Where is data stored? Bluesky? My PDS? Your PDS, for free?

> CGI has nothing to do with BankID

That's incorrect. Skatteverket used CGI for BankID-login, I don't know if they still do. I have personal experience working on a BankID-login using CGI for another company and it is still active.

Edit: I just confirmed Skatteverket still uses CGI for BankID-auth. "funktionstjanster" is CGI.

jonashus··on Clean Code vs. A Philosophy Of Software Design
Yes, no, I think he has different mental capabilities than most (most of the commenters here at least) and by that actually are living in a different reality. Human brains function vastly different. Two examples stood out to me.

1) UB said he reads the code in its full from left to right with the if(isTooHot) example. I only resort to reading code in that way as a last resort if I really can't figure out what the code is doing. I mean I look at a block or row and take it in more as a whole.

2) UB said comments are annoying because he has to read them and keep the whole of the comment text in his mind. This again says he reads everything left to right, and he can likely store everything that he has read up to a certain amount.

My mind works nothing like that. I can hold very few words in my working memory but can instead hold concepts/ideas. For that to work good I need to see as much of the involved code as possible and my mental image evaporates if I have to navigate too far where I started.

jonashus··on Let's stop counting centuries
In Swedish it's also very rare to count centuries. We say 1700-talet. Also 2000-talet (pronounced either tvåtusen-talet/twothousand-talet or tjugohundra-talet/twentyhundred-talet) would mainly refer to 2000-2100. To refer to 2000-2009 we say 00-talet (nollnoll-talet/zerozero-talet).
jonashus··on Parachute use to prevent death, trauma when jumping from aircraft (2018) [pdf]
Where I live in northern Europe almost all ground in the forests are soft. There is moss, small plants, grass or leaves everywhere.

I can't imagine why the mice would climb trees, but if they did and fall down, they probably gonna be fine most of the time.

In many forests there is lots of large rocks and steep slope/cliffs/precipice in the range 0-5 m where mice possibly could shorten their path by jumping. But I'd suppose they rather use a path they can go in both directions.

I don't see anything below the Hint button. And scrolling seems disabled.
jonashus··on Spark email client goes subscription path
Compared to eM Client for which you pay once per version and it had ~20 months between last versions. The cost for Spark is more than twice that of eM Client.

A subscription model should enable them to set a lower price as their revenue will be more reliable.

Make it $9.99/year instead and I'm in.

jonashus··on DuckDuckGo Removes Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results
Same results on Qwant. No thepiratebay.org and not youtube dl's official site. The results seem very much identical.
jonashus··on Tell HN: Unable to login to HN from Firefox, a Lovecraftian tale
Does setting the cookie using the javascript console (on ycombinator.com) trigger the same expired message? Could be a good angle if it does.
