path411··on I want a computer that I own
In your scenario what do you even use the 3 for? Just web browsing?
path411··on Ask HN: Are domain name companies selling queries to front runners?
Yep, even if I don't end up hosting on namecheap, I always do my searches there
path411··on Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
Why are your godot tutorials across different channels? Is there a single site or something I can sub to for all of your tutorials?
path411··on Ask HN: Do you think Agile/Scrum is beneficial for software delivery?
Honestly I feel like a team that communicates healthily in channels on slack kinda defeats the entire purpose of stand ups. At my current job, we even have the customers for my team in slack channels and they are highly communicative, so honestly it makes the whole scrum model seem just a waste of time when I can start a question/thread right in slack with the product owners/customers
path411··on Changes to LastPass Free
It's them trying to go backwards. Originally free only worked on desktop. When they allowed mobile on free, a lot of people cancelled their premium. The other really crappy part, premium was only $12 then. I don't really see modern lastpass as 3x more valuable then it was then.

I think they are just betting on enough people staying because people are too scared to swap

path411··on Dependency Confusion: How I Hacked Into Apple, Microsoft and Other Companies
I haven't used private packages, but it astonishes me you don't just add private packages with some kind of flag so it knows to not try to pull a public package.

Anyone who uses this must have already understood and just overlooked this vulnerability when they realize their private package must have a unique name that doesn't match a public package

path411··on Visa and Plaid Abandon Merger After Antitrust Division’s Suit to Block
The plaid flow is typing your bank credentials into a domain not controlled by your bank, it's pretty big fail right at the start.
path411··on CIA Releases UFO Documents
Yeah but how do you explain a dozen+ kids all together, susceptible to group hallucinations to the extent of a being walking within arms length? That's a lot different than a dot in the corner of your eye or a group of witnesses mistaking something. Add in video interviews of the children by a Harvard psychologist, you get an incredibly compelling story that is very hard to come up with some simple answer
path411··on Hallucinations re: the rendering of Cyberpunk 2077
Seems like hacks to make the game run better on consoles. PC def doesn't disappear stuff you aren't looking at.
path411··on JavaScript for Microcontrollers
Use typescript then
path411··on TikTok to Sue U.S. over Ban
How does the Chinese government sue the us government for not having American rights? This literally makes no sense. How can do many people here not understand that Chinese created companies literally are owned and operated by their gov? How do you think the great firewall/mass gov censureship/social scores work?
path411··on How I made a 3D game in 2 KB of JavaScript
No, it means the assets have been reworked to support a higher resolution.
path411··on Websites have evolved back to static HTML/CSS/JS files
Give someone an excel file and they are perfectly happy. Give them a web app to do the same process and suddenly their "needs" forces you to completely abstract all of the concepts to something entirely unrecognizable from the start.

It seems to me I see more and more a growing distance between how data is stored in a sql db and how the data is actually rendered or represented in the application.

path411··on Anxiety and burnout: why kids are consumed with worry
I think a common problem is that often they become non-creative subjects when taught in school. Standardized tests frame them as a pursuit to find the same steps and answers as the mythical answer key, instead of a pursuit of exploring and building solutions to questions/problems.
path411··on Apple tells suppliers to produce 10% fewer new iPhones
Or he would have likely kept applying new technology. New technology is still being invented. There are just less steve jobs to actually apply it. I see it like the current movie industry. Lots of reboots and old franchises as they are "safe bets" for the share holders. No one wants to be the guy to make a huge flop and get fired.
path411··on The unlikely resurgence of Dungeons and Dragons
Probably more like the 'dumpster' of ttrpgs. I think almost anyone outside of the genre has no idea that it even is a brand name.
path411··on We can confirm that there was a successful 51% attack on Ethereum Classic
> If the network was degraded a revote is possible.

That's kinda the essential problem. If you can trigger a revote, then the attacker will stuff the ballot to make their's the winner.

path411··on Start with a Website, Not a Mobile App
Twitter had this some problem and went with the same solution of cutting out 3rd party apps. This is the age old piracy debate relived. People aren't using 3rd party apps because they want to skip ads, they are using them because they provide better functionality/user experience. Companies stupidly allow a 3rd party to take over all of their market share on mobile, and then make up complaints when they finally get around to making their own app.
path411··on Show HN: Browsh – A modern, text-based browser
Seems like it only looks for the 32bit FF binaries on windows so I can't run it sadly. Even tried copying over the 64 bit to the location, but I guess as expected got a reference pointer error.
path411··on Guidelines for Brutalist Web Design
Is it not computing to 16px for your screen? I feel like you must have problems on 99% of websites if 16px font does not render large enough for you to read. Heck, HackerNews renders at 10.6/12px for me.
path411··on Against privacy defeatism: why browsers can still stop fingerprinting
What's to prevent the server from sending you a unique hash?
path411··on Why you should not use Google Cloud
Well, "grey" can mean a lot of things when you are talking about the same company that moderates Youtube.
path411··on Why you should not use Google Cloud
I haven't tried workspaces. Will I get better performance from my chromebook than just using cloud9? Cloud9 is also incredibly cheap.
path411··on Why you should not use Google Cloud
It just generates a bunch of unnecessary comments in a thread. There's already like 8 in this chain for example.
path411··on "Pwned Passwords" V2 With Half a Billion Passwords
He's talking about how each password should use a separate salt. This is normally stored next to the password hash. Many hashing algo implementations will even do this for you.
path411··on "Pwned Passwords" V2 With Half a Billion Passwords
Use a password manager. It's so ridiculously easy to setup and makes it so much easier to log into sites.
path411··on Intel Responds to Security Research Findings
Bugs don't cause security leaks, it's the hackers that do! Software security is really just a social problem.
path411··on U.S. Navy to use Xbox 360 controllers to operate periscopes aboard submarines
Dude, it's Microsoft. Most of their business is to the government.
path411··on How the Bitcoins Were Stolen from Mt. Gox [video]
What would you do if someone you cared about was falling for a Nigerian scam?
path411··on Show HN: I'll mail Equifax your arbitration opt-out for free
It doesn't matter if it is, it will easily scare off a lot of people.
