high_byte··on Google Blocked My Site After My Post on Google Ads Monopolistic Dark Patterns
I can't help you there, but! I'm interested in reading more about such dark patterns so keep it up and if you or anyone else has more links on the topic that would be awesome. I wish to one day aggregate this information and pass it on. it is the only way to combat these dark patterns
high_byte··on Empirical Notes on Kissing
growing four hands you say. you don't happen to have her number by any chance, do you? asking for a friend...
high_byte··on Keep the web free, say no to Web3 (2021)
people forget that web3 doesn't cost money - it costs tokens! those tokens are minted "out of thin air"... you either produce some by contributing the network, or contribute the network by buying some. the "grass, gas or ass" of computing. no free meals, although some meals are bigger than others...
high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
I'm not aware of it. any examples/links?

this would be awesome unfortunately it does not work for me (Brave browser)

high_byte··on Ask HN: What’s is the most practical, non toy, programmable robot for under 10k?
up to 10k you could buy: 1. a 3d printer 2. a drone 3. a cnc machine & laser cutting machine 4. a 6 DOF toy/hobbyist robotic arm

and you would probably have some spare to invest.

all practical things question is what kind of things you looking for.

high_byte··on How to choose between two job offers in software Enginerring
based on what you described - the one you want more!
high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
AI to css hehe not a terrible idea. of course overkill compared to insert web builder here, but cool idea nonetheless.
high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
forever now I've been imagining a codebase as database, functions/expressions are entries and the IDE can query based on context, eg. filter by regex or other rules and filter differently when debug context available etc.

it should be transparent once you flatten the db to file(s) and run normally, but for IDE would need to be aware of this db structure. maybe a VS code extension might work!

that is the dream...

high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
many projects allow web reload, see python httpwatcher for example.
high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
I feel your pain. I love vs code but sometimes I miss classic visual studio. I know it still exists but vs code is awesome for better or worse. the problem is it aims to be the swiss knife of development environments, everything is extensible and sometimes it's overly complex rather than simplifying. they need to rework their extension store imo. not sure what but feel like unfulfilled potential.
high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
also perhaps note worthy: "instrumentation", which I guess is a part of it at least. very useful tool.
high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
also to add stackshare.io

and I'd love to see this for git repos. like "what-is" command that explains what is in a repo based on files structure and content, what modules and glues are involved. it's impossible to keep up with dependencies these days, especially for someone like me who doesn't code in the freshest stacks on the regular...

high_byte··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
visual debuggers and a node-based programmatic tools.

the former should be able to convert code to graphs and the latter should produce code from graphs.

see Luna programming language, or other nodes based systems especially in 3D/VFX like blender, houdini, nuke, etc.

for visual debugging I'd like to get graph explorers and instrumentation tools for asynchronous logging (but on debug level, rather than logging embedded in code) and visual cues for dataflow and events, etc.

I'd love to spare a little bit of time I have to experiment with such ideas if anyone is down.

high_byte··on 3D Manim Animation of CNN (Convolution)
it's cool.

but I really don't understand why RGB is the goto encoding, it's easy to get unwanted artifacts and longer training times. YCbCr is better imo, for some cases you can only use the Y channel for edge detection which is much faster and more compact. any ML engineers can shed some light on the topic? perhaps I'm missing something.

high_byte··on Ask HN: Is shifting to an Apple iPhone worth?
use brave browser and not apps?
high_byte··on Ask HN: Good nanotech companies/startups to invest to?
I have a small joke on this, but I don't see the point
high_byte··on Ask HN: Good nanotech companies/startups to invest to?
TSMC
high_byte··on Ask HN: Turn an Excel file directly into an API server
ifttt, zapier, etc. nocode/lowcode tools do this. will probably give you a rest api
high_byte··on Ask HN: What is the Ethereum VM's total computing power?
so multiply by amount of shards?
high_byte··on Show HN: Monolith – A stylish and functional computer frame
yea it's cool for anyone without cats. (and you guys worried about dust, I think it would actually accumulate less dust but idk)
high_byte··on Bionic Reading – Convert Text into Better Way to Read Faster
this is really cool. I wonder if it's possible to create a bionic font such that you could get system wide support, well for the most part.
high_byte··on Ask HN: Should I learn the tech behind crypto even if I don't want to own any?
and read the Ethereum yellow paper/beige paper.
high_byte··on Ask HN: 6-hour workdays more important than 4-day workweeks IMO
probably because you're making 5x what a web developer made 30 years ago.
high_byte··on Ask HN: Mental Health for Hackers?
does selling 0days make you focus on these issues more frequently? legitimately in the legal sense but perhaps it bothers you morally? that it's contributing the exact things that bother you, such as ransomware.

I did infosec for years and felt similarly, knowing infosec I avoided using social media and even cloud services and such. to the point it's beyond bothersome. finally I let go of infosec and went to do other things, but that's just me because I wanted to build something rather than break.

high_byte··on Ask HN: 6-hour workdays more important than 4-day workweeks IMO
Over here commute is part of work by law, so I assume it would count as 9 for most people?
high_byte··on Ask HN: 6-hour workdays more important than 4-day workweeks IMO
"part time" is still 9/10 hours in the office, usually for 3 or even 4 days and not 2 days.
high_byte··on Ask HN: 6-hour workdays more important than 4-day workweeks IMO
yes. people don't realize this, but IT'S OKAY to take a break... in my last office, besides dragging feet to get coffee it seemed people wouldn't even go stretch for 10 seconds. they even bought a brand new PS5 and NEVER even played for months and months (and it probably still accumulates dust over there...)

it seemed inhumane - and crazy nobody told them it wasn't okay or anything... I like getting some sun, let the blood flow, things like that. it's not only okay, it's highly recommended - even necessary.
