BraverHeart··on Tinnitus Neuromodulator
How would replacing a buzzing sound problem with a synthetic buzzing solve the problem of... not hearing any buzzing?

It's like trying to put out fire by lighting more fire, what am I missing?

BraverHeart··on I asked ChatGPT to generate a typical HN front page, it feels oddly accurate
Prompt: Generate a typical Hacker News front page posts list.
BraverHeart··on Show HN: iFixit created a new USB-C, repairable soldering system
Can you suggest an alternative please?
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why is WhatsApp API so bad?
Their message template feature also has multiple limitations, for instance you aren't allowed to put variables in the footer section, but you are allowed to do so in the header section, which is strange.
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why is WhatsApp API so bad?
Also the current limitations don't solve spam, I get spammed on WhatsApp often, it just limits it on the expense of non-offending businesses that want to offer quality service to their customers.
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why is WhatsApp API so bad?
They could easily implement a reputation system, with checks and balances, and a strict approval process.

Or implement a progressive system that allows you more freedoms as you build a good reputation (Being an honest business, not having spam intentions)

The painful part of on-boarding for me was technical (Setting up API keys, doing initial configuration, etc., the UX is bad), not administrative.

These are just ideas I thought of on the spot, I'm sure they can come up with a better workflow if they needed.

BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Selling B2B SaaS Software to SMEs
Thanks, what aspects of the process are affected by this definition, besides pricing (potentially).
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Selling B2B SaaS Software to SMEs
Part of it, yes.
BraverHeart··on Sqids – Generate short unique IDs from numbers
I see many people in this thread saying that this is a good way to hide insights from ids/numbers, I don't understand, aren't the generated values easily decoded? couldn't I just decode a couple of numbers to get that insight? What am I missing.
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: What happened to video progress bars?
I'd like to also point that many content creators end up adding an artificial progress bar to the video itself...
BraverHeart··on Deno 1.34: Deno compile supports NPM packages
Isn't one of the main selling points of Deno is the new package management system, wouldn't supporting NPM effectively nullify the benefits?

Will there be a strategy to avoid NPM ultimately becoming the defacto package manager for Deno

BraverHeart··on Toaster: Pure CSS 3D Editor
What do you mean? I couldn't find what you're describing in the app.
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: What does a large application's daily development workflow look like?
How did you learn to tolerate this long cycle of engineering, compared to say building a service that can rebuild in a second?
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Are ICs at tech companies usually so concerned about job performance?
From ChatGPT: "IC" is short for "individual contributor." This is a term used to describe someone who is responsible for their own work within an organization, rather than managing a team. Individual contributors are typically focused on completing specific tasks or projects, rather than overseeing the work of others. In the context of the comment you provided, it sounds like the poster is asking if individual contributors at tech companies are typically very concerned about their job performance.
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: How can the google.com domain point to different IPs based on location?
How can one set up region-specific DNS replies? is it exclusive to large companies?
BraverHeart··on Tell HN: Never Trust 'Lifetime' Licenses
The same thing happened for old lifetime Team Viewer licenses, they force you to stay with the old version and use dark patterns to force you to update to new versions.

:/

BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a simple, seemless Windows screen recording app?
Not bad! The closest solution to what I wanted, unfortunate that it's no longer maintained :-(, any idea what happened?
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a simple, seemless Windows screen recording app?
Thank you, this looks interesting, though it has a lot of other features.
BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a simple, seemless Windows screen recording app?
I don't have a rational answer for this, it just seems that such a simple task, would need a simple solution.

Just downloading and installing this took minutes and kind of stressed my computer and when I finally tried to launch it, it asked me to sign up before I can use it, so I abandoned and uninstalled it.

I can't recommend this to someone else, when it has such a barrier to entry.

BraverHeart··on Ask HN: Why isn't there a simple, seemless Windows screen recording app?
Thank you for the suggestion, but I would file this under too bloated for the job in terms of features and size. I mean LiceCap is less than 1MB in size and it does a third of what's needed, Snagit is a 300Mb+ download!
BraverHeart··on Gitlab servers are being exploited in DDoS attacks
Does anyone know how they actually find all these instances to exploit? For instance say your instance is attached to a subdomain, how would they find it? or say your instance is running in a port other than 80, how would they find it as well?
