Good. Now: when are governments going to lift restrictions?

If it costs more than zero and you don’t care about euros not visiting your site, it makes sense.

For example if you have ads or external analytics (practically 100% of websites) you need a cookie banner. Best to restrict access than to annoy your innocent users.

The only opinions allowed to be had in hn are mainstream opinions and then those that are to the left of the mainstream.

When you execute a random file you got off the internet (even worse, with sudo) you don’t get to complain about the consequences. The rest of the story is pure fluff.

How about that game boy printer?

If you ask in certain boards and make an effort to write your post detailing what’s going on, you will only receive helpful responses.
Re:Reddit files to go public on Thursday December 16, 2021 @03:36AM (#29576276)
My experience only having used old Reddit is that it’s stupidly slow all the time and it goes down at least once a week for me (I’m not looking at it all the time…)

I can’t think of a single website with that many backend problems.

Re:HTTP/3 Is Fast on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @08:16AM (#29565476)
That’s disingenuous. There are languages like php or JavaScript that are much much faster than Python and that don’t require you to give up the keys to your house.

Re:HTTP/3 Is Fast on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @06:04AM (#29564318)
It's 2021 and 80% of the load time is spent generating the page because of slow backend languages such as Python and then 20% of the load time is spent compiling and executing the frontend Javascript. I am sceptical that these improvements will even move the needle.
He could also not have written libinput to begin with. libinput became the default because of political pressure from Red Hat and now we can’t complain if it’s worse than the project it is replacing?
Re:Ask HN: Why iPad/iPhone battery drains even when powered off? on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @03:57AM (#29563545)
I don’t think that that feature is using 100% of battery in a week.
Re:Please rename aux.py on Tuesday December 14, 2021 @12:31PM (#29554419)
IIRC windows 9x would instantly bluescreen if you tried to open c:\con\con , probably because of a bug in the filesystem driver.

They are crying all the way to the bank.
Unions are throwing shade on not unionising by pointing out only the potential positive side of unions.
