cvak··on Show HN: GPT-4-powered web searches for developers
They exist, but because they don't care about SEO, you can't find them in google.
cvak··on Altstore: Home for apps that push the boundaries of iOS
For me - KODI , I hate that I have to use files app, and VLC to watch my videos from dropbox, and other sources.

And any form of torrent client.

cvak··on Altstore: Home for apps that push the boundaries of iOS
iPads definitely has enough CPU power for ARM macos, limiting factor is the RAM.
cvak··on Nearly 40% of software engineers will only work remotely
> Employees working multiple jobs

I got at least 2 colleagues that were working multiple jobs from the office, of course it wasn't 4 hours straight, but committing fixes to their 2nd job/ mini-startup they started was extremely common.

As someone who has mild problem with kindey stones since 15y old, any lager works.

cvak··on Investors conclude that Tesla is a carmaker, not a tech firm
I think it's range per $, and I think tesla just about started loosing there last year.
cvak··on Tesla FSD data is getting worse, according to beta tester self-reports
They have several tiers of it I believe, the best one also offers automatic lane change, like BMW, it was actually working perfectly fine for me, with no back and forth bouncing - it had the annoying <steer a bit or I don't think you are holding the steering wheel> feature (Karoq 2018) - but newer models I think also have capacitive steering wheel, so you can only touch it.
cvak··on Tesla FSD data is getting worse, according to beta tester self-reports
I tried VW(+Skoda), BMW, and Stelantis(Citroen/DS/Peugeot models) "Autosteer" in past year(changing comanies, waiting for new company car to be build while having Hertz rentals), plus I had autosteer with adaptive CC in Skoda from 2018.

It got a lot better over the 2018 thing, that tried to crash itself on several roadworks, I actually almost scratch the car in first 100km I had it because of it.

My latest BMW works perfectly fine in German roadworks with bright yellow lanes, Also all the stelantis cars I've driven (all 2020+ models) worked fine in that conditions.

Camera system has problems when there's fog, or direct sun in precise angles. Radar has problems where there's lot of rain, and rainsplash from trucks, or snowy conditions, and the front radar gets frozen.

But it's awesome as assistive system.

cvak··on Mercedes locks faster acceleration behind a $1,200 annual paywall
Warranty explicitly forbids racing and putting extra wear, also it doesn’t cover normal wear of parts anyway, warranty won’t change your breaks if you wear them out.
cvak··on Mercedes locks faster acceleration behind a $1,200 annual paywall
So you should be paying for having the option to wear your car? What?

I actually checked 3d maps recently, and Apple maps are just soo much better, it's actually very awesome. https://imgur.com/a/Dm0jvUJ - comparison how much cleaner the building are - I think maybe they have some data?
cvak··on Robot Framework: generic open source automation framework
I suspected LSP would be awesome for it, but nothing existed like 3 years ago - kudos to you sir, I think it would make the experience 10x better.
cvak··on Robot Framework: generic open source automation framework
Yeah this is my experience as well, I understand the appeal, hell I was even the one to frontrun/poc it 6 years ago. But in the end it's just worse dev experience, no sane Keywords autocomplete/lookup in any IDE out there(by that time).

In the end you end up programming inside english like DSL with weird quirks, that's somewhere connected to python, with different variable syntax, and not really good debugging.

I guess everyone has to pass through that stage at least once, but I will never go back to it.

Not saying Company should not pay that, but it's not $100

cvak··on EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of private communications
Yeah exactly! But at least like this, you just have one certificate, and not 5.
cvak··on EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of private communications
nothing, it was in countries jurisdiction, actually people were calling for more central response from EU, but they didn't have any means/rights.

Only thing EU did afaik, was EU covid certificates, which I'm eternally grateful for.

cvak··on Preview, the Mac app people forget about
I love preview, but it has bugged comments/annotations in PDFs, which cost my like 1h of work last week, so, yeah, don't use it for that.
cvak··on Tesla fired an employee after he posted driverless tech reviews on YouTube
yeah, recently toyota: https://www.thedrive.com/news/43329/toyota-made-its-key-fob-...

Merc: https://www.thedrive.com/tech/41678/full-rear-wheel-steering...

but yeah, almost all carmakers make remote functionality a subscription. Usually with first 3-4y free of charge.

cvak··on EU to mandate public salary information for all job postings [pdf]
No, they are lower, and on top of that, they are taxed more.
cvak··on Booking.com is moving its customer service staff to an outsourcing company
Yeah, I used similar site to booking.com last week, and asked the hotel if they can price match (they had best price guarantee on their site), and they straight face told me they can't ... baffling
cvak··on Ask HN: Why the obsession with note taking?
I'm on the same boat, I managed to work with GTD method on trello for a bit, but I gave up.

Thing is, after all these years, I actually think I don't need to take notes, that's why my mind doesn't feel like it's worth it in the end to organize everything into notes, when I rarely forgot about something.

I just use one physical calendar at home, and flags in outlook at work, and I'm fine.

cvak··on Ask HN: Have you ever been “poached” internally? Is this even a thing?
Most recently 5 months ago, before that 24 months ago. I'd say in large corps it's one of the better, and faster way of moving up in org chart.
cvak··on Lawsuit aiming to break up Facebook group Meta can go ahead, US court rules
Or exchange + office + teams + skype + windows + onedrive + github....
cvak··on Pixel prevented me from calling 911
Just a small snarky comment, funny you were done with your LG phone, and bought another LG phone :).

I actually enjoyed nexus 5, nice form factor, awesome weight.

cvak··on Stripe hiring issues make some lose job offers
I initially thought like this as well, but after second thought I'd like if all large corps did this. It eliminates "Bro-Hires", and sets certain standard for all employees.

Of course it doesn't make any sense for small companies.

cvak··on Lazygit: A simple terminal UI for Git commands
there's also this: https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim
