hojjat12000··on Practical typewriting: By the all-finger method (1894)
I suspect this would significantly lower the typing speed and also accuracy (as you have to search for FJ keys to orient yourself again).
hojjat12000··on Ask HN: What is a creative product you've discovered recently?
I think this key cluster module [0] for the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard is pretty creative. I don't own a UHK or this module, but I think this is a better answer to your question than Workflowy, Notion, Roam Research, and pen and paper.

hojjat12000··on Total Cookie Protection
I don't know if you're on Linux. But I had issues with Youtube as well. Two things helped me an updated graphics driver and Wayland.
hojjat12000··on Total Cookie Protection
I switched to FF when Quantum came out. I use it exclusively. Not because I hate Chrome, but because I don't see any need for chrome. Once in a while I see a website that forces me to use something other than FF. But it happens rarely, and it is mostly some webgl-based under-development demo website.

I even use it on my phone. The mobile version is definitely worse than Chrome, but it has plugins (or it used to! nowadays it only support a few popular ones which is a shame) and also I can send tabs from my phone to my computer (which is a better place to read articles anyways).

hojjat12000··on Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
If you look at the website you will see that it is not bundling Node.js, apps can be as small as less than 1mb. It is written in rust (because the backend is, also it will integrate with Deno in future which in Rust). It is still in development, but if you look at the website you will see the features that it provides or will provide (such as system integration) and the value that it adds.
hojjat12000··on Rust Foundation: Hello, World
> I heard of ripgrep, an amazing twenty-first century revolution that beats grep in the dust.

So, when you heard that, you thought "LOC"? Not safety, not speed, not features, not FFI, but LOC? why?

hojjat12000··on I no longer trust The Great Suspender
You're mixing a few different things. Free software and open source are different. and for each of them there are hundreds of different licenses that allows you to do something but not another.
hojjat12000··on Efficient custom shapes in QtQuick with Rust
I use to love C++/Qt widgets for cross platform gui programming. Right now I'm learning Rust and it looks like that GTK is the best option for GUI programming in Rust. Can someone tell me what toolkit should I learn for Rust? Should learn a Rusty Gui toolkit?
hojjat12000··on Bill and Melinda Gates: America’s Top Farmland Owner
That doesn't make sense at all! What is this PR for? Are people buying more Windows Licenses because he is paying to charity? Are people sending money to him? Is he making billions of dollars getting commission for books he recommend? What do you mean?
hojjat12000··on DuckDuckGo Reaches 100M Daily Search Queries
You can use Youtube Vanced (Youtube Advance without the Ad) on your phone. I can not recommend it enough. It also supports "Sponsor blocker". It's the best app for youtube addicts.
hojjat12000··on Signal Fork with WhatsApp Migration
I recently moved my gf from iOS to Android and searched all over the internet to see how I can move the WhatsApp database from iOS to whatsapp on Android!! You'd think whatsapp would let you do that! Long story short , there might be a way of doing that if you install an older version of it. I failed to transfer the data. But you can back it up as plain text using "share conversation" feature and then uploading or emailing it.
hojjat12000··on GitHub is fully available in Iran
Github was available to Iranian up until two years ago. The general public is not that familiar with github (just like the rest of the world). But it is very likely that if the government feel like it, they just go ahead and censor it.
hojjat12000··on GitHub is fully available in Iran
I did misread it. To be honest, I thank him a lot more! Gitlab rules!
hojjat12000··on GitHub is fully available in Iran
Don't give them ideas! Also, I haven't seen a lot of political stuff related to Iran on Github.
hojjat12000··on GitHub is fully available in Iran
As an Iranian interested in opensource and free software, I thank you for Gitlab. It is devastating that this was a thing to begin with. But I'm happy that at least we can pull/push again! Happy coding. Edit: I misread the OP. But the message is still the same, thank you for Gitlab.
hojjat12000··on Electric cars make up 54% of cars sold in Norway in 2020
What do you mean? You mean the used-car market? Why would that matter?
hojjat12000··on ATT services down due to bombing in Nashville
That's my point. If you go search on YT for those videos, you're leaving a digital trail that can be easily traced back to you.
hojjat12000··on Flow Browser Preview on the Raspberry Pi 400
Are you suggesting that video editors only support Raspberry Pi? Or are you suggesting that they only support Intel Core 2 Duo + NVIDIA GT 640? I don't get what you're suggesting. A video editor needs good hardware, either you can go with mac, or PC. On PC, you can not really lock yourself into one model, even the developers are gonna have a variety of different hardware.
hojjat12000··on ATT services down due to bombing in Nashville
Unless you have those movies and video games already on your hard drive, downloading them will create a log somewhere that could be traceable. :/ Windows TTS on a device not connected to the internet is a better choice. (I don't know why we are trying to give them ideas!)
hojjat12000··on Mark Rober (former NASA) launches a 30 day Creative Engineering Class
I don't think any body cares about that. Specially when you can collect the plastic balls (because it's in your pool) and recycle it (which I'm sure he did, I don't think he dumped it in his kitchen trash can). He also uses biodegradable glitter.
hojjat12000··on Rewriting LaTeX in Pure Rust
That should be fairly easy in Rust.
hojjat12000··on Rewriting LaTeX in Pure Rust
Here is the percentages of different languages in the original tectonic repo: C: 80.5%, TeX: 7.8%, Rust 7.5%, C++ 4.0%, Other 0.2%

And here is the forked version: Rust 85.2%, TeX 7.3%, C 6.2%, C++ 1.2%, Shell 0.1%

So, looks like %80 more rust in this one (auto-generated and refactored)

hojjat12000··on Ask HN: Why would I want 5G on my smartphone?
Battery use maybe? Worse connection through walls? More anthenas should be installed to create better coverage? I know these are not great argument against it, especially because any 5G phone also supports 4G.I can't think of any reason not to want it.
hojjat12000··on Telegram messaging app proves crucial to Belarus protests
To be fair. It's the best messaging app out there (feature-wise). It got banned in Iran because it was so influential in the protests. The channels are great for being up to date on the latest news and seeing what is happening in different cities. Groups are awesome for coordinating gatherings. It allows you to send huge files and documents. It has bots (which people used to get info on the current police location, or get VPN and proxy information). It's a great app. I wish the people behind it and its security was more transparent.
hojjat12000··on Moving from YouTube to PeerTube
Newpipe is good. But not good for discovery and the subscribed page is a disaster. I use Firefox on Android, plus two addons: Ublock Origin, and also UltraWideo to fix the aspect ratio and fit the video to my screen. This way I get the same experience as on my computer. The only downside is using picture-in-picture is a little tricky. You can always send the url to Newpipe if you need more control.
hojjat12000··on Using Obsidian to manage goals, tasks, notes, and software dev knowledge base
I use Zettlr. It's also a Markdown manager. However you can define a folder as a project. Which helps to keep related notes orderly. Also you can export the whole project or one note as a pdf (using pandoc) or docx, odt, html... You can attach files to your note too. That being said I really enjoyed the idea of Trilium. Especially the fact that you can write your own scripts.You may be able to add scripts and make spreadsheet or SketchUp files first class documents.
hojjat12000··on The Clean Network – United States Department of State
To be honest they are forcing a "National Internet" in Iran, and the language in this document just reminded me of that. Huh.
hojjat12000··on Mastodon 3.2
That's three things.
hojjat12000··on Screw motivation what you need is discipline
Great article. Ironically it gave me a lot of motivation to get out of the bed and get to the stuff I've been postponing.
hojjat12000··on Insect-worn microcamera streams video to phone 120 meters away
> The technology can be used to study insects in the field

Hmmmm... Of course... That is how it is gonna be used.
