I did this as a prank a long time ago to a friend. He couldn’t log in, and I think it took us a while to figure out how to change it back without being able to log in. Or maybe he found the Dvorak map…

I still think that what’s even sillier than QWERTY is the fact that the keys are angled up to the left on both sides. Sure this (sort of) makes sense for your right hand, but the left hand does not na…

> and I’m surprised it’s a stock app by the company itself I’m not surprised. Apple’s first party apps have always seemed like afterthoughts that were lower priority than other things. (E.g. relati…

> You cannot do it in one pass > If you want code reviews to be good you need a policy that the reviewers need to approve it 3 days in a row without changes I may be misunderstanding, but it…

FWIW, this seems to get reposted a lot. I think this is the fourth submission in the past 10 days. Three recent submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41207608 (147 points,…

My guess is the two lanes merging into one are only getting one lane. That is, only one lane is added after the merge, and both overpass lanes are merging into the one new lane. But if there are indee…

Yeah, at this point, I assume that anyone has anything they want on me. From what I read, the best thing you can do is freeze all credit reports and add a PIN to your tax efiling.

> You clearly don't understand the article since it's not about clues at all, but entirely about guessing. Not entirely about guessing. In fact, guessing isn’t involved at all, at least n…

I mean, when I played some NES games, I might hear the same level loop for 30 minutes before I hear the next level. My brain can’t compute hearing the song from a level for only one loop. :)

I feel like this is one step closer to the Black Mirror episode where the grieving widow orders an AI version of her late husband. And I don’t say this with excitement.

We must have played different games/consoles. Maybe your reference point is Atari 2600, in which case I’d agree with you. But NES/SNES, and other consoles that followed are far from “torture…

It’s not clear what the reference date is. If it’s the last time you viewed a page, then this would remain mostly unchanged (meaning no rank changes, no “new”), for example, when you refresh the page …

I guess I’m in the minority, but I can’t remember the last time I used Yelp to find restaurants. It’s been obvious for years (it feels like at least 10, maybe more) that they can’t be trusted. I’m act…

To be fair, the “C” in CES stands for “consumer”, so it’s understandable why people would assume these were meant for consumers to use in homes. Many people follow CES as it often shows off products t…

I’ve been using Google Maps forever. When Apple Maps came out, I experimented with it a bit, even tried using it as a default, and it was terrible. Several locations it couldn’t find, or just was in t…

The VP used to be the runner up [1]. E.g. the current administration would be Biden and Trump. I couldn’t imagine that working today, as divided as the parties have become (especially in the last 20 y…
comment
On the EV6, there's a paddle behind the steering wheel that you can use instead of the brake pedal that will use 100% regenerative braking. I use that almost exclusively, only using the brake ped…
comment
I've loved it, for the most part, especially compared to ICE vehicles. We've had some minor issues with the heat/AC/heat pump, and a number of recalls that are sometimes hard to sc…
comment
A big selling point for EVs, for me, was much lower maintenance. No brake disc/pad replacements, no oil changes -- or any fluids! -- and no trips to the gas station. Mostly just tire rotations…
comment
I'm much less optimistic about the future of EVs as I was a couple years ago (when we bought our Kia EV6). It seems like I see more news recently, like this, of companies reversing their position…

I hope the “/s” was implied. I thought about making a similar post, in the true spirit of a “Show HN”, but would have included the “/s”.

I never got the impression that the market ever cares about data breaches. It seems most companies are rarely held financially responsible for data breaches anyway. I would bet any effects you’re seei…

I was actually thinking she has a similar look to Anya Taylor-Joy, and would have a similar look if she were a younger actor today. There are definitely actors today to also have an unconventional loo…
