iamricks··on U.S. Inflation Accelerates to 40-Year High
Thanks for this source, i believe in the last fed meeting JP said he expected us to be on track for 2% this year but i don’t see how that’s possible if we are already at .6 a month in, maybe it will drastically keep going down MoM for this year and average down to 2%?
iamricks··on Peloton – A call for action [pdf]
I got downvoted the other day for calling Peloton a Ponzi scheme, look at the "TROUBLING INSIDER SELLING AND PLEDGING" slides and the quotes like "We have built a team that I believe is ready to run a $500 billion company. Pick a number. A FAANG-style leadership team" that the CEO was making.
iamricks··on Get mock interviews now, pay when you find your next job
That's true, you can get unlucky with interviewers.

I find that for more problems you do need a trick. Once you memorize some of the main algorithms asked, usually the questions are a twist on common algorithms + some trick that is not obvious.

Sure you it can become easy if you "Practice" but everything gets easier the more you do it.

People who pass these either have have IQ or have grit, thats why companies use this to judge canidates, either you spent 500 hours on learning it or DS/A just sticks to your head like glue.

iamricks··on Intel Launches $1B Fund to Build a Foundry Innovation Ecosystem
Can anyone in the space explain why it would be hard for Intel to be competitive in the GPU space? Is GPU development so far away from CPU development that they couldn't succeed?
iamricks··on Thank You, Valve
Considering Valve is private, it's very impressive what Gaben has accomplished (and everyone who works there).

iamricks··on Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis

iamricks··on Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis
I don't understand why people are scared of "Alien Chemicals" in food but will take plenty of OTC medication. If we didn't trust anything made in labs people would still be dying at 30 years old.

Also, artificial sweeteners help people who have obesity problems, being obese will reduce your life expectancy by up to 15 years, drinking diet soda hasn't killed anyone.

iamricks··on Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis
You might be used to really sugary drinks, i was an obese child and once my nutritionist took away regular coke and juices from me i couldn't drink a sugary drink without feeling disgusted at how sweet it was and artificial sweeteners tasted a lot better.
iamricks··on Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis
There is nothing wrong with Aspartame, and no amount of diet soda will even come close to dangerous levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy
iamricks··on Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis
It is propaganda, read through this wiki[1] and see how far people have gone to create propaganda against it. It's one of the most researched ingredients by the FDA.

iamricks··on The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Renegotiation
Most of the posts on that subreddit seem like fake stories, there's no proof required to post. Most of the top posts every month sound almost the same, titles like "My boss said i couldn't leave" for click-bait with a screenshot of what sometimes just looks like a word doc.
iamricks··on Peloton insiders sold nearly $500M in stock before its big drop
Modern day ponzi scheme
iamricks··on Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
We use Dashlane at work and its probably the worst software i have ever used. I have no idea what they do with their funding but it doesn't seem like it gets spent in making the app function correctly.
iamricks··on Show HN: I'm 15 and building a live quiz app for classrooms: Quickz
Inspired me, my favorite private server was 2speced, tyler and bluur were to best to ever do it
iamricks··on Neural network from scratch
I was disappointed when i realized this isn’t Sentdex’s NNFS. He makes really good content.
iamricks··on Apple said to be preparing for iPhones without SIM card slot in 2022
Maybe to avoid sim swapping? Although i am not sure if there would be an alternative attack.
iamricks··on Heroku Is Currently Down
I am able to deploy now but i still cannot access the dashboard
iamricks··on Heroku Is Currently Down
What region are your apps hosted in? My apps are still up all on us-east-1
iamricks··on Heroku Is Currently Down
Weird, my apps are hosted on us-east but they are up, i just can't login to Heroku nor can i deploy to any app right now.
iamricks··on All Bitcoin private keys are on this website
If someone guessed your private key, mathematically, would you be the unluckiest person in the world?
iamricks··on Introduction to WebAssembly Components
I feel like Web Assembly is hard to understand if you don't have a background in systems programming.

Coming from web dev what are some good resources to get me to a point where i can better bridge the gap?

I just started learning Rust a few days ago (Doing adventofcode in Rust) but i don't really know what path to take to be able to build something useful with Web Assembly

iamricks··on Judge rejects Purdue Pharma's $4.5B opioid settlement
There are some laws that make it harder to sue doctors for malpractice, maybe this combined with the fact that they could get a bigger payout from the drug manufacturers.
iamricks··on A deep dive into an NSO zero-click iMessage exploit: Remote Code Execution
Reading breakdowns like this gives me imposter syndrome
iamricks··on Google is building a new augmented reality device and operating system
I have a friend who works at a company that uses HoloLens, their use case is so that mechanics working on planes can be remotely guided by a more experienced mechanic (not sure if they're engineers?) on what they have to do to repair the aircraft.
iamricks··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
lol imagine if azure was just AWS in the backend
iamricks··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
When us-east was down recently, our apps were not effected and we host on east. Maybe a similar issue?
iamricks··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
How much do you guys think these frequent outages will effect their market share in cloud products?

Is this enough of a push for organizations to actually move over their infrastructure to other providers?

iamricks··on GoDaddy Security Breach
We once had a domain stolen because somebody called GoDaddy and was able to get the 2FA code removed with a phone call and they had some leaked email credentials for the account.

We had to call GoDaddy and cancel the domain transfer, they would give us no information on how it happened.
