pingiun··on Ask HN: Anyone making money through algorithmic trading?
Excuse me for being ignorant, but what does TA mean in this context?
pingiun··on Show HN: Launched my first app where people hum songs for others to guess
I would greatly suggest letting the user try the app without making an account. I'm not sure if the app is something I like, so when the first screen I get is a login screen the odds are high that you'll lose me.

Other games often have a guest account for this with some random name, which they can then upgrade to a real profile by signing up.

> I'm definitely in the market for a good e2e encrypted cloud storage solution.

mega.co.nz may be kind of what you're looking for

pingiun··on Protecting Against HSTS Abuse
Do you have a list of them? I'm especially interested in the TLD for open registration.
pingiun··on Rust in 2018: easier to use
> It is new, it is shiny but lets wait its 10th birthday before it can be taken seriously and pls provide a decent async io / http library before we even get started what else can be done in Rust.

Have you not looked at it for a while or don't you think tokio/hyper is good?

pingiun··on OpenBSD: arm64 platform now officially supported, and has syspatch(8)
Isn't the official term aarch64?
pingiun··on Why Did ProtonMail Vanish from Google Search Results? (2016)
posteo.de is very privacy friendly too
pingiun··on Thanks Homebrew maintainers and contributors
This really is the easiest thing to fix in macOS, just install magnet (in the app store). I does window snapping in all the places, with shortcuts too.
pingiun··on RSS: there's nothing better
Podcasts are RSS too. Possibly the only application of RSS that became and stayed popular.
pingiun··on What If OpenDocument Used SQLite?
AFAIK this is only a problem with html
pingiun··on Against an Increasingly User-Hostile Web
Luckily mailing lists and newsgroups still exist, some newsgroups are even still active. (Mailings lists too of course, but they are generally created for a specific purpose)
pingiun··on A Minimalist Guide to SQLite
> Docker does not support persisting data as far as I know. So if you need to restart the thing, all the data will be wiped. At least that's how it seems to be.

In some systems such as kubernetes, data is not saved on a persistent disk. But by default docker containers can retain data. However this is generally solved by using volumes, which you can read about here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/volumes/volumes/

pingiun··on Dynamic Progamming: First Principles
I agree, it's hard to read
pingiun··on Please Stop Writing Secure Messaging Tools (2015)
I think matrix forms a nice basis for a secure chat platform. Only the apps are not really all that good. The desktop apps are electron based and the android app is just not up to par with telegram or WhatsApp.
pingiun··on Firefox Send: Private, Encrypted File Sharing
> It seems that bitorrent protocols are pretty close, but I don't think there is a seamless client that allows for "magical" point to point transactions.

instant.io works pretty well for me, it works on the bittorrent protocol, but over webrtc

pingiun··on Tiny Apps
That's really cool! You should submit it
pingiun··on Taking control of all .io domains with a targeted registration
Could you get a wildcard certificate for *.io this way?
pingiun··on MusicBrainz: an open music encyclopedia
I really like the idea of your universal playlist format, are there any players that support it?
