Maybe I’m misremembering but I feel like Steve Jobs era Apple was much better at admitting mistakes. Nowadays even fiascos like the butterfly keyboard don’t warrant an apology, just a quiet change.

The one time I flew from Austin, there was a band playing at a restaurant in the ticketed area. Going through security it was bad (you could only really hear the drums) but once I was through it was downright painful. Really makes you wonder how these decisions get made.

I’ve witnessed some of the most talented leaders of my generation hit rock bottom due to burnout—hustling through the grind at 4 AM, hungry for that next breakthrough.

These are the visionary disruptors, chasing that high-level synergy between ancient wisdom and modern innovation. They’ve faced the struggle, stayed up in low-budget home offices, and scaled their mindset while contemplating the future of the industry.

They’ve been transparent about their journey, showing true vulnerability under the pressure of the city, and finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. #Leadership #Resilience #Innovation #Mindset #Entrepreneurship

Sounds like Flightradar24

From the article, using UNLOGGED tables puts them in memory, not on disk

I block YouTube ads on iOS by watching in the browser (with no YouTube app installed) and using AdGuard.

Thank you. The only IOC I know of is the International Olympic Committee.

It looks broken in mobile Safari as well

So the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, who died in 1973, will enter the public domain in New Zealand (and other countries) next year? Or do they not, as he presumably published his works in the UK? Or they enter the public domain in New Zealand et al. but not in other countries?

I'm aware of that mirror. What I'm talking about in my comment is that there was a time when the development of the Linux kernel actually moved to GitHub, due to problems with the regular Linux kernel development infrastructure.

Linux kernel development happens on Git. In fact, Git was created for the Linux kernel. Maybe instead of Git you mean GitHub? I can't find a link now, but if I remember right there was a brief period when Linux kernel development had to move to GitHub. Maybe when kernel.org got hacked? Linus Torvalds didn't like the way that GitHub formatted merge commits [1] (from a later date, but I think it was the same issue).

Isn't that the point of X-ray spectroscopy? As a layperson I don't know of any point in trying to "photograph" a single atom, but surely being able to do spectroscopy on a single atom is really useful.

It's quite clear to me that tech companies know that reneging on WFH will cause some employees to leave. I think that this is actually the entire point. You can do a soft layoff, without ever having to say the word layoff, and without ever getting "Tech company XYZ announces layoffs" headlines.

The classic first reply to the Show HN: Dropbox thread lives on in this comment

If you scroll down on the article in the OP, you'll see that Cantonese readings of Chinese characters are also context-specific, and they appear to have solved that problem with ligatures.

"Badass developers" is barely less trite than "rockstar ninja developers"

I must have missed a few versions. The last version of GNOME I remember using is 3 point something

You might as well be describing YouTube or Twitter

I too was hoping that this was a bizarre crossover between aviation and entomology

There wasn't much talent involved in this hack. The CEO and solo self-taught developer of the psychotherapy place left a test server running on the public internet with the username and password root / root.

Radio Free Asia has repeatedly put out exaggerated or sensational claims about North Korea, at least some of which have turned out to be false. Nobody is endorsing NK, executions, etc.

Ken White (of "Popehat" twitter fame) has a great article explaining how this and similar court cases during the first world war are the origin of the (poor) "fire in a crowded theater" argument against certain kinds of free speech:

That's my point

As a United States citizen, you can vote in congressional and presidential elections from Antarctica or low Earth orbit, but not if you're a resident of Puerto Rico (an American territory with a population of 3.3 million).

Japan has had this for years, but California's app for this is still in beta IIRC.

It's funny to me that one of the world's tech capitals has taken so long to get this rolling. To be fair, California doesn't have earthquakes as regularly as Japan (at least not of the same magnitude). I guess this is another symptom of our crumbling institutions in the US, we only get services quickly if there's a profit to be made. In the popular imagination, innovation is only the domain of private companies.

Rich kids tend not to have college debt.

I read an interesting Korn Ferry article on the term that the newest entrants to the workforce have for not going “above and beyond” their specific work duties: they call it quiet quitting.

No they don't. Only opinion columnists call it that.

This is pretty rich coming from the purveyors of miniature office prison cells

I found this [1]. Looks like it's a rumor at this point.

I think the Kindle browser runs at least basic JS. In any case it refreshes maybe every half hour or so, which is plenty for weather.

Come to think of it I think the Kindle browser is based on WebKit, so it probably runs any JS that the version of WebKit supports, but given the low-power processor and the 0.5 FPS display, you probably won't get anything too crazy to work.
