nofunsir··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
I'm sure the cellar was also documented, Arthur eventually found it, did he not?

Mailing lists are basements in 2026

nofunsir··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
Here's a stoichiometric bird for you:

:%s/git 3\.0/python 3.0/g

nofunsir··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
No I'm not. Real thumbs here. If anything this paragraph sounds like LLM slop

The plans have been on display in a cellar. Beware of the leopard.
nofunsir··on The top secret URSALA, RAQUEL, and FARRAH satellites (2025)
You'd think a star shield would be pointed toward the cosmos. Less of a shield and more of a planet-wide real-time inward-pointing "cool" device.
nofunsir··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
It's more than possible to make it to adulthood without ingesting a drop of alcohol, even if you're talking about fermented fruit. It's easy, in fact.

What does this even mean? Hand our remote controlled flying nuclear powered Von Neumann state machine sensors over to matrix multiplication?

Listen to "What Time Is It?" by Ken Nordine. It's a treat.
nofunsir··on No leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2026
The Three Gorges Dam has already given us 22 more microseconds in the year. Basically, the Chinese have converted the angular momentum of every molecule on Earth, including you... into electricity.

You're making this up to justify subscription model guilt. Nobody (besides those on here) EXPECTS this. In fact, most would rather live with the risks than deal with subscription model, let alone the headaches of updating and it breaking everything (i.e. causing a chain reaction that you have to update EVERYTHING in order to fix a small non-issue).

I, in fact, do NOT want continuous maintenance. Ever. I will literally never turn on auto-updates for the rest of my life.

> When done properly you don't even notice!

This lame argument should be added to the List of Fallacies. It's used everywhere as a "wild card" argument.

nofunsir··on How far behind is each major Chromium browser?
What if I see a browser being "behind" as a benefit? (CVEs excepted)
nofunsir··on They're made out of meat (1991)
It's already a feature (click the link domain).
nofunsir··on Show HN: TinyOS – A minimalist RTOS for Cortex-M written in C
What ever happened to μC/OS?

Seemed both well documented and well suited to have taken over for the current MCU explosion. I almost never see anyone talk about it.

Looks like it open-sourced in 2020.

Wrong.

nofunsir··on What your Bluetooth devices reveal
iBeacon. They know what shelf you're standing in front of. What products you touch and read.

Ever been in an Apple store? Look up. In the dark voids between the edge-to-edge backlit ceiling. There are secrets there. Watching you.

nofunsir··on Converting a $3.88 analog clock from Walmart into a ESP8266-based Wi-Fi clock
This will pair nicely with the eps8266 i just flashed after ripping it out of a Wyze plug that required I download their app, updating my operating system first of course, make an account and agree to their privacy policy.
nofunsir··on Xcode 26.3 – Developers can leverage coding agents directly in Xcode
Why is it still called Xcode, if they abandoned the name OS X?
nofunsir··on A website to destroy all websites
ps. default chrome is no longer a valid user agent, by pure definition.
nofunsir··on A website to destroy all websites
screenshots aren't 'proof.' and haven't been for a long time, neither was i ever looking for 'proof'. wow, the amount of webdev butthurt at someone's website who criticized webdevs is astounding.

I'm not gaslighting you. Are you just willy nilly accusing me of lying that nothing was covered up in MYYYYY browser? What about Lynx? hmm? What a garbage community member you are.

I just re-read the entire thing. It is good. You're misrepresenting or you need to check your browser settings.

No image blocks any paragraph, which even if it had, would be far more forgivable than modern web design. Do you consider any of Apple's modern product pages -- which "block off whole portions of" the page itself by scrolljacking and Clockwork-Oranging you to force you to watch their hypnotic marketing animations -- bad?

nofunsir··on A website to destroy all websites
Let me guess, you want a site that is just a singular column of text, plenty of space for ad breaks, and 3/4 of your monitor is just whitespace on the left and right?
nofunsir··on Ask HN: How do you handle release notes for multiple audiences?
Joke lost in translation. He's implying those who engage in these types of nonsense release notes often add bugs instead of fixing them.
nofunsir··on Ask HN: How do you handle release notes for multiple audiences?
I read every single one. Any app that does this gets uninstalled and a nasty letter to software managers.
nofunsir··on Ask HN: How do you handle release notes for multiple audiences?
Don't underestimate the effort a software developer will put forth to create mountains of complicated automation and scripts if it allows them to be lazy. And they see no issue with this. So why would they see an issue being accountable for yet another agile cycle.

Rev number go up!
