I completely understand how what I wrote could come across this way now I reread it. I guess today is one of those days I'm not able to articulate what I'm thinking (happens a lot sadly).
While the black bar is not a "banned topic" or anything, bringing it up tends to produce heated disagreements, and at the worst possible time too (since the conversation ends up in the thread of someone who's no longer with us).
Devolving into meta flamewars is quite disrespectful, and creates extra work for the moderators as as well.
Here's the last time the black bar was discussed in a thread it was used. You'll need showdead turned on to see all the offtopic discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14118290
Question. There are several mentions of $gigantic_resolution either providing the same or less display area than $smaller_resolution.
Are there any hacks that can convince macOS (or the older versions of OS X described in this article) not to treat the display as HiDPI? Yeah, I realize the machine will abruptly feel like it needs a magnifying glass to use, but in a pinch (laptop on lap <2ft from eyes) it might work for some (insert standard disclaimers here about eyes being non-replaceable and needing to last the distance).
Also.
The late-2015 21″ iMac is ~$1.5k+, and "has a multi-core Geekbench score of 5623."
Then the late-2011 17″ MacBook Pro which is ~$1.3k checks in with a "9240 Geekbench score".
With this being said, it may actually be easier to figure out wasm than frameworkified JS since you can apply IDA-style reversing to it.
Open question: what existing tools and research are good at inferring the high-level behavior of stack machines? Eg, research papers, or (preferably open source) tools for reversing eg Java code. I want links I can throw at Ph.Ds.
In a nice bit of timing, HN Replies (my HN notifier) grabbed the comment before it was deleted! It was interesting, so I'm anonymously adding it below:

> I have seen first hand a large VoIP carrier reach out to an ITSP because one of their end subscribers was scanning the 710 number space either manually or not. And it was within a few minutes after the scan started. This type of activity (and others too) will set off all kinds of alarms at phone providers.
I came here to say exactly this, and before doing so thought to ^F first. Heh.
The other two comments I see in this subthread are practical and pragmatic, but I also agree with your view as well. I would far prefer to pay the fees and have all transactions processed via the blockchain.
Although at the end of the day, pragmatism makes money...
So, I'm trying to do what you do, entirely using browser tabs. It concretely doesn't work.
After 200-400 suspended tabs open and a browser chewing molasses, I tend to export all URLs to a list for One Day In The Magical Future™, kill my session and restart.
So yeah, I'm very interested to find out what rule system you use - is this bespoke, or using standard email client features?
Also, what email client do you use? I've been trying to find a medium between "old computer becomes unusable after >10 tabs are open" and "fast, native information-presentation applications (like terminals) are text-only and don't support images" for 15+ years.
I use Gmail's basic HTML mode 99% of the time. It... I can't say I like it. I want something that doesn't use Qt and GTK+, because I perceive more lag with applications that use these toolkits than I did with lightweight WinAPI apps I ran on Win98/Win2K machines with half the hardware capability.
FWIW, I do note the usernames comments come from sometimes, particularly if they're insightful.
Regarding the numbers here, I'd say there are multiple thousands, possibly 5 figures. The top article about Apple refusing to publicly backdoor the iPhone (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11116274) got 5667 points. And sometimes my comments will attract a reply chain but not get upvoted, which shows that some proportion of people doesn't upvote here.
Objectively, yes, but in practice, doctors sometimes work 12 to 30 hour shifts, all while the medical establishment actively tries to educate that tired driving is worse than drink driving...
Releasing this even without abstracted integration sounds reasonable to me - this is a system you built primarily for internal use, and you're engineering strictly atop AWS.
If the community wants support for other providers, someone else can come along and re-integrate with another provider, and maybe see if/where it's possible to collaborate with you guys on small changes that allow for easy maintenance for everyone.
> The patent also details a new text-messaging platform that would detect how hard you type, and use that information to attempt to work out how you feel.
Unrelated, but are there any phone keyboards that interpret a hard press as uppercase and a soft press as lowercase?
I just grabbed the horizontal scrollbar (ThinkPad X61, no trackpad) to see what it was hiding, and slowly scrolled that part of the page over.
It felt like I'd just hand cranked a CSS animation. Kinda steampunk.
Note that I'm not dissing the author here. They appreciate the feedback they've gotten, which means they're receptive, and that's honestly a very large percentage of "this'll work out okay," which in this case means that this project will iterate until it nails something new, or the author will go join one of the other hashing efforts out there.
