ConanRus··on Pi-hole v6
We’ve integrated a new REST API and embedded web server directly into the pihole-FTL binary. This eliminates the need for lighttpd and PHP"

oh noes!

ConanRus··on “A calculator app? Anyone could make that”
yours give 1 on (10^100)+1-(10^100), cool
ConanRus··on Show HN: Game Bub – open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld
this is very impressive. all i say is you might port some of the Mister cores as well, if only for Roms support.

Portable FPGA retro console would be great.

ConanRus··on Show HN: Game Bub – open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld
Why only GB/GBA? Mister FPGA support lot's of cores which can use the same Screen and controls: NES, SNES, various Sega consoles, C64, MSX etc.

And any cheap Chinese retro-console of the same sort support even more of them. So from a practical standpoint I don't see any advantage of this (no doubt cool) project.

ConanRus··on S1: A $6 R1 competitor?
Wait
ConanRus··on America desperately needs more air traffic controllers
Oh noes, what happened?
ConanRus··on WikiTok
Sorry, but I don't see any dancing girls, so this app is not for me I guess
ConanRus··on Ending our third party fact-checking program and moving to Community Notes model
oh no what happened?
ConanRus··on What made Dostoevsky's work immortal
As a Russian I can tell you: don't go there. You won't understand Dostoevsky fully without growing up in the Russian culture, full of depression, fatalism and похуизм (I don't give a damn attitude). Reading classic Russian literature is the right way to depression and craziness. Just don't do that.
ConanRus··on QNX is now free for anything non-commercial, plus there's an RPi image
why didn't they just open it for all with a proper license? as soon as you're move toward a commercial product with qnx you're immediately own them money. and no money with linux. who will us qnx on these terms?
ConanRus··on Parks on the Air
Note that there's not only Phone/Voice, but also CW and digital modes (Like FT8), so it's possible not to speak with ppl at all and still do the activation.
ConanRus··on My IRC client runs on Kubernetes
overdone in a perfect nerdy way
ConanRus··on HyperCard Simulator

Please

ConanRus··on Building a new ZX Spectrum from all new parts
Back in the end of 80s - 90s in the USSR/Russia were were lots of ZX Spectrum variants, and none of them had the ULA. They all were engineered to use the most popular and easy to obtain components.

So i believe you still can build one for cheap.

This one was one of the most popular variants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_(computer)

ConanRus··on Karl Guttag on Apple Vision Pro (Part 1)
It's the same concern I heard before the 1st Ipad announce: we want a MacOs on a tablet! No you don't. Coz MacOs apps knows nothing about the touch screen interface. And they know nothing about VR also, so nothing is changed here.
ConanRus··on The Io Language
history: created in 2002, actively developed until 2008

So it's old and dead? What's the point in posting this on HN?

ConanRus··on Tolstoy’s Children’s Stories
Actually, as Russian i know that most of classic Russian literature (before revolution of 1917) is highly depressing. I was attending a school while USSR was still alive, and even with relatively small number of classic russian books passed thru Soviet censorship, it was always like this: sad and depressing. Tolstoy, Nekrasov, Dostoevsky, Chekhov - no difference.
ConanRus··on Replace GRUB2 with systemd-boot on Ubuntu 18.04 (2018)
Waiting for systemd-kernel
ConanRus··on WebAssembly’s post-MVP future
This is all right and all, but I have one question: why the hell it needs to be inside of a browser? To do what exactly? I don't care about browsers, I care about applications. I don't want freaking Photoshop in my browser, because I want a browser to die. This should be a part of the OS, not a freaking browser. Give me a built-in runtime with sandboxing, a delivery method, and an AppStore. Give me next generation Java/Flash. I tired of a browser as an OS replacement. It is not and it shouldn't be.
ConanRus··on Lerna relicences to protest ICE
And what exactly wrong with supporting ICE?
ConanRus··on How Discord Scaled Elixir to 5M Concurrent Users
I do not see there any Elixir specific, it is all basically Erlang/Erlang VM/OTP stuff. When you using Erlang, you think in terms of actors/processes and message passing, and this is (IMHO) a natural way of thinking about distributed systems. So this article is a perfect example how simple solutions can solve scalability issues if you're using right platform for that.
ConanRus··on How to write Common Lisp in 2017 – an initiation manual
Short answer: don't do that, use Clojure instead. It doesn't have any of listed problems.
ConanRus··on H-1B visas mainly go to Indian outsourcing firms
>> The economist article actually provides a better solution. Visas shouldn't be tied to a particular employer. The employee should be able to transition to a new employer without a new visa application.

I'm surprised by the level of expertise, demonstrated by the economist, given the fact that current H1B system already works EXACTLY THAT WAY. H1B visa holder can transfer to a new employer any time, if new employer is willing to fill in the papers, even without notifying the current employer.

L1B visa is tied to a particular employer (because it just intracompany transfer), not H1B.
