Not me, but SerenityOS is predominately c++.

Desktop mode on mobile still works fine for me. That said, I really don’t feel like having to login when in incognito mode when I want a cheeky wank in the loo.

As a Roomba owner (with a Cat), I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly.

Thanks for this, your post resonated with me. It’s good to know that most of what you did is what I ended up doing for a customer implementation (we’re using Odoo and Queue Job to bring in sales from Shopify) and Shopify doesn’t always always guarantee the ordering of their order webhooks payloads.

You stole my idea! I love it. As a dev who spends a big chunk of their day in the shell, this is the kind of tool that I was destined to create myself, but never did thanks to lack of time, laziness, life, etc.

Holy moly, this gave me a good (well needed) chuckle.

Is it difficult to use your own equipment over there? I guess what I’m asking is doesn’t the NTU simply spit out an ipv4/v6 address and it’s up to you how you route it? This is how fttp works here in Australia (if you’re as lucky as me and live in an area serviced with fttp that is)

Keyboard that needs firmware updates? Yuck. It’s an input device. I’ll stick with my 12 year old WASD Code and Model M thank you very much.

Great to see this here! I’ve spent an obscene amount of time on this and scanning my own SDR over the years.

I’ve nothing relevant to say about this other than I am happy to see one of Marcus’ posts on HN! He has some great content centred around public transport in and around Melbourne, Australia.

I see many different iterations of HN "clients/fontends/apps" posted here, this is by far my fav, and the first one I have bookmarked! The hjkl keybindings made my day :)

I recently saved an old (2012) Mac Pro from the trash at work. As a lockdown project, I decided to do the rejuvenate the thing, thing. Cleaned it up, wiped and put a fresh copy of High Sierra on it. I am a long time Linux guy and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s almost fun to use!

That said, I believe High Sierra is the last release before things start getting...weird? My wife has a newer Mac (cannot remember the release) but I had some pretty crazy hurdles to install an unsigned bit of software. If that’s the trajectory Apple is taking, I don’t think I will be ditching Linux for MacOS.

This made me laugh more than it should have.

Oh, wow! This brings back a wave of nostalgia. This is great! If only you could get some haptic feedback happening, it would be the icing on the cake.

It’s (apparently) knocked a lot of banking services offline here in Australia.

Not sure what the deal is in the US, but in Melbourne, Australia (a week prior to our current lockdown) I managed to get my Pfizer jab as a walk in, even though I do not meet the eligibility criteria. At that point, some vaccination centres were allowing all walk ins due to the lack of (eligible) people wanting the vaccine here. Obviously lockdown 4.0 has changed that, and now everyone wants a jab.v

Jeff Geerling did a blog post[0] and video (series) on this very thing a while ago that goes into some of the hardware and costs. Whilst the costs can be negligible, it looks like a hella lot of fun!

I swear we must be the same person!

My first job while at Uni was at a record store, aptly named “rare records”. It always surprised me the random shit (usually with equally random cover art) that used to sell for big dollars.

Sites like these really reinstate my faith in the internet. Glorious.

OpenSSL is partially working on M1 it seems... :)

Ben Eater’s 6502 programming videos are great.

I think you work for a better company than me :)

Hey, another another person who started “later” in life checking in. I’m 36 but started when I was around 29. The common theme here seems to be “grew up around computers but fell into a different career”

My start was working for a company in a developing country who were struggling to find a way to escape spreadsheet hell. I was a business analyst but decided it surely couldn’t be that hard to program and create some kind of system myself! A month or 2 studying “Head First PHP” and I started work on a system to help the company manage their import, export and container yard operations. A few months later I was done. To my knowledge (and absolute horror), they are still using it to this day.

I’m back in Australia 3 years ago, happily working as a senior dev, but reading some of the posts here really brings back memories of the excitement I would get when those “ah ha!” moments would strike during those initial first months.

Takes a while (30~ sec) on Chrome to load, but I don’t think it’s broken. If the author is here, maybe chuck a spinny wheel somewhere in your JavaScript Ajax request.

You wouldn’t be the first, I swear I’ve seen an episode or 2 of Air Crash Investigations where some unsuspecting pilot forgets to retract the flaps, causing something disastrous.

What do you do if you need more entropy? Open vim and ask a graphic designer to exit.

Absolutely. Anthony Albanese (opposition leader for Labor here in Aus) said exactly this today on ABC. Whilst there is negligible correlation between the fires and our action (or inaction) to climate change as a country, the rhetoric of “well, we output so little compared of other developed nations” should not apply.

Oh, and our elected Prime Minister brought a lump of coal into parliament, which says as much.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the sheer number of them, how early they are occurring has got to account for something, no?
