idontknowifican··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2025)
hn
idontknowifican··on In a first, Phoenix hits 100 straight days of 100-degree heat
the heat doesn't require you to go outside and do work, the mornings are also dramatically cooler. if they were to head out for a walk at 1700 it would be dangerous, but unlike shoveling snow it is optional
idontknowifican··on Turning psychiatric labels into identities
it always felt a bit more reactionary to me. a lot of people feel like they were unjustly treated, and the label helps them feel better about that stuff. normally i have seen an adult with a fresh diagnosis go really hard in to that identity, only to realize they over did it and land in a more neutral space.

as someone who has a bunch of adult friends getting autism or add/adhd diagnosed, there is an immediate phase of “all of my problems are caused by this”, followed by “how do i cope with this”, and finally “this is just helpful context for me”.

there are quite a few that get stuck on one of those phases, but largely most people loop back around to a more reasonable view.

idontknowifican··on Show HN: Use Go's HTML/template to write React-like code
yeah it is invalid html, and probably done for the ui only. now people are just copying it. would totally break if the button anchor was in a form
idontknowifican··on No One Knows What Universities Are For
welcome to hn and the latest tech bubble. why communicate in anything other than coded language
idontknowifican··on Identical twins both grew up with autism, but took different paths
a lot and a heart artery drip for 30 days are orders of magnitude different in quantity
idontknowifican··on Shutting down the letsblock.it project and its official instance
your points are all fair and valid, and i can see how mine was missed.

i am attempting to say:

the way you give feedback is highly correlated with it landing.

your “mean” feedback is not, it speaks to why and does not just dismiss the author or try to trivialize a number. it provides clear links to issues, not just attacking the intelligence of the poster. you make a series of great points, reinforced by others feelings and examples of real world issues.

this feedback can be turned into something useful, allows reflection, and does not attack the authors entire reason to be here.

the original dude literally says:

1. 800 users is shit 2. your app had no effect 3. you dont even know how to choose a goal

you must be able to see this difference?

is asshole a diagnosis?

idontknowifican··on Shutting down the letsblock.it project and its official instance
i can appreciate how hard you worked on this, it is an achievement in aggrandizing to provide this feedback.

i hope your friends and family truly appreciate the perfection of your worldview, and can move fully to your simple answers

idontknowifican··on Shutting down the letsblock.it project and its official instance
i love how he hides from being an asshole via calling his behavior “constructive ideas”. imagine being a child raised with this cognitive dissonance.

“if i do not think i am mean i can not be mean” is fundamentally the go to for bullies, this person included

idontknowifican··on Shutting down the letsblock.it project and its official instance
“constructive ideas” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here in ignoring your lack of empathy. i am always amazed by the people that provide “constructive ideas”, and then fail to take any “constructive ideas” from others.

you are failing in the same way as the original author by your own metric

idontknowifican··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
there is not a default band, you get both. quest pro is 700+ grams, so the AVP is lighter than its competitor
idontknowifican··on Show HN: Learn any language with an AI tutor at your own pace
i think what people memorize has been made optional, but that people still memorize a lot. sure not phone mumbers, but the amount of lore they can recite from some fandom seems to be of similar depth
idontknowifican··on UC Berkeley community condemns EECS professor's misogynistic discussion post
i think it plays into the whole “men are scared of smart women” trope
idontknowifican··on Super Micro Computer has gone from an obscure server maker to $60B market cap
fwiw:

my work is moving from supermicro to dell nodes due to the immaturity of the support (interface and personnel).

idontknowifican··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
i felt this way too. i did buy the AVP because of the 14 day return policy. i ended up using it four hours a day, which is all of my non meeting work time.
idontknowifican··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
isn't it 10 grams heavier than an oculus?
idontknowifican··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
i am going to reply earnestly here:

shareplay over facetime is wonderful. i have watched a few big movies with my buddies in this way

idontknowifican··on Learn to Read Korean in 15 Minutes
wasnt it created to do this on purpose?
idontknowifican··on Scientists Developed a Tool to Reveal Who's at Risk of Burnout, and It's Free
your comment is saying self diagnosis is impossible
idontknowifican··on FDA Approves First Medication to Treat Severe Frostbite
this is why PrEP has no double blind study. it was considered unethical
idontknowifican··on 28-ton, 1.2-megawatt tidal kite is now exporting power to the grid
erosion actually creates nests for various sea birds
idontknowifican··on Tracking developer build times to decide if the M3 MacBook is worth upgrading
i hate to say it but working offline is not really a thing at work anymore. it is no one thing, but a result of k8s by and large. i think a lot of places got compliant when you could just deploy a docker image, fuck how long that takes and how slow it is on mac
idontknowifican··on Bourbaki dangerous bend symbol
why the addition to clarify your use of fag?
idontknowifican··on Breakdown of faults by car brand: Tesla has replaced Dacia at the bottom
the ride is so numb. i am convinced it is on purpose frankly
idontknowifican··on Breakdown of faults by car brand: Tesla has replaced Dacia at the bottom
it is an interesting strategy here, does misdirection apply well outside if magic? does this work in actual conversation?
idontknowifican··on Breakdown of faults by car brand: Tesla has replaced Dacia at the bottom
tesla is a startup because it allows less strict oversight from the public. “startup” seems to now simply mean “burn cash until market dominance” or “regulations have mot caught up to our industry”. it is not an actual startup, just a court of public opinion one, allowing it to do shady shit under the guise of progress at any cost
idontknowifican··on Seven great but notoriously hard-to-finish books
you are on a message board the skews towards tech and intellectualism. you are not strange in this community, just most others
idontknowifican··on Tesla FSD Timeline
i think its a decent concept.

had musk not purchased tesla after the roadster was built, all of his claims would have been utter bull. now that there was an entry electric car he could spin any tale or justify any hype by pointing to the one functioning model.

from there it was absolutely the modern car manufacturers game, promise a concept, deliver some part of it, talk about next quarter.

frankly having level 4 self driving pulled of by mercedes in california first should be the ultimate proof. merc did it in house faster without hyping it. wild
