tazard··on Notre-Dame came closer to collapsing than people knew
For future confused readers, on mobile it's just an article + static images, but on desktop it's more interactive
tazard··on Show HN: Turn your fzf into a live REPL
Hey, pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
tazard··on Plant trees while you search the web
When I planted trees I got around $0.25 per tree. Some of the other companies paid as low as $0.09.
tazard··on “Tree planting will make the rest of your life feel easier.”
Where I planted, The ground was often rocky so it was tricky to close the holes properly after planting a tree. It's also very important not to bend the tree roots. It would be very difficult to accomplish that reliably without bending over. As far as specialized tools, generally from what I have seen the spade is sharpened and one half is usually ground completely off
tazard··on Pock: Display macOS Dock in Touch Bar
Thanks! That sounds exactly like what I need, and I'm already using Karabiner.
tazard··on It's Time to Switch to a Privacy Browser
This might be an over simplification, but my understanding was that all browsers on iOS were essentially just reskinned safari. And that is an app store restriction.
tazard··on Xiaomi explains more about how its under-screen camera works
I would guess because if you always looked directly into the camera, it would be harder to watch the video/see the other person at the same time.
tazard··on Digg SSL cert expired, tree falls in the forest
I haven't thought about digg for ages. I can't access any stories or anything I'm that site still.
tazard··on Open Source Game Clones
Hey cool! I made one of these too. If anyone is interested in minesweeper: https://minesweeper.zone/

And the GitHub:

https://github.com/reed-jones/minesweeper_js

Doesn't work well on Mobile unfortunately, but it's pretty good for killing time in desktop (if I do say so myself)

tazard··on Show HN: This page is a truly naked, brutalist HTML quine
With the experience of Chrome, neither do input tags. In fact I believe only 'container' elements are supposed to.
tazard··on Waterfox Browser
When you go to the blog/web log on the. Org site, it redirects you too the .net site, so I would guess the .net is the legit one
tazard··on Show HN: Volument – A new take on website analytics
I would learn how to use the tool. If I like it I might recommend it at work, where $50/month is not a crazy price for a project.
tazard··on New iPod touch delivers even greater performance
This is what I thought too. I generally develop React native apps on an Android device + iOS sim. Then before launch I borrow an iPhone from a friend or coworker for a quick test. This is a nice entry point to a physical iOS device
tazard··on macOS X GateKeeper Bypass
Zooming works on both Chrome & Firefox for me. (Android)
tazard··on Show HN: A renderless and extendable rich-text editor for Vue.js
I mean, I prefer Vue for reasons, but I'm pretty sure you can do that with React too...
tazard··on OP-Z Synthesizer
I've been sucking at music for over 20 years, but I still think it's fun. I think I agree with the 10 year mean though.
tazard··on Antergos Linux Project Ends
I've done many full Arch installs (but never antegros), but it's always the little things that I forget to do, then look into what's the new best way to do it, then fall down the ricing rabbit hole. Although it's fun it's also nice just to have a full system installed with no fuss. Ubuntu is fine for that, but I inevitably get the itch for something different. These spin offs let me cheat into a full setup desktop that works great from day one. No more 'I forgot to Auto Mount USB drives' or whatever. Plus it's fun to see how someone else sets it up and get some fresh ideas.
tazard··on Hertz bug leads to people being erroneously arrested and jailed
(from movies) I think it's usually the 'tail light' and it's so they can smash it when the walk by. I've never heard of a break light being out either.
tazard··on Show HN: An emoji dictionary written in Svelte/Rust
Me to, but I think this is much better!
tazard··on Maybe we could tone down the JavaScript
Oh easy! Awesome!
tazard··on Maybe we could tone down the JavaScript
Expanding the textbox can, but how would you set focus to another element with css? Genuinely curious, I have just learned about :target and am having this exact scenario in a project of mine.
tazard··on Apple apologizes for continued reliability problems with its MacBook keyboards
2 more USB ports costs an extra $500? It's strange because a $15 USB hub plugged into the USB ports works fine. It must be lack of internal space due to not including a touchbar... Wait that doesn't make sense either...
tazard··on Fluent Terminal – Open-source, native Windows 10 tabbed terminal
Maybe you are thinking of hyper? Cmder is based on conEmu as far is I know
tazard··on A eulogy for every product Google has killed (145 and counting)
I have never used dart, but always thought it looked interesting. Can I ask what you don't like about it?
tazard··on Nvidia's $99 Jetson Nano Is an AI Computer for DIY Enthusiasts
From the toaster projects author's website [1]

> So, firstly, yes, I realise toasting bread over a fire would’ve been a lot easier. But was a piece of toast (or designing a better toaster) really the point of this project?

tazard··on Show HN: Mixing WebGL and HTML, Both Rendered Out in React
They work perfectly fine on Firefox for Android v65.0.1
tazard··on React Native Open Source Update
That sounds to me like you are describing "Progressive Enhancement", PWA's are different. To answer your question, according to Wikipedia the name got coined in 2015. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_applications
tazard··on License Plate Detection Without Machine Learning
Often to get off the road, people pull up and drive right into the snow bank. After it's been plowed and it settles, it can get quite hard.
tazard··on Show HN: Zero – A fast, zero-configuration server for React, Node.js, Markdown
Hey, that looks cool too. Thanks for sharing it!
tazard··on Are there any cheap but good Cloud Servers for students?
Depending what you need, I've been happy with the lowest RamNode server, about $15/year.
