bean-weevil··on I Lost $210 to a Stripe Dispute Despite Proof
Invalidate the tickets without notifying the customer. That way they travel and everything only to be turned away at the venue.
bean-weevil··on I Don't Have Spotify
I knew about this ahead of time. I was kinda going through it mentally at the time and I didn't have the energy to negotiate.

This is the strategy most of my coworkers take. On principle, I'm just not willing to lie to a project and tell them I have the right to contribute my work under their license.

You're correct, I signed a contract that says they own my free time. I didn't exactly want to, and I firmly believe it's wrong. Nevertheless, it's easy to say I fucked up when you don't know my exact situation. This is my first job and there are a lot of other benefits that made it the best option for me personally, even when there were alternatives that had no such clause.

Unfortunately it's not uncommon here.
bean-weevil··on I Don't Have Spotify
I'm not done trying to convince them. They're small enough that I think I have a legitimate chance.

Unfortunately I live in Texas.

It would be fantastic if this site were a pwa that supported the chrome api [1] that lets you share directly to it on android. I would make a pr but my company owns all my ip and getting an exception takes months :(

bean-weevil··on Furilabs Linux Phone
I agree that it's definitely too tall but I don't agree that it's too thick. It has a removable battery which fully justifies the thickness imo.
bean-weevil··on Patent troll Sable pays up, dedicates all its patents to the public
You're right, it's redundant. Cloudflare gets the sane rights under the dedication as they do from the license.
bean-weevil··on Font with Built-In Syntax Highlighting
Yes, pretty disastrously: https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/354840/

As you have guessed, this used a rendering feature that was not pure.

bean-weevil··on Ly: Display Manager with Console UI
logout is unreachable here because the previous command is exec
bean-weevil··on Ask HN: Can we blame Windows for CrowdStrike outage?
On my work machine, crowdstrike is using ebpf. Not loading any kernel modules.

bean-weevil··on I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own
I had a very similar experience. I spent so much time searching for answers, early-adopted atom, etc, only to find that vim was the answer the whole time.
bean-weevil··on Ask HN: Degoogling in 2024
Which one are you using, and how's it treating you? I've been thinking about biting the bullet and going this route for a while.
bean-weevil··on Xz: Can you spot the single character that disabled Linux landlock?
That's exactly right. It was checking if the c code compiled to detect the landlock feature, and there was a single period in the middle of the code that made it always fail to compile and thus silently leave the feature disabled.
bean-weevil··on Programs written in Golang have no secrets
So this lets you circumvent AV detection. How long until they add detections for this too?
bean-weevil··on Copy/paste plain text should be the default
I have a keyboard shortcut that opens my clipboard in neovim. Then, it's as simple as ggVGgJ:wq
bean-weevil··on Rebuilding memchess.com from its archive
It works for me on Firefox android (but maybe that's because there's nothing to scroll)
bean-weevil··on I created an ephemeral group chat app for strangers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting

The author of the site was naughty and didn't do any sanitization :) They said they've fixed it in another comment, though.

bean-weevil··on Pitivi – Free video editor with a beautiful and intuitive user interface
KDEnlive used to be awful about this, but it's a lot better now. I haven't had crashes in ages.
bean-weevil··on Scrambling eggs for Spotify with Knuth's Fibonacci hashing
I wish they had a setting to go back to the Fischer-Yates shuffle.
bean-weevil··on Two photographers captured the same millisecond in time (2018)
I'm surprised that the exif data was accurate to the millisecond. Quartz clocks won't typically maintain that precision over the course of a single day.
