nik736··on Apple Music Web Client
Does not work in Safari for me. When playing songs they simply don't start. Weird.

How was this upvoted so often without a single comment?

If you want to be taken seriously you change it and also change the Holmes example ;-)
nik736··on Does “www.” Mean Better Transport Layer Security?
I use www. for everything because of cookies, when having cookies on the plain domain they are on every subdomain automatically, while having them on www. is exclusively for www.

Was language a deciding factor? NSQ being Go while Kafka is Java.

I read somewhere that it would take several years and generations for them to be fixed on the hardware side.

How would you even come to the conclusion that it would be a german company? They are HQd in Romania and only have a virtual office address in Frankfurt, for their GmbH.
nik736··on Show HN: TLDR This – Auto summarize any article or webpage in a click
I tried some of my articles and it's not really helpful. I even have a conclusion in my articles which is completely ignored.

nik736··on When a rewrite isn’t: rebuilding Slack on the desktop
I read the article, but for me as a user it doesn't matter at all if the client is written in jQuery, plain javascript, React or some new shiny framework. Memory usage seems to be the same, as long as I don't feel any performance difference nothing has changed.
nik736··on When a rewrite isn’t: rebuilding Slack on the desktop
So for people who only use one team nothing has changed?
nik736··on Ask HN: How often does your company replace your laptop?
In Germany laptops are written off for 3 years, so I would imagine 3 years is the period most companies are replacing laptops here.
nik736··on Intel’s Xeon Platinum 8284 CPU: When 300 MHz Cost $5,500
In my opinion they are not driving down prices heavily. They are just pricing their chips competitively so people will buy AMD over Intel, but they are not super cheaper. The pricing of AMD chips just makes sense if you look at the lineup and compare it to Intel.

Glad I switched to Safari :) The dev tools are great and it's so lightweight overall that I never looked back.
nik736··on Aussie ISP gets eye-watering IPv4 bill, shifts to IPv6
I didn't say they were using just one address. I was saying they are putting 100s or 1000s of customers behind one single address (which is happening in Europe for years already, with UPC for example). Of course they have several IPv4 addresses.
nik736··on Aussie ISP gets eye-watering IPv4 bill, shifts to IPv6
This has nothing to do with native IPv6. They are putting 1000s of customers behind one single IPv4 address which is a nightmare for everyone involved (think about port forwarding not working anymore, etc.)
nik736··on Kuo: Apple to include new scissor switch keyboard in MacBook
Give me at least the option to get rid of the touch bar. I want physical keys, the touch bar has zero advantages for me but a lot disadvantages. It's not really an innovation that needs to be pushed like for example USB C, it's just an annoying accessory that they forced on us to raise prices.
nik736··on Can't We Have Anti JavaScript-Only-Sites Search Engine?
Yes, Javascript can be annoying. But what matters is the quality of the content that is being searched, not if a website has annoying Javascript or not.

Would you rather read a really bad article that has no JS or a very well written one with JS enabled?

nik736··on BMW is accelerating electrification plans
How many gas station does BMW own? I don't think they need to invest in charging infrastructure as long as there is one. If there is a need and money involved there will be a lot down the road.

Is this for video ads or banner ads?
nik736··on Malaysia to send up to 100 tonnes of plastic waste back to Australia
Got your points, interesting.

I just wanted to add to your last paragraph that we are paying 25ct per one-way plastic bottle on top of the regular price, we get it back when we return the bottle. That means the return rate is super high, because otherwise people will lose a lot of money. I think the system is quite good.

nik736··on Malaysia to send up to 100 tonnes of plastic waste back to Australia
> The glass containers can be reused, but not that many times on average, and it takes sufficiently more energy to produce one vs. the energy required to recycle a plastic bottle.

Is there any source for this?

In Germany for example we have the option to buy bottled water in glass or plastic. Glass bottles are reusable, while plastic bottles are either one-way (majority) or reusable. The glass bottles are reused an average of 50x, while the one-way plastic bottles obviously are only used once. There are some reusable plastic bottles, but they are only reused max. 12x if not a lot less.

Looking at these numbers alone tells me that glass bottles are way better for our environment compared to plastic bottles. So I am a bit confused by your statement.

"In this example, jbarr-public and jeffbarr-public are bucket names; /images/ritchie_and_thompson_pdp11.jpeg and /jeffbarr-public/classic_amazon_door_desk.png are object keys."

I think this should be:

nik736··on Remote-Powered Developer Tools
Good question!

I prefer Atom because I use it since the early days and I am so used to it. The whole workflow is super awesome and everything is simple and clean. I don't have any performance problems nowadays (this was a big problem years ago) so I have zero complaints.

It's hard to switch, I tried VSCode, don't like it and have no reason to switch because _for me_ Atom just works and I love it.

nik736··on Remote-Powered Developer Tools
Is there any way to run Atom in a browser?

I know this question sounds silly since it's basically a browser, but that it actually is similar to c9.

Can someone please link some articles that underline why this is the case? Thanks
