When does a professional come into play? You assumed you're deficient, you asked chatgpt, and now you're asking for anecdotes from HN. Go get some blood work done and talk to a professional who actually knows about these things.

Microsoft has been working on eBPF for a few years at least.

If you're really concerned, they have discussions and communication channels where you're invited to air your concerns. They're listed on their github:

https://github.com/microsoft/ebpf-for-windows

Who knows, maybe they already have answers to your concerns. If not, they can address them there.

It's been a minute since I've used Librewolf so maybe things changed, but I remember that not being able to sync between devices was the biggest difference. There wasn't an account login option in LW, but there is in Waterfox.

Other than that, I dont remember any real differences. Waterfox has been fine for me because of the sync, but if you don't need account syncing, LW is fine.

Re:Company Missions Are Bullshit on Sunday July 07, 2024 @01:09AM (#40895399)
It seems I'm wrong, but I always thought it was a given that a company's main goal is to make money, so the mission statement is used to define how that's going to be done. (Whether they follow it or not is a different can of worms.)
McDs customers mostly know what they want: _cheap_ burgers, fries, and sodas. If one wanted healthy food, they'd go elsewhere. In the area I live in, very few want a salad from McDs, they instead go to sweetgreen, tender greens, moonbowls or any # of salad specialty shops around here. If one wants a good juicy burger, they go elsewhere also. L.A. is not short on great burger and salad joints.

For many people, McDs will never be equated with healthy food no matter what they try. That ship sailed a long time ago.

It's a different cut and generally cheaper (ymmv depending on the store). Tri tip is generally more expensive. It's a sirloin cut forward of the bottom round.

Edit: here's a chart

I asked for better sources not more vague gossip articles. Did you even read them?

The only better source would be from the "married" couple. But you can't get that so internet confirmation it is for you. Sad. Not even a good "sleuth". No wonder you avoid the privacy aspect.

You know what would have avoided all this? Minding your own business.

Re:Ask HN: What's the modern equivalent of netbooks? on Wednesday July 03, 2024 @02:27PM (#40868711)
Have you checked out older and/or discontinued stocks of name brands like dell or HP? I've seen those for $50-$100 on Amazon and ebay. I remember seeing an older 2021 dell (or possibly hp) touchscreen 2 in 1 for like $80 or so (I think it was on amazon). Might be worth it more than a random brand.
Re:Ask HN: What's the modern equivalent of netbooks? on Wednesday July 03, 2024 @06:07AM (#40864481)
Amazon has a ton of cheap laptops w/10-12" screens priced around $250 or less, including some touchscreens and older big brand manufacturer models. There's a few that are $100 or less. I'm definitely not vouching for the quality or usefulness though.

Do you have another source instead of this vague article about a vague video of someone claiming stuff?

> Nitpick (or is it?)

We're all nitpicking no matter what our thoughts are on the design. I have my own thoughts on the design, but I'm more excited about the product than to put any more care in what the website looks like. It's easy enough to ignore and doesn't have an effect on the product.

Re:Welcome to Ladybird on Monday July 01, 2024 @02:39PM (#40848913)
Those aren't conflicting statements.

It started off as a project made solely for SerenityOS (as in no relation to other OSes). Now they switched and have been working on Linux/MacOS/Unix versions. The development thing is that they're not ready yet for any release.

I read an article about that last year. There are studies (a study?) going on to see how the changes have affected the trails and seeding you mentioned.

Are we talking about US? If so, it might be your office. The one near me tries to sell me all kinds when I actually go in to do stuff. USPS still sells varying rate stamps ranging 1 cent additional postage to $30 priority mail express stamps.

> Since they are souring their data from people on social media...

I don't know if that's a typo of 'sourcing', 'scouring' or you meant souring, but all work in this case.

Since the source seems to be social media posts, there's a small possibility that theft may be some kind of portion of the number, but I'm not sure due to the questionable accuracy of source data.

Semi-related: I work for a homeless service agency and a few of our clients were arrested for a tiny luggage theft ring at LAX a couple of months ago. One of the detectives said that some of the luggage they found was reported missing and it was luck that someone else had airtags hidden in their luggage to be able to track the item which allowed them to discover more items from others.

Yes.

According to the creator, it did. It just wasn't that popular and he switched to a different game, The Far Wilds, for a bit, then pivoted to bitcoin (with entirely different code).

The interview was in 2014 and edited with proof on wikipedia, so I'm surprised people still believe it wasn't a trading card site.

Literally no. You don't have to make stuff up. I found it super easy to verify:

Forgot to address this:

> Is this some kind of USA mentality that use meter to define inch at the beginning but refuse to just use meter?

Probably yes, considering it was made in the US, using North American physical printing standards. I'm sure there's other software you can use that uses ISO standards.

I linked for the duplicate, which you probably should have checked for.

I guess it also shows how popular this topic is considering both have zero comments on the content. No point in posting dupes if no one is going to discuss the actual post.
