As an alternative, for iOS folks this might be an interesting pocket solution as well:

yayr··on Google Drive flags files for copyright infringement due to digit combinations
thanks, when I searched for "google copyright" on HN it did not yet popup, probably still outside the search index refresh window.
yayr··on Google Drive flags files for copyright infringement due to digit combinations
"...she uploaded a file named "output04.txt" that consisted of a single character, the numeral one ...

Shortly after uploading them, I received a string of emails from Google indicating that those files had been flagged for copyright infringement...

the automated email notification she received offered no way to push back against the determination of Google's content vetting algorithm – the Request a Review button was not included in the message she received ...

The e-mail explicitly said 'A review cannot be requested for this restriction,'"

How far does pattern this need to go, before someone changes direction?

yayr··on Google is wrong. Apple’s iMessage is a failure
I wonder if that strategy is an unavoidable modus operandi, if so much of your management / work force motivation is derived from increasing the stock price.

...and at least consumers in that are not the customers, but the product...

yayr··on A connectomic study of a petascale fragment of human cerebral cortex
is there a more recent comprehensive report? the link above is from 2008.
yayr··on It is difficult for the average person to conceive of how useless NFTs are
you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. The encryption of the secret has to happen of chain, so that the secret is still secure. So typically that would be done by the provider of the NFT and thus is not decentralised. Essentially, this would eliminate the need to put the secret on the chain at all. Only the proof of ownership would be on chain.
yayr··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
Electron is MIT licensed. Not LGPL.

https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/LICENSE

So everyone can use it without the need to expose his IP.

yayr··on It is difficult for the average person to conceive of how useless NFTs are
that. Plus you can add a secret to the paper that allows unlocking the content at the URL, which normal users would not have. That secret can only be decrypted by the owner of the paper.
yayr··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
if you like the pricing and licensing, functionally QT may be for you. The web frameworks mentioned on the other hand are free to use for everybody and anything.
yayr··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
let's see

- language: ES / Typescript are quite established

- CSS: also quite established

- Frameworks: there is still a lot of innovation here, but also React / Vue / Angular are quite established.

on that latter part I prefer the innovation. Let's just imagine for a while what UI would look like if we only had Swing (Java) or QT (C++)

yayr··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
that seems to use Chromium on the frontend and not the native webviews
yayr··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
Is there still an easy way to use node.js with Tauri? I'd appreciate an easy to use cross-platform tool on the backend. Or is it better to build the backend features needed (e.g. file access, config management, network etc.) fully in rust?
yayr··on Ask HN: Why is today's Internet experience so user hostile?
> Having gained their audience share, Amazon and Google have switched from a 'customer is king' perspective to one which suits their business model most.

At least for Google most of the time the end user is not the customer, the advertiser is.

This has various reasons, one of them being economics, another one being end user psychology.

Also for Amazon this is more and more becoming the case, as sellers and businesses using their services contribute much more to Amazons margin than an end user does.

The rest follows pretty much automatically from the internal incentive structures of those companies, which are dominated by share value increases.

yayr··on I made my first web0 website today. It's so cool it just works
just to be a bit picky - it technically has some CSS albeit in a style tag:

<center style="font-size: 18px">...

is it now web1?

yayr··on AWS Private 5G
How does this work from a regulatory standpoint? Most countries license frequency bands to dedicated operators under very specific conditions. These operators usually pay a lot of money for that and need to provide a certain degree of public coverage.
yayr··on Root cause is for plants, not software
"Cause is not something you find. Cause is something you construct. How you construct it and from what evidence, depends on where you look, what you look for, who you talk to, what you have seen before, and likely on who you work for."

This is not a universally true statement. It is only true when you don't have enough information. The statement confuses the physical world with our mental representation of it.

yayr··on What's the Future of IDEs?
In most use cases I don't see the benefit over a RDP access to that remote server. With RDP you as well have control over all the over things that you might want there, starting with a proper Terminal, File Manager, Process Monitor etc. Personally, I run my beefy Win/GPU/ML setup in the basement, while using it via RDP from my Mac. Awesome experience for me.

yayr··on Save the planet Program in C, avoid Python, Perl
do you mean https://ziglang.org ? as a non C developer I was not aware of that. Thanks
yayr··on Save the planet Program in C, avoid Python, Perl
and this means, any mistake in the software is also replicated to those devices. let's say e.g. buffer overflows... and then efficiency is faster gone than achieved.
yayr··on Save the planet Program in C, avoid Python, Perl
> As a former software engineer who’s mostly worked with C programming, and to a lesser extent assembler, I know in my heart that those are the two most efficient programming languages since they are so close to the hardware.

one could argue, that programming languages that are more close to the mind are more efficient. At least when looking at 2nd to n-th order efficiency effects, not just pure runtime performance.

yayr··on The perfect configuration format? Try TypeScript
Should this be a future ECMAScript enhancement or is the better route for browsers to natively support TypeScript?
yayr··on Using GPT-J and GPT-Neo, GPT-3 open-source alternatives, with few-shot learning
Thanks, the examples are amazing. It is great to have these open source alternatives available. A clear case where it is super beneficial to the whole ecosystem to share this knowledge.
yayr··on I was rejected by Codecademy three times, so I built my own
ups - Thanks - lol
yayr··on San Francisco's homelessness is a humanitarian crisis
you could say this to anything, e.g. startups. so what is here to learn?
yayr··on I was rejected by Codecademy three times, so I built my own
the app for "build your own crypto wallet" is essentially:

const App = ( <div> <h1>Hello Bitcoin!</h1> </div> );

curious about version 0.0.2 ;-)

Let [customer group] do [pain point solved].

yayr··on Ask HN: Best way to host a website for 500 years?
You could publish the site on IPFS. Then you could device a solidity contract that awards ETH to someone hosting / pinning it. There are multiple ways to organise the latter. The easiest could be to provide your heirs the means to change the hosting provider reward address of that contract, in case he discontinues to deliver.
yayr··on Apple proposes adding "model" element to HTML that displays 3D content
We will need a full 3d rendering space for future applications anyway. It will require, that 2D content can be embedded in a 3D space and vice versa. Also a standardized 3D dom (with whatever usefully condensation of properties) will be required sooner or later, unless we want only some very big players to provide proprietary 3D environments.

I think, a "model" tag is a good and forward compatible path

yayr··on FSNotes: Notes manager for macOS and iOS – native, open source
Nice Tool. But why is it not possible to edit markdown files in arbitrary folders? why do I have to have a separate folder for notes and another one for all other documents?
