denysonique··on Perspective: Open Source WebAssembly-Powered BI
Seems like another website on the HN frontpage today not working with Firefox.

(my previous comment regarding this issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35441337#35454074)

denysonique··on Liberating the MacBook Air 2013 with Linux
The only remaining bit is a Linux driver making the trackpad as smooth as under macOS.
denysonique··on Show HN: Ermine.ai – Record and transcribe speech, 100% client-side (WASM)
I also get this error. Unfortunately nowadays most developers forget about Firefox, this includes big sites such as Microsoft Azure Console not working under Firefox and Google Cloud Console being slow on Firefox.
denysonique··on Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
A power-only (2 wire) magnetic USB-C cable will be as safe as prior generation magnetic USB cables (it won't be more likely to damage your device)

>I get horrible shin splints

One should avoid running on concrete pavements. Consider alternatives such as grass or tarmac.

denysonique··on Tell HN: I was laid off from my job and I feel better than ever
What the new compensation like in the new company versus the old one?
denysonique··on De-cloud and de-k8s – bringing our apps back home
Seems like the name of their container shipping tool Mrsk is inspired by Maersk a leading container shipping company from Denmark.
denysonique··on AI is most important tech advance in decades
HN title is clickbait, it should be rename to the actual title of the webpage: "Bill Gates: AI is most important tech advance in decades"
denysonique··on Full-Stack TypeScript with tRPC and React
Yes, without any problems. It scales really well.
denysonique··on Reddit is currently down
Since various tech layoffs I noticed major sites either being slower to browse or experiencing outages more often.
denysonique··on Full-Stack TypeScript with tRPC and React
For APIlessness I highly recommend Telefunc[1] over tRPC. Telefun is seamless. 1: https://telefunc.com/
denysonique··on No Lodash
https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Unders... seems to be a more readable alternative to this website.
denysonique··on GraphQL vs. REST APIs: a complete guide
For JavaScript based projects TeleFunc[1] can make development way simpler by 'removing' the need for an API.

denysonique··on DuckDB: Querying JSON files as if they were tables
You can also do this with AlaSQL.js which apart from being able to run SQL against JSON and also works with CSV and XSLS, just include it using a script tag or import it as a node module.
denysonique··on Swarm M138 Modem
We are in 2023, yet web developers still think that hijacking scrolling functionality of a web browser is a good thing.
denysonique··on <3 Deno
Have a look at https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx

tsx is a CLI command (alternative to node) for seamlessly running TypeScript & ESM, in both commonjs & module package types.

It's powered by esbuild so it's insanely fast.

I also suggest using its alias: esno

denysonique··on The Science of Wi-Fi on Airplanes (2019)
I think that out of the fourty european airines about two of them offer inflight wifi and I remember this being available only fon longhaul, i.e. transatlantic flights.
denysonique··on The Science of Wi-Fi on Airplanes (2019)
In Europe we don't even think that such thing as WiFi on a plane is something possible.
denysonique··on How we plan to de-extinct the Dodo bird
This website breaks reader mode as well as the increase font size button on Safari iOS.

>I believe that OS X has memory compression turned on by default.

It isn't just turned on by default, there is no way of turning it off.

denysonique··on Paper map sales are booming
If for some reason the offline google maps don't get updated and expire, you are going to be unable use them at all in a critical situation.
denysonique··on PHP in 2023
If you are the sole developer working on migrating the project and you want to have the frontend in React.js why not use Node.js/TypeScript instead of Scala for the backend? This would save you from context switching between two languages and consequently increase the development speed.

Also why the rewrite? If it works (in PHP) it works. Perhaps instead you could maybe add some frontend JS for better caption UI/UX?

Does everything have to be done in React nowadays, as opposed to plain static HTML? (Speaking as a React/Node dev myself)

denysonique··on Apple launches Self Service Repair in Europe
>Consequences of poorly performing GBP and Euro.

In the comparison I have used current exchange rates. GBP or PLN don't have a tendency to drop down by 10% overnight. I also do not see the reason why Apple couldn't offer the option to charge in USD, in Europe many banks offer currency conversion without fees for online card payments, such as Monzo in the UK.

denysonique··on Apple launches Self Service Repair in Europe
>Because back then a TV cost an arm and a leg and they broke more often. Being maintainable was a requirement for the initial sale.

Cars being a significant expense do not come today with a schematic or repair manual.

denysonique··on Apple launches Self Service Repair in Europe
The parts for the EU market seem to be more expensive than for the US.

Example, iPhone 13 Pro Max screen price:

US: $311.96

UK: $338.63 ($26.73 more expensive)

Poland: $351.35 ($39.39 more expensive)

The prices are without VAT/Sales Tax (20% for UK and 23% for Poland already deducted respectively)

denysonique··on Ziproxy: Non-caching HTTP proxy, optimizes images and minifys JavaScript/CSS
I remember having this on a VPS in the 3G/HSPA era, circa 2008-2013. It did make a difference in browsing.

Around that time some cellular operators would offer similar compression turned on by default when fetching content using their network.

denysonique··on Telefunc: Remote Functions instead of API
Meteor is a very opinionated framework. This project allows one to seamlessly add RPC to an existing frontend+backend codebase. Plus the out of the box TypeScript support for the remote procedures. I haven't seen anything similar before this.
denysonique··on Node_modules: One character saved 50 GB of disk space
This is where a file system with compression support becomes useful, such as ZFS or APFS.
denysonique··on Select * from cloud
> It uses orthogonal syntax for identical constructions

There is an alternative INSERT syntax matching the UPDATE SET one:

  INSERT INTO table SET col1='val1', col2='val2';
denysonique··on Native Linux GPU Driver for Apple M1
Amazing, now the only missing thing is a proper trackpad driver.
