tenryuu··on The dystopian world of software engineering interviews
I feel this personally. But I suppose the author is doing a lot better job that I could of as I typically just don't receive a response at all to anything I would apply for. Finding work here feels quite tough, and even with recently graduating with a bach in CS, I ended with contract work writing English content for Japanese websites. It's not demanding and pretty breezy, but at the very least keeps me from turning up homeless.
tenryuu··on McDonald's app bug let people order for free in France
My father has also had this issue, on his first order too. It's interesting since the application is used in various countries around the world too, it's just re-branded and given it's own unique app.

I wonder if it's just as garbage everywhere else

tenryuu··on CERN Ends Trial of Facebook Workplace
That's exactly what someone at CERN holding tech to end life would say ;)
tenryuu··on Dark Horse Discord
My office365 subscription is cheaper, and I get a entire terrabyte of storage. If you're willing to pay for for convenience I guess
tenryuu··on WikiHow’s art is made by a network of freelancers, mostly in the Philippines
Wasn't blocked.

tenryuu··on SMS is not 2FA-secure
I don't really trust Authy being used as much as I think anyone else would. For the sites that I have used it with, an Authy account, or just the app is not required. Therefore codes are just sent over plain SMS.

Consider this scenario. Twitch now enforces the use of all accounts that want to stream all require the use of 2FA, after the whole artifact fiasco. Anyone over the age of 13 is able to do this. I don't expect everyone at this age to have a phone number, and I assume these people would rely on their parents phone to pass this.

As authy is completely optional, people may choose to not require another app for their account, in effort of just quickly jumping through another hoop blocking them from going live, or the device owner not wanting to have an app installed.

It just feels weird knowing that this can be a point of failure for a service that solely relies on a single 2FA method that could from an attack like this down to the individual and how they operate.

tenryuu··on Add '127.0.0.1 xn–9q8h' to /etc/hosts gives you "localghost"
"being a better consumer is the answer" no thanks
tenryuu··on Twitter begins testing Reddit-style nested conversations
Anyone got a mirror of this article? I can't click this link without ublock complaining about being passed through advertising trackers
tenryuu··on Firefox Replay
Regarding Mac OS: looks like, on Windows FF Developer Edition I can access it's UI from creating a boolean in about:config named devtools.recordreplay.enabled

A new option in settings will be added to enable a Toolbox Button named "Enable WebReplay", but pressing that button will replace the entire tab content with an about:blank

tenryuu··on Tools we used to create a hit HTML5 game on Steam
Usually in .NET you typically get IE, not Edge. People have been using CefSharp as a replacement. A number of software I have contributed to have done this.

In contrast, UWP applications do use the Edge rendering engine, and while it may or may not be possible to use CEF in these applications, you won't be able to get it certified by Microsoft, therefore no one, at least to my research, has bothered doing so.

I wonder what the future brings with Edge now just being chromium based

tenryuu··on The Hierarchy of Cringe
I built my github pages blog with hugo and it still contains no javascript.

But I also did some digging around, I don't think any of these pages actually use javascript at all. The two references at the bottom are the only two usages of script anywhere

tenryuu··on GitHub for Mobile
Well, if I can consolidate all my notifications to email, then only one application on my phone needs to have a constant/reoccurring connection to a server for push notifications. Instead of fifteen of the things all acting independently.

Benefit of using an app notification always would come down to platform specific experiences. But replying to github threads over email has been something that I don't have to think twice about

tenryuu··on GitHub for Mobile
Even worse is when the they have been pages adaptive. There are features missing from pages solely based on your viewport width.

This is completely different from the mobile site, so if you leave the mobile site and land on one of these pages, there's just not much you can do but complain

tenryuu··on A collection of bad practices in HTML
I like how this site is just bash.org but for HTML snippets
tenryuu··on We are leaving the Apple App Store and all its problems
> not user or developer friendly

Well, with text contrast like that, neither is your website to be brutally honest

tenryuu··on Alphabet’s Wing begins making commercial drone deliveries in the US
Trust TC to put a 9MB file in their articles, ublock is quick to deny it
tenryuu··on Dark mode in a website with CSS
SteamDB also recently added this too, but it also doesn't require JavaScript, as it's based in the cookie. The toggle does use JavaScript if you do have it enabled
tenryuu··on [dead]
You get redirected to 'mobile.twitter.com', which is now just the same as what normal twitter.com is, a PWA.

Simply put, the regular twitter website is "out of whack." It's surprising how different the two platforms are, coming from the same company

tenryuu··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2019)
Sent you an email around two-three weeks ago, and never heard a word
tenryuu··on Australia’s 4G network is faster than 5G: study
Getting ~20ms on HFC, with 12ms to our BNGv(first hop)

I no longer have a FTTC connection to test, but I don't think it's 3ms low.

Using AussieBB. It's around 20ms from Sydney to Melbourne on our routes

tenryuu··on Australia’s 4G network is faster than 5G: study
It's interesting, becusee I moved from FTTC getting 100/40 to HFC and still getting 100/40.

Each technology has their own hardware faults though, and I've witnessed both. But as a user of the service, I'm actually surprised how decent HFC has been working.

My parents of FTTN get about 50/20,which is what I expect a lot of users on these lines would only be able to access. But the sheer cost of using a NBN over 4G makes it a lot easier to sell, data sims are not cheap

why can't download buttons just be anchors?

tenryuu··on Google is ramping up its efforts to replace SMS with RCS
Well,telcos aren't a charity either, consider yourself paying regular service fees, enabling employees to keep their jobs, or even just using that money for the Mobile Data you use.

I have a cheap prepaid, still using SMS every day because I know I have unlimited use of it, to several countries even. Data is where they make their money

tenryuu··on Firefox 70 released for Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition
meanwhile I'm the exact opposite. I've been using the firefox dev tools too much that using chrome on someone else's machine is something I feel like I have to put up with.

That's not me saying Firefox's tools are actually better though, there's still a number of weird quirks or features that could be lacking, while also having features I can't find in chrome that I also take for granted

tenryuu··on Show HN: MeSpeak.js 2.0 – Text-to-Speech in JavaScript
Haha, the article says it might not work on mobile. It completely (and immediately) crashed Firefox Android alongside my Live Wallpaper upon pressing the Read button
tenryuu··on Tracking.js – Computer vision library for the browser
Dead project
tenryuu··on Fucking Color Picker
I bound mine to the middle click action of the taskbar.

but I also overrode the tooltip text on the screenshot cursor to display the RGB hex, as a ctrl+c will copy whatever is in this box

tenryuu··on Fucking Color Picker
We choose to code so people with lower spec machines should also be able to run the program without having to worry about it running like trash.

tenryuu··on Ripcord – A desktop chat client for Discord and Slack
Both users and bots use the same API. All that's different is that Bots have 'Bot' in their auth headers. That and some endpoints are limited to just Bot accounts.

Bot on normal account detection is based on outlier usage statistics from regular accounts, like too many requests or something.

All Ripcord requests (to discord) actually have Ripcord in their User Agent header, discord can immediately detect it's usage, they have not banned anyone for using the software specifically, only for the same reason they have been banning Selfbots (Users ending up spamming the API)

tenryuu··on Ripcord – A desktop chat client for Discord and Slack
There's only been one known case of someone being banned from Ripcord usage, due to too many requests being sent, triggering spam protection. Their account was unlocked after contacting support.

The software now doesn't sync users to a sqlite local database if there's over 10k members in a guild, as a precaution
