intricatedetail··on Ask HN: Getting tired of complexity in web development
From my experience the more exotic frameworks are often pushed at smaller companies by developers hoping they'll be hard to replace whereas big companies use what s most popular to ensure they can find replacements easily.
intricatedetail··on Intel can’t grow profits in a global chip shortage
I hate Apple, but every time I run something resource intensive on my laptop and it starts to sound like a plane going to take off I go to Apple.com and hover over Check out button. Once there is a reliable way to run Linux on M1/2 I'll switch.
intricatedetail··on How Putin’s Oligarchs Bought London
If money can't be explained it should be seized. The properties should be nationalised and then sold on auctions. Money should be used to rebuild Ukraine and legal assistance to get war criminals tried.
intricatedetail··on C++ Cheat Sheets
Probably semi related, but when I was looking at C/C++ job offers, why are they paid so little in comparison to Python or JavaScript? It seems like C/C++ is much more complex. I was mainly looking at embedded stuff vs Web. For example senior C++ role was paying £45k pa on average and over £60k for JS.
intricatedetail··on Russia Cannot Win The War
See no reason why Russia should not be forced to withdraw completely - leaving Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk. It's Ukraine time to retake their lands from the occupier.
intricatedetail··on Huawei MatePad Paper – eInk Tablet
They are committing genocide, run concentration camps and forced labour. They actively threat Taiwan. That's more than enough to justify avoiding them.
intricatedetail··on Huawei MatePad Paper – eInk Tablet
The last thing I want is CPC reading my notes. Unless device can be loaded with trusted OS and air gapped I wouldn't take it even if they paid me.
intricatedetail··on NanoVNA: Low-cost handheld 4GHz vector network analyzer
It's a shame there are not very many devices working in audio range (sub 100khz). You still have to scout eBay for a device from the 80s-90s and they are still expensive as hell.
intricatedetail··on Marijuana accelerates growth of HPV-related head and neck cancer (2020)
My bad, Thank you for pointing out. The press release should be corrected though.
intricatedetail··on Marijuana accelerates growth of HPV-related head and neck cancer (2020)
The N word is also commonly used, doesn't mean it's right. There should be no place for racism in academia. I am surprised this is up since 2020.
intricatedetail··on Marijuana accelerates growth of HPV-related head and neck cancer (2020)
How a study can be taken seriously if they use racism loaded slang name of a plant rather than its scientific name?
intricatedetail··on AMD Receives Approval for Acquisition of Xilinx
I hope they won't kill their CPLD line that has been obsoleted several times and then pushed back. It's a lifesaver for designing digital circuits if you don't want to use a ton of 74 chips.
intricatedetail··on I got pwned by my cloud costs
If you are not a VC backed corporation you must be insane to run anything on a "cloud". Why not rent a dedicated server from OVH or others where you can actually control costs and pay 10-100 times less?
intricatedetail··on No Place to Hide – U.K. campaign against end-to-encryption encryption
This smells of Nudge all over it. Government is using psyops against public interest for quite some time now.
intricatedetail··on I think I know why you can't hire engineers right now
10k raise is not worth adding extra anxiety - unless your current job pays so little it will make a difference. Engineers are severly underpaid that's why money seem irrelevant, because these sums are too small to be.
intricatedetail··on The Charles Mingus CAT-alog (1972)
Then a cat does "business" in whatever that triggers similar response as toilet e.g. your shoes, pots etc. It's also not fun cleaning the cat that fallen into toilet bowl (and all the splashings around).
intricatedetail··on James Webb is fully deployed
Wow this sound so patronising. I am sure there will be a moment when they say oh wish we had installed those cameras...
intricatedetail··on Toyota to remanufacture cars up to three times in UK
That's how some companies were going around RoHS. Buying old or damaged stock and rebuilding and selling as "new".
intricatedetail··on Toyota to remanufacture cars up to three times in UK
My friend company got estimate for crucial chips back in stock at spring 2027. They had to cancel many products.
intricatedetail··on Toyota to remanufacture cars up to three times in UK
They will care if they live in the 20mph zone.
intricatedetail··on Toyota to remanufacture cars up to three times in UK
This is I don't get. Why smaller mechanics can't work on these?
intricatedetail··on Cannabis poisoning in young children increased nine times after legalization
Poisoning? That's a bit bold. Can't take seriously a study with an agenda.
intricatedetail··on Ask HN: Why does Cloudflare/hCaptcha care so much about buses, boats and trains?
these platforms don't give access to personal data that they can use to aid training.
intricatedetail··on Ask HN: Why does Cloudflare/hCaptcha care so much about buses, boats and trains?
And metadata.
intricatedetail··on DuckDuckGo's daily search queries surpassed 100M, a 47% increase
The quality of Google results has dropped substantially in the last week (adding to already poor results). Today I literally couldn't find anything I looked for apart from getting spam and malware dens masqueraded as legitimate sites. DuckDuckGo got me all I needed. Google has become very much unusable...
intricatedetail··on Apple said to be preparing for iPhones without SIM card slot in 2022
Yet.
intricatedetail··on Regression with the C64
It still frustrates me that e.g. text editors can't get the basics like a latency between a key press and character appearing on the screen. My latest Ryzen can't compete with C64 in that regard.
intricatedetail··on Ubisoft deleted account with hundreds of dollars’ worth of games for inactivity
You don't buy a game but permission to play it...
intricatedetail··on Reverse-engineering a tiny 1980s chip that plays Christmas tunes
You really designed a chip at uni? I think mine uni was a rip off then.
intricatedetail··on “Autism is a spectrum” doesn’t mean what you think (2019)
Isn't what he says actually proving he is on the spectrum? The thought process sounds familiar.
