POPOSYS··on LiteSync – Easy synchronization of SQLite databases
Thank you very much for your important contribution!

There is no definition for "tangential" in that guideline.

The main reason for a website to exist is being read, so it is a cardinal issue, when this requirement is not fulfilled, not a tangential one.

I hope this keeps the discussion interesting!

POPOSYS··on Show HN: ClickHouse-local – a small tool for serverless data analytics
Is there some way to use this on Windows / MinGW shells?

  Operating system 'MINGW64_NT-10.0-18362' / architecture 'x86_64' is unsupported.

I do not like Windows, I am forced to use it where I am right now.

It would be great if software producers would finally accept the reality that there are at least three mainstream operating systems, Windows, OSX, Linux, that should be supported.

POPOSYS··on LiteSync – Easy synchronization of SQLite databases
The website has a low contrast font that is very bad to read. I need to customize the css or use some browser extension to make it readable - very annoying.

It is a bad idea to publish text in a way that makes it hard to read - please stop that.

"Low contrast" also is an indicator for people following bad trends ("fashion") without thinking. It seems like this is not something that fits your project, so you should not put yourself into a bad light with a bad design decision for your website.

Why not go to the original source, this is what the internet was made for!

Hope you can help yourself with translate services.

POPOSYS··on UnifiedPush: A decentralized, open-source push notification protocol
Simply use free Usenet Servers via Tor and post your anonymous* PGP messages to the Usenet group alt.anonymous.messages.

*You send PGP encrypted messages via Mixmaster Remailers (via Tor) and preferably use a hashed subject (hsub) so that the intended receiver(s) can filter out their messages.

Thank you very much for your hard and important work!

And a special thanks for not forcing us to use a slack channel!

Hopefully other OS projects will follow.

Good health and all the best for 2023!

POPOSYS··on AI's Jurassic Park Moment
That website makes Firefox use too much CPU and the fan of my laptop starts to scream - very annoying.

It is, of course, kind of a great joke. Never-heard-before wisdom with deep, impactful visions published on a website with "trusted insights for computing´s leading professionals" - and they just simply can not deliver decent HTML / JavaScript.

Looks like we need even more leading professionals!

POPOSYS··on Ask HN: What is the cheapest, easiest way to host a cronjob in 2022?
There is no way you can do that reliably without a K8S multi-cloud cluster.
POPOSYS··on Show HN: Infisical – open-source secrets manager
Thanks - sometimes it is so helpful to see other publish your own thoughts. I was wondering why such a product is posted here.
POPOSYS··on Show HN: Infisical – open-source secrets manager
No, you seem to use the term "secure by default" in a different way as it is expected by industry standards. Please re-align your view.

Sorry, there is no heated discussion, the issues are very clear and using ENV is a thing of the past, a bad practice that should not be propagated. Simple.
POPOSYS··on Apple introduces end-to-end encryption for backups
Would you please like to give us some URLs that explain this for people not deeply into Apple hardware - thank you very much!
POPOSYS··on VSCode remote code execution advisory
Like for any other piece of complex software!
POPOSYS··on Software horror show: SAP Concur
Can you post some reference to the Boeing software system that you are mentioning - thanks!

Is there some open source software system that does similar things?

POPOSYS··on Lastpass Security Incident
OK, wait, you still are using some other cloud password provider?
POPOSYS··on Show HN: Benthos Studio – A modern take on Yahoo Pipes
What is the difference to https://dagster.io/ ?
POPOSYS··on Ask HN: How do you fight unjust bans from online platforms?
You know you are asking on a platform that is censoring and banning comments / users?
POPOSYS··on Ruby concurrency is hard: how I became a Ruby on Rails contributor
Why are people still using programming languages where concurrency is hard?
POPOSYS··on Ask HN: How do you fight unjust bans from online platforms?
And while we are at it - how do we fight unjust NOT-bans, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727981 ?
POPOSYS··on Ask HN: How do you fight unjust bans from online platforms?
Do we have an open, decentralized platform that collects and publishes cases of bans?

Of course, every user will cry "unjust ban" while still advertising casino coins or spreading lies. So there are some questions about how such openly documented cases should be reported and how readers can get a full picture, but to me it still seems useful.

POPOSYS··on Dagger Python SDK: Develop Your CI/CD Pipelines as Code
Usually the problems occur when there are too many people between people paying for a product (and therefor paying the paycheck) and people actually working on the product.

I wondered how it related to https://dagster.io/
POPOSYS··on Toxic smog has turned India’s capital into a ‘gas chamber’
"Too Many People" is actually an idea with roots in fascist ideology, did you know that?

If you think about it, you can come to that conclusion yourself - just ask yourself, what is the ultimate ratio of this way of thinking? And who can decide between who belongs to the "too many" group and who not?

Also it is not a very analytical approach to solve problems. The problem is usually not "too many people", but people doing things in a wrong way, using old technology or doing things that should not be done at all.

POPOSYS··on CS quotes found while browsing Notepad++'s code
Isn´t it a very obvious thing to get the idea that the information of this site should not be hidden inside an ancient three-column design that resembles the antique NukeCMS (PHP)?

Why is the most important coder website build in a way that hides information so hard?

What purpose do the left and right column with empty space serve?

Once I used to install some user css to get 100% width for the content, but I got tired to do that.

How can such a design dinosaur survive for so long right in the center of "modern development tools"?

POPOSYS··on Cards of Qatar – story of migrants death
Did you really look? Two little mouse wheel scrolls down I can see the Blankenspot Articles that provide more information.

Did you read these? Or you just want to start a reasonable discussion?

POPOSYS··on Brave New Trusted Boot World
Humanity has done a great step forward in the last 50 years or so, usually you can trust the police and governments everywhere on the planet today to always do the right thing. So why this irrational fear and this anti-state ideology?

Don´t you love our modern leaders?

This should be the universal byline for all JS projects.

Make a T-Shirt with this and get rich.

POPOSYS··on When is short tenure a red flag?
I see an unrecognized bad pattern here: managers who make people leave early.

And of course you should be proud that people are leaving early some job just to get into your team!

Discussing "short tenure" as a problem is, well, short-sighted. Nobody leaves his job when the job is ok. And when the job is not OK and you now it (yes, this exists), then it is on you as a manager to make people stay anyway.

I see another pattern especially in youngster IT managers: they try to develop psycho-powers to understand how humans are programmed - this is just magical thinking. Leave the psychology to the professionals and just do your job - manage your project in a way that people like working there.
