chunsj··on South Korean telecom company attacks torrent users with malware
South Korean internet had been one of the best and fast network in the world; especially up to the point before KT was privatized. After privatization, three internet service providers have been focusing on exploiting profits, not on making better and faster network infrastructure because they don't have to.
chunsj··on C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
It seems that the code is the result of the ObjC preprocessor. :-)
chunsj··on Veritasium: The SAT Question Everyone Got Wrong [video]
Why should we take the meaning of revolution in this problem not as the contacting point to meet the circle again, but just as the pointing the same direction? I think this is the source of confusion here.

I'm not the native speaker of English and I might take the meaning of "revolution" very absurdly here. Just curious and I have to ask this. :-)

chunsj··on Llamafile lets you distribute and run LLMs with a single file
If my reading is correct, this literally just distribute an LLM model and code, and you need to do some tasks - like building - to make it actually run, right?

And for this, you need to have additional tools installed?

chunsj··on (learn 'scheme)
The only thing I miss is that the editor does not support structured editing. Lisp needs one, period.
chunsj··on Show HN: Minum – A minimal Java web framework
Why does almost all the Java based web development framework use "template" system, instead of generating HTML from code(like Flutter/Swift)? Is this due to the inherent limitation of Java language/syntax?
chunsj··on Learn Physics with Functional Programming
If it has an implementation of reverse mode automatic differentiation, then it might be possible.
chunsj··on The Screwed-O-Meter (2013)
With my email message service provider, I think, 59% of screwedness, I have.
chunsj··on The past is not true
I'm not a native speaker of English and I think I found out that the meaning of "past" in English contains the memory of someone, as well as - this might not be correct, though - factual events.

Anyway, this is a warm story, I have more belief in human being, especially as a being who has lived in Asian culture, who have learned 人間, the human, which in fact has more than mere human being, but also the one in the community of human beings.

Rhetorical, I know, but we need more love of each other, I think. :-)

chunsj··on Anytype – local-first, P2P Notion alternative
I think this is a great application/service. You can have source code, self-hosting, and construct your own network of your devices. Nice work, thank you.

Maybe some kind of P2P network support web browser - without someone's server - would be nice but this does require so much more work, I assume.

chunsj··on MVC Isn’t MVC
For OpenStep/NeXTSTEP style MVC, which is very similar to the original MVC, is well explained in the book "OpenStep for Enterprises", https://www.amazon.com/OpenStep-Enterprises-Nancy-Knolle-Cra... . I just cannot understand why the author says it's different from ST80 style MVC.
chunsj··on Bayes is guaranteed to overfit
We can safely say that Bayes is guaranteed to underfit compared to MLE.
chunsj··on Pharo 11
Installing and running Pharo when new release has been introduced; however, yet, Pharo does not support HiDPI screen and disappointed.

Other than this, this project and other projects dependent on this, especially, http://agilevisualization.com/ is looking great to me. Once, I had used Squeak MVC for my company's internal projects (though it has been replaced with Common Lisp applications), and Smalltalk is very productive.

chunsj··on Mercury OS
To me, this is more like UX design than OS. Or I have a big misconception on OS and UX.

Anyway this approach is interesting if this could be implemented.

chunsj··on Observable Plot: A JavaScript library for exploratory data visualization
Wow, this looks nice. Thank you!

I've been using GNUPlot in drawing chart in emacs. Plot has much better examples and I'd like to try this instead.

chunsj··on Observable Plot: A JavaScript library for exploratory data visualization
Are there anything similar to this https://github.com/yinshanyang/cli-d3 for Plot?
chunsj··on FerretDB: open-source MongoDB alternative
I don’t think it is that matter whether a license is OSI compliant or not. The more important one is whether it is a Free Software License compliant like GPL3 preferably.
chunsj··on Learning Verilog and FPGA
In my case, building a miner and computation accelerator with FPGA boards really help me understanding the applications of FPGA. Though I have started learning HDL languages to build digital circuits, to me, that' not such an interesting subject, however, accelerated computing with FPGA had been very interesting experience.
chunsj··on South Korea’s online security dead end
Neither, this should not be an example/a cautionary tale against government regulation. This is an example of wrong/invalid kind of regulation which other countries should not follow. We, SK, could not fixed this problem because the private sector (companies who pursuit their private interest and against public interest) depending on the wrong/invalid regulation has lobbied and prevented several attempts to fix the regulation. So, this is not a problem of regulation or motivation or even knowledge; this is more of the problem of capitalism.
chunsj··on Ukraine officially recognized the Northern Territories as part of Japan
For the Japan, the War criminals of WW2?
chunsj··on DBOS: A database-oriented operating system
OS/400?
chunsj··on Abcdesktop – a cloud native desktopless system
Running a web browser already requires a substantial desktop system.
chunsj··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
Most of the case, "different views" are not different; simply, they are just wrong ones. When people says "limit free speech", it's intended to limit these. Liberalism is meaningless without under democratic control.
chunsj··on User beware: Modified AGPLv3 removes freedoms, adds legal headaches
Whomever the legal expertise writes the license, the court can always invalidate it. Is this normal?
chunsj··on GPD Pocket 3 – Handheld PC with KVM and RS-232
Handheld PC should have the size of comfortable thumb typing. This is just mini laptop, not a handheld PC.
chunsj··on DuckDuckGo’s quest to prove online privacy is possible
I just cannot understand this statement of how DuckDuckGo's quest proves online privacy is possible; at least here in South Korea, DuckDuckGo has been under the control of arbitrary censoring of government which means the communication is under watch.
chunsj··on Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse unless they give 30% of creator earning
I think not using Apple platform is the way to go if you cannot agree their ToS.
chunsj··on Apple, Mozilla, Google, Microsoft form group to standardize browser plug-ins
So basically they just want to keep support for the security holes. In here, South Korea, under the name of security, installation of several kind of Active-X and unknown binaries is forced and they ar e suspected to being used in collecting private information of users.

By stopping supporting these kind of security holes internet would be better place.

chunsj··on Mozilla plans to remove the Compact Density option from Firefox's Customize menu
Yet, Mozilla cannot fix the fullscreen mode problem in macOS (automatic hiding of toolbar). And they are just redecorating toolbar.
chunsj··on Military seizes control in Myanmar
Freedom alone is not democracy; that's just liberalism. Social justice, economic equality and others including political power control from people are important part of democracy.
