Cupprum··on My long goodbye to Windows XP (2022)
Windows is more responsive than Linux? Could you elaborate please?
Cupprum··on Libreboot 20230319 Released
I am very much happy to see that this project is alive again and regularly releasing updates. Amazing job Leah Rowe :)
Cupprum··on Denuvo DRM v17 (Hogwarts Legacy) Cracked in 11 Days
Wow. I am really impressed how the amount of time required to crack a game, which is covered by Denuvo changed.
Cupprum··on Apple orders entire supply of TSMC's 3nm chips for iPhone 15 Pro and M3 Macs
Where did you get those numbers? According to [1] its not even the same ballpark. To me it seems that even normal m1 is a bit better [2].

Cupprum··on Ask HN: Why did Frontend development explode in complexity?
Of course you can, but it would be hell when it comes to state management.
Cupprum··on Ask HN: Is programming culture immature?
> I don't want to use Windows, when I hunt for jobs I avoid jobs that do not offer mac/linux laptop. This is probably immature

I dont think the windows in itself is the issue here. To my experience, when the employer enforces the use of windows, its because you really cannot use something else to do your work because of some specific network policies which disallow you to connect to the network itself. Also the use of windows goes usually hand in hand with other stupid policies, which forbid you to do anything on your computer which is not part of the job. Sometimes it goes as far as not allowing you to change your wallpaper or restarting your computer in the middle of your work without even warning you every day. I don't blame people for choosing to work in other companies where they don't have to fight the security department when they need to install the basic tools for their job. The tooling you use should be decided on the team level, not the whole company level.

Cupprum··on Min: A fast, minimal browser that protects your privacy
Electron used to be much worse than it is right now. The project matured a lot. That being said, there still are some things to improve.
Cupprum··on Tailwind is a leaky abstraction
You have a shiny new tool called hammer and now everything seems to look like a nail to you. Tailwind is not made to completely ditch css. Its not a replacement, it just tries to make your life easier. At least in most cases in my experience.
Cupprum··on Cracking Passwords Using John the Ripper
If the password complexity is small, than sure, you can use rainbow tables. But if the password get longer and longer, than have do you want to store the rainbow tables? Also if you have salted passwords, how are the rainbow tables going to help?
Cupprum··on Cracking Passwords Using John the Ripper
Rainbow tables are still being used?
Cupprum··on Deno 1.27
I really like the irony of this. The creator of node is fighting node now. Good jobs guys! You are doing nice job with deno.
Cupprum··on Apple’s new App Store tax on ads is a direct shot at Meta
I think that at this point they know that in future, app store will be regulated. Thats why they have these offensive policies targeted towards specific companies. Earn now as much as possible from this, while its still possible.
Cupprum··on Robot Framework: generic open source automation framework
If you use Robot Framework and have a lot of tests, which can be executed in parallel. Take a look at pabot [1]. It is a parallel executor for Robot Framework.

Cupprum··on Robot Framework: generic open source automation framework
The developer experience is fairly nice when it comes to Robot Framework. Nice thing is, that Robot Framework was originally designed as automation tool, so also people who do not know a lot about coding can get up to speed fairly easily.
Cupprum··on Robot Framework: generic open source automation framework
I wrote my bachelor thesis about Robot Framework. The biggest issue i had with Robot Framework was the lack of support in IDEs. Initially you were suppose to work on Robot Framework in RIDE (dedicated IDE build on top of Eclipse) or use a Eclipse extension. I believe both of these are not supported anymore. I like Vim, so i wrote a package, which helps users when developing with Robot Framework. I also created some pull requests for Vim ALE to also support rflint.

We also used Robot Framework at work for automated testing, worked like charm.

Cupprum··on Available Today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 a.k.a. Project Volterra
1 - The instruction set is more interesting because it is smaller.

2 - Arm also implements weak ordering which is type of memory model. It allows instructions to be separated into groups based on whether they affect other instructions. This allows these groups to skip some waiting lines. (Magic). X86 has strong ordering, which can make it slower in specific scenarios.

Cupprum··on Neovim 0.8 Released
I switched to neovim because of LSP (Language server protocol) support. I know there are libraries (or whatever cool kids call it these days), which brings this functionality to og vim, but the lsp integration in neovim just works so nicely out of the box.
Cupprum··on Bob's Your Uncle
My Australian friends use it all the time. Also, i believe it was used in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Cupprum··on VSCodium – Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VS Code
Some Microsoft extensions do not work in vscodium. I have been using it for more than a year now, but i still miss the remote development using SSH.

Cupprum··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
Today i just saw this video about small phones. The only bad thing is that the camera is pretty bad :(

Cupprum··on Twitter CEO fires two top executives, freezes hiring
Maybe its a way to give his “friends” golden parachutes before he also quits after they sell twitter?
Cupprum··on Super Simple Storage Service
> S3 Deep Archive supports restores unlike the write-only S4

I bet that a Super service like this may also support restores, but because of security reasons, they would only be internally and not be visible to the end user.

Cupprum··on Firefox DNS-over-HTTPS
> but let's be clear here, nobody besides Firefox is going to respect user choice about using DoH.

I strongly feel like Brave would also respect users choices, even though they made some mistakes in the past.

Cupprum··on The 0.5 MB of nothing in all Apple Music files (2020)
> In 2022, we shouldn't be reserving any area of a file as 'spare space' like this.

I completely understand your point, but maybe it would be a breaking change.

Cupprum··on The 0.5 MB of nothing in all Apple Music files (2020)
Depends whether you download it or just stream it.
Cupprum··on “Sustainability with Rust” post misleading about Go
>That statement is about as true as saying you can compile Python natively.

Python is actually compiled. When you run a file, it firstly compiles the cod into a bytecode, which is saved in ‘.pyc’ files. These are afterwards interpreted by the interpreter.
