That's very cool - does it support corporate proxy stuff like PAC files, HTTPS, NTLM, Kerberos, authenticating with current user, etc? For example would I be able to write a rule to capture traffic going to certain proxies and redirect it to another proxy? Sorry if this is explained somewhere already but I couldn't find anything about it on your webpage or github. Many thanks for your time!
Do they though? I see the WFH movement as a threat to the existence of my job. If the entire IT department works from home, what's stopping the company from moving it to India, Bangladesh or Pakistan? If you live in North America or Europe then I feel like you should fight against WFH, since a lot of smart people in the world would gladly do your job for half the salary.
Electronics prices in the EU are simply crazy. Recently i wanted to get a small mini-PC that would be energy efficient and I could run some AI experiments on. Reading online forums, everyone's like "just get a mac mini, couple hundred bucks and you're golden". I check the apple website and turns out they actually cost almost a thousand euro for the 16GB/256GB model.
But its the same with a lot of other electronics too - people online will tell you something like "just get a raspberry for $40" but then you look at the European ebay and you're in for at least a 100 euro and that's for a used one.
Its also one of the most sketchy and dangerous. If you hop on an escooter, you're not going to find a homeless dude there jerking off, there's no vomit anywhere, noone will assault your wife and you're not getting stabbed nor mugged. Can't say the same about the Paris metro.
That's exactly what the fine was for - apparently I should have displayed a prompt and asked the user if he allows to see a google maps widget. It's definitely my fault but to my defence I've never seen anything like this on any website in my life.
Obviously not but there are some similar stories in local media, in this case it was a google font, but you'd get a similar fine for adobe typekit or whatever else that's located on a US server or cdn.

If they're in violation of EU privacy laws then how are they not fined for it or outright banned? I got a fine from the local court in Germany because I put a google maps widget on my company's "about us" page, the court gave me 30 days to remove it.
What kind of a bubble do the Ubuntu devs live in if they dont see a reason to show even a single screenshot of their product? What goes through the head of the product manager writing a whole essay and a full extensive changelog but not bothering to add a fucking picture?
How do we know it was even him in the picture? It's literally just a jpeg.
My conspiracy theory is that the MSS posts a pic of some random dude who looks alike every year or so while the real Jack Ma is currently on the bottom of the Yangtze river.
I used a HDD connected via USB as a boot drive and after a few days of working fine it suddenly wasn't able to mount it any more, it was something to do with not enough power current in the USB ports. Lost all data and had to reformat the whole thing.
"As a sidenote, the author says he does not like his kids playing "war" in Chinese playgrounds - I wonder how he will feel about the active shooter drills that are now part of every kids life in the US. Note: I'm not Chinese."
Well obviously, since if you were Chinese you'd know that kids in China are doing drills to protect themselves against psychos with knives who attack schools. Like actual grownups with machetes randomly killing children. Those attacks are happening all the time by the way.
I wanted to check this point and asked Bing to suggest some good business laptops below $800. It suggested me a $2k dell xps, a $1.5k LG gram and some piece of shit chromebook. I guess we'll never have objective product comparisons free of seo bullshit.
I'd want an uncensored GPT-3 too and I don't want an AI girlfriend - I just find that chatgpt has too much moral censorship to be fun to use. Want to ask about a health condition? Nope, forbidden. Have a question related to IT security? That's a big no-no. Anything remotely sexual even in educational context? No can do. Yesterday I finished watching a TV show about French intelligence and asked it to recommend some good books about espionage - it told me I shouldn't be reading such things because it's dangerous.
I ended up deleting my account, i won't allow some chatbot made by a couple 20 year old silicon valley billionnaires teach me about ethics and morality.
It's so true. When I'm in Germany with my wife, I like to take her to restaurants and ask for a real bill at the end (not hand-scribbled on a piece of paper) because I want to pay by card. My wife gets annoyed because this pretty much guarantees we'll stay there another 20 minutes while the staff pretends to mishear, then the internet is down, then the terminal doesnt work, "but are you sure you dont have cash", etc etc. It's hilarious and never gets old, still happens in 2023 right in the center of Munich.
I'm just shocked at the reaction from the HN crowd in this post. The guy lives in the west but returns to Russia, then blames Ukraine for being invaded, actually kills a teen girl and writes shit about her in the very same post added to HN, and blames everyone around him for his situation. Yet HN loves him because he wrote a cool Javascript library. Blows my mind.
Ukraine. I can't leave, another country invaded mine unprovoked and they are killing my people so I kinda have to stay. I am looking forward to your argument why this makes me a bad person.
Right, but it was after the invasion of Georgia, green men in Donetsk, and the annexation of Crimea? So 3 wars started in the span of 10 years and the guy returns because things are cheaper than in the west.
Well, I hope he enjoys his beloved home country now. He will have to stay there for quite a while.
A friend of mine is part of the jury that decides on how to distribute millions of euros in EU research grants. There are 6 professors in the jury and the their compensation is exactly 100 euro per decision. You could essentially just make up a bullshit "project", bribe 3 of them with a few thousand bucks and secure yourself a million euro research grant.
Would be cool if I could just ctrl+v my screenshot instead of having to open an image editor, saving it, and then manually uploading it to the website. I think snag.gy uses some simple method to collect screenshots from a paste command, maybe there is some easy way to implement it.
Not really, Copernicus' entire life and all his decades-long studies were paid for by the catholic church and his research was accepted by the Pope himself, even to the point of being taught at Catholic universities. Noone "persecuted" him in any way.
It only changed over a hundred years later due to the opposition from the Protestants that his books became banned.
