mkoryak··on The high-stakes race to engineer new psychedelic drugs
sounds like you had a good trip.

If you had a bad trip, you might feel differently about it.

mkoryak··on What's TypeScript compiling? Use a treemap to find out
I think you missed OPs point. If you want the functionality that those tools provide, then you pay for it with a longer page load.

It's easy to say "make it fast!". Yeah go ahead, make angular fast! Do it now! Its easier said than done...

mkoryak··on Show HN: Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid
my first 5x5 I couldn't solve in 4 minutes, then I gave up. This puzzle makes me angry.
mkoryak··on Show HN: Kvass, a personal key-value store
TIL.. When I saw kvass being made I was too young to know how it works.
mkoryak··on Show HN: Kvass, a personal key-value store
Somewhat unrelated: Can one buy kvass starter in the United States, and if so, what is it called?

I'm not interested in bottled kvass, it never tastes like the real thing and you don't get to watch kvass explosions in the bottle as it is being made

mkoryak··on I Sell Onions on the Internet (2019)
I bought a crate of onions from them in 2019 after reading this article. I got many many onions.

They say you can eat them raw, and its true - they are delicious. You still smell like an onion afterward but given the quantity of onions I had, afterwards was a long time.

I brought them to work and ate them during meetings. I can happily report that my calendar became much more clear after that.

mkoryak··on AutoRegex
I disagree. If I write a regexp, I have to think about what I am writing.

If I press a button and one is magically made for me, I can skip that step.

Skipping that step is bad.

mkoryak··on Why do people not notice our enormous, prominent, clear and contrasting banner?
So they never fixed it after all that?

I went to the site linked in the post, and that banner is still like that o_0

mkoryak··on My New Sony NW-A55 Walkman
One thing no "new" mp3 player has done correctly is audio books. None of them do bookmarking as well as rockbox. Also, new mp3 players usually have terrible battery life. Because of these reasons, I bought myself about 7 sandisk sansa players on ebay and have gotten very good at fixing their shitty headphone jack problem.

With a rockboxed sansa I get about 60 hours of battery life and bookmarking on stop with a list of recent bookmarks per file.

Can this sony do any of that? Hardware music player have gone down hill.

mkoryak··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
I wouldn't call jQuery a framework. It's an API wrapper (warper). Your link also lists html/css as a programming language
mkoryak··on Show HN: Particles – the URL contains the whole program code
Cool, but why are the variables named like you are trying to conserve memory? I understand `dx` and `dy`, but `thres` and `n_part` ?

I think the op is trying to say that your site should have some other way to grab people's attention besides a bunch of videos because a large number of people will never click the play button

The effect is really neat, but I would never use this for any reason.

I see that there are a ton of people on that Twitter thread who love this. Good for them!

This app is not available for your device.

Too bad so sad, and I was ready to give them 6 bucks.

mkoryak··on Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end
your dog will not look for a simpler impl before making one.

your npm's dependencies authors cat will write a small wrapper and wont know about yours.

mkoryak··on Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end
That's the problem.

It takes only 1 minute to write a wrapper, so you will write one, and I'll write one, and your dog will write one.

the music is great. i will now go and listen to more laser hawk.
mkoryak··on Ask HN: What's the most stable form of digital storage?
Wow that website is terrible on a phone. I wanted to know ardrive pricing but only found a page that asked me to find my wallet and take a picture.

I left my wallet in another room, but I don't think this is what it meant. Too bad it didn't tell me much more than that.

mkoryak··on What it’s like to get custom earbuds made
the audiobook usecase is so important to me, that ill give you hundreds of dollars for the "stim" part that I dont really need :)
mkoryak··on Twitter accounts dropping “.eth” from usernames
I used to have a 5 digit one as well, but I was also a cool script kiddie and when someone told me about the dir traversal in the icq web server that was enabled for everyone by default, I went on an icq config stealing spree. I stole a password for a number that was like 12121 or something neat like that.

It turned out to belong to either an icq employee or a friend of one. Needless to say I found that I could no longer log in to any of my stolen and personal accounts.

And that's my story about finding out what karma was in my teens.

mkoryak··on What it’s like to get custom earbuds made
That sounds great, too bad I can't give you money, but I gave you my email.

I don't really care about stim, but pausing my book after I fall asleep is HUGE. Right now i use a sleep timer which is okay, but if the book is good and stops before I fall asleep, I need to really wake up and set a new timer. If I set a longer timer, there is a chance I will fall asleep early and have a hard time finding my spot later

mkoryak··on What it’s like to get custom earbuds made
I've been looking for earbuds for sleeping and listening to audio books before bed.

I don't think such as thing exists sadly. I had high hopes fir UE fits, but while the fit is great, they stick out too much for side sleeping.

They also had an annoying firmware issue where tapping didn't work until they quietly rolled out a fix and I happened to see it months later when I googled the issue again.

I am curious, why is this being downvoted?
mkoryak··on Infinite Mac: An Instant-Booting Quadra in the Browser
this is really cool, I was going to play some warcraft, but alas, the framerate is worse than my 66mhz DX2.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on some warcraft that actually works?
