100%
hasahmed··on Ask HN: So what happened to Facebook "localhost" tracking?
same
hasahmed··on Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?
Hating it TBH. I feel like it took away a lot of what I enjoyed about programming but its often so effective and I'm under so much pressure to be fast that I can't not use it.
hasahmed··on SVG: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I really appreciated this article. It would be great to see a smaller svg graphics standard. I think SlimSVG is a bad name because it implies its still SVG. It should set its self apart. Just my 2 cents.
hasahmed··on Complexity Has to Live Somewhere
Very interesting. I'm happy I read it. I think that seeking simplicity in code for me is often trying to find the most simple and straightforward way to write the code so that I can understand it. This usually boils down to good naming, and good encapsulation of tackling specific problems into specific (ideally well named) places.

hasahmed··on Using Gooey as a Universal Front End for Any Language or CLI Application
Is there a repository of Gooeys people have made?
hasahmed··on Modern C, Second Edition
Cool stuff!

Typo in first paragraph of https://gustedt.wordpress.com/category/c/ (mayor instead of major)

hasahmed··on Psychology vs. the Graphics Pipeline (2017)
Very interesting. I wonder if researchers take the time to make sure they have hardware that can handle such things
hasahmed··on Show HN: Catj – A new way to display JSON files
cat foo.json | jq .
hasahmed··on Algorithm allows video editors to modify talking-head videos as if editing text
In regards to all the talk of not being able to verify your video source; perhaps we'll go back to film for things that need to be probably legitimate. Though perhaps that has the same issues.
hasahmed··on macOS deprecating scripting language runtimes, including Python, Ruby, and Perl
Yes
hasahmed··on For Better Computing, Liberate CPUs from Garbage Collection
Gc was a mistake? On what possible authority can you make such a claim?
hasahmed··on Why the U.S. Chills Its Eggs and Most of the World Doesn't (2014)
The article delivers on the title. That's good enough for me
hasahmed··on People Are Clamoring to Buy Old Insulin Pumps
A valid concern, but also humans are guaranteed to make mistakes and I'm sure a high percentage of them, so anything that lowers that error rate is an improvement even if it's not perfect. My thoughts anyway
hasahmed··on People Are Clamoring to Buy Old Insulin Pumps
I vote you do it underground and illegally until the law catches up. "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Thomas Jefferson
hasahmed··on Thoughts on macOS Package Managers
Great article. Really puts into words many complaints I have against Homebrew. The non-sudo thing doesn't bother me, its the leadership. User-hostile is definitely the way to put it. I don't anticipate leaving Homebrew any time soon, but it sure would be cool if the maintainers were nicer. A favorite thing to say is that they don't owe the users anything, but I think that they forget that a lot of users are contributors too. And they would probably contribute more if the maintainers were a little nicer.

Where can I learn more about ravel trees?
hasahmed··on OpenShot – Open-Source Video Editor
Awesome. Can't wait to try this out. Been looking to escape the clutches of Adobe
hasahmed··on Godot Engine Awarded $50k by Mozilla Open Source Support Program
Godot doesn't enforce any structure like game maker does. Additionally Godots default language (Gdscript) is awesome and intuitive, whereas gml doesn't really feel like a real language (argument0-15. Come on)
hasahmed··on Name It, and They Will Come
I have an issue with the formatting
hasahmed··on Special Cases Are a Code Smell
Got an easy problem to solve? Let's make it difficult to reason about and hard to maintain. But no if statements!
hasahmed··on Up close with New Zealand’s most notorious gang
Is this a joke? How are you going to feel when your wrongly imprisoned for "gang affiliation" whatever that means. As a rule of thumb you shouldn't agree with any action being taken against people that you wouldn't agree to be taken against you.
hasahmed··on Leaving Apple and Google: more devices now supported
Any hope on the iPhone front?
hasahmed··on Why Aren't There C Conferences?
And ketchup and ranch and oyster sauce and a pizza and a slice of cheese cake and a jackhammer
hasahmed··on Still in love with Rust
Rust sounds like the dream. I gotta check it out sometime

It's better documentation than no documentation
hasahmed··on Walmart's strategy to solve the Amazon puzzle is working
Hard to decide who to pull for in this fight. The competition will be good for Amazon
hasahmed··on An Amateur Rap Crew Stole Surveillance Tech that Tracks Almost Every American
More likely a way to attract more attention to the article. I have to admit I don't know if I would have clicked it if the title was "How criminals stole surveillance tech..."
hasahmed··on Tidelift wants open-source developers to get paid
Supposedly it's a promise that the code will be maintained
