i work for a large company that’s trying to curate vs code extensions, and this doesn’t make it easy. we automatically block extensions and require that extensions must be approved, but this is a tedious process.
I have never provided my phone number at voter registration. In any case, all the texts to me are marked with "Hello Louella". I have also been "Brenda". I am not a Louella or a Brenda, more of a "Joe" or "Frank". I am…

former squid here, can confirm. filipinos were very common until the USN pulled out of the bases in the Philippines in the early 90s. they couldn’t get clearances easily if at all so a lot of filipinos worked in the…
This guy did a nice thing for people, let's keep it positive. Thank you very much for this! KDEConnect is great, but it's a little awkward to use with iOS (because of Apple, not the great developers), so this is a nice…
Social media won because it is better and more profitable for the producer/site owner. It is objectively worse for the consumer: * Algorithms that push content the user didn't ask for/dark patterns * Prioritizes…
That is a great book. All my kids loved it. "Good night little house and good night mouse, good night comb and good night brush, good night nobody, good night mush" My kids loved the mush part. I still remember it more…
not an amputee, but he did heal a man with a withered or malformed hand in Matthew 12. he also healed plenty of cripples, so I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that some or many of them were missing limbs.
even the Jews of the time that did not believe or follow Jesus wrote that he performed signs. They claimed it was sorcery. in Folio 43a of Tractate Sanhedrin of the Babylonian Talmud as follows: ‘It is taught: On the…
You are not wrong. They don't do this because they make money from the scammers. I have posted about this before. See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35191971
Secure boot is designed to verify software signatures. The UEFI bios might support loading software over https, but it isn't part of secure boot. Secure boot would verify any kernels/etc loaded from https.
Why can't it be both?
256 here :( the cpap is a wonder, I can't sleep without it. I only wish I'd gotten one 10 years sooner. I have whole years of my life missing from my memory - REM sleep is very important to long-term memory formation.…
Nvidia makes a fine GPU. The problem with Nvidia on linux is the drivers. You're beholden to Team Green for driver updates, and when they decide not to support a GPU anymore, that's it. Now, linux does have the nouveau…
I think that this is actually a good thing. If everyone had the same internal world model, we would have very little innovation. I try to train and mentor those that are junior to me. I try to show them what is…
Think about how they validate how old you are. Meta and Google, who are lobbying in support of this legislation,will force you to sign up with your real ID, and be the arbiter for questions like “are you old enough for…
Big space stagnated because they could. Their friends in Congress directed them lots of money and lots of political cover, and they both profited handsomely. Why would they change? They never had so, and I might argue…
CAFE killed small trucks in part, tariffs in another part, but US manufacturers are the real reason small trucks are dead. US manufacturers want margins, and they're not getting margins on little, efficient cars. They…

The micro stamping law is in no way reasonable because removing the micro stamping from the end of a firing pin is laughably trivial. The only people who won’t do this are people who weren’t going to break the law in…
I was put on 5000IU D2 and I got kidney stones, twice. The doctor wouldn't believe that the D2 was the cause, but I stopped taking it and the stones have not recurred. I would like to bring my D levels up, but not at…
Everything else has moved in that direction: * Literally every game console * Literally every smartphone * Microsoft, with their Win11 requirements, is moving there * John Deere (read on their own hardware attestation…
If you build remote attestation into your product, corporate entities will require it. Just look at Android - What phones today give you unlimited root? If you have rooted, what applications have you broken? If you…
