omgitsabird··on Show HN: Visualize your day as 144 rectangles
Seems better with a border radius of 1.25rem. Also making the border thickness very thin seems to help, as well as some making it more oblong.
omgitsabird··on SerenityOS Browser now passes the Acid3 test
"I think its really awesome to see just how fast you can move on these things, if um... you just get a bunch of people who really want to do it"

-- Andreas Kling on this progress: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa5_tW_eovM)

omgitsabird··on Developers spend most of their time figuring the system out
Then, not too long afterward, they forget everything.
omgitsabird··on SerenityOS Browser now passes the Acid3 test
Aren't there some hard problems on leetcode?

I can see this analogy as:

"Don't do your math homework. Instead, find hard math problems in real life to solve."

omgitsabird··on Ask HN: What is a modern Java environment?
I guess I was implying that I don't view the benefits between the prior and the later as an onto mapping.
omgitsabird··on Ask HN: What is a modern Java environment?
> We avoid the fanfare of Docker, as really it's not needed for Java apps; they're somewhat self-contained anyway and it created more problems than it solved.

What does this mean?

omgitsabird··on Web3 is centralized and inefficient
Also, those services are much more than email, so the analogy that the author is trying to build to bolster their argument doesn't really work.
omgitsabird··on Two-minute battery changes push India’s delivery riders to switch to e-scooters
Sure, but how does this system work? Especially with newer services, like ride sharing, where people use personal vehicles to transport people within these areas?
omgitsabird··on Inflation and the housing question
> If you nationalize housing and hold prices low, then there will be supply shortages where some folks will not be able to get housing who would happily pay your price.

If you nationalize housing, wouldn't you also subsidize supply?

omgitsabird··on Two-minute battery changes push India’s delivery riders to switch to e-scooters
How will that ever happen when delivery, moving, construction, etc are essential parts of the economy for "large parts of cities"?
omgitsabird··on Writing a device driver for Unix V6
yeah, there is a lot more in the last 16 years...

i too suffer from immediate references to tell me i know nothing, but we are all the same, reading the same stuff, even right here...

omgitsabird··on We changed our roof and cut CO2 emissions
To preface, I am not trying to nitpick here. I am generally curious.

Is this a correct usage of amortization?

omgitsabird··on Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain
It seems strange to imagine telling someone who isn't going to experience anything ever again anything at all.
omgitsabird··on Ask HN: Neurodiversity/ADHD Friendly Companies
This is interesting.

What are you looking for specifically? What does a neurodiversity program look like at a company? What, to you, makes a company neurodiversity-friendly?

omgitsabird··on Scientists raise alarm over ‘dangerously fast’ growth in atmospheric methane
Speaking of diffuse, how do you sequester something that is at super low concentrations like atmospheric methane?

As an analogy, my home reverse osmosis filter doesn't even come close to touching things that are in the parts per billion.

Also, it isn't as if atmospheric methane is evenly distributed across the globe [0]. How do you expect to collect methane across borders?

omgitsabird··on PHP – The Right Way
> created by language amateurs > all of that is gone and they are still stuck with a subpar language

The argument is that the language is "awful" and "subpar" because it has "early decisions" like "multiple thousands of built-in" global functions introduced by "language amateurs"?

Sorry, but I remain unconvinced.

I agree that there are real reasons that PHP fails as a language in particular use cases, but it seems rare that those reasons get articulated in these threads.

omgitsabird··on PHP – The Right Way
There are a plethora of articles for "foo best practices" or "bar done right".

I feel like you are stretching a quote to fit a premise that doesn't match the context of this thread or article.

omgitsabird··on PHP – The Right Way
> more mature infrastructure and better language

What does this mean?

omgitsabird··on No-JavaScript Fingerprinting
I didn't review the linked projects, but isn't the "untrackable" browser one that does not implement or spoofs most APIs?

I think it would be, for the most part, trivial to make a text-based or extremely stripped down browser on top of existing projects, if you had the contracts mapped for appropriate code generation. There are IDLs for most Web APIs, so that is a head-start.

I think this would be achievable, but not as a browser that most people would want to use.

omgitsabird··on I hacked SONOS and YouTube the same day
With the right attitude, you can rip from streams and play it for free from Winamp. You can also buy a lot of music as an MP3.
omgitsabird··on Ask HN: At a peak of my dev career, I hate my life
> short guys looking for girlfriends, unattractive/aging women looking for husbands

These sound like buckets you created to fulfill your own subjective stereotypes.

> Doing things by myself is boring and depressing, and getting into a group of "normal" friends, of both genders, to hang out and laugh with, seems like an impossible goal.

This is a harsh thing to say, but maybe its you. You disparage people who are looking for the same thing in the previous paragraph.

> I feel that finding a non-coding job would be ultimately the best way to find new social groups

As someone who has worked many non-coding jobs, I can assure you that it is not.

omgitsabird··on Society has a trust problem. More censorship will only make it worse
You can wear a SCBA for hours. You can also find P100 cartridges that eliminate smells from VOCs and "gases".
omgitsabird··on Society has a trust problem. More censorship will only make it worse
Who is being censored? Sure people are banned from communities, but that is nothing new.

For most people, to host a blog, one can host a server at their house, through their own ISP, use the latest static website package, and share some links. It is a very low barrier to entry.

I think what people are actually saying is that they want the followers that these platforms provide them. They want to be able to push notifications and invade peoples' inboxes. They want entry into their day-to-day. You can't get that from your own host.

omgitsabird··on Two weeks later David Bennett is alive, his pig’s heart beating soundly
Justice, by definition, necessitates objectivity.

omgitsabird··on AirPods don't “just work”
Does no one else view "it just works" as an incredibly annoying phrase?
omgitsabird··on Two weeks later David Bennett is alive, his pig’s heart beating soundly
Why do you think that?

Lets say a man goes to prison for 25 years for murder, and upon release the victim's husband kills him. The victim's husband gets revenge, but is it just?

Justice shouldn't be subjective, imo.

omgitsabird··on Two weeks later David Bennett is alive, his pig’s heart beating soundly
Some want vengeance in place of justice.

That is not a universal statement[0]. They may get lower priority in many cases, but MELD[1] or a similar model is used to determine who gets priority for liver transplant.
