russumon Show HN: Scroll through all 43252003274489856000 Rubik's Cube states

Oh wow, you don’t do “Open in New Tab” when reading HN? Thanks for the idea, I should really try that, maybe it will help with my infinite open tabs problem.

russumon We're pausing the Agent SDK credit change (Anthropic)

probably bunch of people switching to codex

russumon Greek Alphabet Cards

Are there good sets out there for other languages: English, German, etc?

russumon Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc

> every other article ended in " ... written in Go"

What happened to that: is Go no longer considered great / popular?

russumon Show HN: Nissan's Leaf app doesn't have a home screen widget so I made my own

What a persistence by the author, but why would Nissan make this so hard?

russumon Show HN: Nissan's Leaf app doesn't have a home screen widget so I made my own

Long-pressing the chat in your thread list gives you a quick preview seemingly without sending read receipts.

russumon How babies and young children learn to understand language

fyi one of the App Store screenshots misleadingly shows "German" language in "Preview" when in reality it doesn't seem to be available at all

russumon Proton Mail discloses user data leading to arrest in Spain

Knowing this, couldn't the foreign country forge the case to look like something that's also illegal in Switzerland?

russumon Show HN: I scraped 25M Shopify products to build a search engine

> and between $100k - $1m in revenue

Does "Built With" provide that data? How accurate do you think it might be?

russumon Show HN: Telegram bot to filter new HN stories by keywords

Cool! Any pros over @hackernews_alerts_bot?

russumon Show HN: I built a dataset of 25k+ Gumroad products to spot market opportunities

Can you also see the actual reviews of the products, or just the total number per star? If the reviews are also available there's potential room for sentiment analysis to automatically determine the common complaints about those products.

russumon New credit card rules in India: recurring card payments to be affected

That doesn't work though. Those "disposable" cards are not really removed, at least not in my experience, and will still be charged. The Revolut app even conveniently notifies about the charges (but is not telling that they're from the supposedly discarded cards).

russumon United B772 at Denver on Feb 20th 2021, engine inlet separates from engine

Ugh, that "loosing all teeth" dream is very disturbing, quite annoying and even painful! Good thing is that I usually don't get it unless I had quite a few drinks the night before.

russumon Twitter says an attacker used its API to match usernames to phone numbers

I've had apps ask me to go to system settings myself to enable some permissions because I've disabled it via the said OS prompt.

russumon Why only 2% of Chinese pay any income tax

It seems couple of "k" characters are to be removed from some of those numbers.

russumon Ask HN: What discontinued company/product do you wish was still around?

Surface Book does that. It can be charged via either a USB-C port or a Surface Connect port (which also happens to be similar to MagSafe i.e. magnetically attached).

russumon Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2018)

russumon $36k Google App Engine RCE

Huh, so you can run binaries in GAE by downloading a statically linked app to /tmp, chmod'ing & executing it? And there would be no limits on how it's run? That's crazy & pretty cool!

russumon Show HN: Cryptare – Cryptocurrency Portfolio, Alerts and News for iOS

Curious what made you make separate "See it in action!" & "Watch a quick GIF!" buttons that are taking the visitors away from the main landing page to only show an .mp4 & a .gif file? If the videos are too big to autoplay - maybe you could play them on hover, right inside the phone that's already placed next to the buttons? (sorry, no comment on the app itself, there are plenty other ones doing the same thing or maybe I just missed what's it doing differently).

russumon Nestle says it will cut sugar in chocolate by 40%

4,000,000 / 8,000 == 500 liters per day per person?

russumon It May Not Cost You More to Drive Home in a Climate-Friendly Car

> for only $60/month after rebates

How is that possible? Even if you got a 72-month loan that would only be $4,320 with the MSRP being 'From $25,120'.

russumon Securityheaders.io – Analyse your HTTP response headers

What other/similar analyzers are out there?

russumon New York is installing its promised public gigabit Wi-Fi

>>The keys are (I'm guessing) just stored in the SIM card

They're not. They keys (and many other things) are stored in "carrier settings" that your provider pushes to your smartphone. In the past we had to set things up like APN & etc manually for the internet to work but not anymore with the settings being pushed automatically (if the provider supports it).

On iOS you can view the current version of pushed settings by seeing the Settings > General > About -> Carrier option.

"Carrier settings updates are small files that can include updates from Apple and your carrier to carrier-related settings, such as network, calling, cellular data, messaging, personal hotspot, and voicemail settings". [1]

russumon An Interview with Sue Black

Focusing on one of the input fields and hitting 'escape' worked for me...

russumon GitHub Student Developer Pack

Hm, that's nice of them, although this page states you aren't allowed to do that: "Keep in mind that we only allow one promo code per account, so if you’ve redeemed one in the past you may not add another. To see your promo code history please visit your billing page."

russumon MIT Students Battle State's Demand for Their Bitcoin Miner's Source Code

Cause, you know, they can't do "View Page Source".

russumon The Cost of My Mother’s Cardiac Care in the United States and India

Sorry for your loss.

I don't really know how all that works but just curious - is it documented / can they prove that the pre-existing condition wasn't mentioned at that time? Sounds pretty convenient for the insurance company to purposely "forget" something like this and then abuse that information when the time comes since, unfortunately, the person who could argue it is no longer alive.

russumon Japanese railway operator to license maglev tech to US for free

This reminds me how once several years ago I had to fly MKE -> ORD -> LHR where the distance between MKE and ORD is about 70 miles. The MKE -> ORD flight was full by the way and it took ridiculous 2 hours to get there (from boarding to leaving the plane). I think I did it because the direct flight was several hundred $ extra and I happened to be in MKE area anyway.

russumon Dropbox and Uber: Worth Billions, But Still Inches From Disaster

Couldn't you get the "Round trip, SFO-PVG: $700" ticket and then use it only one way PVG-SFO?

russumon What is wrong with this message?

I too share first and last name with some actor. This would be plain stupid of Google to suspend accounts based on that.
