ComodoHacker··on SixtyFPS Becomes Slint
Slint sounds to me like a linter for Swift or something like that. A variation on "slick" would be better IMO.
ComodoHacker··on Show HN: EdgeDB 1.0
So it's basically an ORM over Postgres (and only Postgres)?
ComodoHacker··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
>as long as the data never leaves their servers

This is kind of ridiculous in the cloud era, isn't it?

The analogy with external accountant up this thread is a good one. It's not about where data are processed, it's about how it's used.

ComodoHacker··on Ask HN: What are some good tech magazines?
It's common in countries where Telegram is popular.
ComodoHacker··on Ask HN: What are some good tech magazines?
What bot are you using? The ones I tried quickly became unbearable because of annoying ads.

ComodoHacker··on No-JavaScript Fingerprinting
After 3+ months, they haven't published any data, or I just couldn't find it. Which kind of makes the whole endeavor meaningless.
ComodoHacker··on The EARN IT act is back, and it’s more dangerous than ever
>beeing able to downstream information to thousand of people instant that easy is a problem

Was it a problem a couple centuries ago, when offline media emerged and blossomed? It was the same effect, just smaller scale. Yet, free press is valued as essential for democracy.

ComodoHacker··on The EARN IT act is back, and it’s more dangerous than ever
If you deny them Telegram, Facebook, Parler or any other online platform, people would gather offline and have their echo chambers there. Just as they did before Internet. So you're basically saying 1st amendment harms society, not online platforms.
ComodoHacker··on The EARN IT act is back, and it’s more dangerous than ever
Just interesting, how does Telegram specifically harm society? By letting right wing freaks have their echo chambers there, or do you mean something else?
ComodoHacker··on Facebook says Apple iOS privacy change will result in $10B revenue hit this year
Ads work without tracking, just less efficiently.

On the other hand, misinformation and propaganda also work without tracking, just less efficiently.

Wi'll have to strike a balance somewhere.

Insider leak seems more likely to me.
ComodoHacker··on Google to turn on activity tracking for many users who turned it off
I may be wrong or naive, but I see this move (offer search history that won't be used for advertising) as a good one. Looks like they are finally trying to diversify their business models and have their users as customers, not product.

If true, that means our social pressure on Google (and Facebook, collaterally) is working, and we should keep applying it.

Would you also take the cost of their labor?

ComodoHacker··on Brian Kernighan on the Origins of Unix
They were actually "code-squeezing", and that was normal, because computing power was really scarse those days.
ComodoHacker··on Zim – A Desktop Wiki
Hijacking this comment, I use Horst Schaeffer's MemPad[0] for this. Super lightweight, super simple, super fast. Also great for tracking freelance work with one file per client. Alas, Windows-only.

ComodoHacker··on Show HN: Marginalia – Exploration Mode
At three of the four links I've clicked the page doesn't match preview at all. How often do you update previews?
ComodoHacker··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
I've lost two Gmail accounts (like firstname.lastname@gmail.com) because of this. Now I'm using only nickname accounts and not tying them to anything important.

SciTE is more lightweight. Efficiency is about personal config and habits, though.

We should legitimize using VPN like we legitimized and then adopted e2e encryption.
ComodoHacker··on Scientists believed Covid leaked from Wuhan lab, but feared debate could hurt
There always will be someone trying to win political points from scientific questions asked by others. It's not a reason not to ask.
ComodoHacker··on Explaining to my parents what I do
It was Citadel (along with others) who heavily shorted these stocks. And supposedly they are still trying to save their positions by any means, including illegal ones.

This would take substantial time.

ComodoHacker··on How Telegram Messenger circumvents Google Translate's API
> They are bound to get in trouble with Google for this

From first look, I don't think they are. Telegram gets a new feature, Google gets more data to mine. It's a win-win. I just hope they'll be clear with their users about sending data to Google.

Most people don't actually need full history in most situations, just recent history.
