lfmunoz4··on CSS Button Styles You Might Not Know
button tutorial without an actual button
lfmunoz4··on Family Dollar to close almost 1,000 stores
Anyone notice that dollars stores sell few products that are actually a dollar.
lfmunoz4··on Can We Just Throw in the Towel on Airport Security Theater Already?
99 percent of people can easily be pre-screened as not a threat.
lfmunoz4··on The Forgiver's Dilemma: Can Letting Go Set You Free?
I don't really understand forgiveness. Unfortunately many situations are you have 1 chance and if you mess up it there is absolutely no way to reverse the type of relationship that was created. For example if you are wronged as a child from parent. Yes later as an adult you can "forgive" (whatever that means) but then you are not a child anymore, so it is just not the same. You needed that parent as a child as an adult it is completely different. You aren't "holding" onto anything you can accept they did their best it just wasn't good enough and there just isn't any way to "reverse" that and change your childhood.
lfmunoz4··on Ex-Google engineer charged with stealing trade secrets
Wonder if any Americans go to Chinese tech companies to steal secrets or if there is just nothing there to steal.
lfmunoz4··on DoS Attacks in Available MQTT Implementations (2021)
Yeah what an obvious article. Too bad brokers are all locked down by clientIds / passwords and certificates and if you start acting out of the ordinary you will get banned / blocked. Even 1 packet of a large size can cause being blocked in a good production environment.
lfmunoz4··on Technitium DNS Server: Self host a DNS server for privacy and security
If you look at sponsors that might answer your question. Someone is using the software in their product and making money so they would sponsor the developers, probably nothing more to it than that. Think open source can be a way for multiple companies to pull their resources and build software that they both need.
lfmunoz4··on Bad stuff going down at the American Sociological Association
when you review a paper, where does your "review" go? Is your review some sort of written document? Why doesn't arXiv have a place for reviews? I.e, if I trust a reviewer and says paper is good I'm likely to go read it.
lfmunoz4··on Ask HN: Why is my web server being attacked?
anyone know of a ebpf tool that can temporary block ips if it starts sending too many syn packets?
lfmunoz4··on eBPF Networking Techniques – Packet Redirection
"jumping over the default linux network stack". What are the use cases. What are typical reasons to want to do that, what are benefits and downsides? What are the alternatives.
lfmunoz4··on 3500 arrested in global cybercrime crackdown
I find it mind blowing how at one point I was getting scam texts almost daily because it seems like the easiest criminals to capture. Registering a number will eventually lead to a bank account. They can social engineer the criminal. They can trace where the call is coming from. Yet it seems they barely do anything.
lfmunoz4··on Wireflow – free, online, open source tool for creating user-flow prototypes
Anyone know of a similar project but written in VueJs?
lfmunoz4··on The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell
Could barely understand this article. Is it just me or can none explain the graphics stack in a sensible way?
lfmunoz4··on New scalable, fault-tolerant, and efficient open-source MQTT broker
Apparently it is a spring boot app. Why are kafka and redis dependencies? Also I see Netty is used but not sure how was the MQTT protocol implemented, which library was used or was implemented in java from scratch?

Also why wasn't emqx used? Why is this solution better for their use case?

lfmunoz4··on Why are things expensive?
I get the sense that people increase prices just because everyone else is increasing prices. Even if nothing increased for you since "everything" is increasing might as well increase because now is when you can get away with it.
lfmunoz4··on Interactive tour of James Clerk Maxwell's house
Looks very inaccurate. When I go there I would have expected to be able to experience the house as James Clerk Maxwell would have, and therefore give me more of a sense of getting to know him by experiencing what he would have experienced on a daily basis.

Why would I go to his house to look at posters giving information, makes no sense I could look at that information from home no need to go all the way to his actual house.

lfmunoz4··on Vertical farming company raised $500M, and then it all but disappeared
Wonder how much money the founders walked away with
lfmunoz4··on Lua programming language needs a web hosting
Anyone know what kind of traffic a 6 dollar a month digital ocean droplet can handle?
lfmunoz4··on Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Microsoft
I guess Microsoft has that much money where they sink 10 billion into OpenAI and then hire all the staff so that it will so that they will need another 10 billion to destroy OpenAI
lfmunoz4··on StyleTTS2 – open-source Eleven-Labs-quality Text To Speech
Been looking for a speech to text that can work in real time and run locally, anyone know which are the best options available?
lfmunoz4··on Ilya Sutskever "at the center" of Altman firing?
what is the disagreement
lfmunoz4··on Federated finetuning of Whisper on Raspberry Pi 5
The device on the edge creates the data but must also label it, right?
lfmunoz4··on Kotlin Coroutines runtime in 400 lines
The way the code looks is completely different and significantly cleaner and faster to write in Kotlin. Actual performance and final functionality is likely to be same.
lfmunoz4··on Mazda slaps developer with cease-and-desist for DIY smart home integration
Things like this just make me think, if you write code and aren't making money no point in hosting it in US. I.e, just put it on Gitee
lfmunoz4··on Extracting Hacker News book recommendations with the ChatGPT API
I'm surprised how few books there actually are. Each time I see one of these lists I see the same books over and over again. In a single lifetime you can easily read all "good" books. Wonder what books are good but are hardly mentioned, probably none cause if they were good the would be mentioned. We have a tendency to think there is hidden knowledge but that is just not the case. These books are what there is kind depressing if you've read most of them.
lfmunoz4··on California’s math misadventure is about to go national
Hilarious that the people that are the problem think they can solve the problems. But that is impossible since they don't realize they are the problem. Education can easily be fixed by giving students vouchers and let them decide where they get the best education,i.e, probably Khan Academy. The market knows best.

Isn't the California cost per student per year is like 20k or something ridiculous where each kid can get a private tutor?

lfmunoz4··on I got robbed of my first kernel contribution
> There is nothing wrong with being motivated by getting credit.

Nothing wrong is too strong of a statement. Obvious to me, but wonder why not to others that it would be better if someone was motivated by something else other than credit, something like doing good, the challenge of the problem etc. Motivation solely for credit is egotistic and will lead to other problems with team and self-worth etc.

We have a name for such people and generally despised, "clout chasers"

lfmunoz4··on Why We're Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras
amcrest is the best I found. 100 dollars, HD, power over ethernet. built-in http interface to grab videos / stream video. So you I just plugin ethernet cable camera gets an IP, and you can configure it to push videos at some interval to any server, or connect to stream for a live stream.
lfmunoz4··on Leaked Google Pay Data Unfolds an Ugly Truth
where is the data? Also article greatly exaggerate base pay, they confusing it with total compensation, I guess it makes the article more news worthy and clickable the higher the wages are.
lfmunoz4··on Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring
Would be good if you offer support / document to not use k8s just run on linux.
