deniscepko2··on Trump wins presidency for second time
It works if your existing population is willing to do unskilled labour. Which in my country is not the case
deniscepko2··on How meta built the infrastructure for Threads
"informed the infrastructure teams to prepare for its launch with only two days’ advance notice. "

What a nice way to say we don't respect our engineers. They should hide in the woods with their planning skills and not post about it

deniscepko2··on Maybe getting rid of your QA team was bad
Yeah this hit home so hard. Had to leave the startup i loved working at, because started doing all this release fast crap. And somehow people think releasing fintech stuff fast and untested is fine.
deniscepko2··on Daily coffee habits may affect brain plasticity and learning
My personal experience im a daily drinker 2-3 cups, but can easily not drink for couple of days no problem. But i have high blood pressure my uneducated guess is that BP has a lot to do with how you handle non coffee days
deniscepko2··on Hard-to-swallow truths they won't tell you about software engineer job
Mostly agree, but i think the more seniority you get in your company the less you will deal with these issues and of course changing jobs helps. So basically you might encounter all of these but not necessarily.

And starting from scratch and college is basically the same point

deniscepko2··on Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
Same here argparse does everything a cli tool would ever need. Looked at click lib and actually don't even find it more readable
deniscepko2··on iPhone 15 Pro facts and estimates
Its interesting that the weight is such an issue. I have 13 pro it weighs a lot and i love it and the case actually adds some weight. Cant name all the reasons why i like it ( just a feeling i guess) but one reason is that i know for sure when the phone is in my pocket and i didnt forget it.
deniscepko2··on Never waste a midlife crisis
Anecdotal: but all of the psychology students i've met were far from being stable and had serious issues of their own. But its just my own experience and a stereotype i have now
deniscepko2··on Simulation of tsunami from dinosaur-killing asteroid that brought 2.5 mile waves
Can anyone explain how can it be 20 kilometers in depth and yet Mariana trench is the deepest place on earth 11km ?
deniscepko2··on Stop developing this technology
I don't really know it does sound super hard. But maybe if we consider that we go down the path where you do not own your tech (we are close to that now) and the companies have some monitoring tools to see what you are doing. And then you have this kind of network of trusted machines that you communicate with.

Edit: i really don't like the idea that i have to be paranoid about every interaction with tech.

deniscepko2··on Stop developing this technology
I wonder if some form of regulation is coming to tech. We do not allow people to spread heroin freely or slavery or some other sort of horrible stuff.
deniscepko2··on Quitting the rat race
Oh I can relate to this as well, but I think its not just being mentally tired. Me personally I want to get through the story, I do not have time to explore the world to get to the next chapter. And I feel a lot of games nowadays have this goal of rewarding exploration at least thats what I get from youtube reviews of the games. So like you for me eventually the game just becomes more work after work
deniscepko2··on New Sony Walkman music player
A lot of comments about the internet availability. Living in Northern Europe - never a problem. And as for lets say a flight, you can download spotify music. Audio quality i do agree that spotify kinda sucks
deniscepko2··on Ask HN: What tech utopia/horror ideas do you see materialising soon?
The personal social credit scores section i believe is already happening in China. I saw a DW documentary which was describing social scores in China.
deniscepko2··on Ask HN: What tech utopia/horror ideas do you see materialising soon?
Very interestin. I wonder if you can already have a startup based on this - providing some sort of auth. Not even sure how this kind of tech could be implemented
deniscepko2··on What happens when babies are left to cry it out?
Human infants were not left alone to go hunt for food, i believe the modern concept of family is at play here. People used to live with their parents so, much more help - much less crying.
deniscepko2··on Facebook's TikTok-like redesign marks sunset of social networking era
I have exactly the same feeling. I wonder if there is something like "Facebook 2008" ? It seems like LinkedIn is slowly taking that spot
deniscepko2··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
Following your logic sanctions are useless. I think this is ok because nothing will affect Putin. Russian people should eventually not reelect him or somehow remove this government. And for others I think its very reasonable to not do business with such an unpredictable/hostile country.
deniscepko2··on The reMarkable as a notebook and eBook reader
Seems like mostly people that are not satisfied with their remarkable are trying to do the extra features (ssh, book reading, etc.). for me i 99% use it to keep notes, sketching, read articles and its perfect. for the first time in my life i do actually read my notes
deniscepko2··on Hundreds of ancient Maya sites hidden under Mexico reveal a mysterious blueprint
well it kind of make sense due to the fact that people used to look up much more. i suggest you travel outside of light pollution and at night you will see what ancient people saw.
deniscepko2··on World on 'catastrophic' path to 2.7C warming, warns UN chief
Don't think EV is going to help much. On the individual level anything you would do is miniscule. The change has to come from politicians, so its all about voting.
deniscepko2··on The emergence of heat and humidity too severe for human tolerance (2020)
I wonder if going underground can help (being realistic that we are not going to make any drastic CO2 related changes)
deniscepko2··on ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
Wondering if anyone is using it for Music Sheet? Im tempted to buy it just wondering if its any good for this use case since this is what im using my current tablet for.
deniscepko2··on Göbekli Tepe
i dont know i think your thinking implies years of growing with the same theories, like getting to a point of building with square like objects i dont think its a given
deniscepko2··on Göbekli Tepe
i dont think Hancock states he is saying the truth, he just offers an explanation of his own to some unaswered questions.
deniscepko2··on Linux Kernel Teaching
I have looked at this one, it is useful if you do know about Linux internals already. It just introduces you to the development process (how to commit your code and etc.)
deniscepko2··on U.S. Identifies First Coronavirus Case Without Outbreak Ties
I kinda foresee this spreading in US the worst, people who work in low paid jobs like McDonalds (which requires lots of people contact) rarely take sick days there as far as i remember.
deniscepko2··on Why operators are useful (2019)
Do you have examples of real world code you had to write with BigInteger? just for amusements sake
deniscepko2··on Ask HN: Are books worth it?
There goodreads website for you to help. And for me its not easy i often start and stop reading books that i find eventually bad or not interesting. One good approach i think is reading old books which have massive amounts of reviews. I know if you think that tech books get outdated you will be surprised that much of the information is very relevant
deniscepko2··on The supply of fresh water is in trouble as mountain ice vanishes
But this is all limited by how people will coexist and if they will work towards the same goal, which rarely happens on a large scale Paris agreement for example
