Savageman··on MiracleCast – Wifi-Display/Miracast Implementation
I used Miracast with the Microsoft stick to watched movies and it was way better than competitors IMO.
Savageman··on Ask HN: How to recover Facebook account where hacker changed email?
I've also been unable to add my main email address in Facebook because "The account that owns the email address you entered has been disabled.". If I check my emails history, apparently someone named "Kyle" (not me) tried to create/activate an account in 2016 and now I'm prevented to use it forever, if you find a solution, please tell me.
Savageman··on uWebSockets
By curiosity, can I ask you which sharded message broker you are using? (The one "above in the stack")
Savageman··on Django, HTMX and Alpine.js: Modern websites, JavaScript optional
It reminds me a bit of [MooTools Behavior](https://mootools.net/blog/2011/12/20/mootools-behavior) (from 2011!) where interactivity was created by adding tags to HTML, similar to the article!
Savageman··on Microsoft announces Windows 11
I think I like the centering, but I also would like to keep the Windows button on the edge...
Savageman··on Tell HN: Triplebyte ignoring account deletion, unsubscribe requests
FYI, the email address is not properly redacted.
Savageman··on What's so hard about PDF text extraction?
> By looking at the content, understanding what it is talking about and knowing that vegetables are washed before chopping, we can determine that A C B D is the correct order. Determining this algorithmically is a difficult problem.

Sorry, this is a bit off-topic regarding PDF extraction, but it distracted me greatly while reading...

I'm pretty sure the intention was A B C D (cut then wash). Not sure why the author would not use alphabet order for the recipe...

[edit] Sorry, I made it read to a colleague and he mentioned the A B C D annotations were probably not in the original document. This was not clear at all for me while reading, and if they are not included it's indeed hard to find the correct paragraph order.

Savageman··on Disable new Slack WYSIWYG editor with this bookmarklet
Do you still have issues with monospaced and fenced blocks if you refresh Slack?

I tested and it was very buggy when I read the other HN thread this morning (I'm in Europe), but as of right now I can't reproduce the issues.

Savageman··on Mailgun Acquires Mailjet
I had this and the whole account was locked too after adding a "suspicious" one. But the delivery/reception was still working for other domains, only config changes were disabled.

It seems they do that on a TLD basis, for example if you add the domain "spammer.xyz", it will probably lock your account because ".xyz" TLD is considered risky.

They support always fix the problem, but we're always locked a few hours, this is super annoying.

Savageman··on Curl Cookbook
I use it for IMAP, it works great!

I even filed a feature request to support different authorization/authentication (e.g. shared inboxes accessed through a regular user account), and one of the contributor implemented it. Had a great experience :)

Savageman··on How Does Esperanto Sound?
A friend of mine has a started to create a new language fit for European citizen.

It is based on a translator-based computer program and performs a synthesis of European languages. Each word is the result of a democratic choice made by an algorithm, so that it is the closest to that of the majority of European languages.

The website is in French, but there's a paragraph written in Europa (the name of the language) that starts with "Vos have comprendet que haver ambition". I'm really curious how people can understand it without any learning. http://www.europeo.li

They have another website, with video of people speaking and this article about built languages is quite interesting: https://www.europa-lingua.org/en/tour-de-table-des-langues-c...

Savageman··on Show HN: Make your site’s pages instant in one minute
Would it make sense to combine them? Instant turbo links.
Savageman··on How a shampoo bottle is saving young lives
Did you make it worse on purpose by clicking the little "up" arrow that opens the bottom panel? (on my computer, it's collapsed - but I don't know whether it's the default setting or it was remembered from a previous visit).

Though I agree the cookie banner + "free special report" popup + the bottom subscription banner takes an absurd amount of space.

Savageman··on Can Beethoven send takedown requests?
Same experience from me: they run thing really bad.

A TV company came to our office doing a report. They gave us the video, and I uploaded it to YouTube as a private video to share it internally. After a week the private video has maybe 20 views. Months later I receive a copyright claim from the TV network. Their contact email obviously didn't work, and since I'm not a content creator I don't really care about my YouTube channel. So my account ended up being locked/limited during 6 months for a private video that had 0 views since several months...

What a mess.

Savageman··on Show HN: BetterSlack – A Chrome extension to make Slack better
I don't think it's a bug, since they've always supported links in their Web API, both for users and bots. It just happens the Slack client doesn't use that feature.
Savageman··on Premium Account Activity API
Yet they didn't give access to replacements until today.
Savageman··on Premium Account Activity API
I think polling instead of real-time. The timeline has decent rate limits, but I can't understand if the Direct message is rate-limited globally for the app or not?
Savageman··on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy successfully launches
Well they do separate at the same time and fly the same path back to earth so not a coincidence (though it's really satisfying)
Savageman··on It is not possible to detect and block Chrome headless
The most trivial check is using the TCP packet TTL (Time To Live). Windows and Linux doesn't have the same default value so it's "easy" to recognize which one sent a specific packet.

Just look up for "ttl windows vs linux" to find tons of article about it :)

Savageman··on Server-Side I/O Performance: Node vs. PHP vs. Java vs. Go
My best guess would be 7 months ago (~ May 11th 2017), since most comments were made at that time.
Savageman··on The Booming Japanese Rent-A-Friend Business
Yes, I think it would make a really great plot for a Black Mirror episode!
Savageman··on StackOverflow for private teams in beta
Does it include the "Documentation (beta)" feature?
Savageman··on Google.ai
For some reasons, both homepages currently show as <link rel="canonical" href="http://localhost/">
Savageman··on Does a Slack bot to notify customer support is offline exist?
Actually, customer support is one of the main use cases for our bot, MailClark.ai

To answer your questions:

> even better if the bot emails us:

Yes, MailClark can do that! More info here: https://mailclark.ai/help/slack-by-email

> tells the user that we will get back to them in 12 hours?

Not at the moment, but we are currently working on automatic replies.

Hope it helps :)

Savageman··on DeepMind and Blizzard to release StarCraft II as an AI research environment
Either one could work. If the single AI that controls 5 heroes is easier to program, let's imagine that. I have the feeling that it's more complicated than a 1vs1 RTS game, but I don't know why...
Savageman··on DeepMind and Blizzard to release StarCraft II as an AI research environment
That's so cool! I wish they could start doing AI for team based competitive games like League of Legends where meta-play and team decision making is important. Is that too complicated to tackle yet?
Savageman··on H.264 is Magic
I wonder if across a lot of videos, the frequency domain representations look similar and if instead of masking in a circle we could mask with other (pre-determined) shapes to keep more information (this would require decoders to know them, of course). Or maybe this article is too high-level and it's not possible to "shape" the frequencies.
Savageman··on Show HN: Metachat, a news feed for unread Slack messages
Hum. You're right, but I still think you could skip the account creation. Just create the account on the fly when we connect with the first team. Then each added team is linked to the account.
Savageman··on Show HN: Metachat, a news feed for unread Slack messages
Hi. Wanted to test it, needed to create an account and left. If I need to connect my Slack teams after, you will get my name and email anyway, why should I register to your app in addition to already having an account on Slack? (since you build the service for Slack)
Savageman··on CaptionBot by Microsoft
Ohh I got a good one: "I am not really confident, but I think it's a close up of a plane with a blue umbrella."
