JrProgrammeron Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI

What is your solution to this problem? Surely ranting about it online isn't going to help?

JrProgrammeron HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88

They are not evaluating human beings though. They evaluate a textual representation of a human being’s work experience.

Not that I agree with this AI approach but when hiring, the real test begins after this initial hurdle

JrProgrammeron Librepods: AirPods liberated

There is a feature compatibility list…

JrProgrammeron Cate v1.0 is out: The Infinite canvas workspace for developers

Cool project! I've been playing around with a couple of different implementations of an infinite canvas.

One of the reasons why I did not go with an HTML based approach is because the XY translation gets really laggy with a couple dozen items.

Is that something you thought about and accounted for?

JrProgrammeron Spanish court declines to fine NordVPN over LaLiga piracy blocking order

Refering to football as foot egg when it’s actually a ball as opposed to the hand egg in the US is weird to me.

OT: La Liga shouldn’t have this kind of power and it’s good to see the court take a stance

JrProgrammeron The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics

I can imagine that the process of fabrication relies on tweaking a tremendous amount of parameters. In a sense seasoning a skillet and perfecting it to the max

JrProgrammeron Tove Jansson's criticized illustrations of The Hobbit (2023)

> A lot of people have chosen to take the Hobbit as seriously as its older brother

Do you refer to the LOTR trilogy as The Hobbit's older brother here? I was under the impression that The Hobbit was the first book in this saga?

JrProgrammeron I’m joining OpenAI

They have a coding plan

JrProgrammeron Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server

There is also Dokploy which is what I've been using on my homelab for a while. https://dokploy.com/

JrProgrammeron Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server

<Insert every cloud provider here>. There are countless posts on HN that describe people and businesses being blocked by a cloud provider like GCP. Hetzner is by all means not an outlier.

JrProgrammeron A 12,000-year-old obelisk with a human face was found in Karahan Tepe

To me, blaming an activity which requires active participation for “brain-drain” is such a weird and quite dated thing. Take social media for example, these require no active participation other than moving your thumb up and down, and is in my opinion the real brain rot these days.

People will always find a way to get their dopamine, be it video games, reading, watching stuff, etc.

Don’t pick out a single thing and make it the boogey man.

JrProgrammeron Linux desktop market share climbs to 4.45%

I have no idea what you are talking about, I've used fedora for over a year now and aside from some tweaking, which I explicitly did myself, I've never had to go into some weird configs to change anything.

It just works

JrProgrammeron Ollama releases Python and JavaScript Libraries

What’s the benefit of abstracting something?

JrProgrammeron How to Not Get Screwed over as a Software Engineer [video]

For a lot of people, work happiness is also a big factor, as it should. You’re spending at least 1/3rd of your whole day at your work. Choosing a specific path does not make you smarter per definition

JrProgrammeron Show HN: Open-source Postman alternative with type safety

I would argue the offering is actually very clear. A nice demo is included. If you’re not using any REST clients it might be a bit harder to understand but I doubt you’re the intended target group

JrProgrammeron Show HN: I made a pretty relaxing puzzle game

I agree. I liked the idea but seeing an ideal number just puts pressure on something that shouldn't be.

Maybe create a casual/competitive toggle?

Anyways good job OP :)

JrProgrammeron Python is Actually Portable

I think what is happening here is that the python interpreter can be used as an executable. This way you don't have to install python on the host machine and can carry your programs on a USB stick for example.

Correct me if I'm wrong

JrProgrammeron Show HN: I’m Building a Nerf Dart Missile Defense System [video]

Great Video! I love how systematic you are with your testing. Instant subscribe!

JrProgrammeron City Does Not Exist

I was thinking that too but this seems to be in line with the https://thispersondoesnotexist.com series of websites where they are AI generated

JrProgrammeron Show HN: Outage Bingo

https://outage.bingo/?month=1&seed=79313

Just need Apple to go down :)

JrProgrammeron Tesla opens charging network to other EVs for the first time

I'm happy we don't let the building/access of infrastructure to companies only and instead let them work something out with the government/EU. In a country where space is not abundant, it would be hell to search through multiple proprietary stations to find the right charger.

JrProgrammeron The Polar Bear – Open-Source, Multipurpose CNC Machine with a Rotary Axis

Oh yeah, I see what you mean and I agree with you!

JrProgrammeron The Polar Bear – Open-Source, Multipurpose CNC Machine with a Rotary Axis

While the project itself is interesting, the styling of the website is quite enchanting as well!

JrProgrammeron Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years (1998)

The domains you listed are not really disproving my point. I'm certain that programs could be made in JavaScript for these domains but, like I said in my first comment, it's probably a bad fit.

For example: Espruino is a platform for embedded JavaScript.

I just think about it this way: Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean you couldn't

JrProgrammeron iOS 15 Humane

I recently switched from Android to iOS and it irritates me that Apple push their own product multiple times a week. It might be because my account is new but at least once a week I get notifications of the free year of apple tv and apple arcade without any way to disable this (if you guys know of one please respond)

Besides the notifications I think it's a dark pattern from Apple to actually show a red number badge above the settings app when there is no actionable item except the two things mentioned above.

JrProgrammeron Fastly Outage

> This incident affects: North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA)).

How come we are affected by this in the Netherlands?

JrProgrammeron Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years (1998)

I would say it is. It didn't start as one but over the decades it sure has become a general purpose language.

I can't find a domain where JS wouldn't fit the description. While it may be a bad fit for certain problems, it can still be done.

JrProgrammeron Terms and Conditions Game

SPOILER!

It's the third option for question 25! You know there can only be one answer right and the only answer that leaves just one possibility is the third one.

It also seems you have a hard time responding to inverted questions. Just like in logic I try to invert the meaning. If you invert the meaning of the sentence, you also want to invert the answer. Let's say we inverted disagree into agree in question 20. The question would then become: Do you agree to receiving them?

The answer would be no. If you then invert the question back the answer would be yes.
