bitxbit··on Actionsflow – IFTTT/Zapier free alternative based on GitHub Actions
I don’t understand your consistent personal attack here. Do I really need to explain why I would never use those services for production? They’re not reliable and you don’t have control over them. Building an entire business on top of these services come with significant risks.
bitxbit··on Actionsflow – IFTTT/Zapier free alternative based on GitHub Actions
Interesting. I personally would never use those services for production/work. And even for personal it’s iffy at best. I wasn’t aware they had so many users.
bitxbit··on Actionsflow – IFTTT/Zapier free alternative based on GitHub Actions
Am I the only who thinks Zapier and IFTTT are useless? The only one that comes close to delivering on utility is autocode.
bitxbit··on Google's Sundar Pichai says future of office is employee 'on-sites'
Totally agree. I imagine work politics will take over and people will be more or less forced to come back into office. To be fair, I think it’s a big part of work culture that will be very hard to formulate in virtual settings.
bitxbit··on Mark in the Middle
Sure, “kind of like” how the Nazi Party usurped Germany a hundred years ago. Why don’t you have a civil discourse with people who believe in slavery? Give me a break.
bitxbit··on Mark in the Middle
There’s no discussion to be had when you’re FOR equality and the other side is arguing against it. There’s equality and fairness. The rest is garbage. There’s no need to meet in between and compromise. If you compromise with shtty ideas you are gonna get sht on your shirt.
bitxbit··on The N95 mask shortage America can't seem to fix
It’s been seven months. This is absolutely ridiculous and has everything to do with the lack of leadership and willful negligence of US gov’t.
bitxbit··on How the oil industry made us doubt climate change
I know there’s a lot of hate for big oil but the battery industry is not run by saints.
bitxbit··on Nikola’s founder steps down from board as company faces fraud allegations
To be honest, SEC has not been doing its job for the past four years since this admin took control.
bitxbit··on Trevor Milton Out of Nikola Motors
Disagree. This is yet another sign that there’s enough shenanigans happening in the market. If something this blatant can happen in the wide open imagine what other companies are hiding in the dark.
bitxbit··on Trevor Milton Out of Nikola Motors
This so much. He did it out in the open and admitted repeatedly that everything is outsourced. I mean anyone with a million or two can put together a hydrogen fuel cell truck that “runs”. No science/engineering background or even passing interest in learning the tech he sells.
bitxbit··on Trevor Milton Out of Nikola Motors
What a scam. I wonder what this does to market confidence. Yet another sign that we are getting really close to a crash.
bitxbit··on Ask HN: What is it like to be old? What advice would you give to younger people?
Taking an hour-long walk during lunch is the best thing I ever did for my health and work productivity.
bitxbit··on Facebook Accused of Watching Instagram Users Through Cameras
But said company has practically unlimited resources and actually touts privacy and security in ads.
bitxbit··on Facebook Accused of Watching Instagram Users Through Cameras
Ok so we are going for the least common denominator based on your mother. Makes zero sense.
bitxbit··on Array Programming with NumPy
I am really sorry but most “science” coming out of even the top institutions these days are sadly uninspired garbage regurgitations.
bitxbit··on Array Programming with NumPy
This so much. I cannot stress enough what an impact various python developments have had on the economy as a whole. Sometimes the right tools can inspire people and that’s exactly what happened.
bitxbit··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
That gave me a chuckle. I take it you work in finance and a subtle form of front running is literally what bulge bracket trading desks do day in day out.
bitxbit··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
This should be illegal and they should get sued by the US govt.
bitxbit··on Changes to Fusion 360 for Personal Use
I take it you work for free all the time.
bitxbit··on Changes to Fusion 360 for Personal Use
Am I the only one who thought Autodesk was very generous with Fusion 360 for years? It was basically the best software for hobbyist and it was offered for FREE.
bitxbit··on Jamstack Handbook – All things Jamstack with 3 step-by-step tutorials
Agreed. As much as I would hate it as someone who utilizes their services, Netlify should look for an exit. AWS is probably the best bet. Between services such as Github Pages, Vercel, and Firebase there’s a lot of competition.
bitxbit··on Jamstack Handbook – All things Jamstack with 3 step-by-step tutorials
I guess there’s some use case for Jamstack static generators but unless you do frequent builds just building vanilla HTML is my preference.
bitxbit··on Facebook staffer sends 'blood on my hands' memo
To be fair, how many people can say otherwise? That you’re working for something more than money? Creatives? And people with “fk you” money? It’s ridiculously hard to go against the establishments and most people fail doing so.
bitxbit··on Apple Fitness+
I think Apple ran out of ideas guys.
bitxbit··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B
They need to block this deal. A real clean case.
bitxbit··on Data science interview questions with answers
Years back someone asked me an interview question to explain sd and confidence intervals. I just gave the wrong answers and left. Especially in nascent fields such as ML and DS, it’s very important to work with people who actually know what they are doing. Otherwise you will have wasted years of your precious twenties doing absolutely nothing productive.
bitxbit··on Nikola Denies 'Fraud' Allegations, Threatens Legal Action Against Short-Sellers
Nikola isn’t really an innovator in my view. They take what’s out in the market and assemble them which is not really that practical when it comes to manufacturing vehicles. This is like me saying I have an automobile company for nuclear powered trucks. And they should be valued as such.

There are a lot of electric car manufacturers putting in real work such as Bollinger Motors.

bitxbit··on From Rust to TypeScript
I think it’s best to stay language agnostic especially in 2020. I try to think data-in data-out and use the best tools available for clean execution.
bitxbit··on What's wrong with social science and how to fix it
I mean they couldn’t just do it in Matlab? or Python? So incredibly lazy.
