isatty2on The password “ji32k7au4a83” has been seen over a hundred times

Native English speaker here, I still browse HN at 150% zoom because I use displays with a high DPI (Macbook pro retina 15" and the Dell U25 and U27 series screens).

It's just more comfortable that way.

isatty2on The CPython Bytecode Compiler Is Dumb

I know you don't disagree with the patch being rejected, but I have to say that the reviewer gave you a firm example in which your patch changes expected behavior.

Philosophy aside, that is a fine reason to reject the patch unless you can convince the reviewer (and the committee) that you are in the right (you very well may be).

Little does he know its 100 bucks and a hotdog.

isatty2on Apple restores Google’s internal iOS apps after certificate misuse punishment

Only thing that'd really affect me is google maps but I can make do with apple maps or using the web ui

isatty2on How to architect a Qt/C++ Application

Have you found any good tutorials or even documentation for using rust-qt?

isatty2on Show HN: Sublime Merge – A Git client from the makers of Sublime Text

$99 for this?

When there's git cli, magit, fugitive (which you should be using if you're really really in need of a GUI (and which is also better than whatever the demo is showing))?

I'm all for paying for your tooling if you can afford it but overcharging much?

isatty2on Linus Torvalds apologizes for his behavior, takes time off

I don't have the time to find the comment now, but being the largest philanthropic donor does NOT infact make up for being an asshole or the amount of damage microsoft has done to the computing industry.

Am I downplaying his donations? Not at all. It's just that doing a good thing does not cancel out the bad.

isatty2on The Subway Doesn't Have to Be Hot and Gross

Anyone who has taken the subway (MRT) in Singapore knows that stations definitely don't need to hot and gross. It maybe different because we don't need full HVAC but rather only air conditioning, but taking public transport has only ever been pleasant (except when it breaks down).

Maybe some principles can be applied to other subway systems?

isatty2on MikroTik routers are forwarding owners’ traffic to unknown attackers

You can build your own router with inexpensive hardware and run pfsense on it. You can find many guides for that online.

Otherwise, get an edgerouter.
