cjohansson··on Apple Music Announces Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio
Good point, my exact experience of live concerts
cjohansson··on GitHub Actions Down
Sounds like MS, that is the only way they can get organic customers. All their popular products are originally built by someone else except Windows of course
cjohansson··on Six Years of Rust
Rust is great, would be awesome to get paid using it
cjohansson··on Neural implant lets paralyzed person type by imagining writing
This sounds so cool, I wish I could try it out, usually I never think about letters when typing, only words and they are executed by my fingers instantly non-consciously, I'm curious how this system would work with a fast-typer like myself
cjohansson··on Benchmarking division and libdivide on Apple M1 and Intel AVX512
Sounds great but being limited to using an Apple OS is a show-stopper issue. I'd rather have a less good processor and using an OS that does not put constraint onto my usage
cjohansson··on We’ll stop selling our Code Editor app for iOS soon
Librem 5 is the way forward for programmers, Apple is not for truck-drivers anymore, only for electric hooverboarders (reference to Steve Jobs talk about post-pc devices)
cjohansson··on Ask HN: What passive income investments exist to supplement your salary?
I use an automatic saving from my bank-account to a investment-robot that my bank provides that automatically buys shares in different funds, I would say it gives 10-20% back and requires zero effort, took less than an hour to setup
cjohansson··on Ask HN: What passive income investments exist to supplement your salary?
That does not sound passive to me, ideally a passive income should require minimal amount of working hours outside of ones regular job
cjohansson··on Dark Matter: The Situation Has Changed
Sounds like the DM theory is great for postdictions but not for predictions, like you can't know in advance whether it is applicable or not
cjohansson··on I Hacked Google App Engine: Anatomy of a Java Bytecode Exploit
Impressive work, Google must have been interested in your skills after this?
cjohansson··on The computers are getting better at writing
The AI generated paragraph made no sense to me and did not sound like the first. AI is like a narccisist, every other day people say it's useless and then the next it's the savior of the world.
cjohansson··on Building video chat into my personal website using WebRTC, WebSockets, and Go
The cycle repeats itself, maybe it's a successful pattern, that's why it keeps coming back..
cjohansson··on Bringing GNU Emacs to Native Code (2020)
I agree about this issue, maybe in the distant future this could be fixed as well but where will VSCode be at that stage? Probably even more miles ahead, due to MS funding. When there is good async support in Emacs a lot of packages would need to be rewritten.

However I prefer Emacs anyday over VSCode, I am very productive in Emacs because I'm used to doing almost everything in it

cjohansson··on “Shared libraries are not a good thing in general”
This sounds like an opinion that welcomes Rust and Go since they use static linking or am I wrong?
cjohansson··on The health benefits of better air
Doing like this you can prove anything you want, I don't believe in this kind of argumentation / science
cjohansson··on My Current HTML Boilerplate
"You can't argue with popularity. Well, you could, but you'd be wrong!" - Robbie Williams
cjohansson··on Backdoored password manager stole data from as many as 29K enterprises
It may be just a matter of time until LastPass gets hacked, I would suspect that the attack surface is the browser plugin
cjohansson··on Volkswagen launches its first all-electric SUV, the ID.4
Regular bikes have the benefit that they improve your health, it's not exhaustive once you get a better stamina. E-bikes are a bad product I think in todays society
cjohansson··on Semgrep: Semantic grep for code
Writing a parser for one specific version of a language is one thing (nontrivial), but writing a parser than parsed most versions of most programming languages and keeping it up-to-date is a enormous undertaking and cannot be done by one person
cjohansson··on “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”
One could probably do a paper about evil universities doing stupid things.. anyway evil actions are evil regardless of the context, research 100-yrs ago was intentionally evil without being questioned, today ethics should filter what research should be done or not
cjohansson··on Open Source Goes to Mars
Arctic Vault is better than nothing :)
cjohansson··on Robot-woven sneaker with 3D-printed soles
You can use that line of reasoning for anything, like prostitution, hitmen, drug-dealers.. Work is not necessary for surviving really, we are just used to it for some centuries
cjohansson··on Robot-woven sneaker with 3D-printed soles
I agree, the truth would never sell, I'm glad I clicked on this because it was interesting stuff even if the headline was clickbaity'
cjohansson··on Two people killed in fiery Tesla crash with no one driving
"Ah I see they died, we released a bug fix for those scenarios yesterday, just make sure to update before going on your holiday trip."
cjohansson··on Gitlet.js – Git implemented in 1k lines of JavaScript (2015)
Git can also be an offensive word just like blame. It just depends on what attitude people have towards the context. I am not offended by git, blame, master and slave and I think it would be best if people who are offended just change their attitude towards the context
cjohansson··on Akon wants to run a Senegal city on cryptocurrency
Anything with cryptocurrency and/or Rust will be a success (irony)
cjohansson··on The Meme Machine (1999)
I think meme is such a complex concept nowadays that anything can be a meme, the word has almost no meaning at all
cjohansson··on Bloom filters explained in a single image
I don't think so because that is a property of hash-maps, rather it seems to test some properties of an item to know that it is not in the set or that it might be in the set
cjohansson··on Ask HN: Why is the Linux community struggling to implement hibernation?
Yes that is because Apple promises that everything works iff you buy hardware and installation of it from them. I changed a RAM module once and hibernation stopped working, Apple says that is because it's not the identical RAM-module they sell. So their list of supported hardware is pretty small
cjohansson··on Prescriptive software is better than descriptive software
The is–ought problem is a philosophical problem of how knowledge of the present world does not necessarily lead to knowledge of how the world ought to be. This is also sometimes referred to as Hume's law or "Hume's Guillotine".[2]
