krossitalk··on In Search of a Faster SQLite
I argue it's not Open Source (Freedom, not Free Beer) because PRs are locked and only Hipp and close contributors can merge code. It's openly developed, but not by the community.
krossitalk··on Decimal BASIC
Is there a full source for the Mandelbrot shown on the home page?
krossitalk··on Bram Moolenaar's programming language, Zimbu
So...he invented Python?
krossitalk··on Shazam for singing
I thought this was how Shazam worked as well. I hummed a tune and was super disappointed it didn't identify it. Sounds like a business opportunity to me :)
krossitalk··on Immortal Objects for Python
A ~2% slowdown in every python program everywhere sounds...unfortunate to say the least.
krossitalk··on The Future of the Vim Project
Pretty much this. I'd like to take a crack at updating that vim.org page away from PHP5/MySQL.
krossitalk··on Rest in peace Bram Moolenaar, author of Vim
Was there the usual banner posted here in mourning? I seem to have missed that. RIP. Love vim.
krossitalk··on Lace Card
"IBM Doily" is cute. Love that.
krossitalk··on Removing support for forwarded ports
> NAT hole punching

Could we just throw a STUN service in front of this, then?

krossitalk··on It Wasn't AI
Ironic that I had to pass Cloudflare "Are you human" verification.
krossitalk··on This Word Does Not Exist
I've had several like "According to facts and standards" or "standards and standards" or "facts and facts".
krossitalk··on Why Object.keys doesn't return (keyof T)[]
Overpaid behavior. ES5 was fine.
krossitalk··on The early days of Linux
> the X11 system was ported to it, making 1992 the year of the Linux desktop.

That's rich!

krossitalk··on His software sang the words of God, then it went silent
Not a single original thought. How this isn't about Terry A. Davis is disappointing
krossitalk··on ChatGPT and Wolfram Is Insane
There's a subtle irony in being sent to Reddit from HN
krossitalk··on LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models
Maybe call it LoRALLMR (Laura Loomer)
krossitalk··on Google Bard waitlist
"Bard does not support Google Workspace addresses".

Cool, bye!

krossitalk··on FreeBSD Home Audio Studio
Focusrite makes higher grade options for the pro studio space. They offer a variety of rack mount interfaces.
krossitalk··on [dead]
Did anyone else notice Gmail/Workspaces were down this morning? Only briefly
krossitalk··on Idiot Proof Git
Just learn Git. It's really not that bad. Don't _ever_ make someone use Rebase without their understanding of what that really means.
krossitalk··on Demo of =GPT3() as a spreadsheet feature
What about subtle formatting differences (Country, Territory, Postal code is the norm. Doesn't have to be.). What if we applied this to hand written addresses? (Adding an OCR component).

I'm sure the USPS is already doing this and more, and if not, there's probably some AI jobs lined up for it :)

krossitalk··on Google is shutting down Stadia
Does anyone think we'll ever see the sunsetting of something huge like YouTube or GMail?
krossitalk··on Security in Plan 9 (2002)
It would have been funny for a blip but this has been front page for >6 hours and it's still down
krossitalk··on Russian airlines ordered to stop selling tickets to Russian men aged 18 to 65
I think System of a Down asked this same question: "Why don't presidents fight the war?"
krossitalk··on Use plain-text email
Imagine trying to read that very website as a plain text email. The headers, bolding, and rulers make a huge difference.

Plain text email reminds me of the original ethos behind Markdown. "You're already doing it". Except, not everyone has the same rules. We can all read it but there becomes necessary a translation layer.

krossitalk··on Show HN: I made a modern web UI for Hacker News
Hah, I have particularly bad eyesight and HN and Terminal are both around 175% normal (12pt) zoom levels.
krossitalk··on A Spectre Is Haunting Unicode (2018)
> At this rate they'll presumably be with humanity forever. Ψ

So, that's a really interesting thought. Perhaps our solution to a permanent reminder of nuclear destruction[1] could be hidden inside a plane of Unicode.

krossitalk··on Cdecl: C Gibberish ↔ English
I think of it as a programmers aide much like regex101.com or crontab.guru
krossitalk··on Show HN: Make your PDF look scanned in browser
How would you download the payload without an internet connection?

Let's presume it is malicious, and the mere act of downloading the WASM starts an injection.

krossitalk··on 1x Programming
Don't. Hijack. The. Back. Button.
