  1. Ask HN: Can you argue public/open-source code is publically funded/subsidized?

    I have a tenuous argument in my head. Several years ago "The Social Contract" was talked about in political circles. The basic idea being that if you're a successful business you owe some portion of your success to the…

  2. Ask HN: What is your routine to monitor for viruses and secure boot integrity?

    I recently saw a script to confirm if several points of ones' secure boot process were secure, or had settings that were considered safe. I didn't get a screenshot of this tool or script, and I cannot find it on Github…

  3. Ask HN: Are instanced templates de-duplicated in C++?

    I have a scenario I've often wondered about. Someone creates an std::vector<someType>, and an std::vector<otherType>. Both types are identical to an uint64 (example). Would the compiler emit code for both types, or…

  6. Ask HN: Is there a Firefox extension for persisting a viewport, even fullscreen

    There are hundreds of ways to uniquely identify a user visiting a website. I'm focusing on the screen/device type area: Screen dimensions, refresh rate, dpi, and user agent. Firefox and Chrome both support a feature in…

  7. Ask HN: Why doesn't Android have standard apps? USB Webcam? Settings? Calc?

    In 2022 it frustrates the hell out of me that on any Android phone I /may/ get apps I expect to be on the phone from the manufacturer, not as part of "stock Android". I love my Galaxy Z Fold 2, but I hate that walking…

  8. Ask HN: How do you guard against ransomeware? (offsite backups not possible)

    I know the best mitigation for ransomware is to maintain off-site backups. I cannot do this. It is a design requirement not to have offline storage. What are some ways you have prepared for ransomware? I've thought…
