hamdouni··on Show HN: X11 tool to share a screen area in any video meeting
I'm not aware of company issued computer with x11. Is it really a thing ?
hamdouni··on Techie took five minutes to fix problem Adobe and Microsoft couldn't solve
So, it hits me that this will not work anymore :-)

hamdouni··on Why Gov.uk's Exit this Page component doesn't use the Escape key
This makes me laugh

"As a result of advertising people being bastards, more and more of what the web platform can do is ..."

hamdouni··on Practices of Reliable Software Design
My takeaways for a more general pov :

1. Make or buy

2. Release a MVP

3. Keep it simple

4. Prepare for the worst

5. Make it easy to tests

7. Benchmark, monitor, log...

hamdouni··on I Like Makefiles
I really was surprised that the main concern in the comments here was about the missing .PHONY.

And kudos for this article that gives a point of view, then fixes the main HN concern ;-)

hamdouni··on Removing stuff is never obvious yet often better
They tried to mitigate :

   But any attempt to address one source of confusion inevitably added another.
hamdouni··on Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out
I like minimalism and use ZenFox (an ArcFox extension fork) to have an uncluttered Firefox interface with optional tabs sidebar. But it still needs many configuration to heavily modify the UI. Hope this new functionality is only the first step making Firefox more flexible !
hamdouni··on Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out
I like minimalism so I made ZenFox (an ArcFox extension fork) and it uses vertical tabs. Maybe time to rework it to use this instead !
hamdouni··on Show HN: macOS-cross-compiler – Compile binaries for macOS on Linux
I think the project can easily add Go to the list as cross compiling is built-in:

  GOOS=darwin GOARCH=arm64 go build -o bin/app-silicon-darwin app.go
hamdouni··on Ask HN: How can I make local dev with containers hurt less?
I use docker (compose) a lot for my daily dev (on linux) to create and maintain web applications. Mostly Go backend, Svelte frontend, Mysql or SQLite db, Traefik or Caddy proxy, ...

I avoided a lot of your troubles by coding/running/debuging the main program (app server) outside of a container and letting "only" the infrastructure parts inside (db, mail, ...)

Only at release time that I embed the server part in a container.

hamdouni··on StackOverflow questions down 66% in 2023 when compared to 2020
The comment about the natural "entropy" of this kind of site is right : lot and lot of questions were already asked. But has audiences decline at the same rate ?

On contrario, many questions asked to gpt may be redundant... A converging approach would be great (saving and publishing answers from gpt in a SO like site) but I suppose there will be some confidential issue (Please gpt, refomulate this personal letter)...

hamdouni··on Show HN: Citadel – a Calibre-compatible eBook management app
Side note : this invocation

  bun dev -- -- -- -- --server ...
made my day :-)
hamdouni··on Show HN: Bring phone calls into the browser (SIP-to-WebRTC)
A permanent video call for my remote team... No login, no option, just an url to a vm.
hamdouni··on Show HN: Bring phone calls into the browser (SIP-to-WebRTC)
That is nice. I already use pion for video call in browser. That's an interesting add'on.
hamdouni··on Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2024?
Pretty much the recipe of all big companies strategy ;-)
hamdouni··on Igalia: Scaling a Worker Cooperative Beyond 100 Members [video]
Never heard about them but happy to see alternatives to SV model...
hamdouni··on Ask HN: What upcoming technologies do you find most promising and intriguing?
If we can mix AI/LLM with quantum computing to pilot CRISPR, that will be intriguing ;-)
hamdouni··on Get rid of YouTube advertising without Adblocker
Using censorship to bypass ads. Smart.
hamdouni··on The art of slide design: Maximise signal, minimise noise
When I see advices like this, I always remember Garr Reynolds [1] PresentationZen and, above all, Guy Kawasaki's rule of 10/20/30 [2]

  A pitch should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.

hamdouni··on Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth
It's the article's title...
hamdouni··on Code is run more than read
biz > user

This one sounds like there is only the HN reality of dev : startups, VC, growth hacking, free until is not, client=product, burn every $ to reach monopoly,...

But, there is another one with small businesses, craftsmanship, get what you pay, client=client...

hamdouni··on An ex-Googler's guide to dev tools (2020)
surely at my place of work, there is no cleaning staff and no CTO.
hamdouni··on Ask HN: Is there an end to tech job market crash?
The field is like a roller coaster, it can go very high and then very deep... The first half of the 90's were at a lowest, then Internet and the Y2K bug boosted IT employment and then the bubble exploded, before a new reborn...

Maybe the last period has gone too high, with ridiculous number of recruitment and oversize salaries, and the correction will be harder. But it will end.

hamdouni··on Go modules and the domain expiry problem
By forking the dependencies, I meant having a copy of them in my namespace, not cloning them in my project...
hamdouni··on Go modules and the domain expiry problem
Sorry, I don't understand. My proposition is only to change 'origibal/dependency' to 'myfork/dependency'.
hamdouni··on Go modules and the domain expiry problem
That is not the point. If I newly checkout my Go project and build it, it will use my forked repos instead of the orginal ones. If someone use my project, it will also use my forked repos, so it makes the builds more reproducible. That way, I'm not pushing the dependencies in my project.
hamdouni··on Go modules and the domain expiry problem
I know it is not always possible but forking the repos helps mitigate the issue of original repo being "compromised". It also helps reproducible builds...
hamdouni··on Ask HN: What's the best way to write a book in Markdown?
Pandoc is also great for producing other book format.
