olq··on New updates and more access to Google Earth AI
More like booking them for the availability and likely a fixed non-hurricane-panic price.
olq··on The borrowchecker is what I like the least about Rust
Skill issue
olq··on A leap year check in three instructions
This is gold! HN Kino! Taking the hardest problem in the world, date checking, and casually bitflipping the hell out of it. Hats off man :D
olq··on 99Wh Battery Linux Laptop
This is completely false. Modern Nvidia cards on linux can barely get pixels on the screen and does not have power saving modes.
olq··on Samsung remotely disables TVs looted from South African warehouse
Then you're very welcome to write it if it's that easy /s

I have looked in to fixing a new but broken pc monitor that way but it would end up the same cost as a new monitor, at least in my case.

olq··on Pidgin – A Universal Chat Client
Looks like work is being done in a branch: https://github.com/adium/adium/commits/adium-1.5.11.asher.10...
olq··on Ask HN: 1Password vs. LastPass vs. Bitwarden for teams ?
Personally I've been using KeePassXC with self hosted Nextcloud sync for many years and it works great on desktop, apart from minor merge conflicts when server or clients been offline for long. I haven't found a good solution for iOS but Keepassium and Minikeepass is OK for occasional logins. I think it might bee more of a Nextcloud issue on mobile.

I think it's totally insane to let a third party manage your passwords.

olq··on Wikipedia Lost 3B Organic Search Visits to Google in 2019
I for one found this very useful
olq··on Libinput's bus factor is 1 (2019)
I use Steelseries ExactMouse to get rid of that odd acceleration curve. It works for any mouse brand and it still works on Mac OS 10.13, maybe newer OS'es too.

olq··on Show HN: XP.css – Windows XP CSS file and framework for building GUIs
Peak UX! Damn I miss it
olq··on Show HN: RegEx for Regular Folk – A visual, example-based introduction
I don't know what that is but just having all html pages merged into one would be enough and super useful for me and my printing purposes, and probably good for web UX too. Keep up the good work mate
olq··on Show HN: RegEx for Regular Folk – A visual, example-based introduction
Thanks for the heads up, it seems i have some more reading to do :)
olq··on Show HN: RegEx for Regular Folk – A visual, example-based introduction
Nice guide! As a complete regex-dyslectic i didn't know the slash '/' could be used to make expressions more readable.

On another note, since this is supposed to be a book and all, is there a simple way to get this on one a single page and make it easier to print?

olq··on AMD EPYC Rome Benched: 64 Cores, 128 Threads at 2.4 GHz (For Now)
What?
olq··on Apple resumes selling iPhone SE at lower $249 price on its clearance store
iOS flies on my SE
olq··on Danish numbers
Learn swedish or norwegian first. Then get drunk and talk while you're eating. You're now speaking danish
olq··on 16 Years with IPv6
Well they have already ran out and the big old companies have their own reserved ipv4 ranges. They even buy other tech dinosaurs for their reserved ipv4 blocks in the order of $10 per adress. [1]

olq··on Mac OS X: Sane way to switch between windows
Oh my god, this changes everything! CMD-tab focus to the wrong window has driven me nuts for ten years and this fixes it. I've just binded it to cmd-e since the ´´´ shortcut doesn't work on non-us keyboards
olq··on Mark Zuckerberg's 2016 personal challenge
I've had a sci-fi-villain-hunch about this guy for a long time and this just takes the cake. This is straight out of Ex-Machina, except for the hot robots but who knows, maybe next year...
olq··on John Carmack's Deep Thoughts: Ideas, Work, and Emotion
Is there a video of the lecture somewhere? I love his endless and flawless ramblings about bleeding edge tech!
olq··on NASA’s Kepler Mission Discovers Bigger, Older Cousin to Earth
I wonder if we'll abide the prime directive when the day comes ;)
olq··on When You Lose Weight, Where Does It Go?
Try exercising. Apparantly it will make you breathe more heavily.
olq··on The next version of DuckDuckGo
I think it looks great! Tried it in my kind of night mode: dimmed display, very orange f.lux setting and inverted colours, and it works good. I like the design a lot! Why not widening the results column in larger windows and thus fit more results vertically? Maybe really large site logos/icons would be cool.
