bool3max··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
My blog is up at https://bool3max.win

As of right now most the articles I wrote are about fairly basic programming topics. I find that articulating explanations of certain concepts and cementing them in the form of a blog post gives me a very specific peace of mind.

bool3max··on Millions of Americans retired early. Now they want to work again
He looks way older than 65 though.
bool3max··on Yet Another GitHub Profile Generator
Ok?
bool3max··on Auto dealer Napleton fined $10M for illegal fees and discrimination
Lmao
bool3max··on Difftastic: A diff that understands syntax
Should've named that repo "phdiff".
bool3max··on Cross-Compiling Rust for RISC-V
That's very interesting, thanks for this writeup.
bool3max··on H.264 is Magic (2016)
That was an example, intended for humans. It is much quicker to say "10 tosses, all heads", than it is to say "HHHHHHHHHH".

A computer example might explain that it takes less storage to store "10H" (i.e. the integer 10 followed by the character H), than it is to store 10 H characters in a sequence.

bool3max··on A new speed milestone for Chrome
Yes you are?
bool3max··on ICANN's rejection of Ukraine's request to sever Russia from the internet [pdf]
You are incredibly naive.
bool3max··on Ask HN: How much gas we could save in EU if we reduce our heating temp by 3°?
Very condescending advice. Refrain from giving more in the future.
bool3max··on PyPI in a Box (2020)
PyPI is more complex and probably serves way more traffic.
bool3max··on Top Performers Have a Superpower: Happiness
Happiness and lots of underground drugs!
bool3max··on Newegg has a bit of a scandal on its hands
Depends on the scale/size of the merchant. For some it's more hassle that it's worth to try and get it back. Chances are they won't bother.
bool3max··on Thank You, Valve
Absolutely not true, as much as you'd want it to be.
bool3max··on Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of Covid-19
They both contribute to partial immunity of the virus in question and thus it would seem very useful to compare side effects of the two.
bool3max··on Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of Covid-19
"Sequelae" of a certain virus and "sequelae" of a vaccine related to that same virus being discussed in the paper seem pretty tightly related to me.
bool3max··on MariaDB to go public at $672M valuation
I have found the opposite to be the case.
bool3max··on Ask HN: Why is there no high quality method for voice control of a PC?
Who do you expect to actually work on this? Billion dollar companies can't get voice controls right. FOSS DEs struggle with keyboard/mouse input, let alone voice.
bool3max··on Can 5G be used as surveillance radar? U.S. military funds Binghamton research
I don't think you understand, it's a conspiracy though.
bool3max··on Getting Started with Lockpicking
Illegal to pick your own locks? Huh?
bool3max··on US consumer prices soared 7% in past year, most since 1982
For yourself, perhaps.
bool3max··on Completing a part-time Master's in computer science while working
Almost fired for working "strictly" 9-5. Oh well..
bool3max··on U.S. surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient
It's a pig.
bool3max··on Beej's Guide to Unix IPC (2015)
I personally dislike Beej's writing style. I tried to like his Network Programming guide but I found that most of what it conveys can be learned more quickly by simply reading the relevant POSIX/Linux manpages.
bool3max··on Peter Bogdanovich has died
That was 15-20 years ago.
bool3max··on Vim prank: alias vim='vim -y'
No one cares nerd
bool3max··on Why Restaurants Are So Fucked
Depends on where you live?
bool3max··on Ask HN: What are you predictions for 2022?
The majority of people here, as well as in the threads from previous years past, seem to vastly overexaggerate all of their predictions, or at the very least they make predictions for 5+ years into the future.
bool3max··on New York City bans natural gas in new buildings
Why do you personally care about eliminating CO2 emissions?
bool3max··on Marktext – Elegant Markdown Editor for Linux, macOS, Windows
Just another one in an endless stream of bloatware Electron markdown text editors. Stop giving these projects recognition.
