Re:Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon on Tuesday September 17, 2024 @02:40PM (#41571116)
Nothing in that particular report says anything about the pagers exploding individually. It may of been a box, labelled as containing pagers, delivered to a group of people and detonated in one location.

Thanks for this, Neal! I hope you're not feeding it into a SkyNet targeting system!

Re:Server side rendering is now good idea? on Friday January 06, 2023 @06:51PM (#34283116)
You highlighted another advantage: HTML is quicker to parse.
Re:Server side rendering is now good idea? on Friday January 06, 2023 @06:46PM (#34283059)
Looks great and performs great. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic article. And I appreciate you sharing it with me.

The idea of introducing a new attribute to a HTML tag, whether it be "_" or "_foo" or "_do" doesn't quite sit properly with me.

Especially if it's not part of the HTML5 standards.

For your scenario the attribute name being "_" may work. But

Server side rendering is now good idea?

from the self-post dept.

Thanks to the speed of the internet, I’m beginning to feel that rendering a page on the server side with PHP or other server side technology, is just as interactive as JavaScript - without the complexity of React, Angular [insert framework here] and associated package and state management.Oh, and security!Thoughts?

Deepfake in Russia

Posted by mrvenkman on Friday March 25, 2022 @01:01PM
from the self-post dept.

Does anyone have any insight into the usage of “Deepfake” technology maybe used by Russian state media recently?And would Putin use the technology to create fake videos of people such as J.K. Rowling for propaganda?

I also have a Lenovo laptop, it’s an Ideapad. And am very happy with how it is for coding - which is what I use it for.
Re:Ask HN: What are some good keyboards? on Friday March 04, 2022 @04:39PM (#30560960)
They are about $200?
Re:Ask HN: I have an old 32-bit laptop. Should I keep it up and running? on Friday March 04, 2022 @04:27PM (#30560826)
Get a new system. But definitely keep the old laptop.
Re:Ask HN: What's the biggest problem you got during work from home? on Friday March 04, 2022 @04:07PM (#30560593)
Motivation for me is a big problem when working from home. I feel like I’m in a school class without a teacher to tell me off!
Re:We're building computers wrong [video] on Friday March 04, 2022 @03:59PM (#30560489)
I have to say that the title is definitely “click baity” - I watched the video because I wondered what we were doing wrong. It is focused on how to improve AI when we run out of atom sized hardware. I don’t appreciate the title.

I'll bet that we are all already using PWA's? Maybe the submitter of that forum post just doesn't know it?
Re:How Russia Took over the Internet in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine on Saturday February 26, 2022 @11:42AM (#30479115)
I pondered the exact same question. My thought process settled on…

keeping the data network alive makes it easier for the Russian military to communicate and maybe infiltrate. Shutting everything down removes attack vectors.
