That follow-up tweet freaks me out. What does that have to do with anything, really. I think it's rather unprofessional and would prefer people not make self-congratulatory statements about their personal beliefs.

It's a part of Twitter culture. If you are an unknown person and one of your tweets suddenly goes viral, you get to post a follow-up tweet promoting yourself or whatever you want. This person apparently cares about trans rights.

I think it started in "black twitter". People would post jokes and it one of them took off they'd post a link to their SoundCloud page asking people to check out their "mixtape". Others started joking that they don't have a SoundCloud, but check out my book/art/Ruby package/craft beer.

Am I the only person that thinks it’s weird that we encourage using unique passwords everywhere, but the second piece of information needed to login (username, email etc) we tend to keep the same for everything? I posted a Show HN last night for a side project I’ve built that can solve the email part of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19296936

I did a cheap version of this where I didn't have to build anything but I could test out the concept because I thought it would be awesome and I thought I wanted it.

Long story short it became problematic pretty quickly and I ditched it. You need to also be able to reply as that email address too etc. It's been done a bunch a times I understand.

Bopomofo has nothing to do with Taiwan, specifically. It's a system introduced by the Republic of China, and tha continues to be used in the Republic of China (only Taiwan left these days). That's because the mainland switched to Pinyin in the 50s. That being said, Taiwan has now also officially switched to Pinyin so use may increase. Edit: Another interesting, and old, system to write Mandarin using the Arabic alpha…

Bopomofo is still taught in taiwan and zhuyin is still used for typing. The only thing changed is signs now use pinyin....

It's a start...

I laughed out loud when I saw the sponsored domain registrar links down the page advertising “FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8.travel” and other TLDs.

.com is taken :( https://www.godaddy.com/domainsearch/find?checkAvail=1&tmske...

.dev is not taken (yet). I think this might be one of the best uses for a joke .dev domain. :)

And, sadly, the more users use it the more chance that the big players start to ban such addresses.

It actually happened with the anti-spam services I‘ve used, twice.

Word of warning, if you use an ad/content blocker like uBlock Origin, and block 3rd-party JS, then HIBP may give up on its k-anonymity mechanism and just sends your password to their server in cleartext. Ensure you specifically permit loading jQuery from cloudflare.com, and check network traffic using a test password first.

I'm still impressed by the number of technical people that are willing to give you their passwords by a way or another, a common way being when they are offered to check if his password has been leaked. Once a friend shared with me one of those services, he got surprised when I raised my concern about compromising his password, he took a second to check the developer tools to see if there was any request including hi…

I had always wondered if they do, and I've known it's possible, but this is the first time I've heard any accounts of it. Would you have more info on this?

Just for etymology correctness, "姦爾娘" would be better than "幹你娘".

There is a lot of detail in those characters. Do you use larger a font size for this script?

Native English speaker here, I still browse HN at 150% zoom because I use displays with a high DPI (Macbook pro retina 15" and the Dell U25 and U27 series screens).

It's just more comfortable that way.

It does have some resemblance to katakana. The first character at least looks very similar to メ.

Yes, katakana is inspired by Chinese characters... roll eyes. For example, the Katakana character you mention is directly taken from Chinese.

Your comment would have been better received without the insult.

As someone who has worked on scraping sites that really didn't want to be scraped, there is all kinds of interference with dev tools in the wild.

There are many ways to detect it's open (eg. https://github.com/sindresorhus/devtools-detect) and it's also possible to mess with it without knowing it's open. A method that's wildly used is firing the debugger break command many times a second, along with other stuff that makes using the tools nearly impossible (slows the browser down to a halt)

Well they don't change the signs in Tainan or Taipei, only exists in 1 or 2 county's.

Hopefully they don't switch to pinyin, and I especially hope they don't switch to Simplified.
