News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hacker News is worse by the way.
Pale-grey on white. There are many websites like this. Why on earth?

darkreader.org helps.

Mine too. Maybe it's CGNAT.

This guy got a few million euros from EU for a secure OS, if I remember correctly. What happened to that project?

I'm honing my sword.
I'm pretty sure mine is psychosomatic. It's only at left ear. When I pissed off about former mistakes or current annoying issues, I know it's coming.

Yes, it's called backronym.
I remember from twenty years ago, Amazon recommended a book for dementia patients, related to purchase of an AS/400 manual. Because of the name similarity between the IT author and other book's illustrator. We couldn't move one step forward.

Enormous organic pollution causes this. Warmer temp also helps.

Yep. Gmail redirects to Gsuite Status Control and shows everything as fine there.
Looks like everybody here has WSJ subscription, and many many other sites.

Re:In the Turkish locale, "INFO".lower() != "info" on Monday August 17, 2020 @08:08PM (#24193797)
Very much so. Thanks.
Re:In the Turkish locale, "INFO".lower() != "info" on Monday August 17, 2020 @02:57AM (#24184694)
Give me an example. I'll try to find the best -IMHO- solution.
Re:In the Turkish locale, "INFO".lower() != "info" on Sunday August 16, 2020 @03:10PM (#24180328)
Please stop doing this. Don't bind lower() upper() functions to environment variables or anything else system related. Sun did this in Java and doesn't even bother to mention the issue in documents. It caused huge problems for more than a decade.

You can just make string lowercase() uppercase() function work the same everywhere, regardless of locale settings. Provide a special case function lowercaseTR() or so. This works very well in Go.

By the way, Azerbaijan has the same problem because they accepted help from wrong guys when they switched to Latin.

if (has(flammable_liquid) && does_mistreat_people()) { make_people_suffer_more(); }

I don't see any relation between two inputs of that and gate.

Norway shares oil revenue with UK and EU companies and therefore has strong defense against colonialist USA.

Not even close. What they want is their natural resources. Nobody in USA gives a crap about Iranian people's problems.

I suggest the word femtobenchmark for this kind of work.
Re:Is Dark Mode Such a Good Idea? on Friday June 12, 2020 @03:26AM (#23496922)
My eyes are too sensitive to light. It really hurts. I have to dim the monitors light down to zero. Now almost every website on the net show text with pale-gray color on white background for whatever the sick reason. Some people must be batshit crazy to make text light-gray and also semi-transparent. I can't flippin' read. So http://darkreader.org does a great job for me.

Anyone else asks for REPL? I like to have a REPL.
