About kronholm

Long time HN lurker, but recently registered.

Been coding (scripting, mostly) for 4ish years. Previous experience doing loads of webdesign, general design, 3d graphics (modeling and animation) and a billion other things.

As Adam Savage would say: Jack of All trades, master of none - but better than a master of one.

(that was written in 2013, I think)

    Article says two explosions, but there were four, afaik. Edit, a source, well, says 4 leaks: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-29/sweden-sa...

    Not at all. Wireshark is for monitoring and analysis of network+hardware stuff, and WireGuard is for VPN stuff.

    Once you get used to two panes, it's hard to go back. From ~1990 to now (yikes, 30 years!), I've used these: - Amiga: Directory Opus (DOpus) - MSDOS: Norton Commander (NC) - Window…

    Isn't one of Nokia/Microsoft's phones, currently on market, at 42 megapixels?

    Janty has had something similar for a while, their Mid series. Hook it up to USB and you can program it in all sorts of ways, save/load profiles, change the puff LED colour to any …

    Same! And I'm sure the reason it didn't take that long with getting good at it, was it hurts like hell when you do the 33% thing on a couple large projects, when you're on your own…

    Been going at it for a couple years now with consulting and freelancing. I've finally gotten good at hitting my estimates. What worked for me was to keep strict time of everything …

    There's a slight learning curve, but it's overall very nice to work with. Been making a living from it for a year now, so I'm rather comfortable with it. You have to get in a kind …

    Maybe it's due to the phrasing of the question. I certainly prefer native (ok semi-close-ish native, I use Titanium), but I _will_ in the future prefer to be using HTML5, once it's…

    I'm curious in how you put Titanium next to PhoneGap (Disclaimer: I may be reading too much into that, or not understanding your meaning - 2nd language etc.). My experience with Ti…

    I define the line at webview = html, no webview = native.

    Very, very informative, thank you. I too have been wondering about this exact thing - if it's worth the trouble in the end, to do server checks and whatnot. Seems it's not, in thes…

    He's serious, and so am I. Trains go on rails, so a driverless car can go many places trains can't. Can't wait for it to become reality either. Like in Children of Men, but with ti…

    I wouldn't mind doing that, but not what sure you mean with "wifi hotspot functionality"?

    I do see your point, but wouldn't dropping your car keys also allow someone to steal your car?

    Thus why cross-platform solutions are having tremendous growth. If web won't win out, it'll certainly be a cross-platform solution in the long run. My money's on web, if performanc…

    Just to add to your post, I don't remember ever seeing anyone getting a deal at 5%. It's usually more around the 20-30% range, and sometimes with equity stakes on top of that.
