humbfool2··on Do not trust the marketing IOPS on Consumer SSD
Thank you for the feedback. Of course I do want people to read. The whole point of posting this here or anywhere is so that if anyone, who is in the similar situation can jump to the TLDR or conclusion and fix it will save them some time. Not the entire article is A.I. generated A.I. articles are longer but ideas can be conveyed in different ways. I chose to convey in the way I felt best. The article went through multiple human reviews and in future if I decide to write an article brevity will be in my mind when writing longer articles. I do feel like the world now prefers short form content over long.

Author here - Just wanted to add this Disclaimer: AI was used extensively here, both to debug the cluster and to write this article.

I support responsible use of A.I I understand the discourse around Slop/Vibe code etc… Personally as long as the slop / vide code does the job securely, reliably and is maintainable does not matter if you hand write the code or use A.I. I prefer to use all the tooling available to me build things.

Many AI-generated cover letters share similarities, and once you recognize the pattern, you can tell whether they were produced by an AI or not

This is so Cool! A 99 cents Chip can do so many things. I am using it currently for Automatic Garden Monitoring system[1]. I never realized this small chip can do big things. Very Impressive.

This is true. I have found text not so "crisp" and readable on windows compared to MAC. I have an LG Ultrawide monitor and used both Mac and Windows with it, there is a difference in the sharpness.

I moved to Windows after 5 years of Mac this month. Because I knew I will be working from home, decided to build a good workstation (Thank you Ryzen ) and I Couldn't agree more WSL is very helpful for people who like windows UI and functionalities of Linux. There are few quirks but it works great.

humbfool2··on DigitalOcean raises $100M in debt as it scales toward revenue of $300M
I host my websites on DO. Their UI and API is really cool. Linode and Scaleway both lost my data. DO is far more reliable than Linode and scale way. It's always good to have options to choose from. I hope they succeed.

Companies like Netlify, Zeit and Heroku are also doing good but I don't see any Enterprise applications for such services.

One thing I especially like about DO is that they are not stagnant in terms of features. They continuously keep adding new features.

humbfool2··on Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?
I use Notion too. I have added Notion Webclipper extension to all my browsers on, to save link I have created lists based on category i.e study, tech, life, etc. While bookmarking I just add the link to the respective category. On Phone, Notion has this feature to share a link to the app to save the bookmark. Before this, I used Chrome Bookmark manager. A pocket is a good tool too but I am fed up with having an individual app for every use case(bookmarking, todo, calendar). Notion is one good service with all the features that I need as a student, but their Andriod UI suck. You can hit them up on twitter and request the feature to add tags.
humbfool2··on Who Was the Buddha?
Recently I read Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse quite an interesting book. In the book he tried to convey Knowledge is transferable, wisdom is not. Wisdom can only be gained from experience. The existence of buddha is debateable but literature has some good and relatable lessons we can learn.

It's better to have a leader who has an understanding of how things work rather than electing a leader who pretends to know everything and doesn't think global warming is real.

humbfool2··on The end of India’s ‘IT miracle’?
Let me be clear - “Not all Indian Developers are bad”. The reason why quality of engineers at Infy, wipro, tcs etc. is so bad is because of their recruitment process. They recruit engineers from various colleges like herd of sheeps and call it mass recruitment. Irrespective of the his specialisation (Mechanical, Electronics or Chemical etc.) Students practice code for a day and so go for interview and unfortunately many get recruited. Then there is one year of Training. After training these engineers get into software development. Imagine a student who never wrote a line of code in his entire life suddenly has become a developer. Indian college and companies need to change how they recruit students.
