RedShift1··on A brief history of the Bloomberg terminal
We already see this in car interfaces. Clearly designed by people that don't drive, or at the very least have not tested it themselves while driving.
RedShift1··on Google Antigravity TOS: 3rd party usage can get Google account suspended
Gov. logins and services should never depend on companies like Google.
RedShift1··on Woman stranded in Spain after UK's eVisa system mistakes her for twin sister
> Whoever built this didn't test it on the ground.

God this happens all the time. Software written by people that don't use the software themselves. It has happened to me so many times, I come across a piece of software with weird bugs or interactions that would be immediately fixed if the developer just spends 5 minutes using the software like an end user would. Dogfood all the things!

RedShift1··on Show HN: Ember – Redshift safe color palettes
Aww thanks for creating a color palette just for me <3
RedShift1··on London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces
Oi, you have a loicense for that mate?
RedShift1··on Una GPS smart watch – Repairable, USB-C charging, developer-friendly
I have an Amazfit Balance 2 and it does GPS just as well as any other smartwatch and you can turn off all the body surveillance.
RedShift1··on 98.css
I hear some pops and clicks every now and then when playing music... Using Vivaldi 8.1.4087.56 (Official Build) (64-bit).
RedShift1··on 98.css
Not only flat design but also using less color. We have monitors and graphics cards that can display millions of colors now and we refuse to use it... Not that it has to look like a coloring book but sheez Windows 10 and 11 make me feel depressed.
RedShift1··on 98.css
Is there a watercolor.css? (XP beta theme).
RedShift1··on 98.css
Some car tuners are very jealous of your domain name...
RedShift1··on JEP 540: Simple JSON API (Now in Incubator)
minimal-json scratches this itch really well for me. Dead simple API. Unfortunately not maintained anymore, but I'm still using it, even for new projects, because it just works so well.
RedShift1··on Red Hat packages backdoored through its official NPM channel
List of affected packages: https://github.com/RedHatInsights/javascript-clients/issues/...
RedShift1··on Bijou64: A variable-length integer encoding
This seems quite convoluted just to avoid the "0 can be represented in more than one way" problem.
RedShift1··on Vivaldi 8.0
Which is not Firefox's fault. It's up to the operating system to provide a stable API to make things like this work.
RedShift1··on The greatest shot in television: James Burke had one chance to nail this scene (2024)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCJh5D0FCZk with the correct aspect ratio
RedShift1··on From Supabase to Clerk to Better Auth
By the time you're so big you need all of that, there will be other people at the table to "hack that in".
RedShift1··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
And 4 years old... I wouldn't buy this new
RedShift1··on Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
Is notepad++ a registered trademark?
RedShift1··on 中文 Literacy Speedrun II: Character Cyclotron
Anything similar to that for Japanese?
RedShift1··on 5NF and Database Design
Me still using bigints... Which haven't given me any problems. Wouldn't use it for client generated IDs but that is not what most applications require anyway.
RedShift1··on Microsoft hasn't had a coherent GUI strategy since Petzold
Does it need it?
RedShift1··on IPv6 address, as a sentence you can remember
I don't understand how the mapping works. An address has 8 parts and produces 16 words, so each part consists of 2 words. If we take the example 2a02, that gets encoded to "how atop", but I don't see how that text helps me that "how atop" means 2a02? Am I suppose to memorize both? How does that help?
RedShift1··on Show HN: X86CSS – An x86 CPU emulator written in CSS
Definitely in the "they didn't stop to think if they should" category.
RedShift1··on DialUp95 – A 90s inspired nostalgia hit
About 15 years ago I gave some networking courses at a local education center, it was all young kids (18-20 years old). When I told them that the speed we got back in the day was 4 kilobytes per second (56k on a good day), they didn't believe me at all.
RedShift1··on Audiophiles can't distinguish audio sent through copper, banana or mud
Forged under blue moon light for perfect electron alignment inside the wires.
RedShift1··on Audiophiles can't distinguish audio sent through copper, banana or mud
I remember Technics used to advertise with amplifiers that used bamboo somewhere in the capacitors? Always wondered if there was actual bamboo in there somewhere and what the electrical effects were...
RedShift1··on The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in USA
These american news companies are so goddamn spineless.
RedShift1··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
I'm really missing something like Cisco DMVPN. A VPN mesh between different routers where all routers have a connection to each other, so that all traffic doesn't have to pass through the hub. And that runs on a router, because all these solutions only run on a regular computer with a complete OS.
RedShift1··on DECwindows Motif
points finger you son of a bitch, I'm in.
RedShift1··on Emissary, a fast open-source Java messaging library
I'm a big fan of Guava's EventBus. Easy to implement and straightforward to understand. This library does seem to require more setup and I don't see the immediate advantages, also why does it require an instanceProvider? I don't understand what that does.
