torarnv··on Syncthing: Syncing All the Things
This. I'd like to sync my ~/development directory, including all the git directories, so I don't need to push and pull branches between machines. Is this at all feasible?
torarnv··on Elements of Dance Etiquette (2005)
> For Latin, Tango and Swing which are all mentioned: Simply not true. Your hips are so far apart that it doesn't matter.

Offset stance, and closed position, is used in many swing dances, for example Lindy Hop and Balboa, so your statement is simply not true ;)

That's not my experience. I've reported this to him on two occasions, with screenshots and detailed descriptions of how the UX had regressed.

First one took a year before I got a reply (after reminding him), and only partly answered the request.

The second one I'm still waiting for a reply.

I would love for Dash 5 to fix these issues still, and I would upgrade in a heartbeat, but as it stands, I'm stuck with Dash 4.

The issues are:

1. Dash 4's sidebar shows significantly more hits when searching, making it a lot easier to find what you were looking for, compared to the "omnibar" of Dash 5:

2. Dash 4 shows/loads the currently selected search immediately, requiring no extra step. Dash 5 requires the user to press enter to confirm the search. This is especially frustrating when triggering a search from an editor

edit: where did he indicate he was looking for feedback on these features?

I like Dash, I bought it. But unfortunately the version upgrade from 4 to 5 introduced some mandatory UI changes that made documentation lookup much more cumbersome. Looking up a function now takes several user interaction steps, instead of just one in Dash 4. I'm still on version 4. If anyone have alternatives, I'm all ears.
torarnv··on Spotify, Ever the Fans of Openness
Thank you!!
torarnv··on Hard to discover tips and apps for macOS
Thank you!
torarnv··on Big Sur is both 10.16 and 11.0
The more plausible scenario would be 11.1 and 10.17

The trick of checking version >= 10.16 to cover both 10.16 and 11.0 would not work then, as version >= 10.17 would cover 11.0 (10.16) too.

Then what..?

torarnv··on Qt 5.15 LTS
That's incorrect. The 5.15 branch is and will be public. Most if not all changes to that branch will go via the dev (Qt 6) branch, which is also public.
torarnv··on Show HN: Proton Native V2 – Create Cross Platform Desktop Apps with React
You're right that we no longer use HITheme to render the macOS style for Qt Widgets, we use AppKit. But it's used to render into pixmaps, so we're not actually wrapping native NSViews.
torarnv··on Apple’s Activation Lock Will Make It Difficult to Refurbish Macs
«In other words, they won’t be able to do much with it besides scrap it for parts.»

Or, you know, talk to the friend that sold them the phone.

Hyperbole doesn’t sell their point at all.

torarnv··on Color Emulation
Thank you for writing this!

I recently started playing around with RetroArch, and found it quite hard to make sense of all the shaders it comes with. :) Looking forward to the coming articles to get a better understanding of the parts that make up the pipeline from raw RGB pixels to something that looks like what I remember playing on my TV as a kid.

One question to the article: Do emulators generally have the color correction/gamma adjustments built in? If so is there typically a flag to turn it off, so it can be done in shaders instead?

torarnv··on Photon Micro GUI
Behold, in all its skeuomorphic glory, the Qt styles example:

torarnv··on Animating URLs with JavaScript and Emojis
For some reason it also broke Safari on iOS to the point where I couldn’t open HN via a bookmark either. Had to close the tab completely.
torarnv··on Sloth – Mac app that shows all open files and sockets in use
Is there any way (in general) to see what processes a pipe is connected to (on both ends)?
torarnv··on Ask HN: Webhooks provider for managing subscriptions and emitting callbacks?
Basically I'm looking for http://www.webhooks.io/, but not as SaaS :)
torarnv··on Spectrum is joining GitHub
Only with the IRC bridge, which is the primary use-case for me since so much of my existing community chats are on IRC still. IRCCloud also bridges to Slack, so I get both in the same (synced across devices) interface.
torarnv··on Spectrum is joining GitHub
I used riot.im as my primary IRC client (via its IRC bridge) from home, work, and on mobile, for a year or so. Unfortunately there were lots of issues and bugs, to the point where I couldn't trust that when I wrote someone a message they would get it, or vice versa, so I had to give up on it. I'm now a happy IRCCloud user.
torarnv··on World Draw
Seems like a bad version check. I'm running latest Beta (Version 71.0.3578.53 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)) on macOS and seeing the same thing.
torarnv··on Thanks for the Surprise Integration with My Website, Apple
Did he put up a public API? From the post it looks like the shortcut is constructing a search result url, and then scraping the photo out of that page.
torarnv··on CLI: Improved
Thanks!
torarnv··on CLI: Improved
How did you get the folder/file icons in there?
torarnv··on Ask HN: Is there a service that allows attaching metadata to a web resource?
Interesting! Thanks! :)
torarnv··on Ask HN: Is there a service that allows attaching metadata to a web resource?
Cool, thanks for the link! I don't mind the tags being public, but it seems Hypothes.is now also supports private/group annotations.

Unfortunately you can only annotate text (so far), but they might add deeper integration in the future to e.g. tag a section of a video.

In the meantime I started writing a Chrome extension based on Firebase. Having never used Firebase before I'm very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to get something up and running!

torarnv··on Ask HN: Is there a service that allows attaching metadata to a web resource?
I guess https://firebase.google.com/ or something similar is what I'm looking for :)
torarnv··on Ask HN: Is there a service that allows attaching metadata to a web resource?
Note that the data should be sharable with other users, hence not using the built in Chrome extension storage.
torarnv··on Ask HN: Best way to learn modern C++?
I suspect your intel on Qt's C++ use is a bit out of date. Qt nowadays uses (and requires) C++11, as well as more modern constructs.
torarnv··on Google's CardDAV server isn't standards compliant (2014)
Tangent: What are people's experience with Google's CalDAV support? Is it just as bad?
