What are the “in-app purchases”?

The entertainment news media and it’s consequences has been disastrous for the human race

The enemy is both a diabolical mastermind, and feeble-minded. Truly a conundrum.

While I personally wouldn’t care about it, I can understand someone taking offense at copilot for spitting out their code verbatim and claiming it isn’t theirs.

Neither GPT nor Dall-e produces content that anyone can point to and say “they are laundering MY work”.

The closest we’ve been to that point is the image generators spitting out copyright watermarks, but they are not clearly attributable to any one single image (afaik).

Counter point: Chinese spying will not affect you to any degree. Your own country spying on you is much more of an issue.

You forgot a few:

Company owner: 5M Company owners wife: 5M …

people definitely made out with a hefty payday.

Are you saying most tech people don’t deserve their positions?

What would you preferred solution be?

Doesnt matter without participation from China and India

Where do you live if you take the money out of the house for retirement? In a practical sense, it’s a cost.

He spends a lot of money to be heard. Nobody was listening to him until he started throwing millions around to organizations to platform him.

Waiting for an ambulance is not a viable strategy everywhere. In Canada, you’ll be lucky to see one show up at all.

This is because his death was misreported in the media a few times. I’m giving it a day before trusting this report of his death.

Why are you stuck in your house 24/7? Don’t you have anything better to do?

His violin performance is one of my favorite pieces to listen to: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GXqc7e1M4DM

Oh what could’ve been…

> This seemed odd to me, surely using a cached response would always be faster than making the whole request again! Well it turns out that in some cases, the network is faster than the cache.

Did I miss a follow up on this, or did it remain unanswered as to what the benefit of racing against the network is?

The post basically says that sometimes the cache is slower because of throttling or bugs, but mostly bugs.

Why is Firefox sending an extra request instead of figuring out what is slowing down the cache? It seems like an overly expensive mitigation…

Sounds somewhat similar to Dakka: https://www.dakka.dev/

While there isn’t a risk of cash being banned or anything of the sort, we should cherish it as if it can be.

Cash gives you a level of financial discretion for which the only comparable alternative is gold, but more liquid.

My apologies. My emotions have been getting the better of me lately.

It’s difficult to read an endless stream of comments about how I should personally be punished for the actions of someone I despise.

I have done nothing wrong, and yet so many people are saying that I should be poor, hungry and destitute unless if I die trying to take down Putin.

Seeing these sort of posts that implicitly suggest that Russians somehow are unaware of the war in Ukraine is ridiculous.

Everyone in Russia knows. People in Russia have been in a state of panic since the day the invasion began. They know what's going on. The government isn't really hiding it.

If anything, Westerners have been more propagandized about the conflict than Russians. Sure, there is a significant segment of Russia that has fully bought into Putin's propaganda -- But nearly every westerner has bought into the West's propaganda.

If you can't place Ukraine on a map, you do not have an informed opinion. If you haven't heard "Donbass" earlier than a week ago, you are not informed. If you weren't aware of the 2014 coup in Ukraine, you are not informed.

Please stop pretending to be enlightened. If someone wholeheartedly believes Putin, your little banner won't change their mind.

Side-note: the Russian text is awful. It roughly translates to:

> The continuous war against your Ukrainian brothers has carried away many victims.

> The truth is being obscured from you your government (yes, the grammar is wrong)

> Please, spread information

What is your goal here?

How exactly is this “rate my recruiter” if the recruiters aren’t named? My basic expectations for such a website is that I can lookup an individual recruiter, an agency or a company. The first is the most important.

For reference, Rate my prof doesn’t do initials.

I’m unreasonably proud of setting up automated patching for NGINX to include PageSpeed: https://github.com/knyzorg/nginx-pagespeed

The whole project is basically just a ‘sed’ command, but piecing everything together (where to get the source code, how to build nginx, make Debian packages, publish packages, etc) was a major effort.

I found myself in the valley between people who didn’t know and had no means of learning, and those who knew and for whom it was obvious. I’ve learned a lot.

The only legal platform should be iOS, anything else should require a federal license.

Only once regular people can no longer write dangerous code will the music industry finally be safe.

For all the obscure examples of prior art being given in this thread, this is also how Keybase did proofs with HN.

Is this the new escalation process?

1. Twitter 2. Hackernews 3. Full page ad

This is rather dramatic for what it is. I identify with the geeks and empathize with the situation.

However, we don’t have it nearly as bad as the artists who design coca-cola ads.

In tech yes, not so much elsewhere

Surprisingly few people seem to have heard of modpagespeed which I think can be attributed to an absence of packages coupled with the difficulty of installation.

I knew I had to build something like this the day GitHub actions came out, but haven't gotten around to it until the holidays!
