Re:Why School Absences Have 'Exploded' Almost Everywhere on Friday March 29, 2024 @09:12AM (#39863686)
That makes a lot of sense, and I think it’s something that would have helped me during high school.

Perhaps it means that a change to the policy can’t be used to justify actions taken that would have broken a prior version of the policy but which don’t violate the new one. Granted, I don’t have a complete understanding of the legal enforceability of a company’s privacy policy.

Re:Google Jamboard is winding down on Thursday March 21, 2024 @12:46PM (#39781022)
I really hope this doesn’t happen. The relative simplicity and reliability of Google docs in my experience has always been one of its major advantages over Microsoft Office, not to mention its near seamless real time collaboration functionality.

Which tailscale plug-in are you using? The official one seems to only support automation and getting some tailnet metrics and does not connect your Home Assistant machine to your tailnet.

Why unfortunate? Also, I love your username. I think many of us could have guessed that you spoke Catalan from that alone ;).
If that were feasible and comparably efficient (which I doubt), then yes, I imagine they ought to!

Any kind of stealthiness for one. There are versions of the F-15 which attempt to be more stealthy than the base airframe, but it’s a far cry from being as stealthy as any purpose-built aircraft.

Presumably yes, for both of the same reasons, or at least the first one.

Apparently it’s not even the most realistic it could be! From the footer:

Re:Ask HN: Is This Typical Procrastination? on Saturday November 26, 2022 @04:17PM (#33756833)
This sounds like ADD to me.
Did Amazon actually drop this? I haven’t used prime in a very long time but this was pretty much the only reason I bothered.
While it’s no longer mandatory, I can assure you RoHo infosec students still read this book, as I did :).
Sounds like you lost nothing of value.
I’d say “el chico” translates more to “the lad”, but perhaps this is a matter of regional dialects.

> Apple's only real mistake was not keeping ESC a fixed hard key.

They’ve added that back for a few years now, but I agree. I used to own one of the 2016 MBPs with a Touch Bar and the lack of a physical escape key drove me insane. Even though I sold that laptop, I had actual while-asleep nightmares about the horrifically bad keyboard for a while too.

If you’re referring to those pieces of software having support for Apple silicon, Docker already does (even without Rosetta installed) and I have yet to encounter a package on homebrew that isn’t natively built for ARM.

Re:Why are some egg yolks so orange? on Sunday April 17, 2022 @07:22AM (#31060077)
Yes! I completely agree. The yolks of Clarence Court-alikes just don’t feel as “rich”, whatever that means, and I can readily tell the difference when having yolk-heavy food like egg soldiers, for example.
