Ennea··on Making IRC better
I'm already benefiting from IRCv3's server time extension [1], since I use ZNC and get the actual timestamps for each message that I get from its buffer that way. You have capability negotiation [2] at the core of it all, anyway. So even if you end up not liking some of the new features, your client should ideally allow you to just turn them off.

Ennea··on The next Google
To be perfectly honest, I cannot even remember making that change, but also couldn't find any info on whether Firefox or some extension may have done this. I will leave it disabled, however, because its purpose seems to be analytics, and opting out of (at least some of) them this way seems like a good idea.

Since disabling it this way removes the `sendBeacon` function from existence, you should just be prepared to properly handle its absence.

Ennea··on The next Google
Too bad you.com does not work in Firefox with the "beacon" function disabled (beacon.enabled set to false in about:config).
Ennea··on If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it?
you.com does not even load in Firefox with beacon.enabled set to false in about:config.
Ennea··on Ask HN: Firefox connection problems after enabling DoH?
I can confirm that disabling HTTP3 support helps. Thank you for the workaround.

The Git repo does not seem to contain the actual application.
Ennea··on Non-Commercial Licenses Are Non-Free Licenses
I get the arguments and the point of this, I suppose. But I keep asking myself: what does it mean? What conclusion do you draw from it? You're differentiating between free and non-free licenses, but what for?
Ennea··on Show HN: Padka – Make your Zoom sessions more fun and engaging
No clue, sorry. The SVG for the icons seems a bit wonky, though, since it doesn't render a hundred percent correctly inside Inkscape, either.

The six icons below your "try it now" button are broken in Firefox: https://i.imgur.com/jVmm6Vr.png

Regarding the numerical separators: they're for readability, and readability only. They do not change the numbers in any way. 12300 is the same as 123_00 is the same as 1_2_3_0_0. Up to you entirely.
Ennea··on Bunnyhopping from the Programmer's Perspective (2015)
If memory serves me right, this mechanic was in fact initially unintentional. It turned out to be pretty fun, however, and raised the skill ceiling of the game quite a bit. As such, implementing it yourself really doesn't seem like such a bad idea ;)
Ennea··on Gio – write immediate-mode GUI programs in Go
Thank you, that's very helpful! I'll be saving these for later :)
Ennea··on Gio – write immediate-mode GUI programs in Go
As someone who occasionally writes tiny tools with some GUI, how can I test how well they work with accessibility tools?
Ennea··on Show HN: I wrote a free Mac app to OCR any text on screen
This looks super useful. Is there some equivalent for Windows? A quick search didn't yield anything useful.
Ennea··on Diffie-Hellman for the Layman
That was a very nice explanation, thank you. Side notes regarding your blog: The "subscribe to" text towards the bottom is hard to read against its background. Also, the preview of the "What problem does Polymer solve?" article (also towards the bottom) has raw HTML in it.
Ennea··on Microsoft in talks to buy Discord for more than $10B
I cannot confirm either of these claims. Although the former depends on the exact definition of "major", I guess.
Ennea··on We found and fixed a rare race condition in our session handling
It is not. But a ton of sites seem to be inconsistent about it, or it feels that way at least. Some sites I frequent don't log me out for months at a time, and then suddenly they do. And then they do it again a few weeks later. Followed by multiple months of not doing it once more.

I really enjoy the way you write. Good luck with the cancer!

I'm curious: what bugs did you run into? I've started using TST about a week ago and have not encountered any bugs whatsoever.

Which version of Safari are you using? According to caniuse[0], arrow functions are supported in Safari starting with version 10, which is over four years old at this point.

That <date> tag you are using does not exist in the specs. You may want to change that to <time>.

Mind you, Discord's ToS do not specifically mention third party clients at any point. They do say that they can ban your account for whatever reason, however.

As a free alternative to Flash Renamer, PowerRename[0] from the latest PowerToys[1] collection might be worth a look.

The color picker is equally awful.
Ennea··on Show HN: Ambient noise generator for Windows that I give away, coupon “NOISE”
Here's some: only having three different volume settings is bad. The train sample seems repetitive/has obvious cuts. The noise samples are super long and therefore also large in size and can probably be cut down.
Ennea··on Show HN: Ambient noise generator for Windows that I give away, coupon “NOISE”
That said: I checked, and the size is mostly the sound files (which are 312 MB total). I don't mind storing a decent set of high quality ambient sound files.
Ennea··on My chatbot is dead – Why yours should probably be too
Rather, no software re-implementation of a cursor will ever feel as fluid as the "hardware cursor". Might also be related to my screen refresh rate of 120 Hz in this case.
Ennea··on When you tell Chrome to wipe private data it spares Google.com and YouTube
That's very interesting. Personally, I much prefer the Firefox development tools. Mind if I ask what you like about the Chrome ones, compared to Firefox'?
Ennea··on My chatbot is dead – Why yours should probably be too
I'd just like to point out how absolutely terrible that simulated mouse cursor on that site is. Feels very sluggish and weird. Please don't do this.
