Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026) on Sunday November 01, 2026 @04:18PM (#50329994)
I'm working on a platform for selling event tickets (kind of an alternative to Ticketmaster or weezevent). I'm working on it on my free time for now (I am also using it to test working with AI tools ). Not sure yet if I want to build a company or not.
Re:GNU Hurd News 2026-Q2 on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @04:24PM (#49188489)
I'm not a Hurd contributor ( or any OS kernel / library ).

I'm not sure this holds today. One example I can see is related to crypto. We used to have specific hardware for computing cryptography functions but it's now handled directly in standard hardware and the software has not evolved ( but it's been faster and faster to compute checksum functions )

Maybe by providing a unique email to the user that he/she will use for the company. Be sure to forward emails to the user also :D
Re:Claude Code Unleashed on Friday July 18, 2025 @09:10AM (#44604287)
I got a patch rejected (rightfully so IMO) a long-time ago from libvirt (RedHat) because I was using (and mentioning) code taken from StackOverflow.

I've bought cars that cost me less than a nVidia card (and they were running).
Re:Ask HN: Why Is Pave Legal? on Thursday September 12, 2024 @11:09AM (#41521822)
I am not a Lawyer, or a US resident but I highly suspect this behavior is completely illegal in Europe (and rightfully so in my mind).
This is like 90% of what I need to setup on a server for my personal usage. Issue is I don't do front dev at all so I never really start working on it. Any chance you've open sourced it ? (Or if not opensourced but you're willing to privately share the code, you can reach me at hn [at] manoz [dot] co)
Re:VirtualBox KVM Public Release on Thursday February 08, 2024 @07:19AM (#39301076)
I've contributed in the past to libvirt in order to support some Virtualbox features because some of our customers used VBox. It would have been handy to have this in the past, and have all of our customers use some KVM VMs ;)

Congrats for the work!

Re:Blender 4.0 on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @09:19AM (#38263564)
Hum that might explain the situation here. I'm on Ubuntu with KDE
Re:Blender 4.0 on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @09:15AM (#38263527)
It looks like Chrome is doing the pro software then.

Parent said blender was opening the menu onPress, which according to your comment is OK for pro software, Chrome is also doing the menu onPress

Re:Blender 4.0 on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @09:00AM (#38263357)
I've not used blender but it seems to me that Chrome is doing that too (at least it's doing that on my machine )
Maybe you should not be the one representing your company at a Congress hearing if you have this behavior..
You can fix it by creating the file `/usr/local/bin/xdg-open` and putting this inside:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    if [[ "${1:-}" = slack://\* ]]; then
        exec /usr/lib/slack/slack --enable-crashpad "$1"
    fi

    exec /usr/bin/xdg-open "$@"
Granted it's not perfect, but at least it fixes the issue on KDE
Does it mean that every form of life on Earth (right now) evolved from the "Parent" of the Comb Jelly ?
Re:The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 as a Linux Laptop on Wednesday March 29, 2023 @05:52AM (#35354841)
PoP Os! seems to use a 6.2 kernel in their jammy version (https://apt-origin.pop-os.org/release/pool/jammy/linux/4a8cd...) while Ubuntu still ships with a default 5.15

It is however quite easy to migrate to a 5.19 using hwe packages in Ubuntu but I don't think they ever shipped 6.x for jammy

Re:Ask HN: EU Bank with Good API? on Friday January 27, 2023 @05:29AM (#34544553)
We use Mangopay (https://www.mangopay.com/) at $DAYJOB as a payment provider. They have a working API (in python at least) and a functionning sandbox environment.
It could make for an interesting server for homelab if we can easily install Linux on it. Does anyone know if there is some kind of lock that prevents installation of another OS ?
Maybe because some of us are really Engineers (with a degree in Engineering) It's not because I specialized in Computer Science at the very end of my studies that I'm not an Engineer.

Re:“Click to subscribe, call to cancel” is illegal, FTC says on Wednesday November 17, 2021 @05:19AM (#29251091)
It sure as hell doesn't work like this for the newspaper Le Monde (in France). Sure you can sign/resign with Apple/Google but if you sign with e-mail, you have to mail a physical letter to resign (8Euros one with proof of delivery and all)
Re:“Click to subscribe, call to cancel” is illegal, FTC says on Wednesday November 17, 2021 @05:17AM (#29251077)
I got this issue with the newspaper "Le Monde" in France a couple of months ago. Had to send them a 8Euros letter to cancel the subscription.
