ecmascript··on Show HN: Markdown HN profiles at {user}.at.hn
C'mon mate, it's just a redirect to a nsfw website. Not the end of the world. I also did warn about it so if you work in such a crappy environment and click on a link with a warning you'll have to suit yourself.
ecmascript··on Show HN: Markdown HN profiles at {user}.at.hn
Haha yeah, I realized he fixed the obvious one with javascript injection but since markdown doesn't convert html I figured a normal html redirect would work and it did!
ecmascript··on Show HN: Markdown HN profiles at {user}.at.hn
Not really, unless you have visited the site before. I guess you already have accepted the warning on their front page lol.

Sad that you are a party pooper tho! I was being nice and warned you and here you are, removing the fun.

ecmascript··on Superfast Microsoft AI is first to predict air pollution for the whole world
I wonder how these articles get written, do they get to see the results or do they simply trust whatever they say at Microsoft?

In my experience stuff like this is often vastly overestimated but if it really can do what it says it's great but I would like to see some examples.

ecmascript··on Toyota raided as safety testing scandal grows
I bought a new car by Toyota yesterday, sucks to read this now even if my car probably isn't affected. :(
ecmascript··on EU: Users who refuse scanning to be prevented from sharing photos and links
Why? The EU is inherently anti-democratic IMO. Most people have no idea what is going on, what laws are being discussed and so on. Why should the EU have power over stuff like this to begin with? It's stupid.
ecmascript··on EU: Users who refuse scanning to be prevented from sharing photos and links
Not where I live. Where I live it's the pro-EU people that are generally for this and is actually the people behind chat control (Sweden, Socialdemokraterna).

They are a horrible, horrible party that desires power over all else.

ecmascript··on EU: Users who refuse scanning to be prevented from sharing photos and links
Voting with my feet?
ecmascript··on EU: Users who refuse scanning to be prevented from sharing photos and links
Not in my country, here it's the reverse.

Even though, it's far easier to change peoples opinion in one country than in 28.

ecmascript··on EU: Users who refuse scanning to be prevented from sharing photos and links
Well well, time to vote for the anti-EU party.
ecmascript··on Shein set to boost London with IPO
> sn't Shein basically the same as H&M,

Compared to Shein H&M is a luxury brand.

ecmascript··on GNU LibreJS: blocks JavaScript traps
Couple of issues with that, how does this plugin know that this wasm-blob is together with a certain source? Since wasm is often the compile target and don't have comments afaik how do you really tell the plugin what license it is?

I guess what I am really asking is how would it say so? Because even if it is free software I assume this plugin would block it anyway since it don't know.

You could write an html comment just above it but how will I as a website owner know that this plugin:

1. Exists.

2. How to respect it.

There are plenty of plugins but this seems just like a plugin if you like to suffer when you really don't have to. I can kind of understand the goal of the FSF and I do hate some modern software today and companies trying to remove ownership but I have never thought the way FSF is doing stuff is a good way to reach their goal.

ecmascript··on GNU LibreJS: blocks JavaScript traps
So how do you determine if a wasm blob is non-free?
ecmascript··on GNU LibreJS: blocks JavaScript traps
This is like the meme with a guy riding a bike sticking it in the front wheel, getting hurt and in this case blaming javascript.

I don't get the hate against javascript tbh. With this, web components won't work I assume unless the license is known before hand? Or is that considered trivial?

What about wasm? Does it block that? Javascript is at least better than wasm since you can inspect javascript. So people that hate javascript should really hate wasm.

ecmascript··on The U.S. may be missing human cases of bird flu, scientists say
Well, there didn't use to be any large scale factories that handled thousands of birds/animals.

Sure, there were a lot of farmers having some animals but not in the large scale industry that we have today. That is a very modern phenomenon.

ecmascript··on The U.S. may be missing human cases of bird flu, scientists say
True but there are reasons to believe that it's vastly higher than the covid though.
ecmascript··on The U.S. may be missing human cases of bird flu, scientists say
Ok sure, but even if it's 1/5 as bad it's still very bad.
ecmascript··on The U.S. may be missing human cases of bird flu, scientists say
I have chickens myself and the bird flu is a constant worry every winter. I am amazed that the governments of the world don't do more and that there is very little news coverage about it since to me it feels like it is a much larger threat than most.

I read somewhere that scientists mutated it and that it's only 2 mutations away from spreading human to human and that the mutations are such that they could happen in nature.

I am a bit worried of the bird flu and I am very confused over the fact that we care so little about it and keep trading with countries that have horrible animal care which probably is the root cause of these diseases.

ecmascript··on The U.S. may be missing human cases of bird flu, scientists say
The risk of dying from covid was probably less than 1% for a healthy adult and it's around 60-70% when it comes to the bird flu. So people will naturally take this much more serious if it starts to spread among humans.
ecmascript··on Don't Use Iperf3 on Windows
I did C# dev for a couple of years. I think VS is a shitty IDE. It's slow and laggy. So much so I started to use Visual Studio Code for some of the C# development I did. It's way worse than for example Jetbrains products by a large margin.

What exactly with VS is so great? Maybe I didn't use that feature..

ecmascript··on Playboy image from 1972 gets ban from IEEE computer journals
As I've mentioned above, I did read the article but I don't see how it makes a difference.
ecmascript··on Playboy image from 1972 gets ban from IEEE computer journals
I know, I read the article. So what? She got paid for the image (according to the article) and she was a model.

If you sell a picture to me you can't come back 40 years later demanding me to stop using it just because it was successful, even if the picture is of you.

People accuse me of not reading, while seemingly not reading the entire thing themselves.

ecmascript··on Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?
Altough not freelance, but I operate almost 10 websites atm. I use Remix on pretty much all of them since the dx is great and goes fast to develop more complex things. I host every site on one dedicated server from Hetzner with the Caddy webserver as a reverse proxy in front. I have super fast load times and a cheap monthly bill. I could 10x the traffic and it wouldn't be near hitting the limit of the server and it's like €18/month.
ecmascript··on Show HN: I taught ChatGPT to find cool domain names – with availability check
I don't really get it how it works. I wrote down a bunch of keywords but what it spat out was a long sentence with most of the keywords and perhaps some related ones together.

Not really cool or useful to me.

ecmascript··on Google: Angular and Wiz Are Merging
Well perhaps, but I think it's so overly complex and verbose to the point that learning it and making sure that everyone working on the project is on the same level is hard or near to impossible.

I really tried to learn RxJS, I used a lot of different methods like filter and what not but I still got into a huge amount of issues but honestly a lot of that was because angular was not really fit for the type of application we were trying to build. Especially as we relied heavily on query params for state. There were many strange behaviors of Angular Router that I ran into several times. It has some kind of own internal state and fires updates in an unexpected way. I remember sitting hours just to try to get the query params to update correctly and I was not the only one having these kinds of issues.

Even if I agree useEffect is unnecessary complex, it's still far far away from being as complex as RxJS and Angular. I remember I was trying to add some pipe service or whatever it was called and it was near to impossible to achieve what I wanted to do which would be trivial in any other framework/vanilla JS (unfortunately I don't remember what it was).

Then using third party stuff in Angular is a nightmare as well. You have to deep dive into how it's being built to make sure all the stuff is brought into the build step etc. The configuration is a nightmare if you want to do something special like making use of Angular Elements that's barely documented at all.

I never got to use the Signals feature, because I left the company before it got introduced into Angular.

ecmascript··on Google: Angular and Wiz Are Merging
I didn't care so much about the syntax but rather the over reliance on the subscriber pattern that you have to have like a subscriber to even read something as fundamental as query params. And the funny thing is that is will fire once and then again when the query params is actually set. So you will have an empty fire for when they are not yet set for some strange reason, presumably from when the observer is created.

The problem with Angular, especially as the app grows is that you will have many different subscribers that all listen on the same state changes, then fire them again so you will have code that just runs again and again and it's extremely hard to have a mental model on how the system work and what code runs when.

The code also easily gets super slow because you run something, it affect state, then it triggers something else that triggers something else that just happen to affect the first state, whoops now you have a loop. Even if the loop resolves, it's pretty much inevitable to get a loop sometimes if the app is complex enough, at least in my experience working with several other devs.

ecmascript··on Google: Angular and Wiz Are Merging
I hate Angular with a passion. It's easily the most verbose, overly complex front end framework I've ever used which just takes the fun out of building web apps and make it a pure pain. I would rather work on a farm and shovel pig shit all day than work in Angular again.

My last job forced Angular on me, I quit after a while (not because of solely that reason) but I told them Angular was a bad choice and they chose to overrule me. Pretty funny now, they will have to endure the pain of migrating a large app which makes me feel good.

Make stupid choices, win stupid prizes.

ecmascript··on Campus free speech was in trouble in 2018, and the data shows worsening
Well you are prohibiting others free speech by protesting in that way. I do not agree that prohibiting others from speaking is a form of speech. So in that case, you are only using your voice in order to destroy others. If you were protesting in the hallway outside trying to convince people of your opinion, that is just fine but don't prohibit other people from speaking their minds.

But yes I do believe in some processes, you can host an event on the campus as well to tell everyone how he is wrong.

I won't read any book recommended by people like you, sorry.

ecmascript··on Cranelift code generation comes to Rust
It wasn't dead when I replied. I know this, I show dead since I often find my comments to be flagged or killed since I have some unpopular opinions. Just watch the my history and view the sea of down votes I've collected. ;)
ecmascript··on .NET Developers Begging for Ecosystem Destruction
The experience I have of working in C# and .NET is that you use everything from Microsoft, even if it sucks. It's like a rule that goes through every "Microsoft shop" out there.

They are as much of zombies as the apple fanboys are. It doesn't matter what the company do, they will buy it and lick it up like they were a cat licking cream from a platter.
