baxuz··on Jelly Sheet
Now i want those jelly candies in plastic blisters.
baxuz··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
Touchscreens on vertical screens are ridiculous.

Especially if they don't even have stylus support

baxuz··on Plex laid off the whole player team
So, what's the go-to client for Nvidia Shield Pro now? I've tried Jellyfin and it has a lot of trouble with fancy anime subtitles (forgot the extension)
baxuz··on US threatens Europe over Starlink restrictions
Remind me, which starship?
baxuz··on Keyboard differences between Windows and Macs
Been using this layout for the past 12 years:

baxuz··on Keyboard differences between Windows and Macs
Dunno. I prefer the mod+arrow keys or terminal shortcuts to 4 new keys
baxuz··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
There's also no virtualized list, which has been the defacto standard for the past 20 years in every other platform.

This forces devs to use userland hacks which break accessibility and lower performance.

baxuz··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
Because "the platform" more often than not, sucks ass. Web components are ass. Writing vanilla HTML is ass. Writing vanilla JS is ass. Vanilla CSS is ass (albeit getting better). DOM primitives are ass, as are the DOM APIs.

Is the solution to throw more React + Tailwind slop at the problem? Absolutely not. The solution is to _KNOW_ the platform and pick the best tools suited for each problem instead of chasing some form of academic purity.

baxuz··on If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you're not managing quality right
So, I'm holding the AI wrong is what you're telling me
baxuz··on I'm Tired of the AI Tone
I'm sad that the em dash has been appropriated by clankers. It was a part of my tone, which I used often in writing.
baxuz··on Microsoft agentically ports Copilot runtime to Rust for $120K
The fuck does "agentically" mean
baxuz··on Anecdotally, programmers dislike "reduce"
Nah. Reduce is less performant and less readable than a regular loop. In my anecdotal experience, only people who want to appear smart and minimize the number of characters prefer reduce.
baxuz··on Show HN: Bodily Oddities
Sorry, AI slop
baxuz··on iPhone Duo
I'd like to have one of these devices once the prices get a bit more normal. I remember paying 400€ for an iPhone 4 when it came out, a flagship phone at the time by all metrics. Adjusted for inflation, that's about 600€.

Flagship prices have now reached the 1000€ mark, with marginal upgrades, and in many cases actual downgrades.

There is no world in which I can justify paying 2x-4x the flagship price for a device fulfilling a fundamentally similar purpose.

For a different comparison, a 14" MacBook Pro costs that much.

baxuz··on The browser's main thread is expensive
There's an RFC or two to spawn threads so I'm looking forward to that. The current way of workers + messages is tedious as hell.
baxuz··on Fastpotify
Fastslopify
baxuz··on Xcancel and Nitter have been taken down
It's incredible how this comment is downvoted for stating facts
baxuz··on How Universities Should Prepare Founders
The fuck is a founder
baxuz··on Windows brings out the Rorschach test in everyone (2003)
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN
baxuz··on 2D Gaussian Splatting for Bézier Spline Line Art Vectorization
This is great stuff. Gaussian splatting is really proving to be a great format, even an intermediate one.
baxuz··on Glue bonds to nonstick surfaces and wipes clean with ethanol
This might be very useful for bonding PTFE and aluminium on cookware if it ends up being food safe.
baxuz··on Five US tech giants' hidden debts soar to $1.65T on opaque AI funding
Time to update https://isaiprofitable.com/
baxuz··on Jellyfin founder Andrew leaves team
The media player app for android set top boxes like nvidia shield handles different subtitle formats and advanced settings much better than the jellyfin one, especially for anime subs.
baxuz··on Apple unveils new accessibility features
Now we know why the new AirPods will have cameras!
baxuz··on Nobody Pushed Back: Why Engineers Stay Silent Until It's Too Late
LLM written slop
baxuz··on The AI water issue is fake
I don't engage with the "firehose of falsehood" types of articles as it's a losing battle. This guy's is a high school teacher whose side-gig is churning out pro-AI content for validation. I simply disregard the entire article since I know the author's MO, and I inform other HN members of it.

baxuz··on AI slop is killing online communities
Same as with NFC credit cards and similar auth mechanisms. You need hardware and OS-backed encryption that is tamper-proof.
baxuz··on AI slop is killing online communities
I enabled hiding my posts because I kept getting harrassed and even doxxed.
