Narhem··on OpenNMS: Visualize and monitor everything on your local and distributed networks
Ended up starting to write my own network analysis tool. Most of these tools don’t fit in with “home lab” type networks. Probably should finish it and share it here, might actually fit people’s use cases.
Narhem··on Cloudflare misidentifies Hetzner IPs as being located in Iran
Curiosity may get me on this one, but is sharing information (such as this post/comment) an example of transfer of information (to potentially all countries)?
Narhem··on The PhD Paradox: A Journey into Academia's Upside-Down World
I feel like this article missed the mark, getting a PhD used to be something for affluent people who genuinely felt like contributing toward the progress of society.

There’s always a disconnect between a romanticized ideal and what is practically possible. And reading the comments what some departments do to secure funding seem like a far cry from the ivory towers universities were known for.

Narhem··on Bento: Jupyter Notebooks at Meta
Netflix’s situation is caused by their business model.
Narhem··on Launch HN: Marblism (YC W24) – Generate full-stack web apps from a prompt
I’d love a tool like this to speed up development and I haven’t used the app but you always have to manually edit things afterwards. The difficulty with web apps is getting people to use them.

Cool tool, hope it takes off.

Narhem··on Launch HN: Marblism (YC W24) – Generate full-stack web apps from a prompt
This seems awesome! Anyone else find this to be kind of scary?

The start to Web3.0 AIs making Web 2.0 applications to take over the world.

Narhem··on Show HN: Sisi – Semantic Image Search CLI tool, locally without third party APIs
A lot of the prodemently used programming languages and libraries have references to feces if you speak Farsi.
Narhem··on Show HN: Sisi – Semantic Image Search CLI tool, locally without third party APIs
I read it as sisi, but which means “thank you” in viet.
Narhem··on Breaking Down OnlyFans' Economics
You could say that about anything related to the internet. But yes when shown extreme examples it’s obvious how unokay it is.

As a person who tried to start a startup but had been hacked and assaulted by the organizations who seem to maintain their monopoly by whatever methods they can use it’s more like a mob of pimps than a single pimp.

Narhem··on Kolmogorov-Arnold networks may make neural networks more understandable
The purpose of post-prediction explanations would be to increase confidence of a practitioner to use said inference.

It’s a disconnect between finding a real life “AI” and trying to find something which works and you can have a form of trust with.

Narhem··on Neanderthals' social isolation may have sped up their extinction
Heaven forbid we encourage people to have fun. I personally like my jail cell and prison clothes.
Narhem··on Google says replacing C/C++ in firmware with Rust is easy
Not surprised, rarely is it worth rewriting an entire codebase though.

Not sure who would do that or what the implications might be for replacing all the say Python code with cpp.

Narhem··on Nginx has moved to GitHub
nginx is one of the building blocks inside Kubernetes. I'd say it's doing okay and probably will for the foreseeable future. I've had the chance to look into the code base and it's relatively easy to read and work with, I doubt there will ever not be funding to have people contribute.
Narhem··on gRPC: The Ugly Parts
Yea, but from the complexities of managing external facing libraries they do an extremely well job. As a former Googler I can jump into bazel, grpc projects or start my own relatively easily.

I tried making a few guides on a personal blog explaining how to use these tools but to be honest without seeing how they get used within Google it's relatively difficult to understand why they have some of the design decisions which may seem as clunky initially.

Narhem··on Cannabis Use Linked to Epigenetic Changes, Study Shows: ScienceAlert
Mushrooms cause epigenetic changes. Click bait article is being click bait.
Narhem··on Google Play will no longer pay to discover vulnerabilities in Android apps
I’m surprised HTML5 never took off. Browsers ended up regressing on some features like offline apps. Honestly with things like web components, you can bypass a lot of the needed steps to make halfway decent multiplatform applications by relying on a browser engine.

Sure you could use a react based app with some of the compilers but it’s like opening another bag of worms.

Narhem··on Deals with the devil aren't what they used to be
Surprised what educating people and making them write their own sentences does to the psyche of a population.
Narhem··on Palantir’s accelerated security clearance plan for students
The upside being having a security clearance is means almost always having a job available.
Narhem··on Google is a monopoly – the fix isn't obvious
You could say the same thing about every technology company.
Narhem··on An approach to optimizing TypeScript type checking performance
If I had to guess working with parsing xml is more complicated than traditional code.

Can’t find the links but one of the reasons I’ve seen people move away from xml has been due to the speed in parsing when compared to json or csv.

Narhem··on DOJ may want to break up Google
It also knows how to bully people trying to entire the space.
Narhem··on DOJ may want to break up Google
Total market share, you can’t generate more time to steal from people which is effectively what these companies like Google have done to generate revenue.

If the government steps in they would have to break them all up and expect to make entering those sections possible. At the moment it’s nearly impossible.

Honestly we need an entirely new “technology” stacks to provide alternatives to the monopoly that either the stock market has or the secret conglomerate of Silicon Valley.
Narhem··on DOJ may want to break up Google
Daily Motion seemed like a good alternative to YouTube, but how do you funnel people to the site and make money from it.

YouTube has been catering towards children, which is kind of strange to me.

Narhem··on DOJ may want to break up Google
If the purpose would be to bust monopolies, being next to impossible to find an email delivery service as a startup which sends emails successfully to Yahoo/Gmail would be more of a hurdle.

Even if that means directly setting up a service with the US government to ensure deliveries, would be a bigger step towards getting new technology companies.

Narhem··on Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail
In practice that’s not too crazy. It’s fast easy to debug and works with most CI/CD tools.

If you ever want to work in teams that kind of setup works extremely well.

Narhem··on Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail
Seen the same with exposed matlab web apps. Not just the Python guys, kind of shocking how much group think exists on any platform.
Narhem··on Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail
When do you ship notebooks to production? Jupiter was never meant for external clients.
Narhem··on AMD records its highest server market share in decades
Intels market share is pretty close to a monopoly.
Narhem··on Federal appeals court finds geofence warrants “categorically” unconstitutional
Not even a good analogy when it comes to technology. Standing close to the door could be considered illegal and even if you had the legal right to entire anything you would find could be inadmissible.
