I'd love to see a write up on how you've got this deployed if you have one or are willing to share any repos?

The guardian does have a semi-paywall in that you can either share your personal data with them or pay. Which in my opinion is a breach of the GDPR but apparently the UK ICO has said it’s fine. Yet another toothless/useless organisation

Looking at the source/mod log/etc. it very much looks like it's using lobsters - https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters

FYI. Ryobi has nothing to do with Home Depot. It's owned by a Hong Kong power tool manufacturer, and used to be Japanese (in fact, Ryobi still exists as a tool manufacturer, just not the power tool division)

Probably the reason they're not in any of the hauls is because they have a reputation for not being very good, and are harder to sell/fence...

This sounds very much like Apple being maliciously compliant. Similar to their complaint against Epic Games... I'd be interested to see what the EU makes of this.

She says that she was doing a 3 month "ramp" - which I can assume is the induction period. She'd only got out of the ramp and started "proper" at the beginning of December, which is what (I think) you heard

Until the new year, when it will be closed down, unless you pay

I would say Bevy isn't really similar to Unity. Something like Fyrox - https://fyrox.rs/ - would be more similar. Bevy is more low level and lacks an editor (as of now, it's planned)

The issue here isn't just with free users, it mainly affects users who are already paying fees to Unity

Software Heritage have a copy of it here https://bitbucket-archive.softwareheritage.org/projects/ba/b...

Not sure exactly how to do it (not used mercurial in a long time), but I extracted the repository tarball to a directory then used hg clone to make the code usable/readable

New comment by CornishPasty in "Apple releases open source 'Password Manager Resources' project for developers"

CornishPasty — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 19:20:01 +0000

I feel like this would be better as a Well-Known URI, for example /.well-known/password-manager.json with similar format to the repo – That way it's not up to Apple to decide what goes in the repository

Mr Bean was ITV, and The IT Crowd was Channel 4. Hopefully they'll both follow suit!

Ah right that makes sense.

It seems odd that it took them so long to identify and rectify the issue. Have they made you any assurances about what they'll do to reduce this time/prevent this from happening in future?

Was the original BERT formatting from the Hub or from something inside the Gateway's network? I always associated BERT with Erlang, do you know if it was involved or if it was something else?

Cheers for this blog post, by the way. It was really informative about the issue, and about how FPS works.

From what I can gather, gp posted a joke in reference to the usual clickbait headlines of BuzzFeed, not against the code itself.

It doesn't like the HN referrer, if you request it manually it works

Why am I not surprised that it's Admiral, one of the worst car insurers I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

I believe you just need to remove 'margin-bottom: 2em;' from .top-bar in styles.css

Looks great, although I was put off when the instructions to add a server used a goo.gl URL, and then piped the output into a sudo shell...

Would be nice if it used your own domain (HTTPS is essential!) and if the script didn't require super user from the outset (or perhaps it could explain what it is going to do, and then request super user permissions)

In that case why are they using GitHub?
