quasarjon <input type="password" maxlength="20"> prevents me from logging into Vanguard

I had the opposite issue with my power company for a while. The login page had a maxlength but the reset page didn't, so I had a password set that I couldn't enter... at least without modifying the page

quasarjon LinkedIn Larpmaxxing

Surely LinkedIn is just doing a "front page algorithm" and these are the posts he interacts with most? I've literally never seen a single one haha

quasarjon America.gov

Ah, I wondered. It stubbornly refused to admit what it really was, kept saying it was built by some never-heard-of group at the White House lol

quasarjon I'm not addicted to the internet or my smartphone. I'm addicted to information

Damn you beat me to it, I was going to say exactly that. What a nightmare!

quasarjon NEO Emacs – GPU-Accelerated Emacs Powered by Rust

Sure, but you can check yourself if you're worried about it.

quasarjon iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27

Yep, there's a whole set of censored phrases. Kill won't let you type a lot of things after it, including "him" and "her" (well, I haven't tested on iOS 27 yet). I haven't tried the white woman one though, that is cracking me up.

update: Okay I tried and sure enough, I'm laughing even harder now. The closest I could get it to swipe was "womanhood". Lots of Wohan's though.

quasarjon iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27

Sometimes I swipe the same word 5 times in a row and it gets it wrong every time, despite me being slower and more precise each time. I give up and type it by hand. Note: this is NOT the censorship issue, that's separate (where it will not allow you to swipe certain words or phrases AT ALL, no matter how hard you try. Like if you type "kill" it won't let you swipe "him" or "her" after it, though some other words work. There are many instances of this)

quasarjon iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27

OMG you're giving me PTSD just reading about it. It happens every single time!!!

quasarjon NEO Emacs – GPU-Accelerated Emacs Powered by Rust

I no longer see an issue with that, assuming it can be tested to prove it works. In this case, it's being tested (or well, claims to be) against real Emacs, which should be all that's needed.

quasarjon Kobo can run apps now

I wish there was more interest in bringing new things like this to the ReMarkable 2. There are some projects, but they are not great, and mostly I just want to get a good book-reading experience. Maybe I should try it myself, or well, have Claude try.

quasarjon Show HN: Omacosy – Omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIP

Very nice! I'll play with it for a few days and see how I like it. However: 3. Korren isn't in the Brewfile — build it from the korren repo: ./packaging/macos/build-app.sh --install

What korren repo? it doesn't even exist under your github user anymore...

quasarjon Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI

I'm confused, it looks like you've just written a new terse language that now costs money to compile?

quasarjon Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac

Why are you still on 15?

quasarjon Building and shipping Mac and iOS apps without opening Xcode

That's good to hear. I never even tried to make anything for macOS because I opened Xcode and.. well, you know.

quasarjon Building and shipping Mac and iOS apps without opening Xcode

The mistakes in the text made me doubt it was AI, but who knows, maybe it's doing that on purpose now

Wait, how are you supposed to say mate?

quasarjon Vim 9.2

Being dead has no impact on the truth, actually.

quasarjon Stranger Things creator says turn off “garbage” settings

I call it the "British comedy effect". And it's awful, and if you like it, you're awful too, sorry to say.

quasarjon We pwned X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord through a supply-chain attack

One of these days I'm gonna have to learn why cross-site scripting even matters, especially with modern browsers restricting a script's access to anything local

quasarjon 40 percent of fMRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity

Uh-oh

quasarjon Rats Play DOOM

How can he not include a video of it working? D:

quasarjon Confessions of a Software Developer: No More Self-Censorship

Same for me, though I'm trying to change it. Tests are great, but it's really really hard to add them to a project that didn't start with them.

quasarjon The terminal of the future

For better, my friend

quasarjon You already have a Git server

This is, in fact, what git was made for

quasarjon Man still alive six months after pig kidney transplant

That's a (bad) joke, right?

quasarjon Man still alive six months after pig kidney transplant

That's rough, I'm sorry for your loss. I've been on dialysis for 5 years now (in-center, I couldn't do home for.. reasons). In the beginning I was considering giving up, but it did finally get somewhat better, and I'm fairly well adjusted now. I mean, it still sucks (especially losing about 5 hours 3 days a week), but I'm able to not think about it when I'm not there, at least.

quasarjon Man still alive six months after pig kidney transplant

The rules are very strict, primarily with respect to weight. That is, was (and still am) fat, and that's a no-no. I've lost 120 pounds so far, with at least 10 more to go before I will finally be (possibly) approved!

quasarjon Man still alive six months after pig kidney transplant

I've been on dialysis for 5 years now... which means when I eventually get listed for transplant, I'll be at the top of the list, because nobody survives 5 years...

quasarjon It is worth it to buy the fast CPU

Where are the Apple Silicon chips in this comparison?
