All year maybe?
chooma··on Triforce – a beamformer for Apple Silicon laptops
From the samsung S10 forward, this is a feature while recording video in zoom mode. I was always really curious how they did it.

chooma··on Rails for everything
I am really struggling to get hotwire running to be honest. I now just postponed implementing it till after the launch. Any good ways of getting up to speed on hotwire and debugging it?
chooma··on Ghostty 1.0
I wouldn't word it that strongly, however I would've like to see the first line of the documention on the homepage :)

I'll give it a spin later, looks interesting.

chooma··on Ask HN: What web development stack do you prefer in 2024?
After test drive countless of frameworks...I've settled for a very boring stack

Ruby on rails is the only framework I use for SaaS applications.

Plain ES6 for a lot of things that are not as big as a SaaS. React when I need frontend stuff.

Python lives mostly in notebooks for all my thinkering.

chooma··on Elon Musk says advertising boycott will kill X
Staying curious is so important for a realistic worldview.

While it was obvious to everybody Elon, would kill twitter with his actions. Elon's world view is that the advertisers will kill the company.

I've seen this behaviour over and over with leaders. They tend to turn the facts upside down and present it asif it's true without any doubt.

"TV programs are interruptions of commercial blocks" was the quote that stuck with me back in the day.

chooma··on Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees
fyi. Paris syndrome is heavily disputed among scientist, because the causality was never proven and the original author has 'vanished' from the scene.

i.e. do mental people visit Paris or does Paris cause mental illness?

chooma··on Google is forcing us to make our open source VoIP app worse
That's indeed what they tried to say, but they translated it very Dunglish.

chooma··on Google is forcing us to make our open source VoIP app worse
Indeed, the Voys app is a white-label version of Vialer. See: https://github.com/open-voip-alliance/vialer/blob/9e81baffc3...

We're an international telco, with two separate local entities & local teams, that are governed by different laws. The voys.nl website most certainly has the cookie consent screen.
chooma··on Ask HN: What are alternative ways of publishing a mobile app successfully?
That's a great idea, thanks! I'll double check to see if we haven't tried that already.
chooma··on Ask HN: What are alternative ways of publishing a mobile app successfully?
I reckoned as much :/
chooma··on Ask HN: What are alternative ways of publishing a mobile app successfully?
Yeah I agree, the user experience/convinience via the App Store vs Sideloading is like 10x better.
chooma··on Tell HN: Indonesian Telekomsel provider breaks HTTPS
That's what got me as well. They just inject themselves in the middle of my request and expect everything to be fine.

Being this naive as ISP is just astounding. I've seen similar weirdness from socialwifi hotspots here.

chooma··on Tell HN: Indonesian Telekomsel provider breaks HTTPS
Aha, I have seen that once. So is that what they are trying to show, which I don't see?
chooma··on Tell HN: Indonesian Telekomsel provider breaks HTTPS
I cannot even do a "proceed anyway" in FF. Chrome just says "site cannot be reached".

I am just going to enable NordVPN always and accept the performance hit

chooma··on Ask HN: Anyone else find Bluetooth to be frustrating?
Bluetooth on OSX was an excellent experience, but fell off the cliffs right after the 11.0 release. After so many releases, it still hasn't been fixed.
chooma··on Why do you waste so much time on the internet?
I spend too much of my life behind a computer screen, which I only notice when I take a long break. Working remote doesn't help either.
chooma··on Ask HN: Does reading Hacker News makes you happy?
It sounds like it makes you unhappy. Why is that?
