I am amazed about what I can read here, and the profession of the discussion.

I don't get it. They say it doesn't need JavaScript. But how command is declared? And they show example rotating img with JS
gitowiec··on Htmx Infinite Scroll

gitowiec··on Show HN: Glitchy camera – a circuit-bent camera simulator in the browser
It was fun to use glitchycam. Thank you for describing your journey with AI, that is similar what I am experiencing.
gitowiec··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
I don't understand how come it happen? It is a human who wrote that blog post - it is for sure. I don't believe the automatic program which is "agent" could do it!
gitowiec··on Skip the Tips: A game to select "No Tip" but dark patterns try to stop you
I'm also from EU. I tip only at restaurants, only 10% on average. The prices when recently up like 50% or so. So adding the tip on top of that is a hustle. And 10% on the higher price is also higher tip, so I am double assured I do good

It was just luck
gitowiec··on Ask HN: How to handle a senior hire turning out to be junior?
If you allow him to stay, and do the learning (if he's willing to) you would be magical fairy granting wishes. There is no such work place with such an attitude

gitowiec··on How DOS was able to use most of the 1 MB address space of the 8086
Thank you for this article. It reminded me how I was profitable in DOS memory optimization. To run game like Mortal Kombat, Doom, Dune, Dune 2 or others I got very good in optimizing. I remember now how I wrote my own config.sys and autoexec.bat files or run MemMaker. This is a piece of history for part of us
gitowiec··on Omegle 2009-2023
Never used it, never knew it existed and I'm using Internet from the 1997. Seeing all the warm comments here I suppose it's like IRC for me.
gitowiec··on Social media decline: Users are shifting to messaging apps and group chats
I and my friends 3 years ago switched to closed group on Signal. We switched from our makeshift mail group we used for 10 years (we all were just using "reply to all" to the infinity). Thanks god Signal has mute option. The emails always waited for me not knocking on the doors like Jehovah's witnesses!
gitowiec··on Meta's new AI is being used to create sex chatbots
Is it wrong if I ask here where I can find Allie chatbot? I would like to try it. The only AI I chatted with is ChatGPT. It is very polite, but I often hit a wall where it says "I'm just an algorithm... So I can't do what you ask". I would like to experience more freedom when interacting with such an entity, to feel what it is like.
gitowiec··on Running Linux with Kernel 6.3 on Open Source Hardware Board with ESP32-S3
How it is even possible to run Linux only with 8MB of RAM? In the article it's Ubuntu, it's the distro what I use on my Dell i7 gen. 3 laptop.
gitowiec··on Show HN: OpenObserve – Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative
Once I wanted to use Data dog with our internal project. Unfortunately I couldn't use the trial, it ended when I was ill at home. So I asked to prolong the trial. Ohhh that was a big mistake. They came upon me with zoom meetings, with two persons from their side. Asking do many questions about everything made me angry. After our internal meeting we agreed that we will use another service. So I emailed Data dog that we will pass on their offer. And then emails started. I was like stalked about "let's do the meeting, tell us more for what do you need 3 weeks more of the trial .." and so on. That was worst corporate behaviour I experienced
gitowiec··on School district sues Meta, Google, and TikTok over ‘mental health crisis’
The space you call social media, is not a space where children learn social behaviours.
gitowiec··on School district sues Meta, Google, and TikTok over ‘mental health crisis’
I'm very happy that USA schools are trying to fight unsocial media. This is an example the world should take. For example, there is such a thing as parenting burnout. I as a father of 6 yo child which uses smartphone very rarely just to play two games we approved, am thinking too much about moment my child will start school. The moment where she will see most children have smartphones, use them without supervision and watch stupid videos. Support from schools would help me to worry less and allow me to feel that my child is safe.
gitowiec··on Ask HN: Lots of AWS credits expiring soon, ideas?
Donate it for learners. There's plenty of people doing certification. I'm sure a lot of them would like to do "hands on". If I were you I would go to places like examtopics and advertise. 100 of dollars would be enough, and it's easy to add subaccounts to AWS
gitowiec··on Open Source PC That Fits in Your Pocket
I also have Eee netbook. It's so old that it's keyboard stopped working. I bought another keyboard from the same model but changing it didn't help. What do you mean with "flex killed"? Could the same happen to keyboard controller on my piece? Is it possible to fix it with simple soldering new solder?

Also I would like to buy this OP mini laptop for my six year daughter... I wonder when it will be ready for production... She might be 8 then. Maybe better Raspberry Pi 400 (but it needs external screen and that is a downturn)? What do you think?

gitowiec··on Learn how to unleash the full potential of the type system of TypeScript
Hi n I have a question. I will go as simple and short as possible. I joined a small team working on the internal invoicing tool. Backend is Spring. Front-end is ExtJS used for me in very peculiar way. It emulates Java classes, there are Ext.define declarations with FQN names eg: "com.projectName.ds.Board.ui.extjs" (as string, casing important) Then in the code this class is instantiated by its FQN but used as identifier eg: var Board = new com.projectName.ds.Board.ui.extjs(); There are also a lot of FQNs with short namespaces, different are associated with business short names and other like Dc, Ds, Frame belong to code architecture domain (data controller, data store, a frame on the screen). How I could use typescript to improve developer experience here? I'm from the react world, I programmed 4 years only in typescript, react, node and mongo. Thanks!
gitowiec··on Ask HN: Inherited the worst code and tech team I have ever seen. How to fix it?
I would do it by the layers, like clean architecture

I didn't know that all these gestures are Italian. People around me and myself are used to use them despite we are not Italian
gitowiec··on Google’s in-house desktop Linux
Where I could download gLinux? I thought article said it's available for all...
gitowiec··on Universal Media Server. A DLNA, UPnP and HTTP(s) Media Server
I use it to host my movies collection. Recently it got updated to version 11 and they fixed DPI scaling in Windows 10 (at last I can see UMS GUI in proper size!). Best results I get turning off all transcoding which makes client Bubble UPNP work much better
gitowiec··on Repurposing an old Android phone as a web server
I don't think dynamic DNS will work on a phone connected to LTE service. LTE providers keep phones behind the NAT (or something with similar results). There is no way to forward/open a port for incoming connections. I wish there was a way to bring up a tunnel to make incoming connections possible via LTE/GSM OTA way.
