dewiz··on Wish HN: Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays
dewiz··on Microsoft notifies customers of Azure bug that exposed their source code
IIS still making victims, sort of, wow
dewiz··on I am in favour of the term “Web4” to describe small, local, personal, private...
if anything I could agree with, the next web should adopt semver /s
dewiz··on WhatsApp Launches Instant Cryptocurrency Payments in the US
I wonder how people will deal with this at the time of tax return, when one has to disclose all crypto transactions. Hopefully since this coin provides no gain, one can just ignore it as much as one doesn’t list all USD transactions. Surely in terms of taxes and transparency this could be a big deal
dewiz··on Apple’s new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors
...and the Apple store is down lol :-)
dewiz··on MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch
could be "face ID ready" without telling us, and share it will be a coming with macOS 12 on M1 Pro+
dewiz··on Dislike button would improve Spotify's recommendations
You will have to share access to your data, so expect them to sniff a lot about you and your friends from Spotify. Highly recommended to remove access once the migration is complete. The free version transfers only 1000 tracks, about 1-2 songs per second, and some might be missing in the destination, e.g. when moving from Spotify to Apple. Favorite artists cannot be transferred to Apple Music.
dewiz··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
Is it Windows 11 compatible (serious question) ?

Edit: yes - https://community.frame.work/t/windows-11/2451

dewiz··on Matrix multiplication inches closer to mythic goal
How would one calculate the $$$ value of exp2 multiplication? Eg if one finds a way, would it be worth keeping it a secret and creating a business around it?
dewiz··on Zealandia: Earth’s Hidden Continent
Wish there was a clear pic showing where it sits, disappointing
dewiz··on Show HN: I built an app that helps amplify the voice of the customer
another way to make money, is for company X to pay to have a "grace period", e.g. 24 hours to address the issue before the amplification starts.
dewiz··on Show HN: I built an app that helps amplify the voice of the customer
did you consider using a public support forum to promote transparency? your helping customers would be visible, and unreasonable asks would be there too, for everyone to see if you did your best
dewiz··on Show HN: I built an app that helps amplify the voice of the customer
even that way, the sentence doesn't make any sense, it's either eventually or immediately /nitnit
dewiz··on Microsoft Surface Duo – Dual-screen Android phone
Duo looks much nicer though
dewiz··on Venice test brings up floodgates for first time
Future maintenance costs; environment impact; actual effectiveness once water level raises in future; excessive realization costs and corruption.
dewiz··on 7.1 magnitude earthquake strikes Southern California
Would be nice if Siri told me an earthquake is coming within seconds
dewiz··on Why we're ending support for MySQL
IMO the point is that they’re creating misinformation with incorrect statements about MySQL. It’s not clear why they had to publish a blog post in the first place, to excuse themselves or to prove a point? Put that info in a FAQ and be ready to address incorrect info. I understand that MySQL doesn’t fit their use case and I wouldn’t try to smartass them out, but it’s wrong of them publishing incorrect data. If they thought this would help them and their conversation with existing and potential customers, it’s actually damaging their reputation, because it feels like their engineers don’t know what they’re doing.
dewiz··on Chinese authorities install app on phones of people entering Xinjiang
iOS too, they ask for the PIN so they can unlock and install etc
dewiz··on Apple is making corporate ‘BYOD’ programs less invasive to user privacy
It feels like an over engineered solution for a simple problem. If Apple were instead to add multi-users support to iOS then it would be as simple as having a work identity with dedicated apps and segregated data, and a personal identity as such, invisible to IT.
dewiz··on Black – Uncompromising Python code formatter
I hope to have something similar for every programming language, no need for configurations, no petty discussions on this anymore.

    If you're paid by the line of code you write
:-)
dewiz··on Microsoft ION decentralized identity platform
It depends what problem you're trying to solve. We also need trust, ownership and freedom.
dewiz··on Google Fights Back
The problem with google’s mission is that it doesn’t say which information has to be accessible to whom and in what way it’s going to be useful.

Given that google’s income is mostly from advertising, it feels like the mission is about making my information available to someone else, and useful for them to make money.

dewiz··on Now dev – Serverless on localhost
Is Now much different from docker run nginx pointed to a volume mounting a local folder?
dewiz··on Microsoft Gives Paint the 11th Hour Reprieve It Deserves
After bringing it back though, it would be nice to see some few features being added, without too much complexity. IMO Paint should be the default image viewer, allowing basic editing, my 2 cents :-)
dewiz··on MSX History: The Platform Microsoft Forgot
I still hold my MSX dear, protected in a box for future generations. That's how I learned to program, fiddle with memory addresses, and weld broken circuits. 3.5MHz could do a lot, well, sort of, games were pretty cool :-)
dewiz··on Sum-of-Three-Cubes Problem Solved for ‘Stubborn’ Number 33
The solution for 42 is coming soon
dewiz··on Marp: Markdown Presentation Writer
I see what you there.

The title has been fixed, I noticed that too, and I'm always advocating for removing artificial barriers such as HN limit on titles. When truncating a title HN could for example show the complete one onmouseover or use some JS to expand the title.

dewiz··on Electron v5.0 Timeline
That would also allow to call one application from another, just assigning some reserved namespace or domain and appending the feature at the end, kind of a path. Exciting times!
dewiz··on I have chosen the wrong flight dates because your date picker is broken
[OT] ...and I had to uninstall twitter to be able to read the linked tweet (because I didn’t want to log in)
dewiz··on Apple blocks Google from running its internal iOS apps
It should be a user choice whether not to trust apps.

iOS should say “this app violates Apple agreements blah blah do you want to continue using it?”
