Dahoon··on Winding down my Debian involvement (2019)
Funnily I feel the exact opposite. I see Debian as Stable while most other development these days are like webdesign: Learn a tool or framework and start using it - but wait! There's a better one out now and hey look at this shiny new tool. I like stable.

Look at the other comments at the same level. No need to add what has already been said.
Dahoon··on NSA Spied on Denmark as It Chose Its Future Fighter Aircraft: Report
They use signal.
Dahoon··on NSA Spied on Denmark as It Chose Its Future Fighter Aircraft: Report
Your comment reads like you only read the first sentence. Nothing you said disproves the facts he stated.
Dahoon··on Apple's 15% Deflection Tactic
Not surprising that people that make money on this is more shortsighted than HNers that doesn't.
Dahoon··on NSA Spied on Denmark as It Chose Its Future Fighter Aircraft: Report
My wish-list: EU, PRC, USA, Russia - in that order. The US has had its chance.
Dahoon··on Games released before PS4 are no longer appearing in search on PlayStation.com
>At the same time, on PC I can play almost any game it has existed in PC history.

What you are saying is really:

>At the same time, on X86 I can play almost any game it has existed in X86 history.

What you could compare to if you want apples to apples could be how many old ARM games you can play on X86 or how many old X86 games you can play on ARM.

Dahoon··on Apple Announces App Store Small Business Program
Feels a bit like whataboutism. Especially since Apple is worse than Google now.

At least condemn those that have a history of malice. Innocent as default does not work for businesses PR. Especially not for FAANG.
Dahoon··on We can do better than DuckDuckGo
At the very least your example is PII which you cannot save and also claim to be Private.
Dahoon··on We can do better than DuckDuckGo
Clearly neither did you as he is correct. DDGs crawler is not a crawler like googlebot.
Dahoon··on We can do better than DuckDuckGo
DDG search costs the same as google search.
Dahoon··on We can do better than DuckDuckGo
Does Google search results work for you? If yes, then I'd say the reason is you don't see or agree with how bad results are today (as others have posted extensively about). I for one find DDG as the search engine that returns the worst results. Qwant is a better Bing-using engine IMO but it is still bad.
Dahoon··on Bypassing Firewalls in macOS Big Sur
Saying "the EU wants to backdoor encryption" is like saying "the USA wants to backdoor encryption" when one working group is talking about it. "The EU" doesn't want backdoors in encryption just like American politicians don't all agree with trump's Twitter mania.
Dahoon··on Bypassing Firewalls in macOS Big Sur
Even an external firewall can't easily block everything. Just send telemetry over port 443 to an AWS server and most can't block it. You can't trust a device that need an outgoing firewall.
Dahoon··on The first open-source ventilator tested on human patients
They should just go for markets that aren't made up of lawyers that want to sue everyone and medical companies that want to rip everyone off. So somewhere outside the US. The EU would likely be a more welcoming market for open source.
Dahoon··on When 13.3 is greater than 14
16:10 is A4 paper.
Dahoon··on GFXBench: Apple M1
It is actually worse than a 1050TI but it is better than a 1050TI in MacOS. It is a meaningless comparison when the GPU is half as fast in the OS tested compared to the same GPU in Windows. In other words: People are cherry-picking the results they like.
Dahoon··on GFXBench: Apple M1
Please don't do that on HN.
Dahoon··on GFXBench: Apple M1
If it will only be available in phones then it should clearly be compared to phone SoCs. If it will be in laptops too it should be compared to laptops/PC too of course.
Dahoon··on Qwant: The Search Engine That Respects Your Privacy
So just like Qwant except no ties to the US.
Dahoon··on Qwant: The Search Engine That Respects Your Privacy
Startpage.com's new owner makes it less private than doing a search on Facebook while logged into your Google Chrome account.
Dahoon··on Guido van Rossum joins Microsoft
It is an open secret that Apple is doing all these privacy things for two reasons: PR and for setting themselves up as the only choice for ads for iOS users (which will soon include Mac). How anyone can just look past this (and that they jumped into NSAs arms and shared everything) baffels the mind. Apple is in no way less evil than Facebook or Google.
Dahoon··on Guido van Rossum joins Microsoft
No worse in 2020 than JavaScript..
Dahoon··on Qwant: The Search Engine That Respects Your Privacy
I just did a search on our business and the results were not the same, just like DDG and Bing isn't the same. From best to worst result on the same search string:

Google > Startpage > Qwant > Bing > DDG

But even if they were 100% identical, it has some privacy unlike 3 out of the other 4.

Dahoon··on macOS unable to open any non-Apple application
Stop spamming FUD.

It wasn't a secret (not that it makes it any better):

Dahoon··on Apple Silicon M1 chip in MacBook Air outperforms high-end 16-inch MacBook Pro
I can't believe HNers believe sales pitch benchmarks.
Dahoon··on Apple's Shifting Differentiation
If GP meant real word usage I can only agree. I really cannot see how iPhones feel faster. In my hands they clearly do not.
