Interesting. If you click on one of the blue circles representing a data center, it shows latencies to the other data centers. This took me a second to figure out — maybe consider adding a note along the lines of “click to select a data center” on the site?

I agree that enabling any form of remote access controlled by a third party increases attack surface, but I also feel like Tailscale has earned more of my trust than other vendors with the quality of their past security responses.

(If anyone has examples of Tailscale incidents ending badly please share and I’ll update my trust accordingly, but to date I haven’t heard any.)

It might be that Discord is remembering user information in iCloud in a way that persists following reinstall, similar to how some games save progress. Clearing the password entry would thus be insufficient.

That name reminds me of "Liberty Biberty" from the insurance commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mrLqtmko5Y

Previous discussion of the same December 18th event: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34766467

This article [1] notes that "The incident, ...came the same day 25 people were injured, six seriously, aboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Phoenix to Honolulu during severe turbulence in the vicinity of Maui."

A local source [2] comments on the weather that day: "On the day this happened, we recall well that the Hawaiian Islands were in the midst of an exceptionally strong wind and rainstorm that was, even for Hawaii, highly unusual."

Correlation, not causation, but a speculative explanation nonetheless?

Context for those wondering: The Boy Who Cried Wolf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf#The_fab...

This makes me imagine a space station like data center in orbit that acts like a public cloud on earth, communicating directly with satellites and renting out processing time. I'm not sure how well economies of scale work when you have to pay for every kg you send up there, but it would be an interesting business model.

The author has devised a logical argument based off drawing equivalences between similar sounding words ("forelegs" vs "four legs"). The absurdity of the conclusion that a horse has infinite legs and the novelty of the invalid leaps in reasoning makes the story humorous.

Cries logical Bobby to Ned, will you dare

A bet, which has most legs, a mare, or no mare.

A mare, to be sure, replied Ned, with a grin,

And fifty I’ll lay, for I’m certain to win.

Quoth Bob, you have lost, sure as you are alive,

A mare has but four legs, and no mare has five.

I don't see any sign of this in the page source. What sort of easter eggs have you found?

Hi OP- This post only links to https://twitter.com/search, rather than a set of search results as I assume was intended.

I am not sure if HN strips url parameters from submissions. Maybe try editing or re-submitting?

I just stumbled upon this great story [1] and was surprised it had not been posted here before.

"How Grandmother Triode Stole Binary from the Sun" is a newer bit of folk/computer lore, by Jack Manganese. He credits two Cherokee stories, "Grandmother Spider Steals the Sun" and "The First Fire" as inspiration [2].

May Grandmother Triode and Slide Rule Demon bring a smile to you all.

This reminds me of the "designing a house to last 1000 years" article discussed on here earlier in the year, and the many factors that the author considered there.

I'm curious- do you have something particular in mind?

I think what Tom might mean is that because Ctrl-v is not the standard system paste shortcut on Mac (it is Cmd-v), the editor is not inheriting default functionality here. If the editor does in fact implement its own copy and paste, there is a possibility that it would not use the system clipboard (although it might, the NSPasteboard interface enables this).

I have tried to faithfully summarize the video here. If you notice a mistake or omission, please correct me.

Rossmann’s main message: “to complain about something that is an option rather than complain about all of the options that are missing misses the forest for the trees”.

Key points:

1. For certain repairs, Apple’s repair program has “made availiable the exact same OEM parts and tools that they use” via rental. Renting these tools is optional and not required; Rossmann recognizes that while he (and in his opinion, most people) will likely not use these tools, their availability is a non-issue.

2. Sean Hollister’s article in The Verge was highly critical of the entire self-repair process, and called out the weight and price of this completely optional tool rental. Per Rossmann, “part of the problem with tech journalism in general is… focusing on the things that are easy rather than focusing on the things that matter”.

3. Rossmann reminds us that the right-to-repair fight is far from over. Board schematics and individual components are still not available even to authorized repair shops. He argues that these would enable him to more efficiently perform repairs.

4. Rossmann: While the tech press’s complaints are “making the right to repair people look like… fools”, “it is important to [know] that they don’t represent us [normal repair shops and average users]”.
