siproprio··on HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops' CPUs
Not sure on computers, but video recorded with your phone camera is probably using HEVC.

And while phones usually have a hardware AV1 decoder, they probably don't have an AV1 encoder.

siproprio··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
Nope.
siproprio··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
Well se who lost no less than 7 days from now.

What’s the difference between Free Speech and Freedom of Expression?
siproprio··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
Yes. Brazilians were censored and moved to bluesky. Elon musk has problems with the law! Absolutely no overlap whatsoever. Also very interesting in its own way.
siproprio··on Ask HN: Vim or Neovim?
A hotloop in luajit has 56 iterations. http://luajit.org/running.html
siproprio··on Ask HN: Vim or Neovim?
Lua is small (44k), much simpler and easier to consume than python, supports multithreading, and much faster too if you consider luajit. I don't know when the neovim project adopted lua, but python got a jit this year.

The lua-users[1] website has some (rather outdated) comparisons.

siproprio··on Solving the Worst Problem in Programming Education: Windows
dude just https://www.msys2.org/
siproprio··on Ask HN: Vim or Neovim?
do you have any other language in mind that can be embedded into the editor like lua? i remember that sublime text had python, but i don’t remember anything relevant from then.
siproprio··on Ask HN: Vim or Neovim?
Lua is the correct choice. It’s not perfect, but there’s nothing better than it.

It’s the fastest scripting language and it’s easy to embed it into the application.

The ‘batteries’ can be found in `:h lua.txt`, they’ve grown significantly each release, and you can even use a package manager.

siproprio··on Ask HN: Vim or Neovim?
Idk when was this, but i use nvim on the terminal and it is fine, feels faster than vim, even.

And vim has bugs too, I have a list of nags that just aren’t going to be fixed on vim that were fixed on neovim.

Imho both are just fine.

siproprio··on ICANN's list of abandoned vanity TLDs
ICANN should open registrations to the public.
siproprio··on Windows File Explorer will be more powerful with version control and 7z
The zip/tar.gz support is just slow. It's just another thing that you'll have to manually disable now.
siproprio··on Alacritty – A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
I prefer wezterm. It comes bundled with libssh, connecting through ssh to WSL instead of going through wsl.exe makes everything feels at least 100x faster, since it avoid going through conpty.
siproprio··on Gio UI – Cross-platform GUI for Go
Can't even right click text lol
siproprio··on Ask HN: Is iCloud a viable alternative to Dropbox? Any other alternatives?
iCloud is not a viable alternative to dropbox because dropbox is everywhere, while iCloud is in apple, and begrudgingly on windows.

Also, iCloud frequently fails or has file conflicts when I use it on windows. I use Dropbox on Linux, android phones, on my iPhone, on windows, and on the Mac.

siproprio··on Logi AI Prompt Builder available today
It's horrible, it only allows me to bind to a mouse button, and all the mouse buttons available are used a lot.
siproprio··on Bash's sadly flawed smart (programmable) completion
yeah, zsh is just superior. it can even emulate bash!
siproprio··on NotepadNext – a cross-platform reimplementation of Notepad++
skill issue tbh
siproprio··on New ways we're tackling spammy, low-quality content on Search
Is there a cli tool for that? I have over 300 domains in my ublacklist list.
siproprio··on WebKit Features in Safari 17.4
What about better adblocking? As soon as Firefox hits the stores I’ll be switching.
siproprio··on Pulsar, the best code editor since Atom
> neither of them [vim, emacs] have a graphical user interface, and they are completely incapable of doing things like showing images or, for example, a Markdown preview (which by the way you can open in Pulsar by pressing Ctrl+Shift+M).

You can:

- See images in neovim: https://github.com/edluffy/hologram.nvim

- preview markdown: https://github.com/iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim

- have a “graphical” user interface: https://github.com/neovide/neovide

- have a GUI written in JavaScript: https://github.com/smolck/uivonim

You can’t put electron in the terminal, though, so it seems that pulsar lacks features that neovim has, while neovim does not lack any feature that pulsar has.

siproprio··on YouTube doesn't want to take down scam ads
In less than two decades, Google went from “Don't be evil” to “We censor fart jokes to provide brand safety for scammers using deepfake videos to prey on the poor”
siproprio··on Google resumes transition to Manifest V3 for Chrome extensions
so, adguard sold out?
siproprio··on Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
If 1password keeps applying their current development standards, I'm pretty sure Bitwarden will overtake them soon simply by virtue of not getting worse.
siproprio··on Ask HN: What is the best way to build a desktop app in Windows in 2023?
The namespace, basically.
siproprio··on Junk websites filled w AI-generated text pulling in money from programmatic ads
My personal experience is that Google is basically mostly garbage. The open web is dead.
siproprio··on Visa to acquire Brazilian startup Pismo for $1B
On the UX aspect, Brazil’s central bank has a heavy hand over the PIX experience, going as far as publishing the UX Guidelines[1] as Banking Regulation.

siproprio··on Tell HN: GitHub banned me permanently
I regret the comments because they caused me to be banned and were disruptive comments that violated the TOS of the service. This type of behavior is to be avoided in the future. The nature of disruption is not 100% clear to me, I asked for clarification but gh did not provide clarification.

Mail me at my username at duck.com and I’ll send you the handles of the account, you can search GitHub yourself. Some threads were deleted though.
