IA21··on Ask HN: Where can I live off 1k USD per month?
> If you want the best food, go to Karachi.

Come on man, don't mislead others like this. Everyone here knows you go to Lahore for good food :)

IA21··on Why can an ad break the Windows 11 desktop and taskbar?
The issue about verification still remains. We have no way of knowing if these haven't been tampered with as well. If a malicious actor is tampering with ISOs on a large scale, they will make sure their tampered copies have the most seeds and their fake checksum lists will be at the top of search results.

IA21··on Ask HN: How to learn how to sell?

IA21··on Stack on a Budget – A collection of services with free tiers
> There is more to the web than crud.

not really. 90% of people using the cheapest vps are going to host wordpress or crud apps on there, not their video streaming startup that competes with youtube.

IA21··on FFMPEG from Zero to Hero
Its the syntax, not the idea that I forget. I use it rarely which is why I have to relearn from some cheat sheet what each symbol means.

> The Auditors of the State of California

I didn't look at the page header, only the domain (.ca.gov) and skimmed the illustrations and was wondering why a Canadian govt body is researching an American university. I didn't know California had its own domain.

IA21··on The cost of 1GB of mobile data in 228 countries (Feb 2020)

I bet no one at Facebook can say that

IA21··on How to Hire
> But that really goes for any language.

It goes so much more for php than any other language. PHP used to be so popular and even now with JS and other languages on top, there's still so many legacy php apps out there for maintenance. I deal with them regularly and most of them are really bad.

And no, I'm not shitting on the language. It's a decent language nowadays.
