ambigious7777··on Execute any JavaScript from any browser tab on any browser tabs
I know pretty much nothing about web extensions, but isn't it possible to add custom DevTools functions, like getEventListeners() or copy() in Chrome, without the page being accessed?
ambigious7777··on Cyclist hit by driverless Waymo car in San Francisco, police say
This.

I've seen all of those walkable cities, green cities, etc... For the most part, I think that staying away from driving is a good idea. If we could have cities planned out so that anything would just be a few minutes walk away, that would solve so many problems.

A car-independent society would have many improvements. Even for medium distance travel, we could have trains and such.

ambigious7777··on Should error messages apologize? (2013)
Reminds me of the time when we switched around all the icons on the desktop (ie chrome => file explorer, recycle bin => vlc) of my friend's laptop. He eventually gave up and launched the programs from command line.
ambigious7777··on The Ladybird browser project
I may just be being dumb here, but what is a pushover license?
ambigious7777··on TiddlyWiki – A non-linear personal web notebook
The entire site is actually compiled into one HTML file, you can download an offline version by doing CTRL+S.
ambigious7777··on What happened with the Web Monetization API?
unfortunately, looks like Monero just crashed from Binance delisting it for security reasons. hopefully it manages to recover.
ambigious7777··on How I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (2019)
I would absolutely recommend Typst.

I've somewhat recently switched to it for my notes from LaTeX, and it's really a lot easier to type then TeX.

For the most part, Typst is sort of like Markdown, but more stuff.

ambigious7777··on WA House bill would make it illegal for police to lie during interrogations
Plenty might be an overstatement, but the case you linked is quite ridiculous.

The boy was for one, unarmed and they decide to start shooting (eleven times!!) at him? I cannot imagine what those people were thinking.

ambigious7777··on The business of check cashing
(non-american here)

Huh? Why? Isn't the USPS a mail company? I don't get what that has to do with banking.

ambigious7777··on I realized chess pieces can be redesigned to be geometric attack directions
When I was younger, I always believed that the proper name was for the knight was "horse" (my primary language is English). I only figured it out when I was playing chess against my friend, and he was like, "horse? wth is that"
ambigious7777··on Clickr, or a young man's Flickr clonejure
There's a follow-up post which is pretty good too: https://jmglov.net/blog/2024-01-22-clickr-goes-fe.html
ambigious7777··on Clicks – Physical keyboard for iPhone
Although I agree that it should probably better state it's products intention; I don't see why you would think it's a software, as the graphics show an external keyboard and it heavily advertises larger screen space.
ambigious7777··on Ask HN: Is it advisable to write a back end using Node.js in 2024?
What's wrong with JavaScript? There are many instances of it being used (at large scale too). I've also never heard of Python, Go, and Rust being the "holly three", what makes them so good over other languages like Ruby, Java, or C#.
ambigious7777··on Ask HN: Is it advisable to write a back end using Node.js in 2024?
NodeJS definitely is viable for backends, even those large scale, and it always was.

There's also Deno, AFAIK (correct me) should also be fine.
