Thanks for the response. So to be clear, for very specific purposes I'm thinking of, I don't know that it's even better for users to use Cryptpad (without document passwords) than …

I think the work you've done with cryptpad, while impressive on many levels and, I'm assuming, motivated by a desire to make secure document collaboration more accessible, is actua…

I've worked with a few orgs which have used cryptpad, and I'm sorry, but Cryptpad doesn't make it possible to share documents securely unless again, everyone in the org is able to …

Regarding the URLs containing the decryption key, of course a strong password is a big benefit here, but if you're not syncing history that could perhaps eliminate big tech from th…

I think there are some issues with cryptpad, most significantly that documents which are shared via their share link (default way of sharing) will effectively be shared with Google…

I don't think it will work hosted with local video files. It works locally reading the video file from the file:// url (though strangely needs http for the subtitle track)

I already commented on this, but I didn't like the "solution" of re-encoding the video with the subtitles baked in, so check out https://gist.github.com/HartS/9bb2721fa73b6798efcdb…

For people who like to watch with subtitles, VLC currently doesn't support streaming to chromecast with SRT subtitles.. there are several issues for it and I believe support is sla…

I think it'd be better to create an open-source platform to power one "subreddit" that can be hosted and deployed by the mods. Then the content can be exported from reddit into eac…

Indeed, the book itself is not going to be a current source on web APIs. However, the section about the history of the element is still interesting. As the tweet which was shared h…

This isn't an article, but I used ChatGPT to make a Hacker News extension (which I'm now using), that highlights new comments when I navigate to a thread I've already visited: http…

I actually got it to work through debugging its own code by running it and giving it error messages (which reference the line), or describing the thing that wasn't working. I didn'…

It might come up with something "good enough" for the vague ones. Case in point, I got it to write a chrome extension to highlight new comments in Hacker News: https://github.com/H…

I worked with ChatGPT to produce a very simple extension for Hacker News. Each commit contains my prompt in the commit message, and the commit is entirely composed of ChatGPT outpu…

I think you intended this as a reply to someone else. Or at least, it sounds like you're agreeing with me.

It's not open-source or really polished for consumption. I did get permission to open-source it, but unfortunately didn't have the time to improve it to the point where it would be…

> It covers generic constraints. Indeed, but I'm not sure how that's relevant since it doesn't cover generic parameter defaults.

I think others have covered it here, but I want to point out that I actually think Typescript's docs are quite good for end-users! But, like the article here points out, lacking , …

Yes, and a great way to do that is to read documentation, of which Typescript is frequently lacking. For example, I got a suggestion in the discord recently to use "generic paramet…
