I see EU always regulating all sorts of things, ostensibly to help consumers, but why aren't they doing something about scam airlines like Ryanair?

It's a little too on the nose, isn't it?

We simply can't have an Internet where you'll need to comply with 100% of legalisation of all 193+ countries at all times; it's untenable.

For ofcom, 4chan is just a sticking their toes in the pool. If they fall, ofcom will have complete freedom to censor the entire Internet as they wish. It's madness.

That is released in May

It's wild because saying that NAT is required kind of admits your machines are vulnerable on the LAN! You should have good firewall rules no matter what.

Cool post. So much could be done on a couple hundred megabytes of ram back in the day, with spinning rust as storage to boot!

What you connect to first is the exe.dev jump server/management interface. You can ssh into your vm from there. Try typing help

It's kind of funny our experiences are so diffent. I almost immediately surmised it's some sort of on the fly generated vm you can access via a ssh jumpserver. Which it is! It's actually really neat. It's quite obvious that the authors want us to just ssh into it and try it out first.

After that incident, I created an incident review document and suggested a small review of the tasks that should be prioritized to prevent it from happening again. I got carried away and created an initial presentation for the other backend Chapter Leads with a backend strategy. I do not remember it perfectly, but it included hexagonal architecture, a testing pyramid with contract tests to avoid breaking APIs used by mobile apps, and more

Definitely got carried away. When coming to a new org, it's always good to learn the ropes a bit before fatiguing the team with more work, processes, and burdens.

CDD, or CV-driven development, as I like to call it.

I mean, why not? There's few drawbacks. Low power usage, high performance, stable OS that can about the same software Linux can. You get the added benefit of interfacing with Apple's ecosystem and iCloud, so you could e.g. back up your Photos database remotely. You can remote in and have a fully featured desktop available anywhere.

You can't see the forest for the trees.

Hardly a product worth praising.

I get that some people don't like using them for whatever reason, but this is just a completely insane thing to say. AirPods are a technology marvel, there's a reason why they're so popular.

This blog post evokes feelings of deja vu. It's the same blog post every year by some guy with a pixel-perfect blog that's used macOS since the nineties.

The author, like lots of people in this thread are really triggered by the headline "awe dropping", and sure, whatever, but what did you expect? If they launched a foldable phone, the blog post would be all about how foldable phones don't make sense or that another brand already did it.

Then the author just skips over the new AirPods, a huge part of Apple's profits (but it's the products he "cares about the least", so nevermind, I guess) which are probably the best Apple has ever created with cutting edge improvements to sound and noise canceling, who cares about that, right?

Then he whines about the Apple Watch doing too much. He just wants it to be a heart rate monitor. Turn everything else off, dammit! Too many features! Yeah, this is the guy complaining about the lack of awe.

Then he goes on to say that it's tacky that Apple includes a segment about it saving lives (oh the horror). That's why I bought one for my parents! It's a primary use case for many. Why wouldn't you advertise that? Because sans-serif font blog guy says it's tacky? No, I'd say that's awesome – technology is saving the lives of my family.

Then he goes on to having some difficulty understanding why people would want a thinner, lighter iPhone. Yes, and where's the damn serial port, am I right? Yes, sure, the Mini was great, but apparently people want the Air, but the blog guy doesn't so I guess Apple is doomed?

Then there's some paragraphs about the declining software quality, and, yes, again, sure, while there's plenty of annoyances... have you tried using Windows? Android? If you like the Apple experience – and yes, it's its own thing, it's not for everyone – you'd be hard pressed to enjoy the alternatives in their current state.

So, summing up: Apple lacks awe but there's too many features. I don't understand why they create new products, but they're not innovative. They're doomed because there's some bugs in the software.

Danish politicians are famous here for their lack of knowledge and interest in IT-related subjects. Many danes have the uninformed "what are you hiding" perspective when it comes to privacy matters. Our government-built IT systems are also generally poor with many cost overruns. It's no surprise a Social Democrat politician would say something as ignorant as this.

Apple should bring back the 12" MacBook and put the M-series processor in it. Miss that form factor a lot.

European bureaucrats generally have little understanding of the technology they get paid to regulate, as we've seen with the their previous attempts to regulate the industry. It's very much a "vibes-based" approach. They can simply keep proposing the same regulation with a new name until it's voted through.

If it's a crime, it's obviously still also a crime if it's an app, just look at Ross Ulbricht or SBF.

Is it really fair to compare "PotatoTrac" with Uber and AirBnB?

It's what Apple does. The first version of a product often sucks somehow, but is generally usable. They're masters at iterating.

It seems to be a RocketMQ vuln; it's described further down the page.

For most people, doing stuff on computers is a matter of brute forcing it until kinda does what it's supposed to. Software is made by people who have an intricate understanding of how the underlying system works, but it's made for people who don't. When users get to a pattern that works, they stick with it. It's becoming even more common now that many schools are using tablets for education - they don't get a good feel for how a computer works. Most people don't think about it. It's just there, and they're used to things being broken, so what's a few extra clicks?

I'm puzzled someone in the macOS department made it a priority to fiddle with adding some border to QuickLook when there's so much stuff broken in macOS (and QuickLook itself)

I understand the frustration. But they should have just closed this issue to begin with. Waste of time.

My company ships a simple CLI, it's written in Node.js so it can be installed on any platform using npm. A a Docker image is also provided. Most of the target audience has either of these installed.

not have it redirect on load

I've not been able to reproduce this in neither Safari nor Chrome (https://sf.gl/share/1707213387.mp4), curious to know which browser you're using. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! You can do this with Custom Actions: https://docs.webhook.site/custom-actions.html :-)

I've been working on https://webhook.site since 2016 when I posted it here on HN. In fall 2023, I quit my job to work on it full time, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have around 1400 subscribers, which is enough to pay myself a good salary. I've not done any funding or marketing so far.

I bet it doesn't even run Kubernetes.

I often sit on the couch or bed while working.
