Zisko··on Asian faiths try to save swastika symbol corrupted by Hitler
Thanks for understanding.

And fwiw I agree that no one should try and suppress using the symbol in the old ways.

Context is important (putting it on a billboard in queens would obviously have a much higher chance of being misinterpreted) but cooler heads will prevail.

But in this context [not accusing you, just giving context for why I’m commenting at all] it’s just alarming when encountering a world view where people auto jump to jews are centrally organizing to try to control ~thing~. I understand it's very hard to quell this habit once it starts.

> This silliness of taking things out of context and then attacking them has got to stop.

A comment in a thread about a swastika should not be used as an opportunity to connect Judaism to Israeli policy. The discussion of the suffering of the Jews of Europe and their sensitivity to this symbol is orthogonal to that YouTube video you linked.

This is an example of a commonly used anti-semetic tactic to try and link these two together in order to justify lack of sympathy for Jews.

> millions of people in Europe

Many of whom immigrated to the United States after WW2.

Zisko··on Hyperlinks in Handwriting
I clicked through to the transcript after reading the handwritten part and it felt like a punchline because of how readable it was! It would be nice if this were somehow a JS toggle but hidden on the same page to enable accessibility.

I think the problem with doing something like this (besides accessibility) is you can never get the comfortable reading size right because the screen size/shape will never align with the flow of your text.

Zisko··on Show HN: Solana Workbench, your one stop shop for Solana development
This is great- a small project I made to learn solana development was made tough with toolchain and validator issues. (I was unable to run a validator on an M1 macbook until then!)

It got better after v9, but having GUI tools will hopefully promote toolchain stability!

Zisko··on Ask HN: Any successful transitions from a tech/IT career to working in the arts?

Zisko··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2015)
SEEKING WORK (Remote, or in Miami):

iOS, or Django/ Web!

I've built multiple (around 14) full-stack apps in production. I make iOS apps, and web servers to go with them.

I have 2 months (until June) until my IP agreement with one of the big 3 tech companies goes into play, so I'm perfect for a part-time or prototype contract job! I work quickly to make maintainable, long lasting systems.

Zisko··on Why does anyone still use Eclipse?
This is exactly how I feel. Frustrated that it's easy to ruin an entire project just by one mistaken click of the mouse.

Can I have Stretchier?
Zisko··on A WebGL game engine
That's awesome! The spaceship especially. I wonder if it's possible to make the turning radius smaller though. Going to poke around. Thanks for doing this!
Zisko··on Why I moved to Miami
As a native born Miamian studying CS the University of Miami, this excites me. I grew up in Bal Harbour and around college time I knew leaving would be a mistake. Nothing compares to the Aventura/ South Beach/ Coral Gables environments. However, It's been really hard to get into the tech community here, even though theres an amazing potential for startups in this city. I'm working on something myself but it seems as if theres no support and I always assumed I'd have to move to California or up north if I wanted to be a serious programmer, so this is great news!

P.S. If anyone needs an intern, I make a great cuban coffee! jacobmizraji@gmail.com
