upheaval7276··on Your Phone Is About to Stop Being Yours: 70 Days Until Lockdown
What a surprising take coming from a Google employee.
upheaval7276··on I'm Tired of Being on the Network
if fasting (and spiking your blood glucose with ostensibly bigger meals) is required to enjoy food, then something has gone quite wrong. I assume you're referring to more whole and less processed/sugar-infested food. in that case, maintain a consistent diet of whole foods, eat small meals throughout the day, and your palate will adjust.
upheaval7276··on I'm Tired of Being on the Network
I guess that means no concerts, no banking, etc. Hardly a practical stance.

upheaval7276··on DeCloudflare
ironic that an article presumably about avoiding use of cloudflare is apparently unable to handle spikes in traffic caused by posting it on a forum
upheaval7276··on Creatine improves muscle mass and cognitive function even without exercise
the interesting claim about the study in the OP is that creatine increases muscle mass in non-trained/sedentary individuals. i haven't seen that claim previously (backed by a study) and took the question from user "15155" to be about that specifically. the claim that it increases muscle mass when combined with resistance training seems to be long-settled though
upheaval7276··on Creatine improves muscle mass and cognitive function even without exercise
that's an entirely different study with different goals
upheaval7276··on Creatine improves muscle mass and cognitive function even without exercise
good question, and DXA won't tell you the answer there (they used DXA in the study) So not an especially convincing study in that case, since creatine leads to increased water retention.
upheaval7276··on Creatine improves muscle mass and cognitive function even without exercise
this article is garbage, likely just written by AI without any proofreading. so many things in the article are wrong after reading the study a bit. for example, study says 73 people, article says 64. Article says only part of the participants were in a caloric deficit. Study says "All participants followed a diet plan aligned with the American Heart Association's macronutrient recommendations (55% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 30% fat) to induce a modest energy deficit of approximately 300–500 kcal/day.". etc, etc

skip the article, read the study at https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15502783.2026.2...

yep, just like cases now where people are locked out of their accounts for no reason with no recourse. totally solved!
upheaval7276··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
I'm suggesting we don't know how the account was hacked, which is true. could be due to incompetence or not. i don't know, nor do you
upheaval7276··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
we don't even know how it was compromised. was his password "password", or did the hackers exploit a gmail/google vulnerability?
upheaval7276··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
Yes, that's all true, all potential issues in theory. I'm still not seeing why this points to or supports the (valid) claim of incompetence in the FBI. That seems to be the angle most posters in this thread are taking, and it seems...misguided to me. Tilting at windmills. Let's call out the admin for their real failings, not nonsense like this. Getting your gmail account hacked does not reflect on you as a professional.
upheaval7276··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
yes, and...?
upheaval7276··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
it's definitely newsworthy, no doubt there. but i see so many people in this thread pointing to this as somehow a failing of the fbi, which it's not. i'm all for calling out this administration for its many many failings, but this is not one of them, and calling this a failure of the administration just hurts the credibility of everyone pointing out real issues with this administration.
upheaval7276··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
I'm no fan of this administration, at all, but this seems like a big fat nothingburger. They hacked a personal gmail account, not a government account, not government infra. Why is this not a failing of Google instead of the government? And surely the hackers would have eagerly released anything damning, but nothing damning seems to exist. What am i missing here?
upheaval7276··on [dead]
This doesn't seem to work at all, at least for me.

First, the test claimed that my connection suffers from isp header injection but didn't actually indicate which headers my isp might be injecting, or even what the consequence of thus is.

Second, it claimed I am using my isp DNS, which is not correct.

upheaval7276··on FLX1s phone is launched
I agree with you, and especially identify with the last sentence. However, I’m fed up with Apple and Google, and any alternative that doesn’t tie me to Google and has all functioning hardware and usable 5G or at least LTE with reasonable specs is a major win in my book. I’ve preordered the FLX1s. The FLX1, which is no longer in production, had a replaceable battery, but lack of a replaceable battery or non-pure Linux in an alternative phone certainly isn’t going to keep me chained to Apple or Google.

CORS doesn’t protect you from anything. Quite the opposite: it _allows_ cross origin communication (provided you follow the spec). The same origin policy is what protects you.

upheaval7276··on GitHub Is Down
I honestly can't believe how unreliable Github is. Outages are commonplace. It boggles my mind how nothing has been done to address the reliability regressions that have been creeping in ever since MS took over.

Caution to anyone who clicks this link: mute your speakers first, or else you'll have to deal with blaring obnoxious music via an auto-play video that isn't visible without scrolling.
upheaval7276··on WebKit fix: Quirk news.ycombinator to skip TextAutoSizing
That's a site-specific partial exemption from the same origin policy, as far as i can tell (without further context at the moment). Not a difference in how CORS works generally across Safari.

CORS is frustrating for a lot of developers as it can be tough to gain a complete understanding of the spec, and an understanding of the same origin policy is required. But implementation of the CORS spec(s) isn't notably different across modern browsers, now that IE is out of the picture. CORS was a real nightmare in IE. Microsoft even introduced an XHR cousin named XDR in IE10 to handle cross-origin requests, and it wasn't even a complete implementation of CORS.

This is a great resource to gain a more comprehensive understanding: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

>CORS works differently in every browser and every website.

Do you have some examples of this?

This is pretty cool. My 6 year old is into word searches and math, so this seems like it will be a fun game for him.

Sounds like you’re projecting a bit. Lots of reasons one might be up at 6, other than hype or a “meme”. For me, it’s the only time I have to work out (with a job and smaller kids).
