leduyquang753··on Iosevka is an open-source, sans-serif and slab-serif, monospace font
I fell in love with the narrow width of Iosevka which saved quite a bit of screen space for other things. Although there are always some people that loathe whenever I post screenshots of code using the font, "the m looks like a solid block of pixels" and the like.
leduyquang753··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
Well you could host it in a containerized app service like AWS's Fargate and it would still be considered serverless.
leduyquang753··on iPhone Duo
It's about finding best matching hinges and phone frames.
leduyquang753··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
That only nerds will use because the UI is only ASCII art on a black terminal screen?
leduyquang753··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
When everyone uses the same handful of platforms, then everyone becomes the indirect target and victim of those big incidents. The recent AWS and Cloudflare outages are vivid examples. And then the owners of those platforms target everyone with their enshittification as well to milk more and more money.

What kind of sensitive thing is there that the page must be region-restricted?

leduyquang753··on The Claude Code Leak
> Many software developers have argued that working like a pack of hyenas and shipping hundreds of commits a day without reading your code is an unsustainable way to build valuable software, but this leak suggests that maybe this isn’t true — bad code can build well-regarded products.

The product hasn't been around long enough to decide whether such an approach is "sustainable". It is currently in a hype state and needs more time for that hype to die down and the true value to show up, as well as to see whether it becomes the 9th circle of hell to keep in working order.

leduyquang753··on Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
That recent Notepad++ incident was a supply chain attack, not a vulnerability in the original program.
leduyquang753··on Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
> (though the "about notepad" dialog shows the windows 11 version for some reason??)

It's because the program just calls a Windows API to display the version dialog of Windows itself.

leduyquang753··on Problems with C++ exceptions
> … go on to talk about removing the required scope to avoid RAISI .. then go on to talk about compile-time enforcement of exception handling…

Is this an LLM prompt?

leduyquang753··on China's chip capabilities just 3 years behind TSMC, teardown shows
The US's upper class is afraid of China taking over as the biggest economy in the world.
leduyquang753··on Firefox will consider a Rust implementation of JPEG-XL
That sentiment is just so unnecessary but oh well Rust is literally their brain child so.
leduyquang753··on Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination
Your friend can still enclose the phrases of the lyrics with double quotes to force an exact match on each of them.
leduyquang753··on Why not just do simple C++ RAII in C?
Did you even read the article? The part where it talks about problems with destructors is about halfway through.
leduyquang753··on Apple supplier Foxconn among firms asked to cut power use in Vietnam
There used to be a solar program in Vietnam, which made everyone jump onto the bandwagon. Lack of infrastructure planning, however, meant all of that solar energy could overpower the grid, and so the program has been stopped. To date, one can install their own solar system, but the electricity would be bought by the government at a price of zero, and they cannot sell it to anyone else.
leduyquang753··on Computer scientists invent an efficient new way to count
In the algorithm depicted in the paper, if no elements manage to be eliminated from the set, why not just retry rather than return ⊥?
leduyquang753··on Thread: Tech we can’t use or teach?
What about when the consumers pay for software and still get their data harvested and the product enshittified?
leduyquang753··on LPCAMM2 is a modular, repairable, upgradeable memory standard for laptops
The Framework laptop 16 features replaceable GPU.
leduyquang753··on Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years
Last time I tried Godot with C# in Visual studio, when I debugged I could not see the console output, and when I ran with the console output I could not debug (the breakpoints weren't hit). A Google search later and turns out it wasn't just me.
leduyquang753··on Why Vim uses hjkl keys as arrow keys
Simply look more carefully at the key.
leduyquang753··on White space killed an enterprise app (2019)
So there weren't any usability tests carried out in the development process??? This should be also a planning/management failure.
leduyquang753··on :syntax off (2016)
> I gave up and accepted it.

Some people also said "just accept it" and that's part of why I ditched it. If it can be helped I do not accept it. This is not limited to code formatters, I want to have control over the things I personally use. I want to be comfortable doing my stuff.

leduyquang753··on :syntax off (2016)
Sometimes there are situational choices that autoformatters cannot comprehend. I also failed to make formatters follow the style choices I use, they were just not configurable enough.
leduyquang753··on Downpour is the game creation tool I have been working on for the past few years
Looks like no effort was spent on responsiveness, which feels kind of ironic.
leduyquang753··on Show HN: Material Files – Open Source Material Design File Manager for Android
Google has then created a new version of Material design: https://m3.material.io
leduyquang753··on Diamond Subpixel Arrangement Simulator
Many computer screens are still at 1080p, including my 15-inch laptop which resolves to only 142 PPI.
leduyquang753··on Godot 4.2 Released
The addition of hot reload of extensions finally makes C++ programming on the new Godot bearable. It was a deal breaker when I touched the game engine from 4.1 and this release delievered exactly what I wanted.
leduyquang753··on Why aren't motherboards mostly USB-C by now? (2021)
USB-B is also alive and well in areas like audio production.
leduyquang753··on Push ifs up and fors down
Indeed they are working in a poor language that doesn't allow overloading. It's Rust. :-)
leduyquang753··on DRM-free e-books are a big deal (2019)
That would defeat the point of DRM.
