l-lousy··on Blackmagic Camera for iPhone
DaVinci Resolve (a very popular Color correcting and video editing software) is needed to work effectively with some of the ProRes Color schemes. Its basic version is free but there are paid upgrades to it. This app is likely a funnel to their software and other peripherals

l-lousy··on Canadians think tipping is ‘getting out of control,’ new poll suggest
Yep, very true. Some places are even asking for a tip when I just order for pickup which doesn’t make sense, it’s just a voluntary service charge at that point? As a result I and many others are just going out less. This means less income for those in the service industry, so they might need to charge a bigger tip from those who do choose to dine in. Not a great feedback loop
l-lousy··on Rosenpass – formally verified post-quantum WireGuard
From the read me:

As with any application a small risk of critical security issues (such as buffer overflows, remote code execution) exists; the Rosenpass application is written in the Rust programming language which is much less prone to such issues.

I think their formal analysis is only security/crypto related, at least for the time being.

l-lousy··on Amazon admits no basis for damages in $1M asset seizure by DOJ?
Separate the things that musk controls (Tesla, Space X, starlink, Solar City, etc) and musk the person (Forcing animal testing, calling rescue operators pedophiles, market manipulation, etc) and it’s easy not to like musk the person. Let’s also not pretend like he’s doing any of those ventures out of the goodness of his heart
l-lousy··on Post mortem of our 1st YC startup: a Reverse ETL
Putting “here’s how we changed on a previous product” doesn’t really need to be on a small corporate site. It being a sort of investigation fits better on GitHub where fewer people will accidentally stumble across it from their current product.
l-lousy··on Devpod: Remote development environment at Uber
Also most “personally customized “ environments can be copied around with 1 config file or a few dot files at this point
l-lousy··on How are you doing?
There’s a “done” and an “X” button, but there were only about 3 pixels of each visible to click in landscape mode. The aspect ratio seems to have a big effect here

The fact that even the “not to be sold in china” bit is so on point even today is kind of scary

A gardening simulator game with Sam as the main character

Mirrors edge, but with gollum

l-lousy··on Arrest of suspected developer of Tornado Cash
Have there not been quite a few bills/laws proposed recently that also advocate for privacy being bad?

So half of stack overflows users
l-lousy··on Stop Interviewing with Leet Code
Anyone using a Mac for tech related jobs has a high probability of using brew. That includes a lot of googlers
l-lousy··on Show HN: Alternative Google Analytics Dashboard
I think they meant in terms of design. It does look strikingly like the layout and design of plausible.
l-lousy··on Textsynth: Bellard's free GPT-NeoX-20B, GPT-J playground and paid API
Sometimes you just need some moral support
l-lousy··on US Navy wirelessly beams 1.6 kW of power a kilometer using microwaves
I think the end goal here is for the power to be delivered via satellite, which would be great for a ship out on the open ocean. Though you’re right that a nuclear powered ship would be better
l-lousy··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
I have NEVER seen an ad on Snapchat because all I do is send pictures and chat. Twitter has a user base that is a lot more engaged and can easily be captured by ads.
l-lousy··on Google cancels Google Play publisher account and ends family’s source of income
You can still suspend an account immediately and wait for someone to appeal before engaging the expensive human support
l-lousy··on ReVanced
Google didn’t do anything until Vanced tried to release an NFT and profit off the app

What a wonderful experiment, not only does it sound fun but also slightly educational
l-lousy··on We must return to an economy fueled by innovation, rather than disruption

l-lousy··on Uber funds new lobbying group to deny rights for gig workers
I think you misread the comment you replied to. They were saying they’re not employees, same as content creators for YouTube or independent iOS devs.
l-lousy··on U.S. Secret Service Launches Cryptocurrency Awareness Hub
It may be that the original poster meant that it may upend and take over the current system if the Govt can’t regulate it in some way
l-lousy··on U.S. Secret Service Launches Cryptocurrency Awareness Hub
I think that’s the argument, why move to a whole new currency if it’s more of the same problems with fewer safeguards for the non technical and no way to get lost items back?
l-lousy··on Newegg has a bit of a scandal on its hands
Seems like small claims court may have been easier
