throwmeariver1··on WebP is such a goated format
The problem with webp is that if you use a good jpg encoder the filesize/quality improvements are negligible especially with the higher parsing time for webp. The problem is like with x264 bad encoders from adobe.

throwmeariver1··on Ask HN: Why has Facebook stopped improving?
Every time they tried something new like with the redesigned feed and desktop site most of their users didn’t like it. Their user flow is so ingrained that they have to take losses if they want to objectively improve something. People adopt something new way easier than adapting to change of something they used for a long time. That’s one of the points why they stagnated onboarding younger people because their apps and sites feel old in regards to tiktok or discord. Facebook is the Volvo or Toyota of social networks does the job but doesn’t excite.

throwmeariver1··on Incident Report for Confluence
I guess he is trying to make jokes to lift spirits while sitting behind some senior dev who has to take a deep dive into a legacy codebase no one touched in 5 years.
throwmeariver1··on Incident Report for Confluence
The thread and the post are about a partial outtake and 70% of the affected users are not able to access their data. The comment was a snarky jab at the marketing speech. How you would read into it that the commenter meant that 70% of all Atlassian users are affected is not comprehensible.

Every HN discussion about this was rather tame and everyone respected the scope of the outtage. The only one jumping to conclusions at the moment is you.

It's going to be the same as with everything low level labor intensive jobs will go away and then rest will survive. With an AI, especially an descriptive AI like DALEE needs good instructions to give the desired results and not only a result that's ok.

throwmeariver1··on Why Remotion is a native macOS app, not Electron
Every month or after a fresh install you can't start the clock or calculator app because it needs an update. It's not even an automatic update you need to open the app to get notified that there is an update. Insane.

throwmeariver1··on Reporting Back on Mozilla’s Cryptocurrency Donation Policy
Crypto hermit yells at cloud. No matter what crypto currency you are using if there is a possibility of a 51% attack there will be state actors and if they want it hard enough they will win because in the end they control the computing and communication resources. It's just a bad concept in a centralised physical world.
throwmeariver1··on Reporting Back on Mozilla’s Cryptocurrency Donation Policy
They need 3 months to figure out to only accept proof-of-stake and now they need another 4 months to figure out which of those they want to accept? I bet they spend more time on meetings about it than they will get crypto donations in 2022.

If you made an account at any digital service before you turned 13 make a new one. I got a google account banned because I needed to update my date of birth and at the time I would not have been allowed to sign up.
