DocJade··on Yandex bot traffic down 99% after data center attack
It's actually incredible how terrible google images seems in comparison. Yandex is just so, so good for reverse image search
DocJade··on Before pixels: Modular industrial dashboards
There's really so much physicality to interacting with objects that we've lost as we switch to more and more touch screens and capacitive buttons. Also the reassuring "thunk" of a nice chunky button to confirm you've pressed it is just so important to user confidence
DocJade··on DaVinci Resolve 21.1
Talking shit about Linux support or the software itself? I know at least 4 YouTubers that do all of their edits in resolve
DocJade··on GPT‑5.3‑Codex‑Spark
Bigger chip = more surface area = higher chance for somewhere in the chip to have a manufacturing defect

Yields on silicon are great, but not perfect

DocJade··on Fluster: Floppy disk cluster filesystem in Rust
I wrote this hehe, I'll answer any questions if people have them
DocJade··on Beating Factorio on Savee Icons (Floppy disks)
I'm OP. AMA.
DocJade··on Cloudflare was down
my tunnels are still working, oddly
DocJade··on Ask HN: Stock Android phone free of bloatware?
I have a pixel 6 pro, works great Never had problems with the microphones, and calls are extra clear because they do some ai nonsense to upscale the audio coming into the phone My 2 main gripes are: The modem, I have issues with reception in the strangest locations, I can have direct line of sight to 3 different cell towers and still get stuck on edge till I hit the "Fix connectivity" button in settings, but when it is working (which it does 95% of the time), works great The camera, amazing photo quality, videos look great, I have nothing against image quality. But the videos this thing takes are MASSIVE, even with HVEC on, a 50 second video can weigh over 300mb. Not sure what's up with that. Oh also the main shooter camera is mechanically separated from the rest of the phone, so if you shake the phone or whip pan it too hard, you can hear it rattle.

Overall 9/10 though! I hear the pixel 7 has a better modem

DocJade··on US Postal Service commits to buying 100% electric trucks by 2026
This makes sense for the small stop and go trucks for around town, but I'm not sure if it's that great of an idea for longer haul trips between distribution centers
DocJade··on For some with ADHD, the low rumble of brown noise quiets the brain
+1 on Infected Mushroom, they rock!
DocJade··on For some with ADHD, the low rumble of brown noise quiets the brain
My pick recently has been Eurobeat when programming / writing, but I used to listen to breakcore for focus too.
DocJade··on Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've built?
At work: In house tool for helping image computers without interacting with them as much. (I work in IT)
DocJade··on Finding the Darkest Pencil
I would guess this would be for drawing purposes? I don't see the appeal of writing with a charcoal pencil
DocJade··on Some people who appear to be in a coma may be conscious
Relevant: https://youtu.be/LTikuFFr7JA

It genuinely terrifies me that this could happen to anyone in a moments notice

DocJade··on Record Labels Say AI Music Generators Threaten Music Industry
Another box for "things that threaten the music industry" bingo
DocJade··on Age of Empires
I have so many fond memories of AOE 2 :) i r winner
DocJade··on Twitter's New Icons
They look pretty clean, but did they really need to refresh? Everything looked fine before IMHO
DocJade··on Ask HN: What are you doing this weekend?
I want to finally start learning object oriented programming.

I've written a lot of stuff for automating tasks at work (Windows PowerShell) and tinkered with hobby projects (rust, python) in my free time, but I've never been able to wrap my head around why someone wouldn't want to do everything functionally until quite recently.

I taught myself to program so I didn't even know about the term "functional programming" until quite recently :P

DocJade··on The ugly business logic behind Kanye West’s Parler acquisition
I forgot about Parler's existence, it was super hyped up for about a month, then it fell off the face of the earth and I never heard anything about it again.
DocJade··on Google Japan designed a (long) single row keyboard
I hope someone designs a vertical version too
DocJade··on Shasta: AI-powered audio recording and editing
The audio denoising / filtering they have seems quite impressive, if only I could use it in real-time on teams calls
DocJade··on Design the next iPhone
“Be not afraid”
DocJade··on Simulating an Entire Car Engine (yes, it makes noise) [video]
I’m almost 1 month clean of Cracktorio, and I genuinely crave the problem solving aspect of it every single day.
DocJade··on Unusual Uses of Excel
How dare they not show the Excel Roller Coaster Simulator! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrVA1BBHFHw
DocJade··on BlenderBot 3: A 175B parameter, publicly available chatbot
Had a good conversation about PowerShell vs bash, its very coherent unlike cleverbot. Very cool!
DocJade··on Show HN: Doxx Me – See how doxxable your phone number is
Nothing besides my carrier B)
DocJade··on A Deep Dive on a Thin Watch
Excellent read! Thanks for sharing this!
DocJade··on Windows Registry mods, advanced tweaking and more
ShareX is a great alternative for the built in screenshot tools, it’ll even take gif screenshots :) I think it also has screen recording, but I’ve never used that
DocJade··on Nobody likes self-checkout. Here's why it's everywhere
I genuinely enjoy the convenience of self checkout, if you know how to use one, they seem to be faster

Especially after going to the same store a couple times, you eventually memorize where the buttons are and the quirks of the system

But yeah I fall into the “less items” category most of the time, but even for larger loads I prefer self checkout

Maybe it’s just because it’s interactive, or maybe it’s because I don’t want to talk to a depressed cashier
