karol··on I switched to Brave
It still amazes me that in California if someone donates to anti-gay marriage initiative they can be openly called "absolute scumbag" and people just roll with it. It's called having political views.
karol··on PDF Forgeries Are Surprisingly Rare (2022)
I read this and classified as "future issue". If it's so easy as the author described it will happen, or it's already happening and it will be discovered much later.

The Dieselgate is a good analogy. Incentives, how easy it is to get to profit.

karol··on EuroBirdPortal – Live bird movements across Europe
Anything can be represented by a dot on a screen, but not everything makes sense to be appreciated in this way.
karol··on Why the AfD Wins
Congratulations to democratically elected leaders!
karol··on Ask HN: How do you survive a job you hate which is slowly making you sick?

OMG, that's like 200 years of 4.5bn?
karol··on Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)
It just says that when you slept well you can be a bit drowsy.
karol··on You don't need React: creating a minimal UI library in Vanilla JavaScript
A 50-100 LOC library that provides 80% of what React does is very easy to create. I created one of those 14 years ago before React, to replace things like mustache and similar templating languages. That doesn't take away from your effort. It's a good idea for anyone to recreate their favourite lib to understand the principles.
karol··on Deno Desktop
Of all the content they put out I liked the comparison section the most. The last row says iOS/Android - Electron: no, deno: not yet. If they deliver on this it will get much bigger.
karol··on Developers don't understand CORS (2019)
CORS, CSRF and CSP get the job done;)
karol··on 1worldflag: A blue dot on a transparent background
I would live to see the transparency around the funding and goals of this project.
karol··on It is time to give up the dualism introduced by the debate on consciousness
Get familiar with Donald Hoffman - plenty of good podcasts with him.
karol··on ATMs didn’t kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did
They key is to do it by setting up the right structure or end up with it naturally, not by laws and control, because then you end up in a oppressive nanny state at the very best.
karol··on Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in Europe (2025)
It's insanity to stop using country own resources and rely on unreliable tech and energy imports.

As I browse the comments here I lament that most "above average IQ" folks still don't get this simple truth.

karol··on Global warming has accelerated significantly
It's gonna be great, when it's warmer.
karol··on Greenpeace pilot brings heat pumps and solar to Ukrainian community
Did they also bring rainbow flags?
karol··on Gaussian Splatting – A$AP Rocky "Helicopter" music video
The rap seems rather derivative, lyrics contain mandatory token "pussy".
karol··on A website to destroy all websites
Open source values blah blah and still a personal dig at Brendan Eich.
karol··on How the restoration of ancient Babylon is drawing tourists back to Iraq
Yeah, meanwhile what happened to Gilgamesh's tomb? What is left to see in Iraq/Uruk is less than a shadow of what was excavated.
karol··on We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own
Is this your human right?
karol··on What does Palantir actually do?
He said he expected Susan;)
karol··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
Beginning is an illusion created by our way of perception. Time is neither linear nor real so how can there be a "beginning"?
karol··on How to live an intellectually rich life
I wouldn't advise this as a life goal. Better to live an intentional live. I am sure people can come up with even better formulations.
karol··on Basic Income Pilot Project: Study results
Who in their right mind wants that? UBI just means signing your soul away to the state, who then can mandate your lifestyle completely including health procedures and even military conscription. No thanks.
karol··on Show HN: My iOS app to practice sight reading (10 years in the App Store)
Amazing!
karol··on Introducing command And commandfor In HTML
If these are proposals to use bindings between html attributes and calling JS methods, then it's enough to inject HTML, not JS, to start executing JS.
karol··on Introducing command And commandfor In HTML
That looks like more XSS vectors.

Also what do I do if I want to fire analytics even and open the modal. Correct, use onClick.

karol··on Open Euro LLM: Open LLMs for Transparent AI in Europe
Nonsense, got something then just share a link to eurogpt. Fed up with this academic BS.
karol··on Show HN: TypeScript/React/Vue Window Layout Manager (Tabs, Floating, Popouts)
Nice project. I would appreciate putting some common content in the demo, such as videos, dropdowns, large amount of text and large size text to show how they can be handled.

Also is there a version without window chrome, just panes?
