jarnix··on MySQL 8.0: Retiring Support for the Query Cache
I'm not sure that it will "only affect a small number of users".

Maybe this should be an option with false as default value, it could help with the transition.

jarnix··on Show HN: Facebook Recipes
I was "afraid" that they were hosting the recipes but they are linking to the original websites.

Fun thing: nobody has the same definition of "world cuisine" :)

jarnix··on Show HN: Alphabeat – Make music from text
Did not understand what I could do, you could maybe add a tutorial or tooltips.
jarnix··on Show HN: SearchIT – A simple Chrome extension to make searching easier
It's really useful, but I would add the highlighting of the search query in the result page, sometimes you search for something and you still have to ctrl+f the text in the page.
jarnix··on Show HN: RuinMyHistory pollutes your search history
This is not an effective countermeasure against logging your browsing history, which is what all the fuzz is about currently. Your browsing history is made up of the list of sites you actually visit.

Also, Google was always able to do this, and do so legally, even before the latest bill passed.

jarnix··on Star Citizen developers intend to drop DirectX support and only support Vulkan
I don't know why this comment was downvoted, it's pretty obvious that one should release early and often, then make changes instead of making long term change even before the product is released!
jarnix··on Show HN: PeekOut
Despite the scary pictures on the Play store and name of the app (I expect to see dongs), I tried to install it but the fields for the username, password, etc were unreadable (Nexus 6).
jarnix··on Gitea – A painless self-hosted Git service
I fail to understand the difference between Gogs and Gitea?

Did anyone try it and how does it compare to Github, to Gitlab (hosted/free and entreprise) ?

jarnix··on Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M
They bought 19M users for $425M, it's $22 per user, I don't know how many users pay for the service?

PS: their pricing page says $10 / year and user

jarnix··on Show HN: Justrequest.me
For mobile users: http://www.justrequest.me

It's interesting but there is no explanation about the business model or even how it works, however I understand that it's a beta :)

jarnix··on Show HN: Http://realdjnamegenerator.com
So it's just echoing the input values?
jarnix··on Show HN: 2017.sucks – List bad events that happen this year
The div with a scrollbar on the left is strange :)

It's the div "container-left", remove it :)

jarnix··on LoadJS – A tiny async loader for modern browsers (710 bytes)
It seems to lack the handling of timeouts, which is necessary in these async days.
jarnix··on Show HN: What a single developer can build in Unity these days
Your significant other needs to have a hobby too... Help her or him find something that takes some time every day (my girlfriends paints and reads -a lot-, for example).
jarnix··on Show HN: H4ck 1t, multiplayer hacking game
I've just created an account and begin to try this game.

You should maybe (I know, it's boring) put some pictures or a video to show what it's all about.

And congrats BTW :)

jarnix··on Designing the new Uber App
I skipped the section "Enjoying the ride" since I get motion sickness when I read in a car :(
jarnix··on Ask HN: How do you deal with offshore developers?
It has been a good experience in my company (web publishing, so we make a lot of websites).

> We talk/chat a lot with them, as if they were in the same place.

> Cut tasks to smaller pieces to minimize the risks

What may go wrong:

- bad understanding of the tasks, that's why we communicate more

> and we always allow a little more time (than usual) for every task just in case something was misinterpreted and needs refactoring

> people located "offshore" hire them according to our requirements (English language is a must-have anyway, even if we're French)

jarnix··on Ask HN: What's your backup solution?
Personal: cloud server (it's quite expensive, like 40€/month but it's the best I could find) with rsync without --delete

Pro: backuppc (used at a "large" scale without issues) or snapshots on big fileservers

jarnix··on Facebook’s ad metric problem is becoming Zuckerberg’s headache
The article is wrong on a few things :

"It’s not difficult to measure engagement." => with video ads it's doable but it's always approximations when it comes to ad viewability (and for example, even if I can see an ad, it does not mean I'm watching it)

"Online advertising has a history of opaque reporting" => compare this to TV or radio

It's clearly an article against Facebook Ads, even if they are miscalculating things, it seems too biased to be taken seriously.

jarnix··on GridDB vs. Cassandra Benchmarks pitting the two found within
4 (or 12) millions seems a really small amount of data isn't it ?
jarnix··on Show HN: Guide to Hacking
This is not even funny, wtf?
jarnix··on My Subconscious Is a Better Developer Than I Am
Obviously it's the intuition, it hits you when you're not expecting it. It happens to me with music or any side project I could have. Also it happens that I solve a problem in the morning without thinking about it. We should have a subconscient IDE, it would make wonders.

Also, keep a paper and a pencil next to your bed just in case you think about something in your sleep, it helps you fall asleep better.

jarnix··on Dear Google, Apple, Mozilla, and MS: Please End Auto-Playing Media in Browsers
It's not up to the software developer but to the developer of the site, I don't understand your post!
jarnix··on Trump-Supporting CEO Kicked Out of Y Combinator Startup Incubator
Could anyone give more (insider) explanations? Not clicking on a buzzfeed link.
jarnix··on Lab colleague uses cracked software. Should I report it?
If I reported every time a company where I was working was using cracked software...

I hate using cracked software to make money but I don't think that we should "report" though.

jarnix··on Ask HN: Hands hurts from coding too long?
I always try to use the same keyboard at home and at work (mine is a Qpad 85 with cherry mx red), typing on a laptop is a real pain.
jarnix··on Increase Hacker News Font Size?
They did not change the css since a loooonnng time I guess.
jarnix··on Ask HN: How can I as a coder contribute to climate change?
I feel some sarcasm here, but honestly I agree with you. It's difficult to talk about it usually.
jarnix··on Show HN: Hacker News Night Mode – A Firefox Addon
Am I the only one to think that HN just needs anyway a little revamping?
jarnix··on Show HN: Taste Movies – Watch movies based on your taste
I wish I could combine it with every source of movies that I have access to.
