Malidir··on Mozilla fixes Firefox zero-day actively exploited in attacks
Would Rust and it's memory safety stuff have prevented this?

Depends on how it is measured as to whether it is a success.

Those deemed essential get exceptions!

> but then I realized I had too much of my social life tied up in my job.

Yup! Remote workers need to realise this, and build up a local social life.

Malidir··on Ask HN: How do you sync ongoing browser work between desktop and laptop?
Even better if you have a modern monitor with a built in hub and USB-C to Thunderbolt.

Connect stuff to monitor, plug in a single usb-c to laptop and done.

Malidir··on Who uses Accept-Language header?
It's not a high priority task and is in the backlog gathering dust ;)
Malidir··on Japan gives $2.4B in incentives to Toyota and more for EV battery making
Lexus would for example - far more reliable and engineered than the European premium ones but, in my opinon, have never looked the part. Even the Lexus performance coupe's.

Compare Volvo suv designs to lexus!

Malidir··on Ask HN: Should I put my startup on my resume?
Add it, but don't mention you have 1200 users.

Essentially put yourself in the hiring managers shoes and say 'what's in it for him/his company/the role being done well'.

Not allies, sales competitors.

It's not of 'critical' nationally strategic importance is it?

Malidir··on Japan gives $2.4B in incentives to Toyota and more for EV battery making
All countries are doing the same. Tesla got lots of help in the US for example.

Why fatal? They could pursue research in both.

Toyota and Nissan both launched elextric and hybrids very early. E.g. Prius, Leaf.

$2.4bn over 4 companies + panasonic and 12 projects isn't a huge amount, relatively speaking. And I imagine Hydrogen is also still being pushed.

EVERYONE knew China was coming, it was long clear that China saw the changeover from ICE to EV as an opportunity to become a dominant player.

Chinese companies are setting up local brands for different countries: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74jgk1kw87o and making cars that appeal to western tastes.

Japan's main problem is that they are stubborn - the Koreans and Chinese bought in european designers and made cars look to Western tastes. Japanese cars look like Japanese cars.

Malidir··on Ask HN: Security risks when buying mini-PCs/PCs from unknown vendors?
Did they win the lottery?
Malidir··on Ask HN: Is HN Still Relevant? Why or Why Not?
"And what's the best way to make use of this space?"

Read it once a day whilst you are in a meeting that you have nothing/not much to contribute to or takeaway from ;)

Malidir··on Show HN: I'm making an AI scraper called FetchFox
why would these non technical people even use a tool when they can go to a internet connected llm and say 'go to this site and get this info'

e.g. Mr John Smith is a journalist, find his ten most recent articles via locating his personal website, news sites and social media.

so wondering if your tool will be obsolete in a years time?

Malidir··on Show HN: I'm making an AI scraper called FetchFox
Indeed!
Malidir··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been more outsourcing of tech jobs to Japan?
Where is that statistic from that only 31% use the internet?

As in many countries that are similar, they may now have a laptop/pc but will often have a cheap android phone.

Malidir··on Zuckerberg claims regret on caving to White House pressure on content
Came across a tiktok vid where a comentator was saying that perhaps all the data Zuckerberg has access to is showing a clear Trump win.

And so he is now attacking Biden strategically to build relations with Trump.

But then the income would drop and his yacht may be found capsized!!
Malidir··on Zuckerberg claims regret on caving to White House pressure on content
Neither, he is getting onto the bandwagon that he (and his well paid pr team) know is populist.

He is a billionaire who is hated, and now has changed his image entirely. Following in Elon's path.

People tend not to change their colours at a later age, and he is a cutthroat business guy.

Lots of ongoing commentary over the years that he really wants to be President.

Malidir··on Zuckerberg claims regret on caving to White House pressure on content
In Pavel's interview with Tucker Carlson, he mentions how he (VK) met with Zuckerberg, and he told them new features they were planning. And Zuck nicked them all.

Zuck is on a major PR campaign drive, I would not trust a word he says.

Malidir··on Facebook Helped the FBI Exploit Vulnerability in a Secure Linux Distro (2020)
As said, this is a very old article that has done the rounds on all the forums and social before.

All the major governments and the companies are known to have zero day exploits saved up for a rainy day.

Hence why countries like China ban Windows from government staff, and why USA ban Huwaei/hikvision etc in kind.

Malidir··on Ask HN: Which alternative to Python for personnal use would you recommend?
Python has lots of libraries, and is known as the 'second best language for everything' so suck it up and learn a bit to complement your PHP. You don't need to learn it comprehensively- just a bit. (Alternatives to python are c# or Java).

Then I woudl say invest the time to learn Rust, as a long term strategy.

Malidir··on Tell HN: Vercel flags accounts using protonmail
More a case that proton and other providers will strip the analytic trackers from marketing emails?
Malidir··on Tell HN: Vercel flags accounts using protonmail
1. Poor of Vercel to block Proton. 2. Ditch Vercel. 3. Always wise to buy your own domain and then add that to your mail provider, so you are not locked in.
Malidir··on X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders
Some judiciaries are just better at remaining undetected...
Malidir··on How do you follow news on tech and stay upto date?
sign up to various newsletters with work email add rss feeds to work outlook (outlook has it built in)

I find that by using work email not personal, more likely to look at it.
