danielhlockard··on Mozilla's latest quagmire
Another user said this, but I'm going to echo it -- Firefox opened up the LLM chat sidebar one time. I closed it. It's stayed closed. It hasn't asked me to open it again. I don't understand the hatred for something you can just _not use_. People will use it if they want to. Firefox also has a very tiny market share in comparison to other browsers.
danielhlockard··on I have recordings proving Coinbase knew about breach months before disclosure
You say that but I work in fintech (granted, one of the larger more corporate ones, after an acquisition) and we are heavily regulated, and audited.
danielhlockard··on SSL Configuration Generator
Is there some specific reason to use Chrome v80?
danielhlockard··on LD_PRELOAD, The Invisible Key Theft
dear lord. This is not new. ld_preload to do things like this existed even back when I was doing Cyber Defense Competitions at Iowa State back in '07
danielhlockard··on The Original Macintosh: Calculator Construction Set
Sure, but why not HN of all places? Things get re-posted here all the time when they are relevant again. I'm not new by any means but I didn't know this.
danielhlockard··on QModem 4.51 Source Code
Friel, It's no surprise to see you here posting this. This is so cool to see, thank you for preserving this. A fitting tribute.
danielhlockard··on Some programming language ideas
I had a professor who is responsible for a lot of the more "modern" MUMPS stuff (lets be real, MUMPS is OLD!). Guy was pretty unbearable too.
danielhlockard··on Xz: Can you spot the single character that disabled Linux landlock?
Truly seems that way currently. He said he'd really dig in starting next week and just checked his email on vacation and saw this whole mess.
danielhlockard··on Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
no. unlikely.
danielhlockard··on Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp
Hey Mitchell,

Best of luck in the future! I'm a nobody - but I was around in the packer days and wrote a post-processor and terraform provider for our vsphere back in the day. I don't think I'd be where I am now without those experiences. Thanks!

danielhlockard··on Someone is trying to rebuild Friendster
I can't imagine it wouldn't be easier to build something like early FaceBook today. There was no GCP / AWS / Azure / whatever back then. We were still racking servers, and we liked it.
danielhlockard··on When an app asks for permissions, it should have a “feed fake data” option
As someone who works in banking - We don't show anything other than login and enrollment (and maybe a link for account opening, if the FI has it). Apple has yet to complain.
danielhlockard··on Laravel 9
I fail to see how this is related at all to laravel.
danielhlockard··on Show HN: Social network that looks and works more like a forum
Bro stop spamming your stuff on HN and figure out how to use fucking padding. All of our posts are slammed left and it looks like there's CSS missing.
danielhlockard··on I moved this blog from Medium, here
This really seems like spam. None of these apps are real and your "product" is kind of sad really.
danielhlockard··on Collection of V.90/V.92 modem sounds (2016)
The university I went to still had a modem bank around 2007. Pretty wild.
danielhlockard··on Pixel prevented me from calling 911
fixed?
danielhlockard··on Pixel prevented me from calling 911
I say this as a former android dev, whose app was #1 in paid A/V apps back when Flash was still a thing... Couldn't convince me to use and android device these days.
danielhlockard··on Implementing secure leaderboards for my game
A) use a dang ad blocker. It's 2021.

B) I loaded the page without an adblocker and didn't see anything phish-y or inappropriate.

danielhlockard··on USPS Begins Postal Banking Pilot Program
USPS stock price? Remind me which stock symbol that is.
danielhlockard··on Ship / Show / Ask: A modern branching strategy
Honestly -- I work in a regulated environment. We'd fail audits without 2 :eyes: on every PR
danielhlockard··on Epic tests Apple with new request: let us relaunch Fortnite in Korea
So true. Starcraft was the "self-proclaimed" national sport of South Korea for quite some time.
danielhlockard··on Apple to Allow Media Apps to Link to Own Websites for Payment Options
I think this is a naive approach. Yes, a lot of us on HN are software capable folks but you have to consider the attack surface that is convincing your parents, grandparents, etc to install some custom app that is malicious. Apple would never. Payments is one thing, side-loading on an iPhone is something else entirely.
danielhlockard··on GitNFT: Autograph and sell your GitHub commits as NFTs
I'm probably in the minority on this orange site but... I do not get why anyone would every buy an NFT. It just seems pointless.
danielhlockard··on Don’t use environment variables for configuration
Or you could, you know, auth to vault and pull the creds from vault inside of your app?
danielhlockard··on If you miss an Apple Card payment, Apple disables all your Apple accounts
No interest if you pay off the balance of the card every month. Tons of people do it.
danielhlockard··on A love letter to ISC bind
I gotta agree with you - I have been running services on the internet for 13 years now. I learned bind, I loved bind, I didn't think at all about separating what it did. If you knew its config file syntax, you could make it do it all, and easily.
danielhlockard··on Java Concurrency – Understanding the Basics of Threads
The font colors in the code examples are quite hard to read on my machine. `public class Main {` is so dark that I have to highlight to read
danielhlockard··on Dropbox Converts to Permanent WFH
Yes, except this is private to IBM employees. Helpful when you're in an industry with a lot of regulatory / compliance oversight.
danielhlockard··on Changes to SameSite Cookie Behavior – A Call to Action for Web Developers
Clear it from your HSTS cache, I bet you're setting that in the app when https is hit.
