adamhearn··on Shoelace 2.0 release: UI toolkit that works with all frameworks or none at all
you just don’t understand what it ️ means to ️ develop for the ️ web.
adamhearn··on How to track and display profile views on GitHub
I find it saves tons of time and data as well. The emails are very condensed without (remote) images.
adamhearn··on iOS14 reveals that TikTok may snoop clipboard contents every few keystrokes
You mean so you can snoop from the user without being detected?
adamhearn··on Initial Covid-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported
This is completely anecdotal, but my good friend’s brother is an ER doctor. He said the hospital required them to label the cause of death for all patients in the hospital as covid if there was as much as one symptom.

I don’t want to downplay the sadness of the deaths, but I think it is a bit foolish for us to base our number of deaths of off untested patients...

adamhearn··on Blu-ray player keeps cycling on/off whenever plugged in
That’s obviously a straw man argument. It’s the same reason you don’t connect a windows XP embedded system to the internet.

The embedded system may function excellently at its task, but most hardware manufacturers are not up to the task to providing long term support.

adamhearn··on Big Tech is taking our freedom – How Apple is making developers pay ransom money
Classic sensationalized title about apple. Yes this is a problem, but ransom isn’t the right analogy here. Apple’s payment solution is both an outdated and very apple way of doing things.
adamhearn··on Popular Pirate Sites Slowly “Disappear” from Google’s Top Search Results
Google has shown time and time again that it is not in the search business, but the ad business.
adamhearn··on Ask HN: Is Signal still a good app to use for encrypted messaging?
The biggest issue with signal is the forced reveal of your phone number. There are several good alternatives. Wickr and session come to mind.
adamhearn··on Building a Gaming PC for 100$: Is It Possible?
If that is your old PC, just buy a used RX580 for $100 or so and call it a day.
adamhearn··on Ask HN: Why is Bitcoin crashing massively right now?
This large of a move in the BTC market recently is much more uncommon.
adamhearn··on Scientists find life in dead brain cells
This is really bad. I don’t love cloudflare, but I do use their dns. This makes me want to support them with my business and makes me wish I could take back my archive donations...
adamhearn··on What would you do if you lost your Google account?
What's the point of removing old addresses? I mean I'm all for privacy, but forward all your old accounts to one funnel account and ensure you never lose that data.
adamhearn··on New Air Force One instruction manuals cost $84M
I think their point was that Boeing might be charging a premium as they will no longer service the plane.

However, I don't think this is the case, the cost probably has to do more with the specificity and overall data included.

adamhearn··on Show HN: SimplYHN a Poorly Written JQuery and JavaScript Hacker News Web Client
Hello! My Name is Adam. I wrote this web client for a programming class that I am in, but also because I waste too much time on HN. The goal was initially to create a client that reduced consumption, but this will most likely increase my consumption. The code is quite spaghetti as of now, but I am not sure if I will continue development. I would like to implement all the features of the HN website, along with a more modern UI. I guess the big downside is the fact that it all runs off of JS, but there is no getting around that unless I host it myself.
adamhearn··on Dracula Pro
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for payment for a product you make.

Things cost money. If it’s too expensive for your taste, make your own theme or choose one of the many other free open source themes.

I personal will not be buying this theme, but I see why he does sell something he created.
