2h··on Aurora Store Accounts Blocked by Google
I'm not really confused, the original comment is just vague. they are looking for these apps, and are only aware of the official client, and other shady sites. I am giving an alternative that can be trusted, since it downloads directly from Google, without using the official app.
2h··on Fluent 2 Design System
this doesn't hold water. on the exact website you are on right now, the frame has a maximum width, which my monitor is wider than. so the bars could easily be as wide or wider than they are on Windows 10:

Windows 11 is about 1/3 the width of the above picture

its not a matter of liking it. at least on desktop, its objectively, scientifically bad:

2h··on Fluent 2 Design System
I am not interested in anything Microsoft has to say about design.

They haven't had a consistent OS UI since at least 2009. and they seem hell bent on removing all vertical scroll bars, or reducing the size until they are pointless. why do you need to hide the vertical scrollbars, and even on hover they are 4 pixels wide? I have dual 27 inch monitors, I HAVE THE SCREEN SPACE. stop fucking up my shit.

> You're not wrong, but that method is way more involved in every way

I didn't say it was an easy way, I said it was another way. and you dont need a golang environment to run, only to build.

No, that's not true:

notice that the SQLite package isn't used directly, its only imported to handle the database behind the scenes. all the actual code is written using only the standard library

2h··on Tracking Blocked Scripts
> So people should pay their rent, how?

It's not the end users job to answer that question.

2h··on Tracking Blocked Scripts
Ad blocking is the anti virus of this generation.

If someone is using ad blocking, especially with custom rules, they are saying, loud and clear, they DON'T WANT most JavaScript running.

web developers should just respect that and move on, not try everything the browser allows in order to ram it down their throats. Theres really no excuse for it. with browsers essentially acting as operating systems these days, you're basically trying to justify malware.

2h··on Conditional CSS with:has and:nth-last-child
Sadly I think people will look back on CSS 3 as the peak of the standard.

people keep pushing, and pushing and pushing to add more and more crap to CSS. they want to make CSS Turing complete, if it isn't already. If you want to style with a programming language, JavaScript has been around for two decades people. with each addition to CSS, you just make it that much slower. people wont stop until CSS can do email:

2h··on Show HN: A little web server in C
> option types

Go couldn't have Option before, and it cant have option now. Option is not only generic, but its also an Enum, which Go still doesn't have:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html

so its not really clear what you mean by this.

2h··on Show HN: A little web server in C
> you end up boxing your values to place into collections rather than letting the compiler monomorphize it.

you know that Go has interfaces right? and I dont just mean the "any" interface. you can write your own interface similar to io.Reader and others, then add types that implement that interface, then no type matching is needed.

> non-generic legacy cruft

AKA normal, fine code. generic code is not some magic pixie dust that makes bad code into good code. plenty of awful bloated slow generic code around as well.

2h··on Show HN: A little web server in C
never mind than MANY people dont need generics, and that generics have a significant compilation and runtime cost, in terms of time and memory. who cares right?

and never mind that Go has had generics for over a year now right? sometimes having a small, stripped down language is better than having a huge bloated monster. I would point to examples, but you know what they are.

2h··on Verifying Dynamic Trait Objects in Rust (2022)
cool much thanks, one more reason to move to Rust hehe - since "let else" was added its looking pretty attractive
2h··on Verifying Dynamic Trait Objects in Rust (2022)
question for all you Rust people. does Rust have a way to use interfaces like Go? For example with Go I can do this:

    package hello
    
    type namer interface {
       first() string
       last() string
    }
    
    func name(n namer) string {
       return n.first() + " " + n.last()
    }
I think I saw on a blog post that Rust can only do this with some hacks, is that true?
2h··on How Does a TLS Handshake Work?
I wrote a small TLS package in Go, uses only standard library. Also allows to mimic devices in order to bypass fingerprinting

2h··on Instead of your Life's Purpose (2021)
Sorry man, but you're projecting. I'm not rich, but I have enough to survive, and some of the code I'm writing literally doesn't have any other public implementations, so to me it's important that I keep going.
2h··on Instead of your Life's Purpose (2021)
its not a vocation for me, its a passion. if you're approaching programming just to make money, yeah, you're probably going to have a terrible time.

thats not why I am doing it.

2h··on Instead of your Life's Purpose (2021)
for me its programming. I first learned Go in 2020, and what I discovered is how much help is needed.

you would think in this day you can get any code for anything you want, but many, many items have no implementation at all. or maybe some code is available, but its years old and abandoned. or maybe its just shitty code. or maybe its a huge bloated mess and you just want one simple thing. so, if you think you might have some skill, I would strongly suggest learning to program, we could really use the help.

2h··on Baseline: a unified view of stable web features
Yes, well said. We should just force updates upon users. Block all websites unless user is on latest version, and close the source code to prevent compiling older versions.

Can't be too careful.

2h··on Baseline: a unified view of stable web features
100% agree. This is such an idiotic standard, they might as well stop lying and just say the truth: "if you're not on auto update, fuck you".

What's worse is people copycat this "baseline", and if you try to argue sanity, they just say "sure it's what Chrome/Firefox recommend" without knowing or caring that they are only supporting months old browsers now. It's madness.

> Does the Pixel Tablet have a cellular plan option?

> No, the Pixel Tablet is only available with Wi-Fi connectivity.

and I am out. we have about 300 iPads at work, and I would be interested in swapping some to this, but it MUST have cellular data, no exception. otherwise its just a toy. Dumb move Google.
