KayL··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
one of my account is banned without any reason. I don't even use OpenClaw.
KayL··on Ask HN: Where After WordPress?
No. Drupal is only suitable if an organization requires open source. To develop a fully customized site still saves more time than using Drupal. And your maintenance path will be much simpler.
KayL··on WordPress Alternatives
100% TRUE.

Also, a simple and workable e-cart

I tried many alternatives. Their upgrade path is painful.

KayL··on WordPress Alternatives
WP plugins are very stable. It's their advantage.
KayL··on Did we lose our way in making efficient software?
Wait, is it true? Did you encounter a bug? or browser extensions issues? It may not be as efficient as native, but I downloaded some sample files and repeated them until hit Google Docs limits. It is about 450 pages with some images. It is smooth and usable. There's zero delay. (and only 1000MB ram usage with many broswer extensions enabled. I think it's fair...)
KayL··on EVGA power supply kills 22TB of customer storage then denies responsibility
I also have 5 HDDs fried because the PINs problem..SAD! I wonder why there're no standard for these cables..

also, I wish the EU / GOV would take action to ask HDD companies to provide affordable, repairable services for these PCB problems.

KayL··on WebKit Supports Nested CSS
I wonder if any editor (vscode or plugin) support nested search soon...
KayL··on [dead]
totally waste my time to read it. I opened your company site and found 4 cookies and no cookies popup. So the trick is no cookies popup even you have cookies.
KayL··on Why is every podcast sponsored by a VPN company?
Why? "sponsored by VPN" is the most common ad platform they can sign it up themsevles and have a good returns. And usually the new sign up have 80~100% cashback for the first time...
KayL··on Tell HN: Twitter is growing increasingly unusable without an account
Last time I tried to create an annoymous account ,they asked for tel verification. (not exactly when you sign it up but after a few day)
KayL··on Ask HN: What browser extensions are a must-have in 2021?
uBlock has a cookie list for consent banners
KayL··on Apple announces Self Service Repair
It's good. Last time I took my macbook to their bar. I want to repair a stick key but they requested me to replace the whole bottom becasue they saw some water overthere. The final bill is about $800 USD.
KayL··on RFC: Make NPM install scripts opt-in
default or not, you still run it... I doubt regular developers will review the whole script before run it.

how many Linux users copy&paste the command from random webpages without doubt? It's 100% opt-in. So it won't help at all.

KayL··on Dummy display for Apple Silicon Macs to achieve custom resolutions
Just realize how simple is it with the built in VNC. But it just show a DOT for mouse cursor :s And I tried "chrome remote desktop", also good quailty text. But both causing cpu hogging.
KayL··on Dummy display for Apple Silicon Macs to achieve custom resolutions
What app do you used for remote work? I've tried teamviewer / anydesk, but the text always blurry.

(I have 4k screen and need to scale up the text size to 2560*1440. Then I found these app only take the 2560 screen to remote)

KayL··on Dummy display for Apple Silicon Macs to achieve custom resolutions
I wonder if any macOS app able to do scaling and adding black border around the screen like what "nvidia scale resolution" does in Windows.

My monitor have light leakages issues. In Windows, I scale it down and use black tap covered all 4 edges. It looks like a normal screen. :)

When I use it as macOS external, I have to guess the top menu position :p

KayL··on Apple MacBook Pro 14 and 16 Review: Return to Form
I saw "Adobe Premiere Pro" benchmark everywhere for cross-platform. But I wonder if their output video quality is the same (when GPU/hardware encode enabled, they using diff codec)? And in the above benchmark, is it comparing GPU accelerated M1 Max to non-GPU enabled PC (even they have a RTX)? Look at the chart, 3070 is slower than 3060. It's non-sense.

I watched a youtube video before, their M1 Max is twice faster than RTX 3090 machine on their Premiere test. What makes the diff :s

KayL··on TagSpaces: Organize Your Files with Tags
Not bad. But I can imagine that it will be more powerful to make a better file explorer (icon / thumbnail view) & tagging extension to VSCode
KayL··on Windows Package Manager 1.1
Does the repo block installer to sideload ad-like software?
KayL··on The M1 iPad Pro Cameras
Any side-by-side comparison? I owned 2020 and the camera is crap!
KayL··on FileZilla now contains adware if you download from the official homepage
wish Commander view add `ADDRESS` bar for quick dir changes.
KayL··on Switching to Windows
PeaZip has many good features, eg smart new folder. But the UI is pretty slow.
KayL··on Whitehouse.gov Chooses WordPress, Again
Even IE6, that's no security problems on a well-made & trusted website. And a website doesn't support IE6 can't prevent the attacts usually (eg. XSS)

> effort

this simple theme can code in ONE day.

KayL··on Whitehouse.gov Chooses WordPress, Again
Add feature to WP should be easier than Drupal. In WP, you only write pure PHP. (Lack of APIs for common elements) But in Drupal, mostly you have to interact with Drupal APIs.
KayL··on Whitehouse.gov Chooses WordPress, Again
I'm surprised they dropped the IE supports. (It's failed on my testing, and the CSS syntax they used shown they never think about it.) For their 2% rules, they shouldn't drop the minors. https://github.com/uswds/uswds/issues/3877

This is a super clean and simple feature website. They could offer supports very widely, and the cost won't be high! (I'm a web developer)

KayL··on Big Sur 11.1 External Display Issues
My MacMini 2018 has monitor wake up problems over 2 years. I have to restart it many times to boot it up everyday (Let MacMini reset settings)
KayL··on Scrollbar Blindness
WSL2 has no built-in background services. That's a huge issue for me. And I don't have 100% confidence in it. It has many little bugs on each builds.

Why do you miss Finder? Search feature? Preview.app? Opposite to you, I never like it.

KayL··on Scrollbar Blindness
A lot of developers I worked with only using their MacBook & iPhone to do tests. Many sites do not fully responsive also. For example, the github.com only support 1280px width and above. Below that, padding & buttons rendered incorrectly.

And I think this is a trend in the open-source that developers reject Windows patches, or never really try to fix the bugs.

Now a lot of tools are only designed for MacOS first. Linux is extra because it's easy to migrate. For example, Facebook Watchman. It's about 5 years but still unstable for Windows I think.

And many web tools, even Android development, I found it's no errors in MacOS but have to fix the config or do extra yourself to get it to work properly.

KayL··on Cutlet: A Japanese to Romaji Converter in Python
Recently, working on a tool and find it difficult to implement `fugashi` (the engine behind this tool) to work with `deplacy`.
