The twingo is for sale and on the road already.

In theory you could make a game where you’re max level everything from the start, but I think the pointlessness of that is obvious. The journey is the game to an extent, and the low attention requirements allow us to dream of all the possible efficiencies.

Why not? The income statements can’t lie. And if those fall short of expectations then the stock market is also gonna grill you.

But the private relay domain is only used when you sign up through “Sign in with Apple”? A thing you have to support if your iOS app already supports sign up with other third party authentication providers.

Some apps used the disk image as a simple way to bundle up a little “installer”. This is lost by sending a .zip file.

The disk image could put a background image with instruction visual, decide the visual placement of icons. Applications could include folders with brush packs, example documents, user manuals and such.

The fact that it was a disk image could be seen as confusing if you read that closely, but if you ignore the file type it was simply an icon that you could double click to open a piece of installer UI.

The last one seems like it could also be problematic, how do you distinguish the 1960s decade from the literal year 196. In this case it’s kind of obvious since photography wasn’t very popular in the year 196.

I think plagiarism in academia is mostly concerned with morality, not so much legality, i.e. copyright law isn't really what we're considering here.

Getting the feeling that Socrates had a different definition for "powerful" than most.

Lots of people have a hard time just freebasing in an abstract conversation about how they work and storytelling “My Journey” type stuff but work just fine in an actual team setting with concrete products, features, and problems to think and talk about.

That’s funny, but most new cpus today have more L3 cache than those computers had memory and disk space combined.

THey need to provide all the API's that nodeJS provides. I'm sure nodejs has a lot of lines too even though they also have the js engine as a library.

Kind of like how “Stuff Made Here” has devolved into mark rober content.

I hope you count "stimulating our minds for either learning or imaginative purposes" as one of those outcomes because if you only count "work produced and kpis met" as an outcome then that sounds pretty bleak.

Their doc linked at the bottom actually has a pretty nice example.

I believe the concern is if your primary key in the database is a serial number it might be exposed to users unless you do extra work to hide that ID from any external APIs and if there are any flaws in your authorization checks it can allow enumeration attacks exposing private or semi-private info. With UUIDs being virtually unguessable that makes it less of a concern.

I feel like there are probably cinematic film-making tricks you can use to imply a very dark scene without serving #111 pixels all over the screen.

Because HN is not really a forum geared towards sarcastic quips unless they are extraordinarily funny.

Farmland is approximately 2/3 of the country. Most is being used for animal feed and then the animals are exported. I think we’ll make due.

Those vehicles typically have many more axles and double-wide wheels to distribute the load.

You sort of get that if you're consistent in working on a separate branch, rebasing, and keeping the merge commit when you finally merge.

It is proprietary, but it's not like it's difficult to decode or interpret.

Around 250GB, several terabytes once uncompressed I assume.

Thanks for posting. The rest of the blog is also short and sweet, I’m struggling a bit with self worth and self criticism so I found it very touching and relatable.

It’s kind of interesting how I’ve come to expect blog posts to be much longer since microblogging pretty much exists exclusively on social media.

How long before some court declares such practice equal to evidence tampering or obstruction?

In my memory of Plex on my Apple TV device it was off by default and hidden in an advanced menu or something. Not impossible by any means, just annoying.

I’m using Infuse as well, and it’s pretty amazing. The main thing that Infuse does differently from all the others is that it always does Direct Play (in Plex parlance) so you don’t need anything powerful or power hungry to be hosting the video.

Most devices that will play video these days are powerful enough to do the decoding themselves and have the bandwidth available.

I like the yellow theory. Looks like the top of a paint can spraying some yellow paint.

They could try the WebKit strategy [1]; a strict policy against performance regression:

> We adhere to a simple directive for all work we do on WebKit: The way to make a program faster is to never let it get slower.

How exactly would you check if a webpage in the Wayback Machine precisely matches a thing that used to be? You would also have to trust whoever checks them.

I have definitely seen that behaviour on my M1 MacBook Air, though not recently.

At the time I tried to do a screen recording but it didn’t show up. I figure it’s some weird hardware acceleration thing with the cursor that gets borked after a bad wake up.
