Website seems to be getting the HN Hug right now. Alt link: https://web.archive.org/web/20260112142332/https://blog.smar...

Didn't quite figure that one out. I guess the AI isn't a Rick and Morty fan https://anycrap.shop/product/plumbus

It appears there has. I didn't realize mIRC was even still being developed but by the looks of it it's actually quite actively developed https://www.mirc.com/news.html

I wondered that as well. Shame they didn't give him credit if he truly was the first one to point it out.

Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!

Mea culpa. I got this as a notification when signing into RIF and noticed this actual reddit post from the RIF dev hadn't been posted. I should have looked for the story from other sources, thanks for the links!

But who would prosecute such a crime? The FBI? Seems unlikely in this scenario

No, in many cases it's a much slower agonizing death. But you might get a gold watch at the end!

Sounds a bit like that episode of American Auto.

I read .ca as .cn which was a big part of my hesitation. Thanks for making the (not so) risky click for me

Yeah, I'm not clicking on that

"Classroom libraries" are for students to pick up a small book during a break in teaching to encourage reading. Usually these books aren't long and don't have a formal checkout process because they'll stay within the classroom walls.

It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out this wasn't talking about a real incident. I figured flock was about some Kubernetes/VM thing.

As if I needed yet another place to have information tied to me out on the public searchable internet.

This feels more like the answer is "the only winning move is not to play". Every comment, blog post, Tweet, etc. you put out there is more input for an AI to learn and copy you. If you're truly worried about that, don't train the AI.

They sound cool but apparently have a sponge that holds the ink between the tank and the jet and eventually that becomes saturated and it's basically game over for the printer because it doesn't sound like the sponge is user serviceable https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25047231

Why use multiple apps to text people? I don't us FB messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, or any of that. I use Signal. Signal lets me send a message to ANYONE else with a phone number protocol agnostic. That's very useful, especially when I'm talking to committed iMessage users.

People with an Android phone that talk to people with iPhones where one of those parties doesn't use Signal. That's who.

I won't be using this. You know what I do use on Signal, SMS. But apparently useful things don't make a good Gen-Z app.

Not to be that guy but it's a little annoying that this has been used and safe for years in Europe but the FDA wants to gather more data but was perfectly okay supporting mandates for the covid vaccine that hadn't received near the amount of testing.

I agree SMS is a terrible standard in terms of privacy/security but as I do live in North America and frequency communicate with iphone users (and Android users but they don't have "green bubble syndrome") that have no intention of using Signal I need an SMS app. Back when it was TextSecure I had separate apps and really detested it since I only knew one other person with TS so it was basically my app to talk to him. Now I'm going back to that model except I maybe have 3 contacts that I talk to regularly that use Signal. That's hardly worth it.

It doesn't mention whether this changes the power/torque output of the engine which is a big consideration for diesel engines

Ba dum tss

We used to play this in high school but it was always how many clicks to get to Nazi. We were a clever bunch.

We seem to have HN hugged it. https://web.archive.org/web/20220826103546/https://jakob.spa...

Part of the "will outlive us" is not buying a new one every year. I know I've been trying to reduce the waste I produce lately and going with cast iron pans has been a part of that plan. Buying one every year instead of taking the 1 minute to wipe it with oil and then throwing it in your oven for an hour is laziness. If you don't like the smell and you have an outdoor grill (preferably one where you can set a temperature) it's pretty easy to season your skillets in one of those and let the wind deal with the smell of polymerizing oil.

There's been a lot of discussion in the cast iron fanatic circles about how terrible Lodge's pre-seasoning is and how it's better to build up your own. I own one Lodge and two other brands and I've noticed the other two I seasoned myself are basically as good as Teflon and the Lodge (which admittedly hasn't seen as much cooking) sticks like it doesn't have any seasoning at all. YMMV I guess but I feel like it's worth putting in the effort to season yourself and keep up the seasoning.
