New comment by Nekorosu in "Tell HN: Fiverr left customer files public and searchable"

Nekorosu — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 08:51:21 +0000

I was scammed on Fiverr myself, so I may be biased, but this feels consistent with the platform incentives I saw firsthand. The dispute process did not seem designed to deal well with coordinated abuse, and weak controls around sensitive files would point to the same broader issue: user safety and data handling do not appear to be high priorities.

Is your argument "it's bad everywhere, so it's ok"? As a software developer I do understand how enterprises operate, as a customer and a user I'd put Apple under higher scrutiny and would expect better.

Is it for citizens or billionaire citizens?

Design is much more than that.

Also, it’s almost as if you can’t imagine that other users might have needs and preferences different from yours.

My first language is Russian. I’m not young, so I remember a bit of the Soviet era and many of the paper books I read as a child. I perceive lozh and vranyo as nearly synonymous, depending on the context. The only difference I notice is that vranyo can occur without ill intent, while lozh is told deliberately to deceive.

I found the source of this new alternative interpretation https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-vranyo-russian-for-w...

I call it BS.

That's absurd.

I won't trust a word coming from Sam Altman's mouth until I see official signed documents (which I won't).

New comment by Nekorosu in "Tell HN: MitID, Denmark's digital ID, was down"

Nekorosu — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 11:41:45 +0000

Interesting. Swedish BankID, that I'd guess serves the same purpose, works just fine on GrapheneOS, as well as nation wide payment system Swish.

New comment by Nekorosu in "Amazon accused of widespread scheme to inflate prices across the economy"

Nekorosu — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:31:01 +0000

How did you manage to turn "increase their lowest price to appear on Amazon" into "incentivise sellers to have their lowest prices on Amazon"?

There is a great research paper on the topic https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10792139/#:~:text=T...

I clicked the link but missed the show. I'd like to revisit the project when there is something to look at and listen to.

There is no limit to the ignorance of stock-market investors.

New comment by Nekorosu in "Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux"

Nekorosu — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 18:20:16 +0000

Regarding high-quality commercial Linux software: SideFX Houdini offers a relatively affordable Indie license and is fantastic for most kinds of 3D work, compositing, and post-processing tasks. It’s also fully procedural and scriptable, which really makes my brain buzz.

New comment by Nekorosu in "Director Gore Verbinski: Unreal Engine is the greatest slip backwards for movie"

Nekorosu — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:42:00 +0000

Who are you talking to? If this is meant for Gore Verbinski, he won’t read it, and even if he did, he wouldn’t understand it.

The requirement to recompile the engine makes this feature non existent for a film crew.

New comment by Nekorosu in "Apple testing new App Store design that blurs the line between ads and results"

Nekorosu — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:34:09 +0000

Enshittification of Apple continues. I was quite dedicated to Apple for years but I'm glad I just bought Google Pixel (degoogled with GrapheneOS).

New comment by Nekorosu in "How to Build Reactive Declarative UI in Vanilla JavaScript"

Nekorosu — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 16:11:50 +0000

I don’t think the article does justice to the declarative programming approach. The title feels more like clickbait for programmers.

New comment by Nekorosu in "How to Build Reactive Declarative UI in Vanilla JavaScript"

Nekorosu — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 16:09:53 +0000

Can someone shed some light on what is declarative in this example? I’m a bit puzzled.

New comment by Nekorosu in "Don't fall into the anti-AI hype"

Nekorosu — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 08:49:20 +0000

The article talks about something I’ve never seen before: anti-AI hype in software development. It feels like a programmer writing from inside a bubble.

My personal experience with it is different. The title doesn't make much sense to me.

New comment by Nekorosu in "Nonverbal Communication"

Nekorosu — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 01:29:02 +0000

Nonverbal communication is the transmission of messages or signals through a nonverbal platform such as eye contact (oculesics), body language (kinesics), social distance (proxemics), touch (haptics), voice (prosody and paralanguage), physical environments/appearance, and use of objects.
