molszanski··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
One can argue that Switzerland is doing a good job too. Also, it is profitable for existing plants for the next 60 years or so.
molszanski··on Tell HN: Meta is down
The joke was that the outage of the brain slop hq was a good thing and the person was a hero
molszanski··on Meta Down
I wouldn't credit AI before we know more

Maybe our hero is a human

molszanski··on Show HN: Semble – Code search for agents that uses 98% fewer tokens than grep
allegedly this one is good for PI https://pi.dev/packages/@ff-labs/pi-fff
molszanski··on OpenAI's WebRTC problem
I remember using webrtc data channel for p2p video. Browser to browser UDP is neat :) fun memories. Thank you for the read
molszanski··on Dithering with CSS
Awesome!
molszanski··on Talking to strangers at the gym
You can fully care about one person at a time.

You can not genuinely care about every person on the planet every moment.

They are still a decent bet

molszanski··on Show HN: Tired of logic in useEffect, I built a class-based React state manager
Potato potato. Js classes are just closure sugar. So what?

Syntax makes sense and improves readability in business logic. Readability is good

molszanski··on Samsung Magician disk utility takes 18 steps and two reboots to uninstall
Mobile apps handle app data better. They have their own well defined jail to work with. Simple to locate “stuff”
molszanski··on Samsung Magician disk utility takes 18 steps and two reboots to uninstall
I maintain a pretty complex app to draw 2D graphics for 3D objects. For packaging productions. Basically draw your packaging design with 3D preview. So this is basically a 2d3D editor with TONS of business and material knowledge.

It’s powered by react.

But it so decoupled from react you can slap mini gui in any other form / framework in a day

molszanski··on The future of code search is not regex – 100x faster than ripgrep
I think it is about input. Before I had to type regex, now I just type text and fuzzy finds more, regex style. Awkward wording, but code seems cool.
molszanski··on AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is more worrying
This is how organizations like IRGC work. There is always a big campus like area where there is everything, including schools for indoctrination and new future recruits.
molszanski··on Hold on to Your Hardware
> We won't be in a supply crunch forever.

This what always happens in capitalism. Scarcity is almost always followed by glut

molszanski··on The Age Verification Trap: Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection
> work at a European identity wallet system that uses a zero knowledge proof age identification system

> derives an age attribute such as "over 18" from a passport or ID, without disclosing any other information

Well, as soon someone points their chinaphone camera on a passport, it is already over.

This whole setup is a nightmare fuel.

You want to check over 18? Fine, let adults set their kids devices in a "child" mode. Problem solved.

No need to create a stasi dreamland.

molszanski··on Show HN: I built a macOS tool for network engineers – it's called NetViews
This looks so pretty and awesome :)
molszanski··on Rabbit Ear "Origami": programmable origami in the browser
This is a genuinely beautifully written book chapter on origami math/geometry, with interactive graphics and playgrounds.

I guess. In Poland when I go to gov offices I need to sign 25 GDPR clauses
molszanski··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
Is it a runner minute or workflow running minute? That would be a massive difference. Would people pay for idle time or not?
molszanski··on Boring is what we wanted
Replaced 12 mini with 17 pro. Not worth it. Will go back. Too big too heavy
molszanski··on How I bypassed Amazon's Kindle web DRM
I’ve stopped buying any books that have that kind of a DRM. Kindle / audible apps are horrible
molszanski··on Ask HN: How to stop an AWS bot sending 2B requests/month?
Maybe add this IP to a blacklist? https://iplists.firehol.org/ It would be easier to pressure AWS when it is there
molszanski··on Ultrasound is ushering a new era of surgery-free cancer treatment
AFIKR two facilities do this kind of treatment. One in Canada and one in China. There already was a HN threads with some reporting to have been treated in Canada.

Apparently, only some tumors have a distinct and unique shape / size. The “trick” is to calibrate the resonance exactly to the size of the cancer cell. So that resonance would “hurt” only that kind of shape / size cell. Which was much harder to do than it sounds. Sadly not all cancer cells are unique and not that “easily” distinguishable by size

But I am not in the medical field and just repeating what I’ve read.

molszanski··on Does our “need for speed” make our wi-fi suck?
Oh, one more idea. You can use existing coax cables (tv cable) via adapters to get 1-2 reliable gbps over cable. For e.g. a switch with an additional access point
molszanski··on The React Foundation
As easy as php for simple stuff. And can do complex SPA stuff.
molszanski··on The React Foundation
You can render html with astro without react. Plain old html templates with options
molszanski··on Does our “need for speed” make our wi-fi suck?
Try Powerline. This €40 device will turn your electrical sockets into an 100-500 mbps Ethernet cable. Simple and efficient. Just check if sockets you want to connect are on the same circuit breaker. If yes, chances are really high it would work very well.

I’ve connected a switch and a second access point with mine.

Also I think they work best if there fewer of them on the same circuit. But not sure. Check first.

molszanski··on The React Foundation
Try Astro my friend. React SSR with none of that next bs
molszanski··on Doing Rails Wrong
Not really I guess. Of course some tools are not mature, but many are mature and solid enough to solve real tech tasks.

Real problems are not caused by tools / problem generating systems but by silly people who fetishize complex tooling for simple jobs. Tooling is chosen not by merit but by hype.
