bhhaskin··on Show HN: Super Snowflake Maker
That was really neat. Thank you!
bhhaskin··on My favourite colour is Chuck Norris red
A ton of blog content is still "marketing" content. Even if it doesn't directly display ads. It's "SEO".
bhhaskin··on Show HN: Autonomous AI agents that monitor the stock market for you
If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck....
bhhaskin··on Sci-Fi Inspired Antenna Adjusts to Signal Needs
The US military has been doing stuff like this for a long time. I remember reading about a dish that would be filed with mercury and then spon. Allowing for adjusting the shape and focal point on the fly.
bhhaskin··on Russia and China rigged Romanian Elections using 10M fake TikTok accounts
Election rigging isn't the right term. It should be election interference.
bhhaskin··on ‘With brain preservation, nobody has to die’
That's an interesting idea. I think as long as the continuity of consciousness happens then it doesn't matter and you would negate the copy problem.
bhhaskin··on Russia and China rigged Romanian Elections using 10M fake TikTok accounts
I am sure it's easy when you likely have direct access to APIs.
bhhaskin··on ‘With brain preservation, nobody has to die’
I think it would both be me until it started to drift, which would be almost instantly.
bhhaskin··on Contentlesshtml – An HTML page served entire in HTTP headers
Isn't every webpage served by http headers? =P
bhhaskin··on Marshall Brain has died
Well for starters having the technology for prefect recycling.
bhhaskin··on Bocker: Docker implemented in around 100 lines of Bash (2015)
Docker for Mac does run on Linux. Just a striped down lightweight vm. It's why file Io is complete shit. It's a network share.
bhhaskin··on Norwegian fishermen hunting for halibut caught a US nuclear sub
I would imagine they would have cable cutters built in, but maybe that would effect stealth.
bhhaskin··on Hertz's Tesla Fire Sale Continues as Depreciation Costs Mount
That's pretty much any new car today. Modern cars are pretty safe, but at the expense of damage to the car itself.
bhhaskin··on Please stop the coding challenges
And that might be hurting you in the long run. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
bhhaskin··on Please stop the coding challenges
Wouldn't that be a red flag if they don't have any public code at all as a senior developer? They aren't fresh out of school or just starting their careers. They should have something.
bhhaskin··on Please stop the coding challenges
I'm a senior developer. Of course I know how to code. Do you know how many code challenges I've done over the course of my career? 99% of them where terrible at evaluating my ability to code. They are a waste of time at the senior level. You are much better off with a conversation, looking at past work and experience and references than you are doing code challenges.

I responded to a different comment but it's also relevant here.

You're hiring for a senior role, not a junior or mid.

Your candidates aren't fresh out of school or just starting their careers. They already have plenty of work experience. They already know how to code and have been doing it for years. A conversation will tell you much more about their approaches to problems solving, team work, and mentoring than a coding challenge will. Looking at their GitHub, their work experience and references will tell you the rest.

It's like asking a doctor to go over basic human anatomy.

Why would you even do any of that for a senior role? I wouldn't waste my time with it, and it shows you don't know how to interview/evaluate for a senior position.
bhhaskin··on Meta nuclear powered AI data center scuppered by discovery of rare bee species
It's almost like it's an excuse not to build it.
bhhaskin··on Ask HN: Bluesky is #1 in the U.S. App Store. Is this a first for open source?
I have had the exact opposite experience with Mastodon. It's only stuff I care about and it's great!
bhhaskin··on 23andMe Lays Off 40% of Staff, Shuts Drug Development Business
Scary to think all that data will be up for grabs.
bhhaskin··on Automat
It's really not that hard to do. The big trade off here would be SEO and performance. So although they are good art projects or infographic type sites it's fairly useless for other things.
bhhaskin··on The realities of building an IPv6-only city – APNIC
This is pretty terrifying. Like IPv6 is good and all but what do you think all of those sensors are doing? Spying on citizens. It's super weird that anyone would want to be associated with that.
bhhaskin··on The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair
Except you can't because they abuse the shit out of the paten system. The paten system was a great idea when it protected up starts from being destroyed by the competition, but now it's used by incumbents to stifle markets.
bhhaskin··on Automattic turns to weaponizing responsible disclosure against WP Engine
It's all about maintaining control.
bhhaskin··on Abandoned mines cover the West
The Nevada division of Minerals has some great info: https://minerals.nv.gov/Programs/AML/AML/
bhhaskin··on Abandoned mines cover the West
It is a very good thing abandoned mines are closed. They are deadly and you should never go into one.
bhhaskin··on Let your mower sing Happy Birthday for your loved ones
I agree with you. My insurance agent sends me a birthday card, but it's a service they pay for and they likely don't even know it's happening. It's the opposite of a personal touch.
bhhaskin··on FTC: Vast Surveillance of Users by Social Media and Video Streaming Companies
If your identity gets stolen, you should be able to sue all the companies that had a leak.
