Non-corporate donors can eat shit and die poor.
arkanciscan··on User's Kindle eBook collection revoked by Amazon (2012)
I could replace her collection with torrented epubs in about a half a day.
arkanciscan··on Democrats Endorse Nuclear Energy in Platform
Of course they do; it makes money for their corporate donors.
arkanciscan··on Why Every City Feels the Same Now
Every place feels the same because every place is the same place; Earth. I can assure you that the only people who have even been to a different place have no trouble remembering which place they are in.
arkanciscan··on Ask HN: How to do cross platform GUI?
Web.
arkanciscan··on US Border Patrol says they can create central repository of traveler emails
"US tax dollars paying to store petabytes of porn, news at eleven"
arkanciscan··on US Border Patrol says they can create central repository of traveler emails
My takeaway; they have to search for porn first because they can't be amassing a huge porn collection, so store your sensitive info in your porn folder!

arkanciscan··on Ask HN: What is a science fact that blew your mind when you learned it?
That mitochondria have their own DNA and used to be separate organisms. Or when I heard that trees feed each other and fungi through their roots.
arkanciscan··on My kid can’t handle a virtual education, and neither can I
Watching parents realize that taxpayer funded daycare is the only thing making parenting tolerable has been my favorite part of the pandemic. It almost makes up for the taxes.

Downvotes make me laugh harder!

arkanciscan··on Amazon Braket – Amazon Web Services
So now the only thing stopping me from programming a quantum computer is thinking of any damned thing to do with it. Innovative new ways to feel ineffectual!

AKA Wednesday
arkanciscan··on An Update to How We Address Movements and Organizations Tied to Violence
FB finds keeps finding innovative new ways for me to hate them. True pioneers.
arkanciscan··on What’s Flying Above Us?
But why no website?
arkanciscan··on Can't you just right click?
I don't understand how anyone with self-respect uses AAPL products. I guess it's true what they say about fools and their money.
arkanciscan··on Ask HN: Why is Reddit on mobile so obsessed with making me use their app?
Because we live in the worst possible timeline
arkanciscan··on Facebook account now required to login to Oculus devices
I get all my games from Codex and Fitgirl. No multiplayer, but you don't want that anyway.
arkanciscan··on What’s Flying Above Us?
I love what you're doing, but where's your website? You've got Twitter bots, but I'm not on Twitter, and a Siri integration but I don't own AAPL products. It makes me sad to see such useful data siloed in closed platforms.
arkanciscan··on Popular seafood species in sharp decline around the world
Time to start eating Jellyfish!
arkanciscan··on Notepad++ is now banned in China
Badge of honor!
arkanciscan··on Apple, Epic, and the App Store
First of all; Yes in my opinion.

But just as a devil's advocate; what about rentals? You can't just put new wheels on your ZipCar. If we made locked platforms illegal, they would simply become rentals. But at least it would be explicit then.

arkanciscan··on Web by Google (TM)
The original web didn't even have images, but you think they should have just invented the most advanced neural net ever built instead of urls? Monday morning quarterbacks...
arkanciscan··on Handwritten.js – Convert typed text to realistic handwriting
I'd imagine a OCR could probably manage to consume it, but you could also mark it up with fallback text for screen readers. Everything inflates document size, and that's okay, it's what documents are for!
arkanciscan··on The best way to exercise self-control is not to exercise it at all
the eighteenth-century essayist Samuel Johnson. When a friend urged him “ to take a little wine,” Dr. Johnson explained, “I can’t drink a little , child; therefore I never touch it. Abstinence is as easy to me, as temperance would be difficult.”
arkanciscan··on Apple takes legal action against small company with pear logo
Thanks Webster
arkanciscan··on Trump Signs Executive Order Giving ByteDance 90 Days to Sell US TikTok Business
If that happened I'd vote for the bastard
arkanciscan··on [dead]
I hate this website...
arkanciscan··on The Least Liked Programming Languages
Familiarity breeds contempt
arkanciscan··on On-Device Supermarket Product Recognition
People who can't recognize products on a shelf often can't use a touchscreen either. I live with a Boomer and he can't even use a Chromecast because he can't see his screen, let alone use screen readers or voice commands.
arkanciscan··on Single Page Applications using Rust
And some HTML as well. Yew seems to use a JSX-like template language, but it's got to hit the DOM eventually. Then you're gonna need to handle Events and style with CSS. How do you handle errors? What does all this look like in DevTools? People act like JS is the worst part of web development which is simply naive.
