there are a wide variety of ways to indirectly detect that someone opened devtools

the most common way is to set a breakpoint, which pause JS execution only if devtools are open. this pause can be detected with a timer.

Definitely not only C compilers. Any optimizing compiler can remove code from your program which you might deem important but that the compiler thinks is irrelevant.

No, tradmarks can be parodied too. It's a first amendment protection, and extremely common in movies, TV and video games.

If the developer worked with a lawyer they could've gotten any suit by IKEA (this wasn't a suit yet, just a cease and desist letter) quickly dismissed.

> It's a first amendment protection

FWIW: Ziggy, the developer, is based in the UK.

Oh, I must have missed that

In that case yeah, it certainly depends on what the local laws say. I think in the UK parody protection applies to copyright but not trademarks.

Parent commenter didn't say anything about you personally. They disagreed with you, yes, but that's not an insult.

So I can say "that is wildly unhinged" but I can't say "you are wildly unhinged"?

You understand that's pedantic, right?

But ok, noted: must be pedantic on HN. Do not use second person.

EDIT: SHIT! My bad. I meant to say: "I wonder if the person I am speaking to understands that's pedantic."

I don’t know what spectrum you’re on, but attacking an argument and attacking a person are two wildly different things. There’s nothing pedantic about that.

qarl · 2026-09-12T14:45:31.000000Z

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Sharlin · 2026-09-12T14:50:17.000000Z

Ah, you’re just a troll. Flaggety-flag. Have fun in the hellban-land.

qarl · 2026-09-12T14:53:28.000000Z

My friend, I attacked the statement, not the person, just as you recommended.

I see you have trouble with the distinction too.

And I'm pretty sure "I don’t know what spectrum you’re on" is also an insult. Naughty naughty.

Mass surveillance has certainly gone too far, but comparing 3000 premeditated murders to car accidents is not really a logical way to argue that. We investigate murder for a reason, despite it being a much rarer cause of death than natural causes and accidents.

wat10000 · 2026-09-11T21:53:52.000000Z

Why? Seems to me that dead is dead, regardless of how it happens.

> Should the state do nothing about children not being sent to school?

> Should they go hungry when not fed?

> Should the state do nothing about children not being sent to school?

Of course the government should do something. They should punish the neglectful parent, and take away the child if needed.

What I'm missing is the logical leap to "everyone must give their sensitive personal information to an overseas corporation".

> They commanded full power 15 seconds before the crash

Not 15 seconds before the crash, 15 seconds before the end of the recording. Then overran the runway 10 seconds before the end of the recording, then started crashing into objects 7 seconds before the end of the recording.

Thrust was reduced back to idle 11 seconds before the end of the recording, so just before departing the runway.

phire · 2026-09-11T09:08:02.000000Z

Ah, those timings make a lot more sense.

They aborted the go-around attempt because they were literally at the end of the runway; Probably because they thought it would be "safer" to run off the end without the engines rapidly reaching full thrust.

Real life is a game of risk/reward rather than a game of deep calculation. You can't "calculate" life because there are too many variables and unknowns. You have to simply pick a path and either accept the risks or mitigate them.

Depends on what you do in life.

This is similar to (but much higher-level than) the Shakespeare programming language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_Programming_Langua...

The Find N6 still has a noticeable crease, it's just much smaller than the average foldable (here's a video of it with the screen off: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ss31thoK7xM).

If someone truly can't tolerate their phone screen being in any way perceptibly different from a single flat pane of glass, then they shouldn't buy foldables. It's something you have to get used to or ignore, with any brand. Especially over time as you bend and unbend the phone repeatedly and the crease deepens.
