Numbers lost all meaning...
TruthWillHurt··on A method to promote sleep in crying infants using the transport response [pdf]
That's how I put my newborn to sleep initially, and it works, BUT there's a problem here -

If the baby falls asleep in your arms, when he lightly wakes up middle of the night he expects to be in your arms, instead he finds he's alone in bed, and wakes up fully, panics and starts crying.

It is usually recommended to place the baby in his crib while awake, for him to fall asleep there and wake up in the same place he fell asleep in.

This is according to "sleep training", and I can testify it absolutely works (after two difficult nights where baby needs to adjust to falling asleep alone)

Amazing to see people doing such important work. As an engineer I should really step aside and let these guys run the internet.

Too.. much.. design...

Must.. buy.. beanie hat

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Generalist contractors, what is your hourly rate?
I'm assuming you do Frontend? What else? What frameworks would you suggest?

I feel I could definitely build a project myself, but I find FE to be very time consuming.

TruthWillHurt··on List of Creepypastas
Not happy my donation is wasted on hosting this.
TruthWillHurt··on SDN in the stratosphere: Loon's aerospace mesh network
Baloons are simpler, sturdier and much cheaper.
TruthWillHurt··on How fat does a fat binary need to be? (2021)
Mate, you gotta relax a bit. You're making the rest of us look bad.
TruthWillHurt··on More content by people, for people in Search
We don't need an update. We need a rollback.
TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: In 2022, what is the proper way to get into machine/deep learning?
There are very few positions such as this, as most AI/ML companies models are in infancy and will be ready "some day".

Even if you find such a role it will be chaotic and not meaningful.

TruthWillHurt··on Autonomous Reputation System
You didn't miss it, you're right. Actors get "S" reputation they can award others periodically.

The max amount they can accumulate/award is based on their own reputation.

Makes no difference. 1 bot awarding 50 points or 50 bots awarding 1 point each..

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: How do you work with Dependabot?
I set it up on a repo, then delete emails I recieve from it.
TruthWillHurt··on JiraCLI
I'd love to see command piping into JiraCLI,

So I can do `rm -rf / | jiracli`

15 min/session, even on highest payed tier?

I smell AWS Lambda :D

If you ever tried integrating with their API(s), you'd want that company to be gone.

Sure, if the Australian government says so than it must be true..
TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Working in tech for climate?
The latest douchebaggery from entrepreneubros since crypto.

Climatetech is a scheme to sound good to investors.

TruthWillHurt··on Dreamhost Shared Hosting Has Been Down for 3 Days
It's very very very common. Look at "Who's hiring?" threads - most roles are "Remote/US".

Companies do it mostly due to timezone and beurocratic reasons (they can't pay salary/tax abroad).

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Where can I find small companies to work for part-time?
From my experience, part-time roles are few and far between.

(It certainly doesn't help that agents post jobs as part-time only to lure you to apply so they can start nagging you.)

The part-time roles that are available are usually either very simple, short-term tasks, Or companies with extremely limited budgets that will under-pay you, and try to squeeze the most out of you and give you trouble with payment and hours worked.

I suggest opening a company, adding some friends, and taking up multiple contracts simultaniously.

TruthWillHurt··on From idea to paying customer
Amazing that you skipped login/signup and self-service bootstrapping!

Such a great decision. even OAuth/SSO solutions can complicate things, and why spend time on automation before you have the load to justify it?

Well done.

TruthWillHurt··on Show HN: Ants Sandbox - an ants simulator
Yea I think something was borked with my Linux Nvidia driver. Works at 60fps in Windows.
TruthWillHurt··on Show HN: Ants Sandbox - an ants simulator
cool, but this needs WebGL or something as I'm getting 8 fps
TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Devs who passed whiteboarding at FAANG: how do you feel about it?
I don't mind whiteboard tests, or tests in general, but that is an example of a terrible test.

You want production grade code delivered on the spot? AUTOMATED TESTS?!? I wouldn't want to work for you.

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Devs who passed whiteboarding at FAANG: how do you feel about it?
That's incorrect. You interview for a specific role, and if you fail the interview you're done. No matter the promise they'll "look for other roles for you".
TruthWillHurt··on 3D Diagrams of London Underground Stations
I look at these and still don't understand some stations :D

I swear there isn't really a tube - you just walk to your destination underground and the train is an illusion.

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: How to raise a seed round in a down market?
Have paying customers.
TruthWillHurt··on Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2022
There are more blind developers than non-binary ones.

Perhaps we should add Braille to our business cards besides the he/him they/them descriptors.

TruthWillHurt··on GitHub Copilot is generally available
I really don't like it.

I find I spend my time reviewing Copilot suggestions (which are mostly wrong) rather than thinking about code and actually doing the work.

TruthWillHurt··on Talos Linux
So.. it's CoreOS all over again?

Or Ubuntu Eucalyptus?

(Neither is still with us. wonder why..)
