Another user said this, but I'm going to echo it -- Firefox opened up the LLM chat sidebar one time. I closed it. It's stayed closed. It hasn't asked me to open it again. I don't understand the hatred for something you can just _not use_. People will use it if they want to. Firefox also has a very tiny market share in comparison to other browsers.

You say that but I work in fintech (granted, one of the larger more corporate ones, after an acquisition) and we are heavily regulated, and audited.

Sure, but why not HN of all places? Things get re-posted here all the time when they are relevant again. I'm not new by any means but I didn't know this.

I had a professor who is responsible for a lot of the more "modern" MUMPS stuff (lets be real, MUMPS is OLD!). Guy was pretty unbearable too.

Hey Mitchell,
Best of luck in the future! I'm a nobody - but I was around in the packer days and wrote a post-processor and terraform provider for our vsphere back in the day. I don't think I'd be where I am now without those experiences. Thanks!
Re:Someone is trying to rebuild Friendster

I can't imagine it wouldn't be easier to build something like early FaceBook today. There was no GCP / AWS / Azure / whatever back then. We were still racking servers, and we liked it.

As someone who works in banking - We don't show anything other than login and enrollment (and maybe a link for account opening, if the FI has it). Apple has yet to complain.
I fail to see how this is related at all to laravel.

Re:Apple to Allow Media Apps to Link to Own Websites for Payment Options
on Thursday September 02, 2021 @01:42AM (#28389020)
I think this is a naive approach. Yes, a lot of us on HN are software capable folks but you have to consider the attack surface that is convincing your parents, grandparents, etc to install some custom app that is malicious. Apple would never. Payments is one thing, side-loading on an iPhone is something else entirely.

Re:A love letter to ISC bind

I gotta agree with you - I have been running services on the internet for 13 years now. I learned bind, I loved bind, I didn't think at all about separating what it did. If you knew its config file syntax, you could make it do it all, and easily.
