innerspirit··on Ask HN: Does having a betting/gambling company in your CV hurt your career?
I worked for an online casino for a few months. Our first major meeting was a brainstorming session to take advantage of the gaming fad to get those kids into betting.
innerspirit··on Assange tried to use embassy as 'centre for spying', says Ecuador's Moreno
Didn't he just publish documents obtained by others (albeit illegally)?
innerspirit··on Cloud Code – A new set of plug-ins for IntelliJ and VS Code
It's annoying that pretty much every single Google project comes with an underlying attempt at vendor lock-in.

innerspirit··on Bookworm: A Simple, Focused eBook Reader
https://read.amazon.com/ works but it's only for Amazon books
innerspirit··on Humaaans: Mix-and-match illustrations of people with a design library
Interesting how I did not notice any issues with the library until I came to the comments and there were several mentions of implicit racism. There is some projection going on here.

Upon reviewing the site again, there are some lighter skin tones that I would identify with as a pale white man, if I really cared.

innerspirit··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
It's less safe than email + password. Someone can break into your email with email + password, or you can forget it logged in and they have your Notion automatically, so it has the same problems email + password have, plus some more.
innerspirit··on Yak Tack – remember words with spaced repetition
Cool tool, btw your post seems to have been killed instantly by HN's server, I vouched it but it might have been too late
innerspirit··on I don't trust Signal
The post is literally responding line by line to a post from 5 years ago. Very poorly thought out article.
innerspirit··on European Commission fines Google €4.34B in Android antitrust case
Some time ago ArsTechnica did a (very upsetting) article with an overview of all these antitrust practices. Glad to hear something was done about it.

innerspirit··on Google Cloud Global Loadbalancer Outage
From what I've seen, these were all down: Spotify, Twitch, Discord, Snapchat, Pivotal Tracker, Workana, Codementor
innerspirit··on Sony posts whole movie on YouTube in trailer's place
It would still take suspiciously long to upload/encode
innerspirit··on GitLab Isn’t Really Open-Source
Google took the same approach with Android, releasing non-OSS versions of their OSS apps, and not updating the OSS ones anymore.

innerspirit··on Ask HN: Anyone interested in justsaywebsite.com as an opensource?
I tried it out, very interesting. I've seen a lot of services like that, it would seem weird if none of them is self-hosted like yours.

innerspirit··on How terrible code gets written by sane people
Whoops, I think it was a bad CloudFlare setting. Should be working now, hopefully.
innerspirit··on GitLeaks – Search engine for exposed secrets on GitHub
Most of the data on there is not meant to be public. It's just a tool to abuse people's ignorance, disguised as a "research tool".
innerspirit··on 4 forgotten code constructs: time to revisit the past?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, other than some pedantic point about the title.

> Does anybody really not know that X was originally goto?

The original "goto considered harmful" paper was very much tongue-in-cheek.

innerspirit··on Brain training exercises might just make you better at brain training exercises
Good. Now perhaps make a study about sensationalized article titles like this one. The conclusion in the title is inaccurate.

FTA: "Overall, Simons and his colleagues conclude that the evidence [...] is “inadequate”."

and

"it’s possible future research will provide new evidence that is more favourable to brain training"

$100 equals 40 hours of work in a blue-collar job down here in Argentina. It's probably even worse elsewhere.

innerspirit··on GitHub has 11,995,200 open issues
http://up-for-grabs.net/ attempts to make contributing easier for new developers but it still falls flat IMO, there are few really bite-sized issues you can tackle and even those are going to require you to read a lot of project code and discussion to figure them out.
innerspirit··on The other kind of JavaScript fatigue
I believe sites like http://up-for-grabs.net/ and https://openhatch.org/ are the kind of communities that we need more of.

There is an attitude where people create projects to feed their egos, and giving help on existing projects doesn't seem to fulfil egos so much. Unfortunately, marketing your project is necessary, and for now the only idea I can give you is that we need to build tools to make that job easier.

innerspirit··on The other kind of JavaScript fatigue
Author here. Thanks for the input.

I think in some cases it can't be argued that a change is only going to be an improvement, such as in the case of npm lacking proper caching of packages until very recently.

In the case of package managers, there are a multitude of them and it's up to the user to figure out which ones have which features, and then go and learn how to use them. It can be time consuming, and I believe it's more important to improve this part of the user experience than to make it easier for people to share their own packages.

You really better have a high end PC if you're gonna spend $500 on a gadget for it, though.
