I'm a full-stack developer (backend leaning) you can throw just about anywhere in the stack. I've spent most of my 10+ years career at an advertising agency and am now looking to land on a longer-term product.

Re:Fairbuds: In-ear with replaceable batteries on Tuesday April 09, 2024 @06:47PM (#39985160)
I can't believe there's another linkbuds fan in the world. No other earbud feels so transparent and light to me.

I actually bought a few pairs of these because I'm afraid they will discontinue them. Their newer model does not have the hole.

Re:Gpt4free repo given takedown notice by OpenAI on Friday April 28, 2023 @01:15PM (#35744233)
My point is people have gone to prison over GET parameters, not the legality of the it. DOJ has CFAA. Abusing private APIs is flying close to the sun. Even if you do get out of prison eventually
Re:Show HN: Thoughts on Flash in 2023, in Flash, in 2023 on Friday April 21, 2023 @03:23PM (#35658730)
Yeah I mean more from a mindshare / value to your personal portfolio pov. But still, what we have today is just an approximation of Flash in 2000s
Re:Show HN: Thoughts on Flash in 2023, in Flash, in 2023 on Friday April 21, 2023 @07:41AM (#35652316)
There is nothing like Flash IMO. Closest we have in the modern day is Unity and Godot
Re:Ask HN: Is PayPal an open scam at this point? on Tuesday January 24, 2023 @03:02PM (#34509413)
I just closed mine recently, for a lot of reasons piling up over the years (like Ally not being recognized as a real bank... rich coming from PayPal)

But most recently the unrelenting flood of money requests, with no ability to disable the feature, is finally what got me to move on

Re:Show HN: I made a pretty relaxing puzzle game on Wednesday November 23, 2022 @07:41AM (#33718452)
I think you should lean into this problem and just call the game "clockwise"

Consistent across platforms, consistent "ideal" count, clever-ish game name

You're correct, though until about 2019 or so, Twitch Prime included no-ad viewing
Re:Sshfs Is Orphaned on Monday June 20, 2022 @01:16PM (#31812885)
I used to use SSHFS to have access to remote files in the OS file browser. But I moved onto WebDAV (via lighttpd) because I like managing the auth outside of PAM and also OS file browsers (including Win/Mac) have good support for it
Re:OBS Plugin: Background Removal on Saturday February 26, 2022 @10:11AM (#30478131)
I just do it in OBS and expose the result as a virtual camera. Zoom/Slack/Meet just use the virtual camera with no additional config
Re:Rancher Desktop, a Docker Desktop Replacement on Tuesday October 12, 2021 @10:00AM (#28839741)
For the VSCode situation, there is a Remote extension by Microsoft for editing files that live on the WSL2 side.

For everything else you can just use the network mount to WSL2. So the performance hit will be on the editor I/O side but not the application runtime.

Re:Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods on Thursday September 02, 2021 @10:08AM (#28392204)
Yes, the install instructions says WSL2 is fine: https://podman.io/getting-started/installation
Re:Zig cc: A drop-in replacement for GCC/Clang (2020) on Sunday July 18, 2021 @11:23AM (#27873680)
I see. I'll let the real experts add some insight but I don't think language complexity has much to do with it, considering Rust compiles to an IR first anyway. And I would say Rust has a good cross-compilation story as it is. In 2016 (!) I managed to get Rust to compile my SDL2 game to a mipsel device that used a custom GCC toolchain (http://www.gcw-zero.com/develop)
Re:Zig cc: A drop-in replacement for GCC/Clang (2020) on Sunday July 18, 2021 @11:14AM (#27873599)
`zig cc` cross-compiles C, not Zig.

Re:DigitalOcean App Platform on Tuesday October 06, 2020 @06:22PM (#24703056)
Not only that, but outright lying about the breaches. When I used them in early 2010s, they managed to expose two different virtual CC numbers (which I _only_ used for Linode) to fraudulent charges. But both times they insisted I was not part of the breach they were suffering at the time ...
Security in layers. You should keep your dev environment private but also not paste credentials into a networked textbox.

Just for fun, I thought of a way to do this if booleans didn't coerce:

I'm sorry to be pedantic but you've used "loose" incorrectly 3 times in a row. It's "loses" and "loser"

There are plenty of reasons even beyond privacy and MITM content changes. Supposedly HTTPS is better for SEO and also there are browser APIs[1] that only work in HTTPS context
