On HN does it capture both the HN post page and the target page?

E.g.: for this submission I would want both https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49743097 and https://github.com/asciimoo/hister captured.

Your guess is correct. A 10x (typical) or 20x eyepiece would be used.

Same with my Pixel 6a. I wish they would provide more details about why it doesn't qualify.
Re:Keymapper: A cross-platform context-aware key remapper on Thursday January 30, 2025 @07:48AM (#42877245)
Is there a software tool like this that can add random delays between key presses? It would be useful to prevent the kind of fingerprinting Deepseek does.

I researched such a tool yesterday but couldn't find one, so I created one using xte, but it's not really seamless.

> Lower stomach acid PH means the LES doesn’t close properly

I don't think that's correct. Lower stomach acid pH makes the LES close more tightly, with a max around pH==3.

Acid reflux is due to too low stomach acid (too high pH). The lower esophageal sphincter closing as a response to acid (pH) is documented in the literature.

I have used it, but it doesn't stop JS in background tabs, it unloads them which means that I'll have a multi-second delay when I focus the tab again. ATM I unload them manually, in bulk.

> I've always been a bookmark guy, and I don't know how you hundreds-of-tabs guys do it.

I use both. I use a modified version of TabsAside, but I also use multiple windows, one for each topic + general. The way I work, as I go through the relevant material for the current topic, I open new tabs in the background (to research later) so I don't interrupt my flow. Bookmarks are too much friction for this workflow.

Re:Terrible popular websites waste your CPU and energy on Thursday October 31, 2024 @08:04PM (#42012793)
I wish I would have a way/setting to stop JS on tabs that are not in focus (without unloading them, and waiting for the reload when I focus them), maybe with a whitelist. I have plenty of memory.

For me the most CPU is used by idle Youtube tabs in Firefox. Turns my whole browser into a janky mess, gets progressively worse the more time the Youtube tabs are left open/loaded.

Good catch, I missed that. I also think this adds to the evidence that this is fake and his HN account was compromised.

FWIW, the current article title is "CDC vaccine advisers vote to recommend Covid-19 boosters for all adults" and the submission title is "FDA authorizes Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna Covid vaccine boosters for all adults". It looks like it was updated/corrected after the submission.
Glad I could contribute something :)

Yet, the Firefox logo is missing from the list.

Without more details you're just announcing your biases to HN.

From https://sites.google.com/site/udfintro/ :

> Although an implementation may use a journal to protect metadata integrity, this does not guarantee interoperability between platforms since it is not part of the standard.

it seems it's left up to the implementation.

There's a real gem in that thread:

> FYI: There is also another cross-platform filesystem (Linux kernel, Windows NT kernel, Mac OS X kernel) suitable for hard disks too with POSIX permissions about which people do not know too much. It is UDF.

As I was struggling to find a way to share data between Linux/Windows with my gpu-passthrough setup, I'm excited to use this.

I think I've read something about 9p support in the latest Windows versions and I think QEMU supports 9p so that might become a good solution, too.

Run the app in a separate netns and then you can create iptables/netfilter rules that match on that netns.
It treats people like responsible adults, not like children to be told what to do and disciplined if they don't.
