skratlo··on Making JavaScript run fast on WebAssembly
And round and round we go

skratlo··on Launch HN: Fig (YC S20) – Autocomplete for the Terminal
> Fig's standard format

How is that a standard when you just came up with it? Any other existing autocompletion format is more standard than whatever you just released.

Fish does that by default
skratlo··on Voice2json: Offline speech and intent recognition on Linux
I now get the joke about Emacs and OS
skratlo··on Framework Laptop pre-orders are open, starting at $999
Why did you choose Intel over AMD?
skratlo··on Framework Laptop pre-orders are open, starting at $999
The display is fine, 4k / retina is not practical in any way, it's just marketing.

skratlo··on Use console.log() like a pro (2020)
That's an anti-feature. When you log something in traditional sense you are recording something at that time.
skratlo··on Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkit
Even though the article sounds like it's written by educated person, it puzzles me that the author:

> Installing packages with APT is not atomic: APTs updates files in-place one by one. Because we start Python processes many times per second, if one started during a deployment, it could import a mix of the old and new code. This regularly lead to puzzling bugs

Don't you stop all your services in preinstall and start them again in postinstall? Or, if you're packaging your python libs in deb pkgs, just stop the services before upgrading the system and start them again once you're done.

skratlo··on A woman who took on Google and won
Wow, just wow. Like, no one asked really but here you go
skratlo··on The Deno Company
> Of these, the web browser scripting language (JavaScript) is the fastest, most popular, and the only one with an industrial standardization process

Haha, this made me laugh hard, stopped reading

skratlo··on Yocto/GL: C++ Libraries for Data-Driven Physically-Based Graphics
It's great to see projects like this, it makes programming fun. Bite sized pieces that can be easily held in the head and reasoned about.
skratlo··on Yocto/GL: C++ Libraries for Data-Driven Physically-Based Graphics
I consider that a pro, no reliance on big-tech proprietary stuff. +1 for the author not going that way
skratlo··on America’s bald eagle population continues to soar
Bald eagle is one of the smallest eagles, it's slightly bigger than a seagull when other eagles are considered.
skratlo··on Mozilla plans to remove the Compact Density option from Firefox's Customize menu
I don't even care anymore, there's just one browser and that's the reality. I stopped using Firefox long time ago when they stopped caring about performance and stability. UI stability too.
skratlo··on FairEmail: Open-source, privacy friendly email app for Android
Comparing K-9 to FairEmail is like comparing Outlook Express (from Windows 95 fame) to Mozilla Thunderbird
skratlo··on Simulating CRT Monitors with FFmpeg (Pt. 1: Color CRTs)
Loving it! Get into shaders asap if you want to push it further.
skratlo··on Before you buy a Soviet Camera
> compete with the best of the West

> Soviet cameras appealed to a huge swathe of photographers with a limited budget

Whoever wrote this has zero respect. Some wannabe west superior looser. It's too bad, it could have been a nice article, but these remarks turned it into utter garbage.

skratlo··on I followed my dreams to get demoted to software developer
This is such a horrible misogynistic comment, it saddens me greatly this crap is on top, tells a tale about HN audience. Janitor? Charity? Hot female? Just listen to yourself, you're so full of hate.
skratlo··on Apache Arrow 3.0
Yay, another ad-tech support engine from Apache, great
skratlo··on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
This should help you:

chromium --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland & disown & exit

You can also adjust your .desktop Chrome launcher to use these flags

skratlo··on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
Hell does, and way better than on Xorg, less latency. Why do your spread lies? There's a pgtk and native-comp branch.
skratlo··on IKEA buys 11,000 acres of U.S. forest to keep it from being developed
Actually, you are kinda right here
skratlo··on Heavy social media use associated with lower mental health in adolescents
> Social media platforms are one of the most accessible forms of long-distance communication

E-mail? Have you heard of it? Signal? Other IM platforms. And you continue on selling social media as means of friendly communication which is not true. There's gazillion alternatives but those were all eaten up by the giants. All those use cases and people that you mentioned used mailing lists before and were doing just fine.

skratlo··on Cascade Studio: A Full Live-Scripted CAD Kernel and IDE in the Browser
Yeah, I'm not impressed by performance here, did you try this? https://donalffons.github.io/opencascade.js-examples/index.h...

It takes ages to load (probably gigantic wasm file), and ages to re-generate that silly bottle. I could live with the initial loading hog, but the performance of the actual kernel has to be there.

skratlo··on GNOME has no thumbnails in the file picker and my toilets are blocked
Gtk and GNOME is utter trash, it's going nowhere, has no art direction nor QA process. It's for the large part responsible for Linux desktops having negligible adoption. I wish there would be a open-source, but not free desktop environment built with Qt. Not free because you can't have just about everyone pushing their opinion on it. There has to be a team with strong design and QA skills behind it.
skratlo··on Switzerland – Europe's Silicon Valley for Developers?
I hope there won't be one, at the end, what good really came out of Silicon Valley anyway? The good parts can be equated to any other place where innovation takes place, be it in Europe or elsewhere. The rest is tons of crap and speculation.
skratlo··on Graphical User Interface Using Flutter in Embedded Systems [pdf]
It will likely not continue
skratlo··on Mobilizon – A free, federated tool for events and groups
It's great to see alternatives popping up everywhere, keep it coming
skratlo··on Google Play Music, Music Play Store and Music Manager are going away
Look at BlackPlayer, it's fairly simple and basic, but that's the main selling point for me
