LukaD··on Deno 1.4
I would even say it's a political one.
LukaD··on Deno 1.4
When people say they don't want tech companies/organisations to be political they're actually bummed out that those political views don't align with they're own.
LukaD··on Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack
It was not a hack. It was just a lot of doxxing. There was really nothing impressive about it.
LukaD··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
The new layout is so bad I no longer click on Github links...
LukaD··on Don't set the language of your website based on user location
Yeah, that's incredibly annoying. So frustrating when you're coming to a discourse thread from a google search. I tend to avoid discourse forums because of that.
LukaD··on Don't set the language of your website based on user location
I'm willing to bet there is no modern browser that does this.
LukaD··on Don't set the language of your website based on user location
> Even the language selection was hidden in a sub-sub-sub menu somewhere, which took some digging.

I think it was hidden in the accessibility menu... This made me absolutely furious when I couldn't figure out how to change the game's language to the one that my Windows installation is using.

LukaD··on Dockerizing a Ruby on Rails Application
Instead of compiling assets externally, you could do it in a multi stage docker build.
LukaD··on Switching from Chrome to Firefox
The absolute worst default setting for me is smooth scrolling enabled.
LukaD··on Chicken Dots
Interesting, this site doesn't even support TLS 1.1 and Firefox refuses to open it.
LukaD··on A foundation course in reading German
You’re right, they are pronounced the same. What I was actually thinking about was the different pronunciations of the vowel before the ss/ß. In the word “Schoß” for example the ß tells you the the vowel is long and not short as it would be in the word “schoss”.

So what I’m trying to say is that s/ss/ß have distinct use cases which follow consistent rules.

LukaD··on A foundation course in reading German
How is it inconsistent? S, ss and ß all have distinct pronunciations.
LukaD··on Adventures Building a Self-Driving RC Car
Your page can't be scrolled with the keyboard and it's missing the native scrollbar. You should remove those overflow rules from the body and .content div.
LukaD··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 as an airplay receiver for music streaming at home. The software is called shairport-sync and is open source. My other Raspberry Pi 3 is a Retropie retro gaming console.
LukaD··on Rust Koans (2015)
Another practical difference is that you can implement multiple traits for a given struct which require a method with the same name and same/different signature. The compiler always knows which trait implementation the code is calling so the names implementations don't clash.

If you don't want to tip, maybe just don't tip then?
LukaD··on Google Will Eat Itself (2005)
I don't care if it's dangerous. It's annoying and makes me feel uneasy. Had to block it with ublock.
LukaD··on You probably don’t need input type=“number”
For crying out loud, input type="number" is fine. Please don't stop using it. The problem here is a bad input device.
LukaD··on To lure young talent, banks mimic tech workspaces
> Work doesn't need to be Disneyland.

Why not? I spend a lot of time at my workspace, so it's only natural for me to choose a nice one.

LukaD··on WireGuard for MacOS
I had some weird issues with DNS using the iOS app. It worked when I set 8.8.8.8 as my DNS in the app but that's not a real solution.
LukaD··on Why can’t a bot tick the 'I'm not a robot' box?
I use chrome with Privacy Badger + uBlock Origin and I have to solve the CAPTCHAs every single fucking time. I even have to solve them multiple times. At this point I just leave a page if they have one of those captchas.
LukaD··on Firing Frankness
Why is this getting downvoted? Can you please explain why you disagree with this statement?
LukaD··on Convert a Bird Scooter to a personal one with $32 kit
> dumping them anywhere they please

Like cars? That doesn't seem to bother anyone.

LukaD··on Still in love with Rust
The comment about "no race conditions" is not accurate. Rust guarantees an absence of data races which are not the same as race conditions.

LukaD··on Oceans 'soaking up more heat than estimated'
I think if every single person on Earth went vegan it would have a significant impact. It would force the meat industry to change.
LukaD··on EU to stop changing the clocks in 2019
I already am starting work pretty early. I’m usually earlier in the office than most my colleagues. Starting work even earlier ist not really practical for me.
LukaD··on EU to stop changing the clocks in 2019
I think this is a non issue. I’m just happy that I will be able enjoy more time after work while it’s not dark yet.
LukaD··on Where Vim Came From
I've been using evil-mode for a few years and I'm also very happy with it. It's the only vim emulation I've seen so far that implements "g?" (rot13). That's how compatible this mode is.
LukaD··on Scooters littering US city streets alarm: 'Unlock me or I'll call the police'
> If you leave them outside of a designated parking spot, sure.

What if designate about a third of the city's public space as scooter parking spots? Would that be ok?

To me all the cars that fill my city, standing around being useless 90% of the time, are nothing but litter.

LukaD··on Scooters littering US city streets alarm: 'Unlock me or I'll call the police'
Where's the outcry over cars littering the city?
