38··on Google is illegally monopolizing online advertising tech, judge rules

use the actual link please

https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2023/01/6371209cd0cce428b526...

that website is also terrible - no scrolling issues because you cannot scroll at all - and no idea what to click because not a single labeled button/link on the entire page, only some vague unlabeled icons. even on hover you get nothing

38··on Reproducing Hacker News writing style fingerprinting

this got two accounts that I used to use

38··on Notion Mail is out

"I imagine" which means they have no idea what they are talking about

38··on Notion Mail is out

yes I don't like security decisions forced upon me, that's reasonable. if I want a throwaway email, I don't need MFA because I don't care if the account is compromised. but I don't get to make that decision because Google decided for me that my account will have forced MFA

38··on Notion Mail is out

yeah gross. I just finished moving everything off Gmail because they are forcing MFA

38··on Using bad hardware: why I work in the terminal (2024)

As someone with years of windows and Linux experience, yes the Linux shell is quite good, but mac bsd shell is terrible, even compared to powershell

38··on Using bad hardware: why I work in the terminal (2024)

> all too often we sit down at high powered macs

I think you mean you. I don't and never have done that, and I suspect millions of windows developers have not either.

38··on Saturn's moon Titan could harbor life, but only a tiny amount

> Unfortunately I couldn't read the linked study because I was stuck in an endless CAPTCHA loop of trying to find an image of a refrigerator among a varying set of only helicopters, ships, and avocados

I got through on the first try, and I block third party JavaScript with a whitelist

38··on Show HN: Pets for Cursor

Why anyone would want to watch vibe coding is beyond me.

38··on Show HN: Zxc – Rust TLS proxy with tmux and Vim as UI, BurpSuite alternative

> tmux and vim as user interface

you should really drop this. I don't what MitmProxy uses, but I know that I can just download it from here

https://mitmproxy.org/downloads

and it just works - I am not gonna try another program if I have to install these other parts to get it working

38··on The role of developer skills in agentic coding

you seem to be projecting your own experience rather than giving an accurate representation of developer productivity - 15k is not the norm at all or even close to it.

38··on IronRDP: a Rust implementation of Microsoft's RDP protocol

Just what I want, a C requirement for a Rust project

38··on IronRDP: a Rust implementation of Microsoft's RDP protocol

cannot build for windows ironically

38··on I fear for the unauthenticated web

38··on Powers of 2 with all even digits

yeah that's weird - its kind of a pointless comment without an included algorithm or something

38··on Zinc, a systems programming language prototype

> No package manager to distract you

What decade am I in? This is not optional any more. Hard pass.

38··on Idiomatic Go (2016)

> That's just "don't create a non-static method if you don't use 'this'" in other languages with classes

Go doesn't have static methods. Regardless if you name the receiver, you have to provide an instance of the type to all methods. Maybe you should check your own knowledge before criticizing others

38··on Welcome to Ladybird, a truly independent web browser

Need native windows version, not WSL

38··on Every .gov Domain

38··on One year after switching from Java to Go

Java has the best IDEs, because as a language development is essentially impossible without one. contrast with Go where I can put as many types into one file as I like, and I can (and do) use Go without an IDE, both personally and professionally

38··on One year after switching from Java to Go

https://github.com/codr7/tyred-java/tree/main/src/codr7/tyre...

24 of those files are under 100 lines - some of them are as small as three lines of code. and that's not a personal preference - that's mandated by Java that each type needs to be in its own file, ridiculous.

38··on Court Documents Shed New Light on DOGE Activity at Treasury Department

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Zetter

38··on How (not) to sign a JSON object (2019)

Json encoded as a string is cursed, no one should do that and stop suggesting it. Base64 is fine or even ascii85

38··on Show HN: voidDB – A transactional key-value DB written in Go for 64-bit Linux

seems pretty bloated

https://github.com/voidDB/voidDB/blob/master/go.sum

38··on Japan's original decluttering guru (no, not that one)

Groan

38··on Proof of location for online polls

No you read it right. The proposal is idiotic and Will resulted in rural voters being detected as foreign residents

38··on I created an open-source Hardware Hacking Wiki – with tutorials for beginners

wrong. your definition essentially means "business friendly", the wiki is open source in every way that matters, except for "lets make money off this persons free work"

38··on I created an open-source Hardware Hacking Wiki – with tutorials for beginners

that definition is wrong, really by just common sense

38··on Show HN: lmno.lol – Drag and drop blogging minus the yucky bits of modern web

Where is the vertical scroll bar?
