dmt0··on Overcoming Tab Overload
That multi-million industry does a good job at burying the content that's not fresh any more, and not a very good job at filtering out SEO manipulators. Good luck googling for that article from a year ago that had a nuanced comparison of A and B.

You go there to look at charts? That's what Trading View is for.

And Russians are immigrants. It doesn't go by race, it's Haves vs Have Nots - the only two classes that really exist.

"Shoot, was this p-4 or p-6 on the other page?"
dmt0··on Building React and Vue Support for Tailwind UI
I also like styled-system a lot. It's too sad that it was essentially abandoned. Theme-UI seems like a replacement that most people are moving to, but I doubt that it will be maintained for years to come either.
dmt0··on Show HN: Pakhi – Bangla Programming Language
Apparently there are a lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_...
dmt0··on Dr. Seuss books deemed offensive will be delisted from eBay
America is probably just one of very few cases in human history where slavery was based on race.
dmt0··on Robot AI beats world-class curling competitors (2020)
You can position your rocks perfectly, yes. But the opponent team can displace them whenever it's their turn. It's a game of strategy. The only thing that counts is the final arrangement. The robot won over humans 3 times out of 4.
dmt0··on Fake_contacts: Android app to create fake phone contacts, to do data-poisoning
There's XPrivacy framework that runs on top of Magisk or XPosed (not sure how it works now). I remember it allowed you to give very fine-grained permissions to apps and poison the data as well, with fake contacts, location, etc.

Back in the day it required a lot of tinkering to set it up, and would likely make your OS pretty unstable.

dmt0··on The Framework Laptop
Also good defaults. In fact they don't even have certain settings in MacOS. For example you can't change the pointer acceleration, but the default one is just perfect.

It's just that you've never had a laptop with a usable trackpad. I also carried a mouse when I had a Thinkpad.
dmt0··on The Framework Laptop
It's very simple. Use an MBP for a few months, then switch back to another laptop and just see how long you last. I never used a trackpad at all until I got an MBP - always a mouse. Can't go back to that now. The one on MBP feels like a finely tuned instrument that does exactly what you mean it to do.
dmt0··on BTC Endgame
1. If you watch the market - it dumps each time when it's 9AM in China. The moment the miners wake up, they sell the BTC. It creates an inflow of foreign currency into China.

2. Traceable currency.

3. Soft power / control of narrative? Bitcoin seems to symbolize people's loss of faith in fiat system, and their governments.

dmt0··on BTC Endgame
Arguably, US military has been successful so far in keeping the world's oil priced in USD. But yes, the world is changing.
dmt0··on Media files extracted from North Korea's Red Star OS
Obligatory, for ease of browsing: https://github1s.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/
dmt0··on Migrating a JavaScript Library from JavaScript to WebAssembly
Important or not, if your big corporate customers are willing to pay you big bucks to support it, how can you refuse? But yes, it does feel very counterproductive, and even more so over time, when you see that more and more of the popular libs drop support for ES5.
dmt0··on A Beginner's Guide to NFTs
Well, if he had it on blockchain and we all could have the digital copy of the album and listen to it, and he would only have the bragging right represented by his ownership of the token, it wouldn't be the same, would it?
dmt0··on Oil companies buying up EV charging networks: Shell acquires Ubitricity
Unless they artificially keep prices high. Full stop. It's not about gasoline, it's about control over energy in any form, concentrated in a small number of hands.

dmt0··on Reddit's GameStop, AMC surge is the new Occupy movement
So while "you" and HFbuddy are closing out the shorts, there are 16 transactions - that's significant volume, isn't it?
dmt0··on React created roadblocks in our enterprise app
> > evolved to be a very functional approach

> Is this actually advantageous though over class components? The creator of React said he thought moving to functional components would make it harder for people to learn.

At the end of the day you just end up thinking of the chunks of JSX and how they map to parts of the DOM, and who cares if those chunks of JSX are wrapped into a function or a class...

dmt0··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
There have been cases when genomic analysis was performed during the two infections and it "showed genetically significant differences between each variant associated with each instance of infection".

So reinfection actually is possible.
