sammy2255··on I program on the subway
I don't understand how this is possible. I've heard the New York Subway system is riddled with antisocial behaviour, homeless, drunks, people pissing everywhere, etc.

Yes?
sammy2255··on We pwned X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord through a supply-chain attack
They've already proved themselves as competent. $50k a year to a billion dollar company is nothing. Even if they find 0 vulnerabilities a year it's still worth it to them
sammy2255··on Tell HN: HN was down
You should add a graph of visitors per-minute for the status page for the past 24 hours or so. Would really help for situations like this
sammy2255··on Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help
Every nation in the world is on stolen land by that logic. This is pathetic virtue signalling
sammy2255··on iPhone Typos? It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video]
I'm in the same boat. This is bewildering to me, because I recall Apple making a joke about (it being fixed) in this in the 2023 developer conference:

sammy2255··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Pre market was red for all tech stocks today before the outage even happened
sammy2255··on Do not put your site behind Cloudflare if you don't need to
I don't think anyone is arguing that.. the truth is that all these big companies do actually need to
sammy2255··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
There's no evidence to suggest it was a result of a DDoS attack

sammy2255··on Cloudflare tells U.S. govt that foreign site blocking efforts are trade barriers
