Wild seeing local stuff on HN. My dad used to work in that police station, probably the first (and only) HN story I’ll send him.
Weirdly, as an en_GB native, neither of these seems wrong to me. I suspect one is British and one is American, and too much TV has driven me to accept the American one.
Not sure about the legal frameworks in the US but that’s exactly how it works in most places in the UK. Cities have restrictions for on-street parking (metered, permitted, illegal) whereas the towns and villages don’t…
This is my take as well. I haven’t felt that graphics improvement has “wowed” me since the PS3 era honestly. I’m a huge fan of Final Fantasy games. Every mainline game (those with just a number; excluding 11 and 14…
This is a significantly better handling than the previous game (final fantasy viii). My disk 1 (it had four disks) got scratched over time (I was a child after all), and the failure mode was just to crash - thus the…
And of course it's even more complex when you mix UK vs US English: - an herb (US), where the "h" is silent - a herb (UK) Cue confusion about "an historic".
This looks really cool, but the author... is... replacing their laptop every year? Like, I'm writing this on an 8 year old MBP that has survived as my round-the-house driver because it still does everything well. My…
Indeed - SP2 brought in the firewall which finally got rid of the Blaster and Sasser type-viruses that could be executed remotely because most folks still had their PC connected to the Internet with a public IPv4…
> As far as I could tell, the debugger trap was basically calling the debugger function if it detects a running debugger. This is a fairly common trick, you just run the debugger method in a setTimeout loop since it's a…
Is that why JDK9 is 350MB (Windows x64) vs 190MB for JDK8u144? I'm off to go explore more, but for something that's meant to be smaller and more modular, this was a bit of a surprise! Edit: Also, I was sure Jigsaw was…
