Spoiler: They're just dropping 'Soup' from the name...
That's what I was thinking. I good example of over-engineering though.
The person who drew it would definitely notice.
Wow. I've never seen someone so viciously nerd sniped in my life.
Your hand is warmer than both.

The terminal is rotatable. It's kinda neat.
If you're gonna use bots to hype up your submissions, at least make them sound different.
They do use it but you can force passcode requirement by holding down the power button until 'slide to power off' appears. From daringfireball: '(One way the scam would run: Chat up the victim in a bar, and offer to use the target’s phone to snap a photo of the victim and their friends. Surreptitiously lock the phone out of Face ID when handing it back to the victim. Then, when next the victim wants to do anything on their phone, they need to enter their passcode. Either the thief or a partner in a team gleans the passcode. Then they steal the phone, knowing the device passcode.)'

That repo has an ad in its readme. Never seen that before.
Probably not the first time he's taken credit for someone else's idea. This quote from him in the subreddit is pretty funny. "Lots of discussion and outroar lately about Chrome and YouTube forcing ads on users via blocking ad-blockers. It led me to thinking about how I could address the problem with my existing skills." His 'particular set of skills' of taking ideas from HN and passing them off as his own.
Those reasons sound even worse.

Re:Woman run over by Cruise driverless car in San Francisco on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @03:12AM (#37748790)
In this case she did get an article. Apparently she was hit and knocked down by a human driver first and then the cruise ran her over.
Re:Ask HN: How to prevent Safari from opening Mail on Cmd-I? on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @03:56PM (#37680369)
Have you tried changing your default mail app to Safari? It will still try to mail the page but you'll at least stay within Safari. That's the best solution I could find. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/261881/set-default...

Also found you on stackexchange while looking for an answer https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/108060/how-to-prev...

Because someone else submitted it. Dupes happen, dude.
It's Nerf or nothin'
If you think of it more as opening Pandora's box rather than open source then it's easier to swallow.
Different part of Marvel. From the article:

"Disney confirmed the move. Mr. Perlmutter, 80, was told by phone on Wednesday that Marvel Entertainment, a small division centered on consumer products and run separately from Marvel Studios..."

Re:Ask HN: Did Google remove the site:<url> feature from mobile? on Wednesday February 01, 2023 @04:37PM (#34618211)
If you disable javascript or cookies then you get the expected results. You could also just use duckduckgo for site: queries. Not sure what weird thing googles doing.
It looks like hn uses the deprecated 'bgcolor' attribute for that part of the page which overrides the css for the extension. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tr...
Why do you think iPhones only allow one timer? I've been using an app that has multiple timers for years on an iPhone 6s. If you're talking about the stock Clock app then you're probably right, they just didn't feel like adding a little more complexity to a stock app.
Re:The Reality of Depending on True Fans on Tuesday December 27, 2022 @11:25PM (#34157529)
"The internet can also give us tools more narrowly to target specific demographics and to strengthen those assumptions that prevent acceptance of new ideas, nudging people towards algorithmically determined tastes or styles. Companies can use demographic models and track people’s search patterns to pander to their initial tastes and to strengthen those tastes, rather than broaden their horizons."

Pretty prescient for 2008.

You can create a folder with a '.app' extension and put the script in there. Just make sure the script is executable with chmod and remove the '.sh' extension.

Breaking ChatGPT

Does typing "function(){}" break ChatGPT for anyone else? I get an error and then anything I ask after that gets "Too many requests, please slow down".

Same. I didn't even know this game had music. It's ruining my nostalgia high.
