured following the Misfits' tradition

That name jumped out at me, Hans Jansen is the name Dominic Monaghan used when posing as a German interviewer with Elijah Woods. Not that it can't be a real person

Barely related, but reminded me that a recent comment here linked to this DEFCON talk from a former darknet vendor. He claimed to use WiFi from a house a mile away using a Yagi antenna

The Casefile podcast had a great two-part series on Blackout crimes last summer, one in London and the other in Berlin.

On 115.0b9 on macOS the list is empty (`extensions.quarantinedDomains.list`), guessing it's intended to be set by school/company IT for their managed devices

Thanks, I hadn't checked in quite a while!

That may be a good idea, but I honestly haven't looked into it. My preference is for operating systems to just work, rather than me change all my motherboards to accommodate them

Arch is my ideal distro, but since my motherboards started using UEFI I just haven't been able to install it. I followed the instructions from the Install Wiki[0], but just couldn't figure it out. Manjaro's been a nice in-between with a painless installation process

That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works

I think Karabiner(-Elements) is way more popular and probably more flexible, but I've had a lot of success with Ukelele for 6-7 years. I exported one layout and just copy it to each new macbook. Specifically it lets me set `option` as a dead key so I can have `opt+i`, `opt+j`, etc... shortcuts in editors.

If you're interested in how records are cut, Amanda Ghassaei had a really cool project 3D printing records that goes into detail. She later used laser cutting

It's still around and getting periodic updates. I originally bought it mainly to give Sublime more money (after using the Sublime Text trial for most of college), but it ended up being useful and I use it daily

That's what I figured, but in practice I wasn't able to do that without having to manually enter most subtitles. The tools are relatively old, so I was hoping something newer had figured it out

Does anyone use OCR to convert BluRay subtitles (.sup) to plaintext .srt files? I've used tools like SupRip and BDSup2Sub, but they've all required pretty significant cleanup afterwards. 'l', '1', and 'I' especially get mixed up a lot

I used this and it's really cool, but like others the fact I didn't have my files on disk made it way less useful

I was really surprised Rich Hickey's talk wasn't linked to: https://youtu.be/oyLBGkS5ICk

I checked one of those citations, and wow....

> I expect that Sudanese law defines "rape" to exclude rape by the husband. That's comparable to US laws that define "rape" to include voluntary sex with under N years of age (where N varies). Both laws falsify the meaning of "rape".

I have no idea, I don't have experience with Babel. As mentioned in the release notes, this change makes TS conform more closely to ECMAScript, so I don't think it's a bad decision. But it would've been nice to get some warning or error when trying to stub an ES import, rather than the silent failures

I'm a bit paranoid about upgrading after breaking changes in 3.9 removed the ability to stub ES imports with Sinon/Jasmine/etc..., since the section of the release notes made it sound pretty innocuous: "Getters/Setters are No Longer Enumerable".

Do you have any good resources for getting started with Reason? I've tried a couple times, but it seems like there's a schism between https://reasonml.github.io/ and https://reasonml.org/

We were seeing timeouts in east-1. I don't know what "normal" looks like, but Pingdom's map seems to show the whole east coast as affected https://livemap.pingdom.com/

People expect that companies pay for their ads to be presented. A big reason for buying likes seems to be deceiving people into believing the posts aren't ads. I'd say it's similar to "sponsored content" that doesn't disclose the fact that it's sponsored

Have any of the writers/editors who resigned singled out the "stick to sports" mandate from this week as their reason for leaving? It's clearly a contentious point between the management and workers, but based on their own reports and some outside reporting the new management was pretty bad.

"After I submitted my resignation, explaining that the ongoing undermining from my bosses made it impossible for me to continue to succeed in my job, and that I believed I was putting my staff at risk by staying, the CEO threw a tinier tantrum. When I passed Spanfeller in the office a week after I put in notice, he let out a cruel barking laugh, as if he was disgusted to be in my presence. I said “you can speak to me, you know,” and he responded in a tone familiar to anyone who was ever bullied in middle school. “I don’t want to,” he sneered."[0]

"Two people with knowledge told The Daily Beast that in a private meeting, Spanfeller reviewed the coverage of Lexus with the editor-in-chief of Jalopnik, a car-focused website, to ensure that its stories did not discourage the luxury automaker from advertising with G/O sites. On a separate occasion, sources said, the new CEO suggested that reporters and editors at Kotaku—once a Gawker-owned gaming website—bring a sales representative to interviews with gaming executives."[1]

Somewhat off-topic, but is there an RSS feed available for the V8 blog? Their posts are always interesting to me, but I've searched a few times with no luck.

> Mr. Campbell shared the photo with experts at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, who used classified technology to enhance the picture.

I was curious about this since I hadn't heard of this agency before. I have no experience with GEOINT but they seem to have a pretty impressive GH organization

Their support pages didn't seem to have any information on how to cancel. I emailed their support and requested to have my account deleted and got a polite reply from a human the next morning saying that they had done so.
