ahel··on Scala 3.0
Is Play Framework still used/developed? Haven't seen any progress from performance in the last years. Happy to get corrected, though.
ahel··on Remote code execution in Homebrew by compromising the official Cask repository
What would you have used in this case?
ahel··on Ask HN: Will Rust become a good career choice?
Do you have any good link/books for learning about JVM?

I found that there are tons of beginner java, but nothing on JVM.

I've only found by Scott Oaks Java Performance, which gives some interesting knowledge about JVM but it's a secondary focus.

ahel··on The Ponzi Career
Which is very fun, counting that wealthy investor could potentially keep certain areas of the world in an impoverished state so to reap young gifted childs.
ahel··on Data structures and algorithms I actually used while working at tech companies
> Recruiters and official interview guides say that your "thought processes" matter a lot, but reports from in the field tend to imply that the #1 most important factor is that you get the optimal solution. If you can't, your "thought processes" are worth little, barring exceptional circumstances

Agree. Also "there is no hard requirement in completing both part of the exercise" is another lie.

ahel··on An interview code submission that wasn’t even submitted changed our process
> Anyone who finds a way to find exactly the right candidates from a filter in a way that isn’t bespoke and is scalable is going to be very successful.

I disagree with the filtering attitude. Everybody wants the best candidate but they are not offering the best job.

If you can, hire the first person who convinced you that it's not going to be tough to work with and build an adult and professional relationship where each side is clear on expectations and demands.

Of course if you need a specialist, then be clear (and feel free to check) that specific ability are required. But why don't you have the time to make somebody grow organically those ability/knowledge internally?

ahel··on Show HN: Obsidian – A knowledge base that works on local Markdown files
I tried it today. I already had a directory full of .md and .adoc so it was nice to see those in a new editor. But of course the graph is just a bubble of unlinked dots. I did started to link some but I don't see the benefit.

Took a shower and my enthusiasm got cold: how can I know my data is safe aka not getting uploaded somewhere?

There is an AutoUpdate feature after-all. :(

it's just markdown and [[two way links]]

I already asked and got no as answer
ahel··on Surveillance on UK council websites [pdf]
LOL you're in for a treat if you don't know hotjar and think that GA is problematic! Hotjar tracks(or used to at least) every mouse movement and click on a site so that you could analyze what happened to your clients or perspective ones.
ahel··on The Unison language
have a look if you want some example and what dev process looks like https://dev.to/petets/palindromes-with-unison-5h9o
ahel··on China harvested organs from political prisoners, says tribunal
I've seen them multiple times in London's ChinaTown. Same skepticism

ahel··on ‘I’m Broke and Mostly Friendless, and I’ve Wasted My Whole Life’
I'm from the flock that value his own practical and hard-learnt lessons over prepackaged answers. Yes it could be said it's more inefficient but I see a beautiful depth in earning your own growth.

Following an ethical life path does not provide the same value as rediscovering it.

ahel··on Superintelligence: The Idea That Eats Smart People (2016)
Reduce the cat in a state of prolonged hunger and it will jump on the tuna when you offer it.
ahel··on Don’t work “remotely”
blairreeves.me uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for . Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT
ahel··on My Amazon Interview Horror Story
Same happened here. I was junior so I blamed myself at first.

Do all sw dev position require Ruby on Rails production experience?
ahel··on iOS 12 released

OK

ahel··on Ask HN: How to organize personal knowledge?
Yeah. Summarize and Anki. Otherwise you are just collecting.
ahel··on Zulip – Open-source, threading-based Slack alternative
> file uploads

Good question. Uploading an image from slack iOS app takes forever and most of the time don't succeed.

It's not a network issue since other apps manage just fine.

ahel··on Ask HN: Elizabeth Holmes has 200 patents – if tech didn't work, why not noticed?
Then if you're interested in being less wrong, I suggest you to question why you were believing what you said, keeping in mind it was wrong.
ahel··on The high modernism of social media companies
Adults aren't infallible nor manipulation resistant just because they are adults. It's true that we can do better but criminalising semi-aware victims doesn't help. Bias and gamification and manipulation and curiosity and herd mentality are a thing.

ahel··on Antarctica’s potential collapse could damage coastal cities across the globe
Could?
ahel··on Valve – Handbook for New Employees (2012) [pdf]
Slightly off-topic but: why is 9-17? Here I've always seen people working 9-18 with one hour off for lunch. Is this an Italian peculiarity?

well...

ahel··on Show HN: A Chrome extension to remind you why you opened Facebook
It's like a month that I uninstalled the facebook app, because it didn't provide enough value. I didn't noticed the correlation until now, but last week I started carrying with me my old kindle touch during my commute. It just happened and I'm at Chapter 11 of Crystal Society [http://crystal.raelifin.com/].
