dmak··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
Have you tried troubleshooting those issues already? I had similar visibility issues in the past, but seems to always work now for me.
dmak··on Stripe Launches L1 Blockchain: Tempo
If the banking system was compromised from war, Bitcoin still functions without them
dmak··on Meta sued by states over harmful youth marketing
That's really extreme. There are definitely better ways to manage it. Tiktok in Singapore has been very thoughtful in their approach which seems to be working.
dmak··on How to compete with Patreon
Isn't Patreon the merchant of record?
dmak··on Show HN: Free High-quality TailwindCSS Components. No attribution required
I am familiar with TW, but not familiar with this syntax. Can someone explain or link to where it explains it?
dmak··on Bun v1.0.0
DX is the key differentiator IMO.
dmak··on Ask HN: Can you end up on the “No Fly” list for putting AirTags in your luggage?
Batteries are not allowed in checked bags? I must have unintentionally broken this rule many times by bringing my electronics
dmak··on Why Tailwind CSS Won
Do you practice atomic design? It shouldn't be an issue for you if you do
dmak··on The Tetris Effect
The font makes this so difficult to read
dmak··on Ask HN: Who is hiring for remote worldwide roles
I think OPs point is most companies put "Remote", but it's restricted to a region which is usually US and usually unclear.
dmak··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2023)
What about candidates in APAC such as Japan?
dmak··on Arc Browser 1.0
"Arc is the Chrome replacement I’ve been waiting for."

I can't leave Chrome until I can replace Google's single sign on

Never bet against Apple

Wow really? This seems really surprising to me.
dmak··on Inside Google Founder Sergey Brin’s Plan to Build Airships
This is so cool! I want to ride one
dmak··on The part of Postgres we hate the most: Multi-version concurrency control
Could you share the links?
dmak··on Reflections on Migrating My SaaS to SvelteKit
Everything in React is just a function, so there is expectation of how it works. The data binding in Svelte is a bit magical and not always clear if there are race conditions, but I'm a Svelte noob trying to port my existing app to it.
dmak··on I worked at Google for -10 days
I hope Couchbase AND Larry reads this because that's messed up. I would never even consider a job there after hearing this.
dmak··on Master Plan Part 3
Ad hominems aside. I am guessing you are working in the renewable energy industry since you are pretty confident in other ways of increasing adoption. I'm not familiar on the topic, so I would like to hear from an expert like yourself. Could you elaborate how?
dmak··on Twitter's Recommendation Algorithm
Could you link to the code on github?

They might be trying to preserve the previous tag label.

Same haha

That doll popping out is creepy as hell.
dmak··on Data from Atlassian dumped online after apparent hack
Social engineering is social engineering. You're hacking humans if anything, but you're not hacking a system by definition. You can social engineer people for other reasons than hacking a system.
dmak··on Data from Atlassian dumped online after apparent hack
> Hacking is the act of identifying and then exploiting weaknesses in a computer system or network, usually to gain unauthorized access to personal or organizational data.

In this case, they weren't exploiting any weakness of the system thus they did not hack. Logging in is an authorized action. Who is using those credentials is another story. Clearly it is a user mistake. It's like leaking your SSN and saying people hacked your credit card.

dmak··on Ask HN: Why do many CS graduates lack foundational knowledge?
For DB systems, I had to specifically choose this as a deep course and dived into creating a database from scratch.

I would argue those are specialized areas, not base knowledge. Moreover, what kind of questions are you asking? It is more likely that you have a misaligned assessment of an undergraduates knowledge.

Hack != leak
dmak··on Introducing react.dev
I don't get how anyone can build a serious application on vanilla JS. I love vanilla JS, but it would require one to re-invent the wheel to manage all the state. You'll end up borrowing tons of ideas and rolling your own framework. At that point, you might as well have used something like React, Svelte, etc...
dmak··on Introducing react.dev
If you're doing anything animation related, there is no point in using React's useState because it causes re-renders. The right approach here is to use useRef.
