hexo··on Firefox Development Is Moving from Mercurial to Git
Really? I don't think so.

Just try to clone Mercurial repo (Firefox) and roll back in history to specific commit. Let me tell you beforehand - it is (at least used to be) impossible. What you could do is to "clone it again" up to specified point. You have to do it somewhere else on a filesystem just to needlessly spoil disk space and you end up having the same sources at least twice. When I asked why I got handwaving arguments about code history being sacred, which is of course nonsense. If it was so... in Git I'd make another branch and rewind to commit I care about without wasting another 25gigs of disk. How can be this achieved in mercurial these days (without waste)? Back in days I wanted to do some work specifically on Firefox, and those steps were the only I could come up with after a lot of searching and asking questions, and because of Mercurial I gave up, to me it felt like it was a high entry barrier on purpose.

So, no my friend, a lot better wins time.

hexo··on Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk'
Very fine Prime Example of a software company artificially creating e-waste.
hexo··on Bringing garbage collected programming languages efficiently to WebAssembly
About 1000 times more
hexo··on Bringing garbage collected programming languages efficiently to WebAssembly
I really do prefer open stuff so I have zero plans on turning wasm on in my browser. How does open web benefit from wasm, pretty please? Because open web is top priority, not enabling astonishingly complicated, compiled and locked down "apps". Did I miss something?
hexo··on Meta reveals serverless platform processing trillions of function calls a day
On multiple 100k servers? Not as much as you think.

Serverless means you have no server. Stop repeating amazons lies. It is nonsense.

hexo··on Meta reveals serverless platform processing trillions of function calls a day
The only impressive about this thing is technology abuse to do such a slow job on such a large scale. I recall ruby on rails doing at most 150 requests per second on a laptop 15 years ago, which was laughably low even for those days. I could do hundreds times more using c++, or at least tens times more using unoptimized python.

Their achievement should not be praised, on contrary they need to be told they're wasting resources, heating up planet and emit carbon dioxide for no good reason. This is not how optimization looks like. And no, it is not serverless, since obviously something serves that stuff, stop lying already.

hexo··on Show HN: 3D Binpacking Algorithm Visualized
View rotation is laggy, doesnt really correspond to cursor movement and doesnt stop when cursor stops, it slows down for a second or so.

This kind of stalking.

This should be illegal.
hexo··on FreeRDP: A remote desktop protocol implementation
exactly this. i cant get over why people need to reinvent the wheel again and again.

i dont get why there isnt SPICE implementation outside of libvirt. because, thats even better. i mean - usb redirection, sound, (possibly even 3d accel)...

and suggesting doubt-ware like anydesk or even worse - teamviewer... okay, these last ones make sense in some situations.

hexo··on JWST discovers massive and compact quiescent galaxy
Me neither, as I prefer washing machines over football fields.
hexo··on Tell HN: Please don't print –-help to stderr in your CLI tools
Please learn to redirect output. Printing help to stderr will not mess up piped commands, instead you'd know right away that somethings up.
hexo··on Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose
systemd is a festival of power centralization and bad design. quite opposite of what linux should be.
hexo··on Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose
systemd is extremely intrusive. anything dependent on it is a failure.

hexo··on Modular forms, the ‘fifth fundamental operation’ of math
Very nice website although I don't understand why it needs googleapis spyware access. It is something I'd never allow.

Poor hurricane needing ssh

If it behaves like that it is not a closure.
