maremmano··on How Monero Fulfilled Satoshi's Promise
What about Monero competitors? I think about ZCash or, maybe, some new kids on the block? :)
maremmano··on Should You Hire Developers Who Don't Use AI?
No, you should hire developers who can code independently without AI, yet leverage it effectively as a tool.
maremmano··on Ask HN: Examples of O1 pro DeepResearch proving its worth?
I found this on X and it seems like a good workflow to use the two tools together:

o1 PRO - https://chatgpt.com/share/67a817e1-7d4c-8001-bea7-b45d34c8e7... DeepResearch - https://chatgpt.com/share/67a817ec-e360-8001-af8f-1748080ea1...

maremmano··on Ask HN: Why buy domains and 301 redirect them to me?
It’s likely an attempt to steal usernames and passwords for privilege escalation. I had a large corporate client who faced a very similar issue. In their case, the scammer not only registered similar domains but also created Google Ads campaigns targeting those domains. It’s worth investigating further and taking preventative measures to protect your brand and users.

maremmano··on Break My System, Please
Is this still a thing when we have uv?
maremmano··on Python Is the New Basic
Is the brick more important than the building? each level of abstraction has its use case and its advantages (and disadvantages). Better not to criticize the level of abstraction but to try to improve it. Even from the bottom with better bricks if possible.

Is there an Anti-Innovation and an Anti-Tech and an Anti-Business sentiment from EU?

Status quo ante technium :)

maremmano··on A Tongue-in-Cheek Look Back at Broderbund's 'The Print Shop' (2021)
For those interested in PrintMaster (often dismissed as a PrintShop copycat, though I disagree with this) there are preserved examples on:

https://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_abandon/ltf_jeu.php?i...

The relationship between these programs is quite fascinating, as it led to legal action between Brøderbund (PrintShop) and Mindscape (PrintMaster). Interesting passage from the case: For example, in the "Custom Layout" screen of "Print Shop," the user is instructed to press the "Return" key on the Apple keyboard. Similarly, in the "Custom Layout" screen of "Printmaster," the user is instructed to press the "Return" key on the IBM keyboard. Actually, the IBM keyboard contains no "Return" key, only an "Enter" key. Lodge admitted that Unison's failure to change "Return" to "Enter" was a result of its programmers' intense concentration on copying Print Shop

maremmano··on A Tongue-in-Cheek Look Back at Broderbund's 'The Print Shop'
Woah! Print shop and PrintMaster was awesome on IBM AT with EGA or, maybe VGA (I don't remember exactly). I remember I was selling prints in my school back then.

Bentornato ;)
maremmano··on My Subscriptions in 2024 – Worth It or Not?
Curious to hear which subscriptions other users find essential and which ones they could do without
maremmano··on New Italian Law Threatens ISPs with Prison over Piracy Reporting Failures
Born and raised in Italy. Your analysis is too optimistic. The country is doomed under countless other aspects. And the EU will follow. We should run away from this dystopia
maremmano··on Ask HN: Have LLM or generative AI made you more productive?
I use LLMs in various use cases for some of my client companies, with excellent results. I would say that they make some processes much more productive. If not, they make some processes possible that were not possible before. i.e. retrieving structured data from unstructured informations at scale.
maremmano··on Ask HN: Best Self Hosted Emails Service?
I'm using mailinabox.email without problems. It's great.
maremmano··on Ask HN: Which alternative to Python for personnal use would you recommend?
Go Lang. Look no further :)
maremmano··on The von Neumann-Morgenstern Collaboration (1938-43)
Reading THE MANIAC right now under the beach umbrella. So this is really on time.
maremmano··on A Letter from Orkut Büyükkökten
I used Orkut many years ago. I remember it was very popular in Brazil.

Dieter Rams, Dieter Rams everywhere. Love TE products
maremmano··on I Received an AI Email
Is email doomed?
maremmano··on Are AlphaFold's new results a miracle?
I'm totally clueless about the topic (protein folding), but this stuff is very interesting. From the article, it seems that AlphaFold 3 is just a biochem version of GPT or what? From what I've heard, the older AlphaFolds had some special tricks for protein prediction. Am I missing something?
maremmano··on [dead]
Oh man, this hits so hard. Just got a request from the mkt dept at a corp I collaborate with to sync a db table to a Google Sheet. Yeah, I've done it, but now my soul is eternally damned.

Moreover, people keep messing with the sheet, sorting, adding, and moving columns like it's a free-for-all. Can you imagine the mess?

maremmano··on Ask HN: React, Vue or Angular?
Svelte? HTMX? a lot depends on the type of application you intend to develop.
maremmano··on Ask HN: How can a website copy mine in real time?
Realtime? DNS?
maremmano··on Ask HN: What is your ChatGPT customization prompt?

maremmano··on Dog owner whose pit bulls killed 86-year-old fined $18K
The person does not adequately supervise your dog.

You die.

The person must be criminally and civilly responsible. An 18K fine is an insult. I love dogs and I love animals. I don't like irresponsible people.

maremmano··on How did Ancient Greek music sound?
Every year, for about 10 years, I have spent a month's holiday in Greece, in the Cyclades, in Crete.

Visiting Greece, especially the more remote regions, is an experience that I recommend to everyone.

It is a journey into the past that only some regions of the world can still offer.

There are places in the Peloponnese where you can really breathe in the history. Lately I've been very interested in ancient (and not so ancient) Greek music.

It's not easy to find really original sounds (not heavy modernization) so this post is really welcome.

Thank you
