maushu··on Microsoft Azure Outage
The point is PR. Never trust a status page if it's not directly connected to the monitoring system.
maushu··on Microsoft Azure Outage
Because it's not the developers that choose the platform and Microsoft knows that.
maushu··on Perplexity.ai prompt leakage
I wonder if they could change the prompt to prevent leaking the prompt and not ignore previous directions.
maushu··on Unreal vs. Unity Opinion
Have you seen probuilder for unity? Here's a old video: https://youtu.be/a8JOk8nuK0k

Unity basically bought this third party tool and is now a free package.

maushu··on DaedalOS: Desktop Environment in the Browser
Quite interesting since on my mobile (OnePlus 6 with Chrome) seems kind of performant.

Edit: I wonder if its some kind of functionality causing the slow down? Perhaps Safari doing something stupid? Have you tried Chrome or another browser?

maushu··on DaedalOS: Desktop Environment in the Browser
Would love a open source version of this for custom hardware. Sometimes I don't feel like using a shell for my local servers.
maushu··on Etsy’s Journey to TypeScript
You can also use jsdoc to ask tools like vs code to run js as typescript and complement your variables with typing information.

I used this recently for a project that couldn't use typescript.

maushu··on EU court rules no EULA can forbid decompilation, if you want to fix a bug
On the other hand I don't buy games with denuvo so that's a lost sale right there.
maushu··on FDA panel recommends Pfizer's Covid booster doses for people 65 and older
That feels like lying and possible stealing that dose from someone that has not been vaccinated yet.
maushu··on Potoooooooo
Kind of interesting that you can follow the sire line of that horse until you reach pot8o.
maushu··on Astonishing Performance of .NET 5
Funnily enough that seems very similar to "cpu binning" in which sections of a cpu are disabled based on stress testing so you end up with different models but the same underlaying hardware.

So of course a pointy-haired boss found out about it and you end up with stupid stuff like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Upgrade_Service

maushu··on Embedded PDF viewer in Firefox 81 supports filling forms
Check out the specs file for PDF and you will understand.

I will be extremely surprised if anyone (besides Adobe) has implemented 100% of it.

maushu··on How to easily rename Git master branch to main
Yes, Petr Baudis decided on that name (and also "upstream"). [1]

He regrets it now because of his lack of English language knowledge at the time and that "main" makes more sense but he originally based it on the "master copy" concept.

I personally don't understand why people decided on this hill to die on. There are much better targets like database master-slave replication.

maushu··on GitHub renaming default branch to “main”
I'm going to need a source for that. I can't find any reference to slave in Bitkeeper documentation.
maushu··on GitHub to replace “master” with alternative term to avoid slavery references
I'm going to need a source for that. I can't find any reference to slave in Bitkeeper documentation.
maushu··on “We already store data. In a database. It works well”
I've noticed that at work about microservices. No, Bob, you don't need microservices for this internal application with a userbase of 20.
maushu··on JetBrains: $270M revenue, 405K paying users, $0 raised
I don't know what OP uses but I use VS code and it's pretty good for a free editor.
maushu··on The video game industry can't go on like this
> Factorio is a marvel of an example of a game made by people who are genuinely very skilled and care a lot about what they're making.

I'm have more admiration for the fact that they don't have sales. The only way to get a discount is to use a third party discount system like humble monthly.

maushu··on Game Builder: Create 3D games with friends, no experience required
Seems she can implement cards using javacript.
maushu··on Show HN: Why you should not use feature branches
Someone forgot about continuously merging master to feature branch to keep the merge simple.
maushu··on The story behind Michelin stars
Then the Michelin guy comes around again and decides for the first time in history to give a restaurant four stars.
maushu··on Scientists are looking for ways to put the simulation hypothesis to the test
Also, time may not be relative to "outside". For all we know we might be in worldgen (historygen?) phase for a "Humans vs Aliens in the Year 50k" game.
maushu··on Show HN: Namegine – find a name for your startup or product
You forgot to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to your api:

Failed to load https://api.namegine.com/api/v1/*: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://namegine.com' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 503.

maushu··on Space is full of dirty, toxic grease, scientists reveal
What a cruel universe for moths.
maushu··on Why nobody ever wins the car at the mall
It makes you think you own something but in reality you don't. Edit: Also paying for something yearly that you might not use.
maushu··on Ask HN: What are the things that you have automated in your personal life?
That is brilliant. Did it take much maintenance?
maushu··on Notorious Kindle Unlimited abuser has been booted from the bookstore
I'm pretty sure that is the author.
maushu··on Researchers suggest that R.E.M. sleep serves to warm the brain
> What might our IT infrastructure look like if humans evolved to sleep far less or not at all I wonder!

We probably would have started with multi-core systems much sooner.

maushu··on Leaked Emails Show Google Expected Military Drone AI Work to Grow Exponentially
> you don't really need 12 carriers to defend your country for example, they are mostly useless for defense

There is also the deterrence theory.

maushu··on GDPR: US news sites unavailable to EU users over data protection rules
I was surprised when my adblocker didn't bleep once. This is like looking what the internet could be. It could've been great.
