Pr0ject217··on Show HN: A new search engine UX I've been working on in my free time
Good job!

It would be cool to be able to sort results descending by date.

Pr0ject217··on Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
> "Letting a deeply insecure messaging protocol have a place in the Signal interface is inconsistent with our values and with what people expect when they open Signal"

> "We’ve heard repeatedly from people who’ve been hit with high messaging fees after assuming that the SMS messages they were sending were Signal messages"

> "We can only do so much on the design side to prevent such misunderstandings"

It sounds like they are trying to protect users from themselves.

Pr0ject217··on The hackers keeping you safe online
Oh, but they are going to protect everyone by creating their own built-in VPN [0] to "protect your online activity no matter what app or web browser you use." /s

Pr0ject217··on Deep Learning Could Bring the Concert Experience Home
It depends on what music you are talking about. One of the reasons that people attend nightclubs that play electronic music is to feel the low-end (literally). Most people will never have the space or means to equip their home with that kind of equipment and play at that volume. Certain genres of electronic music are specifically produced and mixed for big sound systems.

However, the article tries to sell the fact that live music is more 'accurate' or 'precise':

> At such an event, we are in a natural sound field and can readily perceive that the sounds of different instruments come from different locations, even when the sound field is criss-crossed with mixed sound from multiple instruments. There’s a reason why people pay considerable sums to hear live music: It is more enjoyable, exciting, and can generate a bigger emotional impact.

Which is an odd claim and one that I will disagree with.

Pr0ject217··on Introducing Svelte, and Comparing Svelte with React and Vue (2021)
> And I'd imagine that most folks who are advocating for Svelte never had to build up a startup before.

>Svelte is a great choice for personal projects, but extremely impractical for a startup.

> What about the hiring pool?

> Svelte for the web client is fine, but now you have to manage a different team for the mobile client.

These are interesting assertions and run contrary to my experience. I work for a successful startup and our front-end team uses Svelte. We've had nothing but success. We run a production-grade mobile app (Cordova) on old low-powered client-provided devices including RF guns (Android 5 to 9) with multiple thousands of concurrent users in stores/logistics warehouses, and a web app running on desktop (Chrome/Firefox/Safari). And, every front-end developer we have (including myself) learned Svelte on-the-job within a few weeks.

Thanks!
Pr0ject217··on Show HN: I've created a website for creating art with stable-diffusion
Interesting. The thing that catches my attention most in the callout is 'print to canvas'. Rather than providing compute resources for the user to generate images, you could instead allow them to upload a pre-generated image and handle printing it to a canvas for them.

Pr0ject217··on Ask HN: Easing wife onto Linux laptop How to?
I set my wife up with vanilla Ubuntu and paired it with Microsoft Office 365 which she accesses from the browser. She's been using it for over a year with no complaints. I've had to intervene once when the wifi driver updated and broke her wifi, but other than that, she's had no issues.
Pr0ject217··on Plink: Create epic music together with friends and strangers
Super cool!

It would also be interesting if you could upload samples. And, play the role of the team's mixer by adjusting the relative balances of each lane in real-time, and find a space for each element using EQ/panning/delay/reverb.

Pr0ject217··on The coming tsunami of fakery
Ouch. I do agree, though.

Haha, I'm not a bot.

Edit: I'll shamefully admit that I impulsively posted a comment to share my love for HN without actually reading the article...

Pr0ject217··on Why do some humans love chili peppers?
I love spicy food, but the older that I get, the more my body (stomach/digestive system) does not agree with it. It's an unfortunate state of affairs.

HN is the most 'alive' part of the internet that I'm aware of. I'm grateful for HN.

Pr0ject217··on I don’t have notifications enabled, nowhere and never
I follow a slightly relaxed version of yours.

- One social media app: Reddit

- One chat/call app: Signal.

- Notifications for every app, except Signal, are disabled

- Do Not Disturb from 7PM-8AM with one exception: my wife's phone number

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of things have you made talk to each other that weren't originally designed to talk to each other?

As a late-bloomer programmer who hasn't yet found a 'niche' to love, I have a genuine question for those who are passionate about network programming.

What attracts you to network programming?

Thank you.

Pr0ject217··on Ask HN: How have you deGoogled your life?
GrapheneOS! It's an amazing OS. The transition was quick and seamless and I was surprised that had to make zero sacrifices, because it allows you to create separate profiles. I have one profile with a Google Play Services sandbox, which the OS provides as a one-click install. It's useful to run banking/ride-sharing apps, etc. It's very quick to transition between profiles.
