Good to know. I disabled watch history just so YouTube wouldn't recommend any shorts.
Re:Ask HN: Running legacy IE/ActiveX clients without local admin rights?
on Thursday March 26, 2026 @04:41PM (#47535435)
Maybe wrap the web page by using a legacy WebBrowser control, publish your own executable and grant admin rights on it. Maybe someone out there has already done this for their own weird activex use case.

I'd expect the same treatment in any other country. If you break the law and get deported, they are not going to let you walk around freely anymore. Maybe she expected special treatment?
Re:Valve releases Team Fortress 2 game code
on Tuesday February 18, 2025 @04:45PM (#43095507)
As someone who used mod TF2 on the server side, this is fantastic. I've spent countless hours analyzing the binaries in IDA and now you can just open github. This will definitely accelerate new features and bugfixes from the community.
It's about damn time, really. The TF2 source code has already leaked twice. And a group even made a cloned version of the game in an earlier version of the engine. The community support this game still has is massive.

How do you manage schema for exchanges, queues, and routing? The pattern seems to be for each client to set up the schema for the parts they touch before hand, but that doesn't scale well. The schema ends up siloed in each project and nobody knows what the current state should be.

What you actually mean is leave the leaves so they blow away and become your neighbor's problem.
Re:Students invent quieter leaf blower

Moving hundreds of pounds of leaves each season is backbreaking and time consuming work. The game changer is to rake the edges in and mulch them with a mower. Not quiet but it's quick.

For a dystopian look at the housing market, just look at Canada or Australia. Inflation impacted just about every country. At least in America we have lots of land and diverse housing markets we can choose from.

New account. Rage inducing story. Aggressor left the country which leaves no solution. Another motive for these posts is to solicit sympathy donations over DMs.
Re:Uber must pay wheelchair user $35,000, provide accessible rides
on Friday March 08, 2024 @05:22PM (#39647217)
Wow, each ride is taxed $0.90 to hopefully provide taxi companies with wheel chair accessible vehicles so they can perform rides at a loss? The city would be better off forming a non-profit and managing the rides like public transit.

From the abolish rent crowd, I mostly hear that they want more affordable high density housing and less car dependency. Not more parking lots, garages, and chargers.

Safari doesn't support that API whatsoever so a third party JS library is really your only option. The landscape of open source barcode detection libraries is bleak at the moment.
Re:Cat found after Lyft fiasco dragged on for days, Lyft to pay vet bills

In most states it's illegal to abandon an animal on the side of the road. Pandey could try to file a police report to hold the driver responsible.
Re:Cat found after Lyft fiasco dragged on for days, Lyft to pay vet bills

I hope Lyft fires the driver. There's no excuse for dumping someone's pet on the side of the road like trash. The barrier to entry for these apps must be real low.

If you have to go into the street to pick up your order, I don't see the point in food delivery. You might as well walk to the restaurant at that point.
Re:The Fall of Stack Overflow
on Tuesday July 25, 2023 @10:03AM (#36862395)
SO has been around so long a lot of the answers are no longer relevant. I don't place much trust that an answer from 2010 will solve my problem. You often see [2023 UPDATE], but that answer is usually buried or hidden within other answers.
I firmly believe that ChatGTP is the SO killer. You get your answer instantly, it's usually good enough, and you don't have to worry about a mod closing your question as low quality or duplicate.

Re:Reddit Is Killing 3rd-Party Apps, the Best Way to Read the Site
on Friday June 02, 2023 @10:55AM (#36165969)
The Apollo app lets me use Reddit while signed out. I can favorite some subreddits and browse through them with no fuss. The official Reddit app won't do anything until you sign in. Apollo also has a bunch of life improvement features that the Reddit app will never see such as auto collapsing pinned / auto mod comments, icons that identify newer accounts, and showing who deleted posts.

Aren't EV batteries the heaviest part of a vehicle? It seems likely that cars will only get heavier as time goes on.

Sounds like a poorly written AMQP client of which there are many. Either you go bare bones and write wrappers to implement basic functionality or find a fully fleshed out opinionated client. If you can get away with using PostgreSQL go for it.

I would check your owner's manual. Mine says not to be alarmed about noise coming from under the truck. In my case it's a fuel evaporation check.

Re:Maybe Treating Housing as an Investment Was a Colossal Mistake
on Monday March 06, 2023 @01:25PM (#35045269)
Housing is, historically, a not-so-great investment. It has transaction fees, requires maintenance, and you often do not get back the money you put into upgrades. The article paints an overly optimistic picture of owning. Nobody expects housing to go up like it did the last few years. Invest in stocks or index funds. Spend your weekends on your hobbies, not lawn care or painting walls.
