Gabrys1··on Why Companies Don't Fix Bugs
I've done exactly that as head of engineering. Works great!
Gabrys1··on Plain – a web framework for building products with Python
For a web framework for building in Python, use webpy:

“Django lets you write web apps in Django. TurboGears lets you write web apps in TurboGears. Web.py lets you write web apps in Python.”

Gabrys1··on PayPal honey extension has again "featured" flag in Chrome web store
I think I watched a video that showed the case when the user was indeed better off NOT using the extension. If you followed an affiliate link that came with a discount for a product that Honey didn't have one for they would still remove the affiliation, thus making you lose money.
Gabrys1··on Ask HN: How did the internet discover my subdomain?

So my guess is reverse DNS

Gabrys1··on In Colorado, a marriage of solar energy and farming
Make your mind! Is it Kominek or Komenik? Mistyping your main character name 13 or 19 times (out of 32 mentions total) doesn't seem nice...
Gabrys1··on PHP 8.4
Why would you write such code though? If you want to store an underlying properly, use a differently named (and private) one:

public string $countryCode { set (string $countryCode) { $this->_countryCode = strtoupper($countryCode); $this->country = nameCountry($this->_countryCode); }

Gabrys1··on Six inane arguments about EVs and how to handle them at the dinner table
But self driving has almost nothing to do with EVs. One could build all interconnected self-driving cars without all of them being EVs...
Gabrys1··on Six inane arguments about EVs and how to handle them at the dinner table
The escape quickly argument is a good one to challenge. You'd be better off with a full tank of gas, and it's the same with EV, charge to 100%. All good, but I can pump my car to 100% in 5 minutes (plus 10 minutes drive to a gas station and back) and I simply can't do it with an EV. Either you're slow charging at home for hours, or driving 10-20 minutes to the DC charger to spend even more minutes charging...
Gabrys1··on Git-absorb: Git commit –fixup, but automatic
Exactly this
Gabrys1··on Air Con: $1697 for an on/off switch
I don't think they'll care about this. Probably only 1% of their customers are capable of "hacking" this. As long as the tablet replace is cheaper than getting a new AC unit from another company it's fine for them.
Gabrys1··on Air Con: $1697 for an on/off switch
This reads similarly to how with certain medical insurance you only pay a flat $5 (instead of the full price of $25+) for common meds that you can get for $1.50 outside of insurance...
Gabrys1··on WinBtrfs – an open-source btrfs driver for Windows
What happens if the very important directory you copied 11 times (just to be sure) ends up producing the same block and doesn't indeed get duplicated as you expected? And now, that block gets corrupted...
Gabrys1··on Nanos – A Unikernel
Might be due to not having a shell inside the "container" severely limits the use of your previously-acquired observability and debugging skills.
Gabrys1··on Vehicle brakes produce charged particles that may harm public health: study
There's probably more tyre pollution from EVs to be fair.
Gabrys1··on Vehicle brakes produce charged particles that may harm public health: study
> The new study reveals a problem that may grow as electric cars become more and more common over the next several decades.

EVs produce way less brake dust because manufacturers and drivers are obsessed with regenerative braking.

Gabrys1··on Cloning a Laptop over NVMe TCP
I usually set up an initial distro and then copy over my /home. Later, I just need to install the debs I'm missing, but this has the benefit of not installing stuff I don't need anymore.

That said, I didn't know you could export NVMe over TCP like that, so still a nice read!

Anyone thought otherwise?

Gabrys1··on Show HN: TLD Squatting
TLDs being a suffix, XYZ make more sense to me than ABC.

abc.xyz is a nice play on this.

Gabrys1··on Pixel owners report problems after installing January 2024 Google Play update
LineageOS followes the Android versions. There's a LineageOS 20 for Android X, but you can use LineageOS 19 if you want to stay on X-1. It usually takes a few months after Android release for LineageOS to catch up.
Gabrys1··on Hold on there: WPA3 connections fail after 11 hours
The same was the case in that Asus router. I just wish every AP had that setting
Gabrys1··on In loving memory of square checkbox
Tabs in Gedit are the same. Whenever I have two text files open, I always understand the tab bar wrong: the item I read as active is inactive and vice-versa. All becuase they doing follow the traditional tab design and use some sort of pills instead.
Gabrys1··on Hold on there: WPA3 connections fail after 11 hours
I wish more hardware had this setting exposed.

My wifi router had a bug that was eventually fixed, but before that I would need to reboot it every hour. That's a simple workaround - if only there was a setting for that.

Don't run Google's Android. I've been on Lineage OS for years now and it's awesomely stable.
Gabrys1··on Lossy CSS compression for fun and loss (or profit)
> The program only works on style rules (which make up the majority of a typical CSS). It leaves the non-style rules unchanged.

Each electron app is like that
Gabrys1··on Oasis – a small, statically-linked Linux system
I guess each of the copies of libc can be optimized away and only the functions the specific binary calls will be left (and the compiler should be allowed to optimize past the library boundary), so maybe this balances the issues a bit.

Not that I really know anything about it, ask jart

Gabrys1··on Only 90s Web Developers Remember This (2014)
> Have you ever shoved a <blink> into a <marquee> tag? Pixar gets all the accolades today, but in the 90s this was a serious feat of computer animation

Wrong. Marquee only worked in IE, but blink only worked in non-IE, so by embedding one in the other you simply had an attention grabbing element that either blinked or slides.
