chimen··on Trabant: The East German car remains iconic
"Longest car in the world at 20m. 2m car, 18m smoke"
chimen··on Compose for Web
The point of a cross platform dev is to write the same app for all platforms using the same codebase. I'm happy to "totally ignore JAVA, Kotlin and Swift" doing that

yeah, I'm also surprised they didn't rewrite everything in Rust /s

What's better with "Rockbox"?

Yes iOS devices use AAC but a better implementation so it's not that bad.
chimen··on JingOS: Linux Distro Inspired by the iPad
Will it receive an "update" from the supreme leader some time next year?
chimen··on After spending $57M on Facebook ads, I was kicked off
Boy that "Emma C" author sure knows everything about anything. This is the lowest form of shallow content that receives millions of dollars to be in front, surpassing good stories by authors with notoriety on the subject.

Facebook is the place where some of my "acquaintances" learned that Bill Gates gives them COVID, that everything is a conspiracy designed to take something from them, that the vaccine will implant them nano-chips or 5G "reactions" and sleeper nano-whatever that will wake-up on the right frequency.

I hate that platform because it gives a big mouth to everyone, to the bad apple that can now infect the rest over the internet. One look at shared.com homepage and I knew...I couldn't be bothered with their story.

chimen··on Ask HN: Has anyone purchased the base M1 Mac Mini for development work?
Curious why Golang? Would you consider rewriting everything in Rust? /s
chimen··on Ask HN: What low-code “dashboarding“ SaaS would you recommend in 2021?
Forrestadmin looks good also. Haven’t tried it though
chimen··on Draw.io and Terraform = Brainboard, Graphical Way to Do Terraform
Big fan of "talk to sales" or "contact us" pricing pages.
chimen··on Heavy is the Head that wears the AirPods Max
I have the WH1000XM4. It's like a Renault near a Mercedes when comapred with these ones (buld quality) or near BO n95. Depends what you want. My right earcup (right where it pivots) broke 2 weeks in. 100% plastic. ANC is good though I give them that. Also, "much cheaper" is only a feature when all other aspects match.
chimen··on Heavy is the Head that wears the AirPods Max
Mid range studio quality with active noise cancelation, great build quality, good BL codecs (aptx HD+ || LDAC)? Name that pair please. Those 8y Bose QCs are not even close to being a mid-range studio quality and are worst than a sony xm2 or xm3 in terms of ANC, built entirely of plastic also.

You people are so quick to bash on this company for no reason.

The only headset that I consider on par with this one is the recently released (at 800 euro) bang and Olufsen n95. The price is not always the sum of parts.

chimen··on Former Tesla engineer sues for defamation
And a good engineer usually does not make a good salesperson. Starting a company does not make a good engineer better nor does it guarantee a better path in one's career. On the contrary I would dare say.
chimen··on AirPods Max
> AirPods Max require Apple devices running iOS 14.3 or later, iPadOS 14.3 or later, macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later, watchOS 7.2 or later, or tvOS 14.3 or later.

That's no bueno. Are we to assume this only works with apple devices?

chimen··on I Hired a Freelance Editor for My Blog (2017)
Agree, by far the most praised addition to Typely (https://editor.typely.com)
chimen··on Getting Started with Ansible
Nothing beats my 400 lines bash code. :)
chimen··on Yelp Is Replacing Restaurants’ Phone Numbers So Grubhub Can Take a Cut (2019)
I read so many bad things about Yelp's shady business that I'm surprised they are still a hot topic. And I never used their services since I'm eastern European.

Why are they still in business?

chimen··on The Largest Gypsy Ghetto in Europe – Stolipinovo, Bulgaria (2016)
Germany rebuilt itself 2 times from the ground up in the last 100 years. These ones can barely finish 4 years in school here and they receive special treatment for doing so anyways. Most of them are in there for the monthly help from the state. My parents were unable to provide me with anything and I still managed to finish my school. They provided education and that is enough sometimes. The right kind of education. These are not oppressed people that live in poor conditions:

https://stirileprotv.ro/stiri/social/ue-baga-degeaba-zeci-de... - social integration for gypsies paid by the European Union. The gypsies say that "honest work is hard and not very well paid" and they prefer to stay on welfare instead.

Last phrase says this: "France, Germany and Italy won't give up and continue to supply Romania with money in order to try harder to integrate gypsies and keep them HOME" - they had enough of them also.

We know better - I'm not one to discriminate but these are facts. I tried, we tried, you lot do whatever you can to keep them here, at home, in order to avoid having them in Paris, London or Frankfurt but...pointing please refrain from pointing fingers at us.

chimen··on The Largest Gypsy Ghetto in Europe – Stolipinovo, Bulgaria (2016)
I hired three of them to build me a fence last year - following an online ad that they had, we talked on the phone and settled for the next day. Good for me that I have cameras in my yard because they jumped me to pay double at the end of the job quoting some bs numbers that we didn't discuss. 4 of them getting in my face at night. I already knew how it is going to go down from the moment I saw that the car of workers is made entirely of gypsies so I had someone recording and ready to call the cops. Nice tango there. I hope you don't get to dance it. As I said, it's easy to speak from the side when you don't know the situation - everyone seems to have an opinion but completely disregards what an entire nation thinks.

You make 0 sense stop babling with your slavery "Wikipedia" quotes. Life is not Wikipedia - we don't have slaves here. We're in 2020 nobody here cares about what happened 100 years ago more than for historic reference. We also slaved for the Ottomans during the same periods that you're quoting but you don't see me going into their country to do what they do here, in Austria, Spain, Italy or somewhere else.

Leave Wikipedia alone, come visit Bucharest, sit at the central train station for an hour and I'll show you 9th century "cultural identity" my friend.

chimen··on Bypassing Firewalls in macOS Big Sur
Nobody said it is anything malicious in there
chimen··on Does Apple really log every app you run? A technical look
Do they bypass/circumvent firewalls doing that? That's the question you have to ask, not what they send (now).
chimen··on Bypassing Firewalls in macOS Big Sur
https://imgur.com/a/y0NPJ2o - DNS activity of my Mac PRO + Big Sur during the last 30 mins. This is a filter on `apple` domain so I'm not sure if I'm seeing everything since they might use other domains but heh - for the curious.
chimen··on Don't use third party auth to sign in
He's not offering Google Sign-In. Disqus does.
chimen··on macOS unable to open any non-Apple application
Using a premium DNS with filtering features make sense: https://dnsadblock.com
chimen··on Volt: A reactive web framework where your Ruby code runs both server and client
I'm intrigued - what makes it a "red-pill experience" compared to a typical typescript setup for example?
chimen··on Amazon Review Scam
Exactly that is being addressed in this article. Sellers still trying to move the needle by any means - this case: offering a $10 reward
chimen··on Amazon Review Scam
I work in the proxy business. Almost everything about reviews on the internet is fake and should not be trusted. I don't know how I would fix it but I think I would charge a fee small for leaving a review. Some of my clients have thousands of social media accounts boosting each other's postings.
