daemonhunter··on Notepad++ hijacked by state-sponsored actors
So what mitigations should the end user be doing? How do we know if anything compromised?
daemonhunter··on My Controversial Opinion: Ventura Is Apple’s Worst macOS Yet
wait so under ventura, im going to get prompted everytime i plug in my dock or usb to hdmi adapters for my monitos?
daemonhunter··on Ask HN: Is it just me or is 5G strictly worse than LTE?
Locally 3g was the most reliable. I think we're working backwards in accessibility of the network. It seemed just a few years ago, all we needed was a tower every so often, now we have towers and microcells. Is it a capacity issue or have we pushed into a spectrum that is more suited to dense cities rather than less dense towns?
daemonhunter··on Code Lifespan
It’s accurate. Q&D stuff seems to have long lifespans.
daemonhunter··on Buy hi-resolution satellite images of any place on earth
Custom mouse cursor, how 90s.
daemonhunter··on Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it
Post the salary, ditch the take home assignment. We're engineers, busy people, not students.
daemonhunter··on HackerRank (YC S11) DMCA'ed the SymPy Docs [fixed]
Insane. Common person has to own the burden.
daemonhunter··on SoftBank's Sale of Arm to Nvidia Collapses, Arm to IPO
ARM has been here before. I owned stock in Arm, before it sold.
daemonhunter··on We need to reclaim our attention
I feel my attention at work has gotten worse, the ability to focus has decreased. Sure, part of it is caused by my phone (gotta keep the music/background noise going oh and might as well glance at reddit) but ALOT of it is being a senior engineer.

It is my place to be asked questions throughout the day and I'd rather be asked questions than not. It takes me out of the zone and Sometimes it feels as though my mind is juggling 3+ tasks at once because of the questions I've been asked. I've learned through interaction with reality that some programmers need a bit more guidance when it comes to tasks, some will dig down the correct paths, some will dig down the incorrect paths, and some will just stop and wait for help (which is ok). I feel that at times I've done a poor job of guiding some people.

There have been days where I might actually start work on my individual tasks 5-6 hours into the day and staying late after everyone leaves is key to getting back in the zone and solving a problem.

daemonhunter··on Professional maintainers: a wake-up call
There are big discrepancies in the US alone. I'm comparing mine (L6+) to those.
daemonhunter··on Professional maintainers: a wake-up call
Side note: dang there are salary discrepancies in the SWE community.

Too much volcano!

Was going to comment a link to his video as well.

daemonhunter··on Roku tells customers it is unable to strike a deal with YouTube
Sigh. Stuck in between corporate squabbles again.
daemonhunter··on In software, when an engineer exits the team
When I first saw this I figured it was going to be about what it does to the team, that managers don't seem to get. I was told once, after losing half the team, that they didn't want to lose momentum.
daemonhunter··on Leaving the Apple ecosystem behind
My problem with macOS is that I bought a mac expecting free OS updates. However since my macbook is my desktop killer, I have multiple external monitors connected with USBC to HDMI adapters. Everything I have seen since Big Sur indicates external monitors are iffy in big sur. I'm sorry, I'm not wrecking my environment because apple hasnt seen fit to fix external monitors in over a year.
daemonhunter··on 90 Hours a Week and Loving It
Yep. My favorite was the standard rotation for employee of the quarter or whatever.
daemonhunter··on 90 Hours a Week and Loving It
Meanwhile company rakes it in.
daemonhunter··on 90 Hours a Week and Loving It
Water bottles, hats, shirts.

Team: "What are we accelerating to meet?" PM: "Just because, do I need to talk to your manager?" Team: ... PM: goes home at normal hours

daemonhunter··on 90 Hours a Week and Loving It
Milestones are treated as property lines.
daemonhunter··on Has Agile Become Addiction to Instant Gratification?
I just feel exhausted with scrum. Everything feels like yet another status report and "Why isn't it done yet?" I think we all may have bit into agile as process that revolutionized process because we have this natural tendency to value process and think that is getting us closer to if not the product.
daemonhunter··on As lockdowns lift, media firms brace for an “attention recession”
Looks like it’s all just in time for delta
daemonhunter··on Audacity may collect “Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation” and more
What was the last good version available for download? Gotta give the new fork developers time to get off the ground.
daemonhunter··on Roku says it may lose YouTube TV app after Google made anti-competitive demands
So this is for the YoutubeTV and not the Youtube app right?
daemonhunter··on Made my personal site into a desktop environment
I remember something similar to this back in the late 90s/early 2000s, cool modern version!
daemonhunter··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them
If they'd just fix the googlevideo CORS errors.
daemonhunter··on Why Does Windows Really Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Why the "Checking your browser" part? Seriously, its a wordpress blog.
daemonhunter··on A decade-long boom is ending as consumers hang on to devices for longer
When they cost as much as they do, is it really a surprise that a good portion of people don't want to replace them every other year? I would like to be one of the people replacing theirs every year or every other year and while I could afford it, I can't justify the expenditure. Add to that the fact that most phones purchased within the past couple of years remain performant enough for most people.
daemonhunter··on What's My Color IQ?
Perfect score and I am supposedly slightly colorblind in the blue/green range.
daemonhunter··on “The Orville” is on a smoother trajectory, with just a bit of turbulence
This seems to be one of the more negative opinions. Its in the top 4 or 5 Star Trek series IMO. Individually, in my book, some of the episodes rank with the best Science Fiction. Everyone will have their own opinion but here is what I think the best episodes have been so far.

ep 4 - "If the Stars Should Appear"

ep 5 - "Pria"

ep 10 - "Firestorm"

ep 11 - "New Dimensions"

daemonhunter··on Valve’s Gabe Newell: VR could “turn out to be a complete failure”
I find the more I look around the scene vs direction of travel the worse it gets. Have the same issue with Battlezone and Scavengers Odyssey. Driveclub and some of the others haven't caused it yet.
