SmellyPotato22··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
This anecdotal, but I feel like YouTube applies a positive sentiment filter to its all of its comments. Somehow on most videos I watch never see anything critical at the top of the comment section.
SmellyPotato22··on Show HN: Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark
For macOS you all should look into integrating with the Endpoint Security API. It also provides larger subset of events than just syscalls. You can see them all with `eslogger --list-events`.

SmellyPotato22··on A mansion hidden directly under the Bay Bridge
Recently a regular ferry that goes between the island and the ferry building was established. It’s a very pleasant ride and they allow you to take your bike on it.
SmellyPotato22··on Amazon Buys One Medical
I have one medical. Basically the value proposition for me is that its easier interface to the whole medical system. Finding a primary care physicians can be done in like 5 minutes. Stuff like scheduling appointments, virtual visits, vaccines, tests and what not through the app is super easy. IDK if it will get mainstream adoption but to me it takes the edge off seeking medical care. Also their clinics are nice and in convenient places.

SmellyPotato22··on Amazon Clinic
Amazon bought one medical earlier this year for 3.9 billion. I wonder if this is the result of that purchase.
SmellyPotato22··on San Francisco’s famous sourdough was once gross
I feel like the most Bay Area bread is Dutch Crunch. So ubiquitous here and very delicious.
SmellyPotato22··on macOS now scans for malware whenever it gets a chance
Totally that's why Apple made endpoint security for security vendors. You can even pipe the events from the kernel with "sudo eslogger exec | jq" on the new macOS

SmellyPotato22··on Omega-3 fatty acids and exercise: a review of their combined effects (2011) [pdf]
Seems like an effective way to extract the fat and get use out of whole fish. Similar to any soup. I do wish FDA regulated some supplements but I think reputable brands are doing the good for the most part.

It’s a piece a salami that rotates back and forth and when you click the salami, music plays.

If you search on Zillow for 301 Mission St, San Francisco, you will still find condos for sale.
SmellyPotato22··on How an Anti-TypeScript “JavaScript developer” like me became a TypeScript fan
If you are working on the server side, ts-node has been a huge timesaver. It removes the extra step of compiling and lets you just run your script with `ts-node script.ts` or even `#!/usr/bin/env ts-node` at the top of your file works.

SmellyPotato22··on Bad TypeScript Habits
I think that about right. Although I think this is slightly different than regular zip which is [a] -> [b] -> [(a,b)] and instead would be ([a],[b]) -> [c] or if I remember currying right [a] -> [b] -> [c].
SmellyPotato22··on Bad TypeScript Habits
Kinda gets a little hairy if you start to add more types. Example: `//fork :: [a] ->((a -> b ), (a -> c)) -> ([b] ,[c])`

`fork<A,B,C>(fn1:(el:Iterator<A>)=>B,fn2:(el:Iterator<A>)=>C)`

SmellyPotato22··on Bad TypeScript Habits
In the context I am thinking about, writing a generic iterator, you have 0 context of the what the concrete types will ever be.
SmellyPotato22··on Bad TypeScript Habits
I disagree with claim that One letter generics are a bad habit. In my opinion, it is proper to use one letter generics but start with A then B, then C... so it enables to reason about generics positionally. Pseudo example of this:

`map<A,B>(fn:(el:A)=>B):B[]`

SmellyPotato22··on [dead]
I think you are right. It has that GPT-3 feel, in my opinion, because there is no central thesis. Either way, how does a site like hackernews filter out spam like this?
SmellyPotato22··on Zoom Is Not the Problem – Our Meeting-Centric Workflow Is
You are not being too cynical. I think just yesterday there was a post about some person complaining about Google Analytics and it was a pitch for their product.

SmellyPotato22··on AI Can Automatically Fire Low-Productivity Workers
You could always track employee productivity with traditional statistical methods and they have been doing it for years. Just because we have super fancy regression analysis with ML doesn't mean humans will loose their rights. Linear regression is just as dangerous for our rights.
