I will not buy this record, it is scratched

I've never seen this in C# code! How common is this? Do you have any references? Sounds like a useful convention (it's nigh impossible to google). VS only distinguishes between `/&#…

This is great analysis!

I wonder if it's 2560x1440 (as claimed in the upper section), or 1280x720 (as claimed lower). Given the lower resolution is 1/4 of the larger, and the product description diagram shows quar…

This title lead me to believe I'd be finding the result of a study.. not receiving the sales pitch. There have been studies before[0] with available tools[1] and advice[2].. perhaps this shoul…

The actual essay[0] is more tempered than the linked news release would suggest, and sounds like Professor Frank is hedging more than anything. The precise technology used is a complicated by 5G usin…

There's a great Software Engineering Daily podcast with Elio Rivero [0] (audio and transcript in link) that goes into depth on Deno, TypeScript, JavaScript support. It's interesting that co…

s/It's/It might be/ While the article implies it has the answer (including with the title).. it's clear they're speculating and don't have the answer. A quote from …

State - SW England & Catholic - NE Scotland. I'm not sure? But I first started (outside of school) on a typewriter, and terminals were all fixed width (Acorn, Amiga, BBC) - which the argume…

The original post didn't work, and now the updated link (ccc.de) reports 404

The other one's the dupe (by submission time)

Ok, so view source to find out how they're made (or visit the github linked here.. but it's the same effect, procedurally generated in JS embedded in the HTML). If you're expecting peo…

Title should be "Apple's M1 processor spotlights Intel's chip challenges" and while this picked quote is in there, it goes on to list legitimate value (although hardly innovations)
comment
Bit of an editorialized title from "Slack updates and changes"
comment
The post is from March, and the product ended in June (see the awkward tense flash across the top).. this seems.. untimely
comment
Why did the title change (on HN)? It now no longer matches the original article ("I’ve been an engineer and a recruiter. Hiring is broken. Here’s why… and what it should be like instead.") …

For those who watched the Plasma Lightsaber Build (Retractable Blade)[0] a few days ago.. here's the newly released test video [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24765267 …
