Hacker News Reader

I use GPT-4, it's like pairing up with a junior developer who read all the documentation.

I follow the same steps as always to design the code, but when it's time to implement something, I ask the bot to do it, then I review it and move on to the next function.

josemrbon Air carriers are still failing people with disabilities

I've built a few systems for low-cost airlines in South America. There shouldn't be a lot of difference with bigger airlines around the world.

The boarding software usually checks that:

  - The boarding pass is valid (checksum)
  - The flight state is correct e.g. 'boarding' and 'open'
  - The passenger did check-in
  - The passenger haven't boarded yet

More advanced implementations can match the gate with the flight, this is optional.

The beep usually is a response from the reader indicating that the code has been read successfully.

The result of the operation is displayed in a screen and the attendant has to read it and act accordingly.

josemrbon Why do so few humans kill themselves?

> what's weird is the fact that we do sometimes kill ourselves when things look completely hopeless.

The hope is always there, just change the purpose.

Instead of a life without suffering one expects to end the pain.

That is the final hope that the suicidal people embrace.

josemrbon Tails 2.4 is out

I think a better approach to a strong security and privacy would be to use Whonix[0] in Qubes[1].

It's not too hard[2].

josemrbon Phineas Fisher's account of how he took down HackingTeam

After reading the original doc, by the style used and some slang (although it could be on purpose), I would say the author is from Chile.

I'm glad to find people that still fight the system in this side of the world.

josemrbon Best Linux laptop for web development?

josemrbon UsingQR – “Electronic” paper invoices using JSON and QR codes

In Bolivia, starting this year, all the electronically printed invoices have to include an QR code that contains the necessary information for tax filling.

Having one of the worst tax system in the world I'm surprised that somebody had the idea to implement this mechanism.

josemrbon Bolivia leader's jet diverted 'amid Snowden suspicions'

That's speculation.

The pilot requested assistance and permission to land due to problems with fuel indicator. You can listen to the radio exchange in the link below.
