felipellrocha··on PackagingCon – A conference only for software package management
When will the schedule be determined?
felipellrocha··on Bram Moolenaar has died
Call it the Moolenaar Award, maybe?
felipellrocha··on Bram Moolenaar has died
:wq

:(

felipellrocha··on Why no Roman industrial revolution?
A ton. The Antonine plague comes to mind.
felipellrocha··on [dead]
Why is this even an article? People choose other funds all the time.
felipellrocha··on Tumblr’s core product strategy
Sure, but "Tumblr is not easy to use" doesn't really instill confidence. Tumblr used to be very easy to user. Perhaps one of the easiest websites out there in terms of usage.

The underlying problem is actually two fold:

1. They didn't understand their own customers need (which was, to be frank, share porn) 2. That they quite simply lost momentum

The first one is addressable. Just say you're going to allow porn again. The second one... Well, that's harder to address.

felipellrocha··on YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers
I think that everyone knows that, but no one knows how to solve that problem.
felipellrocha··on OBS merges WebRTC support
Man... I've been up all night, traveling all day, trying to adjust to the new timezone. Boy, I swear I read "sub-millisecond". Lol. Makes sense :) Thanks for the resource!
felipellrocha··on OBS merges WebRTC support
> Sub-Second Latency - Create content and interact with viewers instantly. There is something magical about having a real conversation with your viewers.

How is this possible?

felipellrocha··on Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone (2007)
You are missing the point... The Apple Vision also attempts to solve a problem: Create a computing interface that interacts with the real world.

Will it be successful? No one knows. Pretending that they do by either calling it a success or not a success this early is bound to be wrong.

felipellrocha··on Ask HN: Rust or C or C++ in 2023?
Rust
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: How come YC startups offering <80k$/year?
> I think americans need to really reflect on how inflated american dev salaries are.

This statement makes no sense. We have a much higher cost of living here than in Europe.

felipellrocha··on Rust: The wrong people are resigning
I don’t think the article is saying we should make everything into a question of race. Only that if Rust doesn’t reply, people will make up their mind, and people usually devolve to the lowest common denominator, which, in this case, is a race issue.
felipellrocha··on Blizzard developers say return-to-office policy 'cost us some amazing people'
Thank you. It feels like nowadays everyone assumes that remote work is a worker's right, when I couldn't think of a worst future for myself.
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: What projects did you build to get better as a programmer?
I found things that people told me were too difficult for a singular person to tackle and tackled those.
felipellrocha··on Documentation related to the implementation of SimCity 2000
I’m with you. I stopped participating in online discussions because of this very issue.
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?
Am employer, but only after covid- during covid i wanted to get back to the office as soon as i was vaccinated. The reason for that is that i missed my coworkers. I missed the spontaneous connections, the conversations, the hang outs. People are social beings, and being fully remote means a lesser emotional connection. I don’t like that.
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: Are ChatGPT answers getting worse for anyone else?
It sounds to me like the magic is quite simply fading. Tends to happen with fads. In addition, openai is selling the product and the product is being integrated in other products. I could see Google prioritizing getting a major license from openai, ai prioritizing making that happen and google working to integrate everything.
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: Do you hate software engineering but love programming?
I'm with you. I would also say refactoring, and rearchitecting can be fun. It's sprinting, and agile that really gets to me. I've considered moving away from the job.
felipellrocha··on Agile isn’t about speed, it’s about direction
> However, which process are you arguing for, in its stead?

You don't need to do any other process. You can just talk to people as problems arise and do that "in stead".

felipellrocha··on Revue will shut down and all data will be deleted
He probably looked at the codebase and decided it wasn’t worth it. Not saying that is a good decision, or a bad codebase. In fact, nowadays, I’d say the opposite. Lol
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: How does a hobby programmer get hired?
His red flag for bootcampers is a red flag for his managerial skills
felipellrocha··on Ask HN: Given AI advancements, is a master’s degree in CS worthless?
If anything, the value of your degree would increase? If things start to accelerate, someone would need to maintain these AIs, and you'd be in position to help them.
felipellrocha··on Nuclear physicist explains why fusion ignition is hailed as a major breakthrough
Some people think semantics is a good spend of time... These same people tend to amount to nothing, so I just ignore nowadays.
felipellrocha··on Nuclear physicist explains why fusion ignition is hailed as a major breakthrough
What are you talking about? They put in 2MJs of energy in, and got back 3.5MJs out?
felipellrocha··on John Carmack Leaves Meta
If i had nickel for every time i had been in a conversation where someone “proved they were right” even though they were nowhere near there, ok, i wouldn’t have millions but I’d have somewhere in the $50s which is a lot higher than you’d expect
felipellrocha··on Autopsy-based characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination
Same. The impact rate of myocarditis might be extremely small, but if it's caused by the vaccine, it should be investigated, while at the same time, people should get vaccinated. Luckily, the scientific community understands that. Unluckily, the non-scientific community doesn't on both ends. The supporters of the vaccine think you're attacking the vaccine. The detractors think you're suddenly supporting them. No. EVERYONE should be vaccinated. The vaccine has been given to billions, it is exceedingly safe. Can we do better? Yes. Is it marginal? Also yes, but I don't wish miocarditis on anyone.
felipellrocha··on PHP 8.2
Have you considered that these "detractors" might just be former users of the language themselves, who felt liberated once they tried something else, and want to help other people not feel stuck as well?
felipellrocha··on Is this the end of crypto?
i see what you did there
felipellrocha··on FTX’s balance sheet was bad
Just because that is a common feature of ponzi schemes, that alone doesn't make it a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme takes some sort of initial investment from new investors and gives that back to old investors in form of "return". Meaning, the system itself doesn't rely on any sort of growth in order to return, only the sign up of new people into the scheme, which is why they can seemingly deliver such reliable returns to early investors. Eventually you run out of new people to sign up, and the entire house of cards falls apart very quickly.
