News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Thanks for sharing your app. I've been trying a couple of conversations, but the AI is hearing its own voice and then responding to itself, without letting me speak. I hope I'm not doing something wrong, but if I am, this could be a problem faced by many others.
Re:Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs? on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @07:15AM (#39273421)
This is a cool project! Love the fact that some comment summaries are added too. I hope you would continue building it, and also make the text easier to read- like by making the page fixed-width.

Love this, and hope you continue the development.

Feature request: Ability to open an HN URL in Haxplore.

Not only that, the account could have done worse in the coming weeks - so it's better to be late than never.
Re:My Favourite Git Commit on Saturday October 19, 2019 @05:57AM (#21297685)
Also from the commit message:

> like Shift JIS (sometimes called SHIT JIZZ)

Back then when I was working for a Japanese outsourced project, the code won't compile unless the computer's locale was set to Japanese because the C code had comments in Shift JIS.

Re:How FZF and ripgrep improved my workflow on Friday July 05, 2019 @12:50PM (#20363935)
I use workflows in Alfred[0] for finding files, navigating to pages, and searching around a multitude of other customized datasets. The advantage I have with that over a fzf, at least for me, is being able to search instantly with a Cmd+Space without having to switch to the terminal.

Re:Password expiration is dead, long live passwords on Monday June 03, 2019 @05:56AM (#20081697)
It's very disturbing to see that your worst passwords are for your bank accounts. Each bank I've worked with has some weird limitation like this. Not to forget that the only form of MFA that most banks allow is SMS - assuming they even offer MFA.

I once spent 15 minutes trying to register in a local Domino's website which kept bugging me about lack of a special character - even though I had one in it. Turned out to be that the app truncates the entered password after the first 20 characters and only considers the first part. Thankfully the special character was after the 20th position so I noticed the error and fixed it, but if it wasn't I'd be wondering the next time I'm logging in why it's not letting me login with a valid password.
Re:Password expiration is dead, long live passwords on Monday June 03, 2019 @05:42AM (#20081645)
As long as it is in a place that you 'have', I believe we can technically count it as MFA.

After 1Password introduced MFA (TOTP) support, it has been used widely in organizations in shared vaults so multiple people can share critical logins that use MFA. This of course means that if your 1Password account is compromised it's game over.

Re:Map of Proposed US Time Zone Changes on Monday May 06, 2019 @11:13PM (#19846146)
Coming from a different part of the world, this proposed change was news to me. Does anyone have a link to the actual proposal and reasoning?

> If you don't care about showing off then you won't publish anything

I want to agree, but how can we explain near-anonymous StackOverflow profiles who have brilliant answers in them, but no way to identify who the actual person they are?

While this may not answer all your questions, here's a good write up about the topic by Troy Hunt, a respected thought-leader in the industry: https://www.troyhunt.com/heres-why-your-static-website-needs...
> good software is not enough to win

This might give the idea that good software is necessary [1] to win, but history has proven this is not always the case.

Does anyone have a source for this news beyond the TNW article that's being shared everywhere? I couldn't find any official announcement from GitHub.
Re:Ask HN: What happened to Pinboard? on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @12:14AM (#18756038)
I've been using the bookmarklet to pin bookmarks all along. No memory/CPU footprints like the extension and it's still working.
Re:Pinboard Acquires Delicious on Friday June 02, 2017 @08:03AM (#14469245)
I use the bookmarklet. No overhead, plain simple.

Awesome, thank you!
Re:What's New in Create React App on Friday May 19, 2017 @02:03AM (#14373330)
It's nice to see built-in offline caching support with service workers. Can anyone explain how this cache gets invalidated when a change is made to the code?
