wazzaps··on mod_wasm: Run WebAssembly with Apache
WASM is the wrong level of the software stack to check for outdated versions, that's the host language's package manager's job.
wazzaps··on Rust – A hard decision pays off
If your main concern is security bugs, then according to Microsoft[0] about 70% of their bugs were memory-safety related.

You might like my tool: https://sourcedigger.io/glibc?q=*sscanf*

If it fails make sure to let me know (I have no analytics)

wazzaps··on Ask HN: Have you ever switched cloud?
DigitalOcean -> Hetzner Cloud. Simply realized it's much cheaper for my use case (single instance running everything), even doubled my ram from 2GB to 4GB and it was still cheaper. It's also a European company which helps (more trustworthy IMO). Also took the time to simplify my deployment, which was nice.
wazzaps··on Ask HN: Why are you programming your hobby projects in a niche language?

wazzaps··on Ask HN: Why is building Windows apps so complicated?
The performance of flutter on the web is unusable, I would be ashamed to ship an app using it.

What other framework doesn't maintain 60 fps in its hello world?!

Flutter works great on mobile and desktop though, I shipped multiple apps using it and currently writing a desktop app.

wazzaps··on macOS has become more reliable
Maybe checksum before updating? Or revert the patch if it fails?
wazzaps··on VSCode deprecates Enable Telemetry, auto-enrolls you in Telemetry?
Could you provide a source for that? Couldn't find anything on Google about that

fsearch replaces "Everything" for me
wazzaps··on Reverse-Engineering Apple Dictionary (2020)
The knowledge part is powered by Wolfram Alpha, which has an API, I believe

By "removed" they mean "stolen" or "copied"
wazzaps··on Command Palette Interfaces
Should also mention Albert for Linux (a project similar to Alfred for MacOS)

wazzaps··on GitHub reinstated youtube-dl but restoring forks is apparently a problem
Unless the bug is reported after it's introduced...
wazzaps··on Show HN: QEMU front end for M1 and Intel Macs
https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM works pretty well for me (not for daily use though as it uses software rendering, but fine for compiling/testing apps)
wazzaps··on Raspberry Pi phoning home to Microsoft
Any APT repo can push any package, e.g. this repo can give you a backdoored bash package
wazzaps··on How Microsoft went from “Linux is a cancer” to “Microsoft loves Linux”

wazzaps··on Show HN: Print a WiFi Login Card
My Pocophone F1 has a button to generate a QR code from a network in the settings app, I guess they added a special permission for it.
wazzaps··on Termux and Android 10
Pop!_OS has a recovery partition with a "reset installation", which keeps the home directory (I believe) but reinstalls everything else
wazzaps··on Linux Desktop Environment Face-Off: Which GUI Is Best
Good defaults
wazzaps··on Windows 10 Bleeds Users While Ubuntu Linux Enjoys an Astonishing Increase
Inkscape: For professional print I can't answer (never had to use CMYK), but Inkscape works well enough for 99% of people who need it IMO (web developers, logo designers, CNC/Milling)

Gimp: Agree, most features are there but finding them is a chore

File sharing: Illustrator uses .ai files which are .pdf (compatible with inkscape), can't speak about .psd compatibility with Gimp, never tried it

Audiovisual: DaVinci Resolve is awesome, and adequate for most if not all home users

Development: I'm assuming you mean embedded development, this relies on support from the vendor, community can't do much about this. Most development are not embedded developers, and in my experience boards by SiLabs worked pretty much out of the box. Obviously anything web (except ASP I guess, I may be wrong) is a breeze on Linux

Regardless, the normal user needs none of this. They need a web browser and an office suite. The Linux ecosystem needs a more intuitive office suite, but libreoffice is good enough and Google Docs/Office365 online work for many people too
