bni··on Klarna CEO: Company stopped hiring because AI 'can do all of the jobs'
Great that Apple Pay is growing a lot right now. Every other e-commerce website has it.

Better UX than Klarna and no scummy dark patterns to add "late fees".

In Sweden they are infamous for using dark patterns to make people forget to pay their invoice, and then immediately add a large fee.
bni··on Buying a TV in 2025? Expect lower prices, more ads, and an OS war
"Dumb" TVs don't really exist anymore, unless you get something from the very low end, but those have crap picture quality and build quality.

Best option is LG OLED, never connect it to the network and set it to startup on HDMI1 always.

bni··on TCC and the macOS Platform Sandbox Policy
When using Desktop Linux, how are applications prevented from using camera, microphone, address book, etc without user agreeing to it?

bni··on Ask HN: What are your most regretted tech purchases?
Secretlab gaming chair. Horrible to sit in. Sold it after a while but should have sent it back.
bni··on Commodore Computers New Website
Not this again
bni··on Weight-loss drug found to shrink muscle in mice, human cells
For me my cravings shifted from cookies/candy/ice cream to craving food that actually does something for my training, like a real meal.

Also for me if I go to crossfit after workday ends I don't get cravings the rest of that day. If anything I want to go to sleep instead of eating candy in front of the TV.

1NF crime against humanity?

Safari + Ka-Block! + Vinegar
bni··on New Mac Mini with M4
No, it looks great on my 1440p OLED. Windows on the other hand in old Control Panel for example it looks like ass.
bni··on The Prophet of Cyberspace (2016)
Apple is making a tv-series right now
bni··on Unit tests as documentation
I do Integrunit tests

Rules: Cover a whole functionality, not just a single file/class/function.

Can't use I/O except reading in-codebase test-data files.

Must be fast.

Mock only external technical dependencies, not own code.

bni··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
This is great, hope it takes off
bni··on DOSBox-X: Enhanced Fork of DOSBox for Expanded DOS and Retro PC Support
For me I find "DOSBox Staging" works best. I prefer to do the config in a .conf file instead of GUI

It also has native Mac Apple Silicon build. I find something very satisfying with emulating DOS and Windows 95 on a very fast non-x86 machine.

bni··on Pro bettors disguising themselves as gambling addicts
Not new. "punter accounts" (accounts with large losses) has been worth money for at least 20 years.
bni··on Meta Quest 3S
The lenses is the most important "spec". Also the hardest to put numbers on, have to be experienced.

bni··on Dave's “Games Under NT 4.0” page (1998)
Why would someone write "Under" instead of "On" in this context?

Was this common back then?

bni··on Study links bananas, oats and yoghurt to greater diabetes risk in susceptible
Yoghurt (with some exceptions) contain lots of sugar.

Better to eat greek yoghurt or quark.

bni··on Gnome Files: A detailed UI examination
So what should be?
bni··on SDL3 new GPU API merged
Is this related to https://github.com/grimfang4/sdl-gpu ? Or is it a completely separate thing with the same name?
bni··on Apple Approves iDOS Emulator
I don have experience with emulation on iPad. But I have been using DosBox (don't have JIT) and FS-UAE (don't have JIT on Apple Silicon) on my M1 Mac mini for several years.

It is more than fast enough to emulate everything perfectly.

bni··on Ask HN: Why are AI generated images so shiny/glossy?
Also people in them look like caucasian anime characters. Why is that?
