nullandvoid··on Nvidia’s Integration Dreams
Many consumers benefit from a good product they enjoy using, regardless of ownership of the stack behind it

The fact they own their full stack, has resulted in some of the most anti consumer parts of the business. Allowing monopolization on repairs / part pricing etc

nullandvoid··on Why I link to Wayback Machine instead of original web content
I experienced this just the other day.

I was browsing an old HN post from 2018, with lots of what seemed like useful links to their blog

Upon visiting it the site had been rebranded and the blog entries had disappeared

Waybackmachine saved me in this cass, but a link to it originally would have saved me a few clicks

nullandvoid··on Is Spotify Killing the Top 40?
The connection is, most people I know would listen to the radio in a car?

Not saying there's not other ways to consume. but as an anecdote myself or my partner never listen to radio anywhere but in my car either, it's pretty common I believe!

nullandvoid··on Habitica – A gamified habit-building and productivity app
I've been using cold turkey. Has a one off cost and manages applications and websites block lists, on a time block basis if you wish. Also includes a built in time tracker

One of the best purchases I've made. No affiliation just a happy customer

nullandvoid··on Mozilla project exposes YouTube's recommendation 'bubbles'
Do you still get the same enjoyment out of a video 10 times on, serious question?

I'm the kind of person that can never watch a film twice within the same year (normally longer), same with series

nullandvoid··on Yamato becomes Japan's first city to 'ban' use of phones while walking
More bans like this may well be a big driving force in the adoption and more rapid progression of AR tech
nullandvoid··on Amazon’s New Competitive Advantage: Putting Its Own Products First
Who said it was the only thing bought?

There was multiple items amazon decided not to bundle.

nullandvoid··on Ask HN: Moving from a startup to a big co, what should I be aware of?
Still sounds better than being a feature factory for someone else's vision.
nullandvoid··on Amazon’s New Competitive Advantage: Putting Its Own Products First
My girlfriend had nail varnish delivered in ana Amazon box 30x30cm it was ridiculous! So I wouldn't be singing too many praises on their packaging stance
nullandvoid··on Ask HN: Is there still a place for native desktop apps?
Pair that with some discord, vs code and chrome and all of a sudden my 16gb is getting maxed semi regularly

Just had to upgrade to 32 myself

nullandvoid··on Amazon is handing out 'Thank you' t-shirts to warehouse workers as it cuts pay
Doctors != majority of health care workers. They are an exception
nullandvoid··on Trading Is Hazardous to Your Wealth [pdf] (2000)
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I needed to nail that down immediately!

Do you apply ml techniques? I don't suppose you could point a little in a good direction to follow

nullandvoid··on Trading Is Hazardous to Your Wealth [pdf] (2000)
Do you have a background in finance / any recommended reading?

I've spent a lot of time on a automated trading side project of mine but haven't found the strategy yet.

In retrospect time has been spent in completely the wrong areas ( setup a solid backrest platform first, duh )

nullandvoid··on Reddit rolls out community currencies on Ethereum
Ever use d2jsp back in the day? Massive community / forum with a currency tied to each user ( and a black market to go with ), atleast back then it worked

Perhaps with the reddit demographic it may be a little different, however I have always wondered what a similar system would be like on reddit

nullandvoid··on Next.js 9.4 – Fast Refresh, Incremental Static Regeneration
Nope nothing. Just use create-react-app everything is pre-configured for you

It's as simple as `create-react-app my-app`, then `yarn start` for development, and `yarn build` to spit out production ready code into build folder

nullandvoid··on Next.js 9.4 – Fast Refresh, Incremental Static Regeneration
'yarn build' then copy build directory to web server
nullandvoid··on Show HN: Open – Free React landing page template
Why not? It's the most popular UI framework. The second you start building a SAAS product on top of those pages, you're not going to want to be in vanilla land.
nullandvoid··on Fastmail Labels Beta
My spam folder seems to catch a fair bit across my hundreds of aliases so far

Is that not the idea more than relying on the spam filter. Just delete aliases?

nullandvoid··on Deprecating password authentication in GitHub API
Isn't the idea you would have 2 factor auth on your account preventing any web brute force.

Then generate API keys on a per project reducing the attack surface in the case of breach?

nullandvoid··on Cryptocurrency Now Fully Legal in South Korea
Jokes aside it's pretty silly comparing a 10 year market to a 50/50 game of luck

Sure anyone can lose money and it's a gamble, but it's an educated one, roulette is not

nullandvoid··on N26 will be leaving the UK
Virtual cards.. sorry had forgot the name at the time thought the card alias term would be obvious haha
nullandvoid··on N26 will be leaving the UK
No card alias support at the minute they are trailing behind there
nullandvoid··on N26 will be leaving the UK
That's crazy my transfers between large traditional banks to internet ones in the uk is < 5 seconds
nullandvoid··on The Joy of Coding: Observable
Whats wrong with the domain. Do you not believe software could be considered a form of art ?
nullandvoid··on Ask HN: Are there any openly available software architecture documents?
I agonized over the best way to do this stuff for a while also and the best framework I've used so far is the C4 model (as mentioned elsewhere).

For documenting decisions on architecture this should be done as you go really but better late than never :). Using adr ( architecture decision records ) text / md files would be my approach. They will typically be kept alongside the code and source controlled

nullandvoid··on Learning Morse code in the 21st century
I recently enjoyed the chapter in "code" about Morse code [1]. After some googling around I also found this morse chat rook which is a good laugh for anyone looking to kill some time struggling to spell profanities in morse :) [2]

nullandvoid··on How tracking pixels work
Whilst I largely agree the quality of life developing in chrome was better than any competitor for a long period of time. Expecting everyone to stay in the loop and switch over night as firefox / alternatives have caught up seems silly

V8 is a powerful runtime and has enabled some great products regardless of Google's history in areas

nullandvoid··on AT&T to pay $60M over U.S. allegations it lied in 'unlimited data' pledge
Not sure if you're trolling or have no clue how ISPs work. They provide a pipe for data to travel through ( which can get congested ) however there is no requirement to store any of that data.
nullandvoid··on NSO hacked WhatsApp to spy on top government officials at U.S. allies
We have to make this knowledge of closed source systems not being safe more wide spread more approachable to the lamen.

It will take time but generations are slowly waking up to the bullshit. We need to be able to run open source code on servers in a transparent and reportable way that everyone can understand

I see services like whatsapp taking the stance it is essential. Its the only place I (barely) feel like I can speak my mind when chatting with non tech savvy friends (of which it would be a hard sell to get to install anything else more rock solid). I really hope we can adopt widespread e2e encrypted chat platforms moving forward and dont regress in this front else it will be a sad future

nullandvoid··on Teens are spending nearly half their waking hours on screens
I think as a child your mind is pretty easily distracted ( looking at you IT classes of my time where 90% + of the class would be sneaking on miniclip every time a teachers back was turned )

It's pretty essential if we're going to have those connected devices in the classroom there is a way to control it.

I would prefer rigorous blocking over teacher control - but reasonably I think it's kind of necessity in a classroom setting.
