ejlxsh··on Jobs working with the Rust programming language. No crypto
Doesn’t work on Safari (iOS), scroll is broken so only see the top 6 or so jobs
ejlxsh··on First word discovered in unopened Herculaneum scroll by CS student
Not bad seeing as he solved this while working as an intern at SpaceX too!
ejlxsh··on Tesla is launching their developer APIs
I cannot wait for HackerOne or similar bug bounty sites to have a go with this

https://developer.tesla.com/docs/fleet-api#door_unlock

Oh my god, what a cool sounding endpoint https://developer.tesla.com/docs/fleet-api#set_bioweapon_mod...

Edit: This is coming up to EOL, Tesla has an SDK you should use now

ejlxsh··on Tesla is launching their developer APIs
Automotive software is a regulated space, there's no way the idea of these APIs is developers tinkering with their Tesla for fun (it allows remote execution!) but rather large businesses integrating their apps with Tesla, like Microsoft or OpenAI or something.
ejlxsh··on Microsoft completes $69B deal to buy Activision Blizzard
I do agree here, but also I think if a company is acquiring to give an even better service to their own users it's a good thing (as one of those users). I'm sure I read they've agreed to keep them cross-platform so it won't impact Playstation users (maybe a delay with new games being released on Playstation, like how FF16 isn't on Xbox yet) - but what I am really hoping for is the games simply become part of the Xbox Ultimate subscription.
ejlxsh··on Ask HN: How do you organize your life?
> I've being developing my own micro-cloud for the last ten years - There I've wrote my own email client, password manager, finance book, OTP, movies, music, notes, calendar, backup... and a lot of other micro apps

…

> My problem with org-mode, Obsidian, etc is that they are attention black holes, you focus all of your time installing plugins and configuring your workspace that by the time you're done with that you don't really feel like doing the real work

Seems so contradictory ha!

ejlxsh··on Microsoft completes $69B deal to buy Activision Blizzard
Chances are games will be added to the gamepass, meaning we get these for essentially free.
ejlxsh··on Why you shouldn't join Y Combinator
What are you doing to try hit that 500k target? Running a SaaS, consulting, etc?
ejlxsh··on Starlink Direct to Cell
iPhones often turn off around -20c with a warning about temperature, it happens to me every time I travel to Lapland in the Winter.
ejlxsh··on Numbered block parameters in Ruby
I can't imagine writing something like this while also serving in the Ukrainian Army as an active soldier. The 'Irks and Quirks' of Ruby would seem much less important to me in that position!
ejlxsh··on GHC 9.8.1
I am surprised just how much Cardano is responsible for the funding of GHC and what would happen if that stopped - 4 of those supporters are directly related to Cardano and a fifth is somewhere related. I don't know what GitHubs relation is with Haskell and wonder if that's some hosting/CI runners or something?
ejlxsh··on How Netflix uses Java
What's your CPU usage for Netflix? What device/OS are you using?
ejlxsh··on Do you make over 20k a month?
You don't have to be a YC member, but I'd go so far as saying HN is startup-hostile nowadays. Remember the indie hacker making $45k a month recently getting torn down for his work?
ejlxsh··on Lawmakers shift gears on TikTok ban
If you ban Facebook because the US government has too much of a reach, then you’re asking the party in control to block themselves
ejlxsh··on Lawmakers shift gears on TikTok ban
Can’t you ban an app based on purpose, “they’re using the app to spy on us”, and then case law applies it on an app by app basis?
