qemu, but it will be slow because the kernel/processor can't do the heavy lifting.

That is mostly solved with ChanServ and NickServ services. Channels can't be taken over with DDoSes because ChanServ protects them and attackers can't get your real IP because NickServ provides host masking.

So they can be the center of it and control it, of course.

New comment by foodstances in "Show HN: MyNotifier – Simple Notifications"

foodstances — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 12:52:21 +0000

Meaning your app has its own background service that has to be running with a constant connection to receive notifications from your own servers? How are you doing that on iOS?

New comment by foodstances in "Tell HN: Amazon shopping is racing to the bottom of quality"

foodstances — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:11:09 +0000

Perhaps a product idea is to make a front-end to Amazon that is able to better filter the results, to bring forward slightly higher priced items that are higher quality, and do a better job of filtering out spam than Amazon (something that filters out those six-letter all-capital-letter Chinese company names).

Income would be generated by making all of the links to the actual products Amazon affiliate links, but just make the frontend look exactly like Amazon's search with better results.

New comment by foodstances in "Show HN: Whatcha – social network for digital media"

foodstances — Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:34:40 +0000

Installed it from the App Store, went through the signup process, saw that it requires a phone number, tried to register without one, couldn't, and then uninstalled it, all in about 30 seconds.

I cannot even guess why a social network about movies and TV shows requires my phone number, but you surely aren't getting it.

It feels like they have no actual direction but they think if they just hire enough smart people (and prevent those smart people from working at competitors) they'll figure something out along the way. It's why they have a near constant stream of product/service failures (https://killedbygoogle.com/).

New comment by foodstances in "Challenge: Pixel perfect design"

foodstances — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 20:54:59 +0000

On some MacBooks, the default screen resolution is not a perfect 2x, but something like 1.75x. This means macOS is drawing its framebuffer in 2x, then scaling it down to 1.75x to fit the actual screen resolution which blurs things.

The new MacBook Pro for example uses perfect 2x scaling, but the MacBook Air has a smaller resolution screen and is not 2x.

Reading that, it's hard not to see the parallels to Darren Aronofsky's movie Pi. Building a supercomputer in an apartment to find patterns in Pi that have some higher meaning, the computer constantly breaking, etc.
