zoover2020··on Hotel booking sites overcharge Bay Area customers
Welcome to Europe, Airbnb is dying since Covid. Booking is the clear winner. The only gripe I have with them ks their usage of dark patterns, not fully kosher
zoover2020··on Trying to Recreate iOS on the Web
I still see the fake, 2010 era mobile banners bases on my device' user agent
zoover2020··on BYOJS (Bring your own JS)
I really don't understand why people are still using an inferior tool chain to build JavaScript in 2024. The type checking alone has the potential to save countless of bugs.

I wish we could get rid of "vanilla js must imply going back in time 10 years" ideology because it's so unnecessary. Using typescript doesn't mean you have to go react or other libraries.

zoover2020··on Sora is here
Yet, in a movie setting it's clear something is a special effect or alike which is not the case for GenAI. Massive underestimation of the potential impact in this thread, scary.

DCMA'd before we know!
zoover2020··on Ford to cut 14% of European jobs, blaming EV shift and rising competition
Turkey?
zoover2020··on Netflix's Distributed Counter Abstraction
This. There's no technical limitations behind offering an A-Z catalog experience, it's all decided by that VP of user experience who wants to squeeze the most amount of screen / device time out of each user

Am I really alone to notice that each year, our collective UX across consumer (SaaS) software gets worse?

zoover2020··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
AWS Amplify and OpenSearch*, misleading title.
zoover2020··on Ask HN: Life-changing purchases since 2020? (Under $100 and under $1000)
Did you try a proper brewing technique? Nespresso tastes bad in comparison afterwards. Under a 1000$ you can get decent espresso makers, too.
zoover2020··on BYD quarterly sales beat Tesla for first time
TBH the 360° camera is not really missed if you know how to drive
zoover2020··on Show HN: Mdx – Execute your Markdown code blocks, now in Go
Came here to say this, confusion ensued.
zoover2020··on Unit tests as documentation
Have you considered a linter rule for test names? Both Checkstyle and ESLint did great work for our team
zoover2020··on Void captures over a million Android TV boxes
It's easy to complain since they're the only manufacturer who opens up your car as an API
zoover2020··on How economical is your local Taco Bell?
Out of curiosity, what were you doing in Amersfoort? I've not seen it mentioned much (my grand parents are from there)
zoover2020··on We spent $20 to achieve RCE and accidentally became the admins of .mobi
This is why PHP is mostly banned at bigCo
zoover2020··on How to build good relationships inside and outside your engineering team
Paywall, anyone?
zoover2020··on Is my vision that bad? No, it's just a bug in Apple's Calculator
Sounds like Alfred could solve this problem quite easily? I wouldn't give spotlight too much hope from Apple's end. Have seen some very nice Alfred workflows
zoover2020··on Anthropic Claude 3.5 can create icalendar files, so I did this
I've felt this for a long time, been using Claude for over a year now internally - super impressed w/ it from the start and the 3.5 model is blazingly fast. Which version of C-GPT did you compare it to?
zoover2020··on Hackers Exploited a PC Driving SIM to Pull Off Disney Data Breach
Amazon is no different, needs a $bigCorp in your story there
zoover2020··on Engineering principles for building financial systems
Brr almost got the shivers until I read your comment
zoover2020··on Reverse Engineering the Verification QR Code on My Diploma
Agree on the crypto stuff, it's easy to get things wrong or share wrong information. Perhaps you can peer review in the future to avoid.

Nonetheless, please keep writing! It was an entertaining read for me.

Salutations du Luxembourg :-)

zoover2020··on Delving into ChatGPT usage in academic writing through excess vocabulary
Is the Oxford comma also on purpose?
zoover2020··on AWS Lambda Web Adapter
A lot of internal web apps with low TPS can be easily ported to Lambda using these adapters. They should be the main use case IMO.
zoover2020··on AWS CEO to Step Down
They were later to the game but with Claude (anthropic) it does seem they were able to catch IP. I use Claude every day and prefer it over OpenAI's model
zoover2020··on AWS CEO to Step Down
Is this bait? AI coming in 2 years? What are you talking about
zoover2020··on Netherlands is the second-largest exporter of agricultural products
Not disagreeing here, but how I understand it, the year-round availability of fresh produce is a quality trade-off.
zoover2020··on AWS Makes Cloud Formation Stack Creation Up to 40% Faster
Yes. No L2/L3 constructs is a hard no from an IaC buy-in perspective
zoover2020··on Financial systems take a holiday
I'm not talking about public holidays, but turns out it's 2.5 days for each worked month - so 30 per year excluding the public ones
zoover2020··on Financial systems take a holiday
Doesn't France come with 25+10 holidays, though?
zoover2020··on Over 100k Infected Repos Found on GitHub
