Ask HN: What's Your Hostname?
Today I got annoyed by the bland hostname in my prompt, 'Choomas MacBookPro-M2', I decided to rename it to something cute: cowfish :)What is your hostname when you open a terminal?
chooma

I am building a luxury villa park from scratch in Kuta Lombok Indonesia:)
I wanted to try my hand at something else than software.

From the samsung S10 forward, this is a feature while recording video in zoom mode. I was always really curious how they did it.

I am really struggling to get hotwire running to be honest. I now just postponed implementing it till after the launch. Any good ways of getting up to speed on hotwire and debugging it?

I wouldn't word it that strongly, however I would've like to see the first line of the documention on the homepage :)
I'll give it a spin later, looks interesting.
Re:Ask HN: What web development stack do you prefer in 2024?
on Tuesday January 23, 2024 @10:15PM (#39113185)
After test drive countless of frameworks...I've settled for a very boring stack
Ruby on rails is the only framework I use for SaaS applications.
Plain ES6 for a lot of things that are not as big as a SaaS. React when I need frontend stuff.
Python lives mostly in notebooks for all my thinkering.
Re:Elon Musk says advertising boycott will kill X

Staying curious is so important for a realistic worldview.
While it was obvious to everybody Elon, would kill twitter with his actions. Elon's world view is that the advertisers will kill the company.
I've seen this behaviour over and over with leaders. They tend to turn the facts upside down and present it asif it's true without any doubt.

fyi. Paris syndrome is heavily disputed among scientist, because the causality was never proven and the original author has 'vanished' from the scene.
i.e. do mental people visit Paris or does Paris cause mental illness?

We're an international telco, with two separate local entities & local teams, that are governed by different laws. The voys.nl website most certainly has the cookie consent screen.

Yeah I agree, the user experience/convinience via the App Store vs Sideloading is like 10x better.

Who is running a success Mobile App without using Google/Apple app store and how are you doing?I would like to know how we can deliver our apps in the future, without a detached gatekeeper who believes that having a canned-bot reply to your email consitudes as 'Good service'.Backstory: We run a SaaS business telco which focusses on privacy.

That's what got me as well. They just inject themselves in the middle of my request and expect everything to be fine.
Being this naive as ISP is just astounding. I've seen similar weirdness from socialwifi hotspots here.

I cannot even do a "proceed anyway" in FF. Chrome just says "site cannot be reached".
I am just going to enable NordVPN always and accept the performance hit
Tell HN: Indonesian Telekomsel provider breaks HTTPS
I almost always use my own hotspot on my phone. I've noticed that since I arrived in Indonesia, I've been getting ssl warnings which say: "Warning: potential security risk ahead"Hacker news and half of the internet has become unuasble without a VPN.https://imgur.com/a/KZMxSMRCan somebody explain to me why this is happening?

Bluetooth on OSX was an excellent experience, but fell off the cliffs right after the 11.0 release. After so many releases, it still hasn't been fixed.

I spend too much of my life behind a computer screen, which I only notice when I take a long break. Working remote doesn't help either.
