temeritatis··on OpenShot 4.0 – Open-source video editor
I tried openshot, shotcut and kdenlive. They all felt rather cheap. Flowblade was a nice surprise tho.
temeritatis··on Tauri 2.0 tries to make mobile apps crossplatform
> mainly to reduce the memory and app size footprints, which are the main things everybody complains about with Electron

Those are annoyances. But the way an app feels and behaves is the main culprit IMHO. I'd rather have a heavy app that looks and feels native than the other way around.

I don't know about museeks tho. Never tried it. But best of luck with the port in any case!

temeritatis··on Netflix: Piracy is difficult to compete against and growing rapidly
> the use of this language is widespread and subject to rapid global growth Touché!
temeritatis··on Broadcom to Cut Almost 1,300 VMware Jobs in California After Takeover
VMWare has the best virtual graphics performance IMHO. Hyper-V or Virtualbox is just painful in comparison. Until graphic vendors support partitioning GPU resources to allow sharing the main GPU to a VM using passthrough, it will likely remain one of the best options for many.
temeritatis··on Nutrient found in beef and dairy improves immune response to cancer in mice
Looks like a solid approach. I've mostly gravitated in the same direction after my last "mystery disease". I would add yoga/meditation and mindfulness to that list as well as the importance of sleep. Sleep seem to impact me more than anything else. I used to be up all night working and coding. I like the night. But it seems more and more obvious to me how bad this is for my wellbeing. That, and also to get enough natural sunlight during the day, but this is also intimately linked with sleep of course.
temeritatis··on Ask HN: I get anxiety working with computers
No it's not about the internet for me, just the work aspects of sitting in front of a computer. But i will admit that all the remote work and studies did NOT help at all. I pretty sure that being starved of almost all (real) social interactions during that period contributed to this situation.
temeritatis··on Ask HN: I get anxiety working with computers
Alright i'll consider talking to someone. I think i might get access to a counselor through my uni. And when my economy gets better i can seek out a professional. Thanks for the advice, it's nice to know someone else went through something like this and made it through!
temeritatis··on Ask HN: I get anxiety working with computers
The pomodoro approach seems like a step in the right direction. I'll try it out for sure! I'm also considering moving to a low carb approach instead of keto. Only reason i stayed in ketosis for so long is it's actually quite pleasant and from what i can tell from studies it increases GABA in the brain which is a godsend when you're struggling emotionally. Thanks for the suggestions fellow human.
temeritatis··on An Overview of Ruby on Rails 7.1 Features. Part III
> and I found ruby to be really difficult to understand

This is my one pain point with JS actually. I've tried getting comfortable for literally years. Sometimes when i look at how stuff is done in JS, it's so incredibly alien to me. I just can't wrap my head around what is happening.

I was hoping it would go away with time. Unfortunately it doesn't. Maybe it's the "flexibility" of the language or something.

temeritatis··on Bitwarden Acquires Passwordless.dev
> There are a few basic features missing, such as that if I search for something I wrote in the notes of password, that the client shows the according password

It might be that your search term is a partial of a word. This is fine when searching some fields, but for finding entries with that word in the notes section, the search term needs wildcards. You can read more about it here: https://bitwarden.com/help/searching-vault/

But to paraphrase: "notes: Item's notes. Only full-word matches will be listed unless you use wildcards."

Hope it helps.

temeritatis··on How many layers of UI inconsistencies are in Windows 11?
This! Why would you at LEAST not give the option? It's such a central piece of the whole OS. We interact with windows ALL the time. I'm getting too old for this crap LOL.
temeritatis··on Windows Subsystem For Linux a.k.a. WSL 1.0.0 released
Wow i didn't know about that project. Thanks for sharing!
temeritatis··on Windows Subsystem For Linux a.k.a. WSL 1.0.0 released
I wish they could finally include some mechanism to map running WSL instances to a hostname / static ip. Also, a big difference to running a vmware instance is that you never know when the WSL instance is shut down, and you can't save the "state", that is, hibernate or suspend it.

Honestly, i just want a replacement for vmware that uses less resources. So i can run a completely isolated desktop for each project i'm working on. Suspend it, reboot my machine, and then load it up and continue where i left off, all windows and terminal sessions intact. The last bit assumes one can run a (non ephermal) graphical desktop of course, which rules out docker pretty much.

temeritatis··on Box breathing techniques and benefits
Check out Ujjayi or "oceans breath" if you're interested in breathwork. The latter name refers to the sound that happens as you breathe in and out in this way. All you need to do is to constrict the back of your throat as you exhale, which makes the exhale longer in a very organic and natural fashion. Because of the slower exhalation it is said to stimulate the vagus nerve in a very positive manner. More people need to learn about the link between a healthy body (and mind) and the vagus nerve IMHO.
temeritatis··on Ask HN: Help me pick a front-end framework
> guess it would be best to create a mini app (reading a list of things from a backend and render it and maybe delete something from the list) in two or three frontend frameworks and then choose the one that felt the nicest for you.

This is really good advice. I did that when evaluating react, vue and angular once upon a time. It was pretty clear to me after that what framework i would like to work with, despite what people said about each one at the time.

temeritatis··on Microbiome-driven effects of non-nutritive sweeteners on human glucose tolerance
I'd like to add monk fruit to that list. Usually you wanna combine: (monk fruit OR stevia) + (erythritol OR xylitol) to get a very nice flavor. Stevia or monk fruit on their own are "flat" in sweetness but very strong. The xylitol or erythritol gives some fullness, or body.
temeritatis··on Declining quality of consumer-grade products – 2009 fridge compressor autopsy
I knew planned obsolescence was a thing, but this is just insane to me! At best, it's really disingenuous (which is bad enough). No wonder we have so many conspiracy theorists. They've somehow socially engineered this situation to be acceptable (and relatively unknown).
temeritatis··on Why does iron deficiency cause fatigue, even in the absence of anemia?
That is super interesting, thanks for sharing! Sometimes, less is more.
temeritatis··on AltTab: Windows Alt-Tab on macOS
Which sucks if you like me want to keep virtual spaces (or desktops) separated. I only want to see windows (or apps) running on the current desktop in the dock, which kind of breaks that (apple app) model i suppose. This is doable in windows (and a few DEs in linux) but not in Mac OS unfortunately.
temeritatis··on AltTab: Windows Alt-Tab on macOS
Wow, i didn't know that Window 11 is forcing grouping of windows. This is pretty my biggest problem with Mac OS which is why i always stayed with Windows. No reason to do so any more i guess.
temeritatis··on Tell HN: You can't add “no ads” in your Play Store app's title
> why can't I filter out apps that aren't open source?

This is laughable. It's 2021 and we still can't to basic filtering in our app stores. Maybe google (and Apple) engineers only know SELECT, but haven't learned about WHERE yet? Yeah i know it's a little much to demand. I mean we only went to the moon like 52 years ago.

temeritatis··on Megaprocessor – A micro-processor built large (2016)
I often wondered i could build some sort of general computing machine if we were pushed back to the dark ages or something. I guess you have to define exactly at what level of technological achievements we were pushed back to. But with the knowledge we have today, and without ICs (or advanced manufacturing facilities) and only "simple electronics" (whatever that would be) if this would be possible. Fun stuff to think about!
temeritatis··on Does ES6 make JavaScript frameworks obsolete?
Honestly, i feel that JS needs an official standard library. Also, wouldn't it be nice if typescript was a first class citizen (no transpiling).
temeritatis··on Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine
Absolutely. I am nitpicking. And i am in a mood to debate to be honest so i hope you're not offended. I too use commonly accepted assumptions in daily life. However, in debates i try to steer clear of them (reasons outlined above). But to each his own! Have a good night fellow human :)
temeritatis··on Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine
I don't wanna be a jerk, but honestly that proves my point. The correct wording would be; "there's a high probability that we can". But saying "we can" is clear cut. You provide strong arguments, but unless you have a time machine, you can't argue in definitives.
temeritatis··on Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine
Just because lots of people do it doesn't mean it's a rational thing to do. As i see it, the only thing that matters in science is to be factual. If we stop being impeccable with our words, we are no better than the conspiracy nuts.

To say that the evidence would have been here now is simply not true because we can't possibly know WHEN symptoms will present.

What would be more appropriate would be to say that in the time frame from when people started getting vaccinated until now it doesn't seem like the vaccines are causing to many serious side effects. That is fair to say. What about in 5 years? We DON'T know. This is a fact.

temeritatis··on Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna Covid-19 vaccine
> We've now administered billions of doses of Covid vaccines. If there were serious problems they'd be evidence by now.

Listen, this sort of argumentation creates mistrust. If this is how seemingly rational people argue (and dear god i hope it's not) then no wonder there is a lot of mistrust in society around these matters. Or maybe you were sarcastic, and in that case, you got me!

temeritatis··on Canberra asks to introduce detection capabilities in encrypted communication
> cyberbullying material targeted at an Australian child

Oh that didn't take long

temeritatis··on Apple to scan iPhones for child sex abuse images
Scratch that. I think i get it now. They now have that capability BUILT IN locally, which might mean it can possibly be used via remote command on-demand (on for example non icloud pictures). Which is kind of scary.
temeritatis··on Reflections on 10k Hours of Programming
Oh certainly. In fact, caching issues (on multiple levels) is a constant pain in the ass in my line for work anyway. It can be so subtle sometimes that you spend hours looking at something that shouldn't be an issue. But it is, and i think we all know why.
