majou··on Twitter’s Entire A11y Experience Team Let Go
Accessibility, but the middle 11 letters are skipped.

See also: i18n.

majou··on Musk’s inner circle worked through weekend to cement Twitter layoff plans
I've had no issues making accounts with my custom domains, fwiw.

Did get a phone-number nag that I was able to ticket myself out of.

majou··on Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
iOS 12.5.6 was released in August to address a security vuln for the 5s, 6, etc.

The 5s debuted Sept 2013 as the first 64-bit phone, and the first phone with a Secure Enclave, so I'm kind of hopeful they'll just keep limping it along forever for good will... I own a pair of them and adore them dearly.

On the topic of iOS, be sure to check out https://libimobiledevice.org/, which provides utilities like ifuse that will even get you access to your Photos sqlite database; including all the machine generated tags, aesthetics scores and such.

majou··on Coming Home to Vim (2010)
Incorrigibly pedantic.
majou··on A Danish political party led by an AI
Absurdly cool.
majou··on DarkForestSim: A Netlogo Simulation of the Dark Forest Hypothesis
Is it conceivable for a civilization to invent cheap space travel, but not nuclear weapons?
majou··on Pittsburgh Airport installs an algae air purifier
Really it's about the average occupance of the airport over 24h, which is going to be far greater than 0.25.
majou··on Geothermal may beat batteries for energy storage
Same idea in Alberta: http://dlsc.ca/borehole.htm
majou··on Cassandra at Apple: 1000s of Clusters, 300k Nodes, 100 PB
It's thoughtful, but clearly deputizing your own property against you is not a premise people are comfortable with.
majou··on Ask HN: Is Substack the new Medium?
If they styled the "let me read first" to be more `democratic' (i.e. easier to scan for) I'd have 0 complaints. Maybe also as a button with an hr to separate it from the email form.
majou··on Ask HN: Is Substack the new Medium?
Pessimism is an indulgence–it's like some kind of bastardized emotional protection system, and I refuse to resign myself in that way.
majou··on Ask HN: Is Substack the new Medium?
No. Medium is bloated trash with dark patterns; Substack has always loaded quickly for me and has transparent monetization.

I expect this to remain the case because they do cool things like provide legal support for their customers https://on.substack.com/p/legal-support-for-substack-writers

majou··on My channel is now demonetized because I cover the war [video]
Keep in mind 30 seconds watched counts as a view.

Might buffer 3 minutes of video in that time, but hardly any of those views are the full video.

majou··on Lycoris Recoil: Turning Original Anime Production Chaos in Your Favor
Trigger is doing the second season of PSG, very exciting~
majou··on Offline map test on Apple Watch Ultra for hiking
> Not to mention they don’t sunset their products after 12 months

Apple still provides security updates for the iPhone 5s from 2013.

majou··on Manifest V3, webRequest, and ad blockers
How about a water dispenser and ice machine?

Mail and Calendar apps are mostly used from the browser now anwyay.

majou··on YouTube’s ‘dislike’ barely works according to new study on recommendations
(On the topic of Subaru https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAochkcRfK4)

I agree about the dislikes tho.

I used to calculate the ratio of likes:dislikes, and a lot of my hobbies were in the cool 1,000:1 range. Now I do the same with views:likes; 10:1 isn't uncommon for some niches!

majou··on About Lockdown Mode
It's possible to disable the preview, clicking somewhere on the grey bar IIRC.. at least when I used iOS.
majou··on Weightless: Parabolic flight on an A310
> Both shots are from the GoPro Fusion camera.

> The cockpit footage is stabilised in post using Adobe After Effects and the telemetry from the plane's sensors.

majou··on Ask HN: Why is Python package management still a dumpster fire?

majou··on Flanderization
It's only natural. Expressions convey a lot; they drive curiosity and makes the content seem more important to watch ("what made them make that face?").

I avoid any and all videos using the tactic because it feels crude, tho..

majou··on Cloudflare Warp
SNI reveals which domains.
majou··on Steve Jobs emails himself (2010)
Apple provides security updates far longer than Android does.

They continue to patch the first 64-bit phone and the first phone with a dedicated secure enclave: the iPhone 5s, released 9 years ago.

majou··on iOS 16 Available September 12th
iOS 12.5.6 was released on a week ago.

iOS 15 will be getting patches even if iOS 14 and 13 don't.

majou··on Tell HN: Microsoft's captcha is pretty hard
4chan's new captcha is cute and easy to use. I don't think it'll be effective all that long tho.
majou··on DJI Drone Flies over the Top of Mount Everest
DJI hosts robot design competitions in China, where the brightest brains compete to pour the foundations of future weapon platforms.

I'm of the opinion technology can move too fast, and giving money to DJI is fuelling that fire.

majou··on Stable Diffusion is a big deal
32Gb (4GB)

majou··on Rewriting my blog in Rust for fun and profit
Tangentially related: the delay field in your hn profile will hide your comment for n minutes for you to make edits.

I always set mine to 2.

majou··on Chrome allows websites to write to the clipboard without the user’s permission
macOS has "paste as plaintext" instead.
