243423443··on EU's five regulations that will change how we live, drive, and use the internet
Thanks for the translation.

I am actually very much in favor of Active Speed Limiting. From a safety perspective and in order to make driving less attractive in comparison to public transportation and other alternatives.

243423443··on BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork
AFAIK, the code of the network "plugin" is dynamically loaded, but the version string is hardcoded in Bambu Studio. The analogy is not exactly right IMO; the browser is not restricted to a specific website or a specific version of that site.
243423443··on Waymo says can't avoid bike lanes because riders want to be dropped off in them
That, and wear a sweater with a stop sign on it.
243423443··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
I have to say this was how I used GitHub copilot in vscode. I Used opus 4.6 for most tasks. I am not sure I want to keep my copilot plan now.
243423443··on Show HN: In a single HTML file, an app to encourage my children to invest
I made a similar thing for my adult flatmates when I was still a student. I was less 8bit and less a game, but the same priciple.

The incentive was a slight rent reduction at the end of each month.

It completely failed to motivate my friends to do more chores, but it landed me my first job.

243423443··on Space Elevator
Did you read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson? In the second part of the book, they use this and related technologies.

I just clicked the temperature thingy in annoyance because I don't use Fahrenheit and to my delight, it just switched to Celcius
243423443··on DuckDB NPM packages 1.3.3 and 1.29.2 compromised with malware
Care to explain?
243423443··on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones
5040 years is a long time ago.
243423443··on Liberux: Linux phone
The images look weird. The faces are scary.
243423443··on Evolving my ergonomic setup (or, my laptop with extra steps)
I had a similar experience. Until I started exercising, I had very bad pain in my shoulders and neck from too much desk work. Every couple of weeks I would develop a "stiff neck". I also had pain in my wrists occasionally.

Lifting weights for one hour twice a week has alleviated my problems completely. I feel healthier than ever!

243423443··on Smartphone buyers meh on AI, care more about battery life
Google Photos has that. But I guess you mean locally?
243423443··on 'Islands' of regularity discovered in the famously chaotic three-body problem
They did not have the power or technology to move stars.
243423443··on Beginner dev looks at how YouTube sends videos
I enjoyed the writing style.
243423443··on The Bond villain compliance strategy
> A circular economy of crypto does exist - it’s small vs. the speculation, but people do receive crypto and spend crypto without ever cashing out to fiat.

Can you provide examples that do not involve extortion or drugs?

243423443··on Sweden (Not Switzerland)
I overheard a conversation just this morning where a young man was explaining to his friend that he was from Chzechnya, not Czechia. This apparently resolved a lot of questions for the friend.
243423443··on HTTP/3 adoption is growing rapidly
I did not know that protocol ossification was a such a thing. Thanks for the link, it's an interesting article.

It says that middleboxes near the edge are more likely to be the cause of ossification. Are there any stats about that? Such as some manufacturers or software companies "infringing" on the end-to-end principle more often than others?

243423443··on HTTP/3 adoption is growing rapidly
Frankly, I am a bit disappointed with the article. I fail to follow the argument that an encrypted header makes it easier to adopt HTTP/3 & QUIC because middleboxes cannot see the header. With HTTP/1.1 & TCP, the middleboxes should not be changing the TCP packets anyway, no? Also, the author does not point out that QUIC builds on UDP instead of directly building on IP like TCP does.
243423443··on Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React
Effectively as in "they have the same effect". The difference was stated in the comment that you replied to: One is for general memoization, the other just for functions. You can use useMemo exclusively if you prefer.
243423443··on SPA view transitions land in Chrome 111
That doesn't work anymore. At least in Ventura.
243423443··on A Long-Lost Branch of the Nile Helped in Building Egypt’s Pyramids

243423443··on How and why I stopped buying new laptops
By your argument, it does not make sense not to eat meat, because they will kill the cow anyway.
243423443··on An odd discovery on Spotify
Why would you only listen to English songs?
243423443··on Hate paywalls? 12ft.io is the answer
The first site I tried (nytimes) does not work.
243423443··on Sunken Moskva Could Be the Biggest Naval Combat Loss in 40 Years
Do you have a source for the cardboard ERA plates? I only found the following, but apparently there is supposed to be cardboard in between the layers: https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/t73p1e/what_found...

243423443··on Bitcoin becomes Legal Tender in El Salvador
It's sad to see comments like this on hn. I thought this place was supposed to have meaningful discussions.
243423443··on Klarna users are being signed in to random accounts
"you can just roll back fraudulent fiat transactions. Fuck up in crypto? Poof, the money is gone..."

Do you know why Ethereum Classic exists?
