News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I would argue this article is different in that it is about a specific individual and his past rather than the group.

Also, I couldn't find the same information (specifically, ownership or mention of Tesla.Sexy LLC both in article and the comments) as the one I submitted.

edit: wording

I realize political content is in general discouraged here, but I feel this particular instance (rather, the backlash of replies) may be of interest as a "catalyst" post considering the entity in question is, I think, pretty widely known by this point on the nerd/hacker internet.

Title was taken from their second reply.

This sounds like Hacktoberfest with Digital Ocean, specifically. I could also be wrong, but that is the one that stood out to me.

Apologies for the side question here, but what is an "on-trend" resume? This is the first time (in general, on/off HN) I've seen that particular phrase.
Re:A dishwasher can make or break a restaurant on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @01:59PM (#41382280)
I only worked a single restaurant for about 7 weeks. I'd leave with my ears ringing, everything outside sounded muffled at the end of the night.

I understand the appeal some people see in the work (it is honest work after all), but I literally could not hear what people said in there. I just nodded and assumed it wasn't profane!

Seems apt that the error for a generic type would (and should) be spelled "terror."

Clearing the cookies for that website should(?) fix it. Or disabling JS.
What about "synthesizer manufacturer Korg releases new skincare product line"?
I'm not a scientist, but these may be it as they relate to the same topic with the same (or mostly) authors, and were published the week of TFA:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2406930121

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01478-2

I do wish articles would link to these studies instead of just talking about them.

My apologies, I misspoke. It's the program itself that, without my intervention, will go haywire, regardless of whether I've followed a guide or started from scratch. I seem to be the only one with this particular problem, so I never knew how to fix it.

How did you get EAC working exactly? I tried to use it on numerous occasions and each time it would randomly freeze or repeatedly show a dialog box (I forget what it was now, something about tips maybe) until I closed the software. Even while I did nothing the boxes kept appearing. This would cause it to overlay itself endlessly in a loop.
Re:Bioluminescent Petunias at Home on Thursday April 11, 2024 @12:53PM (#40004273)
I have to wonder whether in the coming decades we'll have types of nature preserves or botanical amusement parks where you can stroll through entirely bioluminescent fields (small fields!) of trees and shrubs. Not unlike Avatar, but maybe not (yet) so strongly vibrant. :)
If I may ask, where can I read more about this? I wouldn't really know where to look for something like that, I'm afraid.

Edit: wording.

Re:Power Metal: is it really about dragons? (2018) on Saturday February 24, 2024 @11:49AM (#39492961)
I couldn't find it, either. I looked around their Github and Twitter going back to 2018.

I would wager it was a case of life getting busy, unfortunately, as happens to us all.

Anecdata: My experience when asking others around my region (mid-southern US, not quite Midwest) is that no one ever looks at that kind of thing. If they do look, they look at the projects being made and how your methodology / way of thinking handles a situation, not how active the profile is.
If I may ask, what is your hardware setup like if you're achieving consistent 1.6Gbps? Is that a reproducible, every day speed? Is that only for LAN or both LAN+WAN?
Re:Starship.rs: minimal, fast prompt for any shell on Friday January 26, 2024 @11:55AM (#39144813)
Completely guessing, but the thought comes to mind that Rust was (still is? I don't keep up these days) portrayed as The C Killer. So to specify "written in Rust" was to imply "I wrote something low-level without C/C++" or "I rewrote Popular C Tool in Rust" in the name of memory safety.

This is all wild speculation on my part, so please take it with a large grain of salt. I welcome alternative explanations or experiences.

Re:Why is everything so ugly? on Sunday January 21, 2024 @02:41PM (#39082152)
It looks like it's straight out of an urban scene for Equilibrium.
I'm guessing they were talking about Harmonic[0] as I cannot find anything relevant either through search (DDG) or Play Store called "Harmony" for HN.

This was a very nice and fascinating (although strange) read with my morning coffee. Thank you for sharing.

uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile is enough to not be bothersome. Even if it's not your preferred browser, it could help with ad-riddled sites at least.
