haliskerbas··on Removing Jeff Bezos from my bed
I feel like websites like https://www.tindie.com could definitely fill that gap. It's like an Etsy + Hackaday where people sell different levels of hardware etc.
haliskerbas··on Johnny.Decimal – A system to organise your life
I’m like you and I’ve slowly started to embrace it. Sometimes that means three laundry baskets. One for clean one for dirty and one for wear again. And then iterating on top of that!
haliskerbas··on Meta announces LlamaCon, its first generative AI dev conference on April 29
let's not be afraid to bring masculinity to work

up next: farting on the earnings call "here's what I think of your question Chadwick at Vanguard..."

haliskerbas··on Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes
I just shared this with folks, it looks incredible! I’m giving it a try myself too.

By the way, I was trying to use a bunch of one-liner SQL statements to explore the data, and it seems like the editor doesn’t handle comments very well. Is there a way to make it work better?

haliskerbas··on 1% Equity for Founding Engineers Is BS
It's to gaslight you into thinking the nineteenth shitty enterprise SaaS for ultra-niche market is going to make you a billionaire. In reality, you're just cheap labor for lining the pockets of the VCs who will sell off their shares to the next sucker at the first chance they get.

My dumb American brain is surprised these things are allowed. :shrug:
haliskerbas··on Majority of US teens have lost trust in Big Tech
Yeah, I had to spend a bit of time inside to understand the process. I hope everyone knows about it now.
haliskerbas··on Nvidia’s $589B DeepSeek rout
What do the others train on?
haliskerbas··on Nvidia’s $589B DeepSeek rout
But every successful SV founder and or VC is not only a tech genius but also a geopolitical and socioeconomic expert! That’s why they make war companies, cozy up to politicians, and talk about how woke is ruining the world. /s
haliskerbas··on Openhaystack: Build 'AirTags' – track Bluetooth devices via Apple's network
Haven’t done the research but I wonder if you can use this to piggyback with tiny arbitrary data data payloads.
haliskerbas··on Arsenal FC AI Research Engineer job posting
Aren’t they both owned by pompous rich dudes and private equity, like most companies? Tasty is the boot we enjoy licking.
haliskerbas··on US will ban cancer-linked Red Dye No. 3 in cereal and other foods
in the US, priority #1 is fiduciary duty to shareholders. if customers are buying, and we make it more expensive to make, then shareholders will be mad!
haliskerbas··on Meta announces 5% cuts in preparation for 'intense year'
Indeed, the objective from your manager is to launch X feature (as designed by the design and product teams and in collaboration with three other teams) and achieve Y% usage within the quarter of Z.

However, if the company’s priorities change, significant on-call issues arise, the design team experiences a layoff, the front-end team undergoes an exodus, and the product team abandons the project, you will not meet your objective. Any one of these, or more could happen.

Consequently, you will be considered a low performer. You could have kept the ship afloat, kept the trains running on time, and deployed your part of the project on time and under budget, but still be a low performer on paper.

haliskerbas··on Cognitive load is what matters
This puts things really well. I’ll add into it that between the first white boarding session and the first working MVP there’ll be plenty of stakeholders who change their mind, find new info, or ask for updates that may break the original plan
haliskerbas··on Query Apple's FindMy network with Python
Always on, works as a great way to check in on close friends or have them check in on you (like someone going on a first date)
haliskerbas··on FTC bans hidden junk fees in hotel, event ticket prices
The woke ideology wants to add all of this nonsense regulation and make it hard for real entrepreneurs to generate value in the wonderful system of capitalism. /s

P.S. this is also a good summary of every all in podcast episode post election

haliskerbas··on Show HN: High School Student's First App – NWS Weather Report
Congrats on the launch and slick website! Not sure what has gotten everyone's undies in a knot this morning but keep up the passion for creating things. I wish I continued to build things but I feel like the older one gets the more doubt that sets in. Let's all strive to have constructive feedback and work on our passions!
haliskerbas··on Your docs are your infrastructure
No one gets promoted for good documentation. It just has to be good enough for the promo panel to skim through and be impressed, lots of nice large percent results too. But not good enough for a system to be maintained, or an on-call to work on, or someone new to contribute to.
haliskerbas··on Starlink Direct to Cell
Kind of yes. I mean Trumps Supreme Court changes the rules because they interpreted something differently. So any political or government agency is all vibes based to me. Anything other interpretation is rose tinted.
haliskerbas··on Volunteer DEF CON hackers dive into America's leaky water infrastructure
Part of looking for solutions requires root cause analysis. Which can be "blameless" but there is at some point a need to figure out where the holes are in a system to be able to patch them. Otherwise people will never know if they're paying for a problem to occur (taxes) and then paying to help fix them too (donations + volunteering)!
haliskerbas··on How to give a senior leader feedback without getting fired
25% of my manager and above in big tech have acted in the ideal way you describe, and the rest have been back stabbing, childish, two faced, toxic, and many other negative traits, making any open honest or direct communication impossible
haliskerbas··on I tried every top email marketing tool
Similarly where do you feel like Elon, another entrepreneur should focus, Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, the AI thing, being a bully on X?

Should we police the bandwidth of every founder?

haliskerbas··on Caring for yourself while caring for others
Same here, I'm quite a bit younger but my living situation and finances are also determined by taking care of my elderly parents. It's a lot different culturally than my surrounding peers who either don't have parents as old or don't bother to care for them in the same way.

It changes who I can spend time with and what I can do, and required me to grow up a lot faster than it seems like those around me. I didn't have the same amount inviting random people over, hosting house parties, or going out for drinks the same way, which I sometimes wish I got to do more of. But we play the cards we are dealt and try to do the most right for ourselves and the people around us I guess!

haliskerbas··on OpenAI builds first chip with Broadcom and TSMC, scales back foundry ambition
Only a few thousand days away. /s
haliskerbas··on Scheduled Splunk On-Call Database Maintenance
I’m surprised
haliskerbas··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
Isn’t this a forum of hackers caring about the news? Everyone seems excited here and that excitement naturally leads into curiosity for many who identify as hackers.
haliskerbas··on How long til we're all on Ozempic?
As with everything I'm sure there is a spectrum. There are surely folks who have food addictions, there are surely folks who are not taking accountability for their habits, and there are possibly folks for whom this could be the best or safest option.
