Haha, I always guess whether or not there will be an LTSC comment before checking the comments. These days it's always there, even early after posting.
Fair point. I have been trying to reduce political comments since you pointed this out. My request is that if HN wants to avoid political comments, HN should update its policy to not allow political posts. Otherwise the temptation is sometimes too great.
That won't work for a ton of different reasons that we learned the hard way. One is that there's no agreement about what counts as "politics". Another is that if you try to exclude politics, the effect is to motivate political commenters into posting even more—understandably so, from their perspective.
So HN will always have a certain amount of politics and all we can do is ask people to keep it to a relatively low percentage of what they do on HN, to respect the site guidelines while they do it, and to remember the intended use of the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Regardless, at least a few of my colleagues using Windows have reported issues with the new start menu. It seems very slow, and sometimes you have to close & reopen it for content to appear.
Searching for things via the Start menu is also totally hit or miss, on 5 different PCs that I regularly use, especially trying to open "Add or Remove Programs" (as described in an earlier comment).
Oh completely agreed on the start menu being slower.
I don’t use it anymore. Fortunately since my windows usage is restricted only to work and I have an ultra wide monitor, I’m able to pin all the apps I need on the taskbar. With the Win + # shortcuts I can avoid the start menu completely.
In the past I didn’t use the taskbar at all and depended on Win + search entirely.
I'm already so annoyed by the SUV craze that flew over from the US. Cars are already getting bigger, with no apparent benefit besides status (as marketed by the industry).
Am I the only one who thinks these vehicles look silly on top of all the added danger?
SUV are easier to get in, you do not need to be a contortionist to get to your seat.
My brother has an Audi sedan and I find it difficult to get in. This is practically impossible for our father. OTOH he is fine with climbing into my SUV
I have Toyota RAV4, a not so big car, but hugh enough for my butt to basically slide in without effort.
>We’ve continued to make solid progress on WPT this month. There has been a significant increase in passing subtests, with 111,431 new passing subtests bringing our total to 1,964,649.
The majority of this increase comes from a large update to the test suite itself, with 100,751 subtests being added - mainly due to the Wasm core tests being updated to Wasm 3.0.
They fixed ~10k tests, but indeed this month is a bit of an exception as there were lots of new tests added.
It costs 1,100eur for the cheapest model where I'm at. Not prohibitively expensive, but I would never pay it for a machine that does not properly run Linux. I'm sure it is good hardware compared to similarly priced laptops though.
Nobody said anything about Microsoft here, so I don't understand the comparison. Just like Apple is better than Microsoft in that they don't actively prevent people from running the software of their choice on the hardware they bought, there's other companies that are better than either of them. There's hardware component vendors like AMD, Intel, and Realtek that employ people to maintain and upstream Linux kernel drivers for their hardware rather than leaving it up to the community to reverse engineer everything and develop new drivers like Apple does. Then there's PC companies like Lenovo, Dell, and System76 that will build a computer with these components and sell it to you with Linux preloaded. No dealing with Microsoft is required.
> I would never pay it for a machine that does not properly run Linux.
I find comments like this a little puzzling. Apple products run MacOS. The operating system is part of the package. And yet someone always shows up to say they would never buy it because of the operating system… it would be like me showing up on a post about an android phone and saying I would never buy it because it won’t run iOS.
I would add that no highlighting would be applied to this mistyped word as it would not be recognised as a variable or a keyword. This may depend on the way syntax highlighting is handled. A common solution like treesitter would sus out that no variable with the name retunr exists, probably causing the mythical base colour to be applied, heh. That is arguably a big highlight in a colourscheme that rarely uses its base colour.
Don't extra security measures in authenticator apps provide protection against this?
I need to enter a pin/fingerprint in order to access my codes. And the code of an entry is hidden and only temporarily shown after being tapped.
