sonnhy | 2 years ago | on: Yuzu emulator developers settle Nintendo lawsuit, pay $2.4M in damages

I think the difference between copying 1:1 game and re-creating the game is what can be the discriminator. If you get a game, raw data, and copy bit per bit you're pirating, while if someone re-creates a whole game fro scratch it's a different story.

I would argue that re-creating from scratch is more legal than a straight copy of the original data.

sonnhy | 2 years ago | on: My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file (2020)

I've used Todoist during my university period for writing my thesis. I've setup a project and laid down every section of the thesis as a task, then, night after night, I wrote some section and marked off the task. I didn't do anything particular that I remember of, but I had a great time, the interface was polished and it felt rewarding.

I abandoned ever since I got my degree and started exploring other apps when I got a job.

> Separating the style into a stylesheet gives you global control over presentation and makes you more aligned with how the user is perceiving things.

Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean that the separation through external stylesheets creates a more cohesive UI for the user?

The HTML has its say on layout part, so the presentation is not exclusively on the CSS. Also, the core part of defining the whole UI is usually delegated to some global CSS rules, usually known as the theme in CSS-in-JS libraries. I don't think having external stylesheet helps that much.

For how cool it sounds, it seems more like you have managed to overcome the struggle than learning to ride a bike, as in you jumped on the bike for the first time in your life, in your dream, and the day after you could ride a bike in real life.

If I'm not mistaken Volunia search engine had this very features, it lets you join community and start discussing with other users on the same URL you're at the moment.

It looks like a virus that may try to replicate later on. If it passed unnoticed it could have gathered so much npm tokens to actually attack a much larger portion of developers. But nonetheless, starting with eslint should already provide quite a lot of credentials.

sonnhy | 8 years ago | on: Ubuntu 18.04: Unity is gone, Gnome is back, and Ubuntu has never been better

The real upgrade for me was in fact using dnf instead of apt. It seems and work so perfectly I don't even use any synaptic-like package manager. Also yes, can confirm that GNOME is very well integrated in Fedora. That vanilla feel is so strange coming from Ubuntu, which heavily relies on modification on every package they have.

Insightful for sure. I should start using this exact same method, but my problem is to fragment activities in smaller ones, which I find hard and sometimes even too much time consuming.

sonnhy | 8 years ago | on: China's Xinjiang surveillance is the dystopian future nobody wants

They talk about China yet still a few realize that we are as well going into that direction. CCTV are everywhere, Facebook and Google have our identities, what we like, what we look for, what will be our probable next move (also in terms of real world position) and our routines. If ever a Chinese that feel safe in his home comes to the outer world (to us) he would say "how could this nation is so undeveloped to not already have a better security likes us" and we would be amazed and reply how he does not, instead, feel so stalked in his state. But still, if we were to go on a third world nation we would ask the same and the local people would reply at us the same way as we did to the chinese.

As a beginner it was my editor of choice, as most of us it seems. But the GUI made me want a better editor, with the same capabilities of a GUI editor.

So, when i heard of micro i switched immediately, I just find the default copy/cut/paste and the mouse functionalities very comfortable.

sonnhy | 8 years ago | on: Big brother is here, and his name is Facebook

I've read nothing new from this article, but I've never heard of that app RYL and the concept that you can occupy the mic with one app at the time.

Apart from the fact that that app will be listening all your day and that will make your phone containing sensible information anyway, I could be leaked as easily as that information is also stored as compressed as possible, for easy and non noticeable way in your internet footprint. Yet you can trust an app who's not open source, if your read their manifesto.

I wonder if this article was all about RYL anyway.

sonnhy | 9 years ago | on: The Boring Company [video]

This seems like a premium service, because you have to choose your destination somehow, and here comes some device that you have to install in your car (I'm referring to some kind electronic toll collection + navigation system). Also, the amount of people using this service has to be limited somehow. As the technology is presented in video, the input/output of the carriages is quite limited. Also, what about the rush hours? Everyone wants to get in, to go faster, so queue will be created, waiting for their turn. What will happen when more people, than the exit queue can handle, want to get out on the same exit/area? You will be redirected to another exit, far away as much as how many people wanted to get out in that area.

sonnhy | 9 years ago | on: Making Ubuntu run faster by killing Evolution

It's not not the first time I've read about this kind of solutions and processes that get hungry of resources over time, even idle. But this solution gets rid of the symptom not the causes. I'm always curious about this cases and why these happen, I'm not using Ubuntu ATM but I'd look forward for any insights on this.

sonnhy | 9 years ago | on: Italy’s teetering banks will be Europe’s next crisis

Thank you for the quick anwser. I understood your answer to my first point, but, if you know, can you clarify the answer to my second question? If the bank fails, and my account in the bank, where I manage my investments, gets deleted.. where all my investments goes to? How can I manage them?

sonnhy | 9 years ago | on: Italy’s teetering banks will be Europe’s next crisis

Excuse my really basic understanding of Economics, but how "investing everything" does keep you away from losing money to the bank in which your funds are? Aren't, the money you invest, already in a bank, and associated to your fund? If the bank fails how can you manage your investments (as I suppose you will lose your bank account if the bank fails)
