Unless you live there, there is nothing you can do about it. Nothing to hack, no news.
Re:Ask HN: Is there hope for micropayments? on Monday May 16, 2022 @10:17AM (#31397579)
Everybody coming in with the lightning angle, but I just want to point out that constantly having to sign micropayments is a pain. People really want prepaid draw down of the account. Having to approve every transaction is a horrible UX, but not something you would want to automate for crypto either.

Seems to me that the author doesn’t understand what MVP means. Old maybe, but busted? Gtfo

It’s all psychology… if they call you an engineer will you want the job more? Longer?

That ship has sailed. They already know when you leave your house.

Re:Ask HN: Reactjs vs. Nextjs? on Tuesday March 30, 2021 @07:52AM (#26633518)
I too find little reason to go back to create-react-app. I use Next for everything except native now.
It's stupid at face value. No pyramid required. You cannot intrinsically link real world items to tokens. The source of truth is the real world, not the token.

Add an unlimited supply of unique things, and how could anyone expect to make money from this?

What a pile of horseshit. This article had as much ecological impact as whatever he in whining about.
They forgot the capital letter and special character. If only they had used Solarwinds123! We could have avoided this whole thing.
what does this mean for running docker containers on macos?
Re:Darling – macOS Translation Layer for Linux on Monday April 29, 2019 @07:33AM (#19777404)
This extra layer (and wine) are always going to be garbage.

If you need Mac or Windows, your best bet is not to move to Linux in the first place.

If you do mostly development or scientific computing, then you’ve probably dealt with more pain on those platforms, that melts away on Linux.

Best tool for job wins.

There will be no company to be outraged at, when all of your data is siphoned... progress!
No, I prefer to optionally do this with my command key.

Using something like https://flow.org goes a long way too.
Make it an open source module
Anonymity kills. See Yik Yak.
You confused Segwit with Lightning Network. Segwit only helps to enable Lightning Network. It is not required for LN.

I'd rather keep the logic in my app than have planned downtime for schematic migrations

Re:Can We Put the 16GB “Pro” Myth to Rest? on Friday November 04, 2016 @06:21PM (#12876653)
Try running a few docker containers to support development work. A few DBs, messaging servers, Lucene indices, etc. Try prototyping applications using map-reduce for huge datasets.

"Pro" doesn't always refer to the artistic line of professionals. Many developers see this as a huge problem, and there are a lot of us.

Our options now include the 2005-era looking systems at system76.com, running Linux. I love Linux for servers, but I really don't like the GUIs, or acting as my own systems integrator. I want a true modern "Pro" macOS system, and that doesn't exist right now.

The idiocy of using fingerprints as a passwords on new MBP

There is already well known precedent of law enforcement officers forcing phone users to unlock their phones with their fingerprint. In the story below for example, the feds walked into a building, and demanded everyone to unlock their phones with their fingerprint. See: http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2016/10/16/doj-demands-mass-fingerprint-seizure-to-open-iphones/#32df81898d9dThe...
