ItsHarper··on Codeberg Is Down
Sure, but then you're vulnerable to that going down. The question was about why people can be substantially impacted by relatively brief forge downtime.
ItsHarper··on The end of my AArch64 desktop experiment
To expand on what others have said, aarch64 merely defines the set of instructions that the CPU can perform. That has an impact on how you design processors, but you can still design multiple completely different processor architectures with different performance characteristics that all implement the aarch64 instruction set.
ItsHarper··on Codeberg Is Down
Do you not spend much time writing and discussing issues or reviewing code?
ItsHarper··on XLibre XServer 25.2.0 Released
That's quite a claim. I have zero interest in using or supporting such a project either way, but do you have any evidence for that?
ItsHarper··on Sam Altman's home targeted in second attack
I think you meant condemn, but otherwise, well said.
ItsHarper··on Olympic Committee bars transgender athletes from women’s events
I'm not an athlete, but here's my understanding.

Being on feminine hormones pretty much removes any advantage if you've been on them for a while. There are typically rules about that for (at least) high level competitions. You can't just walk in and state your gender for that kind of thing.

ItsHarper··on Apple Studio Display and Studio Display XDR
The nano-texture matte finish is available as an option
ItsHarper··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
What?
ItsHarper··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
No it's not. Google sold Motorola to Lenovo like a decade ago.
ItsHarper··on The Program 2025 annual review: How much money does an audio drama podcast make?
I'm a Pocket Casts user, and see that it was one you tried.

Pocket Casts lets you select the episode order (as well as do things like group by season). I think it's pretty common to be able to add RSS feeds by putting them in the directory search field, and PC does this as well.

I've had absolutely zero problems using Pocket Casts to add custom Patreon feeds, and to listen to episodes in the other they came out.

ItsHarper··on Problems with D-Bus on the Linux desktop
That's what Android does. Desktop Linux should make this easier.
ItsHarper··on Upcoming Changes to Let's Encrypt Certificates
The problem is that the old owner still has a valid certificate for some period of time.
ItsHarper··on Shai-Hulud compromised a dev machine and raided GitHub org access: a post-mortem
At the end of the article, they talk about how they've since updated to the latest major version of pnpm, which is the one with that change
ItsHarper··on GrapheneOS is the only Android OS providing full security patches
I think they're agreeing with you
ItsHarper··on Feedback doesn't scale
This approach can't inform you that someone in the feedback chain is causing a problem.
ItsHarper··on Experiment: Making TypeScript immutable-by-default
That's opting into immutability, the point of the experiment is having it by default. Plus, that's just the type system preventing you from adding a property. It won't stop you from trying to change the `immutable` field.

I'm genuinely curious, was this AI generated, or just a lack of understanding?

ItsHarper··on Questions for Cloudflare
If you read their previous article about AWS (linked in this one), they specifically call out root cause analysis as a flawed approach.
ItsHarper··on How To Build A Smartwatch: Software
It was Fitbit, but otherwise, yeah
ItsHarper··on How To Build A Smartwatch: Software
I think Eric has more-or-less implied that they will probably make a Pebble Time Round successor (no doubt with worthwhile battery life this time, given how much more the Duo is)
ItsHarper··on Springs and Bounces in Native CSS
Where do you see a Bezier-based spring example? I think the one in the section you quoted is just to show what a spring animation looks like, so you know what you're missing by sticking to Bezier curves.

I'm on my phone right now, so I can't actually verify how the one in that section is implemented.

ItsHarper··on Radiant Computer
They're still at the compiler stage. LLM features and hardware seem far enough away that it's reasonable to wait to evaluate if that combination is actually practical.

ItsHarper··on Radiant Computer
They've written an R' compiler in C, and ported its order and parser to be self-hosted, with source code for those included in blog posts.

I'm not a fan of all the LLM and image generator usage either, though.

ItsHarper··on Sufficiently Smart Compiler
And on my phone, it's wider than my screen. Hardcoding a width is not the move.
ItsHarper··on Paris had a moving sidewalk in 1900, and a Thomas Edison film captured it (2020)
I believe it's to allow room for the handrail belt to wear down, which brings its speed closer to the stairs until it starts de-syncing in the opposite direction. If it started perfectly, you'd have to replace the belt more frequently to maintain the same level of tolerance.
ItsHarper··on NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown
This comment is a lot. Yikes.
ItsHarper··on Immutable releases are now generally available on GitHub
Anyone with the appropriate perms could replace binaries uploaded to the release at will. You could also change which commit a release's tag pointed to by deleting and re-creating the release (the link would end up the same since it just references the tag).
ItsHarper··on HTTPS by default
I don't know your business, but I would never consider using such a feature that didn't support HTTPS all the way through as a business customer. It's not like this can't be done at scale (all custom domains served by Netlify use Let's Encrypt certs, for example).
ItsHarper··on Google Play Store Stops Requiring the Use of Google Play Billing in the US
It's almost like well-designed regulation can provide exactly the benefits it's intended to. This says that you can now use whatever form of in-app payments you want, or link to alternative payment methods outside of the app.
ItsHarper··on Do not accept terms and conditions
I mean, the CFAA being discussed is a notoriously broad law that's far too easy to run afoul of without realizing it.It's totally possible a court could seem that illegal.
