reeeeee··on A Woman Who Lives 200k Years in the Past
The journalist writes that she "drives through the electric moss of the North Cascades". What does that mean?

I get a Database Error on the homepage. Hug of death?
reeeeee··on Facebook Dating launch blocked in Europe after it fails to show privacy workings
Is there a form somewhere that can be used to report websites that do not comply with GDPR?
reeeeee··on Old book illustrations from the 19th and 20th centuries: an online database
That is awesome, thank you for putting in some time for this!
reeeeee··on Visualising the amount of microplastic we eat
I wonder what the long term healh implications are going to be...
reeeeee··on Cosmoteer: A starship design, simulation, and battle game
I remember reading this so long ago, before I was interested in computers, and it didn't make a lot of sense then. Now, it's just beautiful.
reeeeee··on Sunsetting Hire
Why do they cancel this product? Are they losing profit over this? Were they working on any new features? If no new features are required, would it be such a hassle to just keep the product working without assigning engineers to it? Only support?
reeeeee··on Show HN: Base – API for authentication, email sending, images and more
I completely agree on this being a lot more approachable than Firebase. The premise of Firebase is so nice, but the amount of information when starting to look into it are overwhelming.
reeeeee··on A recent paper proposes to bring zeppelins back
This topic has been discussed for ages, but no feasible solution has been found as of yet.[1]

reeeeee··on Huawei Unveils Harmony, Its Answer to Android, in Survival Bid
> Yet, this new OS is still “plan B” for the Chinese technology giant, since Huawei will need to solve the biggest hole in the adoption of Harmony OS: the app ecosystem.

This is the sole reason that would prevent me from buying a smartphone with the Harmony OS.

Also, from the standpoint of a developer, Huawei releasing a new OS makes my life more complicated because there is a new platform that needs to be supported by my apps. If I decide to support it, though.

reeeeee··on A Natural History of the Sign
I came upon this page after an Indian collegue of mine called the '@' sign something along the lines of 'aderate'. I did not understand why, and after some searching an article popped up written by someone who had the exact same thing happen to him[1].

reeeeee··on In Ecuador, Political Actors Must Step Away From Ola Bini’s Case
The article talks about this case being a political one, but they never make clear what political motivation is involved...
reeeeee··on Computer Stupidities (2013)
Honestly, if it took the support guy 45 minutes to notice the cable not being plugged in...
reeeeee··on Computer Stupidities (2013)
As far as I know, this does not allow dragging files from one computer to another one. Logitech is not the first one to do this though, I already combined my Windows laptop and Debian tower into one triple screen computer 10 years ago, using Synergy[1] and an ethernet cable. There was no noticable delay, I miss that setup.

reeeeee··on A Readable Specification of TLS 1.3
Why is CloudFlare a cyberfascist firewall? If it is because you refuse to use JS? well too bad for you.

CloudFlare takes a strong position on freedom, and I admire them for it: https://www.wired.com/story/free-speech-issue-cloudflare/

reeeeee··on Electron 6.0
I've read a tutorial that creates a small desktop application using nw.js and vue, and the package size was 233 mb. This made me decide to use Electron after all.

here it is: https://dev.to/n_tepluhina/building-a-desktop-app-with-vue-n...

reeeeee··on Why Hypercard Had to Die (2011)
Great, thanks! I checked the menu but probably missed the language settings.
reeeeee··on The Undertakers of Silicon Valley (2018)
Why does it say that Pebble Tech is a failed company? I thought it was aquired by Fitbit?
reeeeee··on Why Hypercard Had to Die (2011)
Looks nice! But why is it in dutch? Does it load language settings based on location? Why can't I change it?
reeeeee··on Malicious code in the purescript NPM installer
There is not even a link to the source code on the npm page for it. I installed it and inspected the source code, but I doubt everyone does this when installing a dependency.
reeeeee··on National Eagle Repository
Whew, what would've been the punishment if they did find it?
reeeeee··on National Eagle Repository
Wait, I'm a European that was on a trip to Canada 2 years ago. A bald eagle flew by and lost one of its feathers mid flight. Naturally, I picked it up and took it back home.

On the way home, we had to make a stop at an American airport. If someone had seen or found the feather in my luggage, would it have been considered an offence?
