dkdbejwi383··on Show HN: A new kind of FPS aim trainer
Even with "reduce motion" enabled the background of this page is constantly animating - it's so distracting I just gave up.
dkdbejwi383··on Show HN: Intelligent Log Sanitization and logs to metrics
A log sink should be fast, light on resources and reliable. I'm not an AI skeptic but I can't imagine using AI to classify log data like this is going to meet those requirements.

Your readme states that caching helps here, but it doesn't describe how caching works. How effective is this for highly variable log data?

dkdbejwi383··on Job queues are deceptively tricky
Seems like OP has conflated the job queue and the job scheduler here.
dkdbejwi383··on The git history command
I could count the number of times I've written a detailed summary in the body of a commit message, and had it read by my colleague reviewing who then didn't need to leave a comment on the PR asking why I did _x_ on zero hands.

dkdbejwi383··on This blog is written in en-GB
As a non-American I don't know what "basic cable" is (or what the other tiers are), just that you don't have free-to-air TV
dkdbejwi383··on This blog is written in en-GB
> (IE; I never use the word "chip" to mean crisps or fries - I will instead use "Crisps", despite it being british, and fries, despite it being American; in order to avoid ambiguity.)

In Australia we don't care about ambiguity or clarity and refer to both the thin sliced cold things and freshly fried rectangular ones as "chips"

dkdbejwi383··on My favorite keyboards
I was using a standard/non-silent HHKB but found it a little too noisy for a quiet office. Plus I like using arrow keys and found I'd get a sore pinky with the HHKB layout.

I'm back to a cherry style board with silent tactile switches now but have half a mind to try and find a 75%ish layout with exploded arrow keys and with silent Topre switches.

Given how long staggered qwerty has been around (longer than computers have existed for) I wouldn't hold my breath
dkdbejwi383··on Ask HN: How much coding should beginners learn in the AI era?
Mathematicians don’t skip past the basics and jump straight into differential equations just because we have calculators, nor do chefs eschew knife skills because we have food processors.
dkdbejwi383··on PR spam today looks like email spam in the early 2000s
Open source contributions being a great way to learn and to pad out your CV has been considered good advice on all sides of the various seas I’ve lived throughout my career too - it’s not just a dubious code camp thing.

This is just the trope of the "wise and mystical oriental"
dkdbejwi383··on How Madrid built its metro cheaply (2024)
Surely you'd be _more_ secure near a station as there are more "eyes on the street" near an activity hub than tucked away in an isolated suburban node
dkdbejwi383··on How Madrid built its metro cheaply (2024)
In addition to the other good reasons also raised, PT has much more optimal land-use than private cars. Train stations or metro stations take up relatively little land and can be integrated with business and services or have nice public plazas and small parks. Compared with multi-lane highways, parking lots, giant intersections that are hostile to pedestrians and active transport.
dkdbejwi383··on Software is made between commits
What route is that, and why is everyone screaming at them, for someone out of the loop?
dkdbejwi383··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
This is how it works in Australia, which means it's a pain for tourists as you need to provide a passport for ID and get it activated, as opposed to just grabbing one at an airport kiosk and being ready to go on your way to the taxi or train like most other places.
dkdbejwi383··on Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers
At first I thought "medior" was a strange typo for "senior", but on seeing it twice I had to check - apparently it's used in some parts of Europe to mean "mid-level"

dkdbejwi383··on Show HN: Background Be Gone – Free App and CLI for Bg Removal on Mac
You can already right click > Quick Actions > Remove Background. I'm sure this is Automate-able to a whole directory or batch, too. So why need a 3rd party tool?
dkdbejwi383··on Is Python Becoming Pinyin?
> Also wtf is Pinyin?

From the article:

> Many people don’t realize this, but children in China first learn Latin characters, which they use to spell out Chinese phonetically, using a system called “pinyin.” They then use their knowledge of Latin characters to learn Chinese characters, whose pronunciation isn’t obvious from the characters themselves.

AI takes everything at face-value and cannot understand obvious jokes.
dkdbejwi383··on The secrets of the Shinkansen
Transport for London (TfL) have a fledgling property development arm called Places for London which aims to try and replicate some of the successes of Japanese railway companies. They propose the mooted Bakerloo line extension is partially subsidised by over-station developments.
