jsiaajdsdaa··on One Good Engineer Is Better Than Three Normal Ones
Are you saying that 5 interviews isn't enough of a signal?
jsiaajdsdaa··on Killbutmakeitlooklikeanaccident.sh
Oh believe me, you'll hear it either way!
jsiaajdsdaa··on Killbutmakeitlooklikeanaccident.sh
If an intruder breaks into your home, (seemingly easily) overpowers you, and begins doing horrible things to your wife and wife's son, would you still have such a negative opinion about guns?

>There are plenty of reasons why

And not a single one was provided, curious!

It does not make your weapon more lethal, it does not make your weapon cheaper, it does not increase the capacity of your weapon. Sounds like more copium to me.

jsiaajdsdaa··on JCOF: JSON-like Compact Object Format
But we dont say juh sahn for JSON? Hence why Jcough seemed intuitive.
jsiaajdsdaa··on JCOF: JSON-like Compact Object Format
Interesting, I wonder which type of English speakers would see that as their initial hunch for pronunciation.

J cough?

It's time to make that indie game in three.js actually
jsiaajdsdaa··on Manhattan rents cross $5k threshold for first time
Anyone who wants to live in NYC at this point is a masochist.

Tax, safety, cost of living, dirtiness, noise... left after 27 years to the Cascades. Never been better.

jsiaajdsdaa··on A prompt engineering guide for DALLE-2
Another interesting thing with prompt engineering is that attempt #1 with prompt x might yield something you don't want, but attempt n might yield something you do :)
jsiaajdsdaa··on Giving a shit as a service
I think I agree, you are saying that the people who devise the hazing leetcode interview process don't care about the actual day to day work at the company?

jsiaajdsdaa··on Talking about layoffs
>conservative 7.5% >$150,000 pre tax

Oh my god, the FIRE community makes me laugh so hard. Just 4 years ago people were talking about how they only needed 4% average yearly gains, $48,000 per year in income, and inflation would stay at 2%.

It turns out that you can't eat money, and that real things become scarcer every year.

5 years from now people will be laughing at your numbers for being low :)

Google also buys a ton of StorageTek.
jsiaajdsdaa··on Giving a shit as a service
My newest startup idea is to devise a continuous series of tests meant to gauge how much of a shit interview candidates and companies give a shit.

It is like leetcode meets tinder meets GaSaaS.

jsiaajdsdaa··on Talking about layoffs
I hop every year and my salary has only gone up. Done it 5 times now and nobody bats an eye

>become financially independent

with the way governments are behaving these days, no amount of money will guarantee financial independence

a cache of canned beans and bottled water, however...

jsiaajdsdaa··on Thoughts on the potato diet
>not according to THE SCIENCE

sorry, dont care

jsiaajdsdaa··on Thoughts on the potato diet
>this is bro science

sorry, I don't care

jsiaajdsdaa··on Thoughts on the potato diet
Satiety is a mental construct. I've been underweight, normal weight, and overweight in my life. What your brain tells you to put in your stomach is almost entirely divorced from nutritional requirements for thriving and surviving.

The only way to be exceptionally healthy and thin is to ignore the urge to overeat, and this urge is extremely dynamic on a per human basis. As a result, some people out there will eat a case of potatoes and still feel very hungry and unsatisfied.

Appreciate this info but my normal grill with tinfoil is sufficient!

jsiaajdsdaa··on Ask HN: What would you be if you weren't a programmer?
I probably would have been a chef, because I am good at cooking and don't really enjoy pursuing "real" careers like doctors or real estate agents.
jsiaajdsdaa··on Flânerie: The Art of Aimless Strolling
UNC Chapel Hill's campus is very well suited for this. I did it all the time without knowing the corresponding french vocabulary word for it :)

Many a great idea came to my head during such scrambles.

jsiaajdsdaa··on Brain.js: GPU Accelerated Neural Networks in JavaScript
Tangentially, I'm just curious, is it something that appears in your criminal background check that causes you to not receive offers? Or is it a lack of interviews due to gaps on a resume?

I am a firm believer that if someone demonstrates they have motivation and skill in a writing sample, they deserve an interview. If that person then passes a technical interview, they deserve a job. And if that person is friendly and does not commit any crimes while working, they deserve to keep that job.

jsiaajdsdaa··on DRY is an over-rated programming principle?
i'm a bit confused, do we need to know the nitty gritty details of how Math.random() is written, or that it will reliably give us a random double?
jsiaajdsdaa··on DRY is an over-rated programming principle?
if those 8 lines of regex have been unit tested and the function is commented to describe "what" the code does, it is entirely the point that you don't need to understand how it works

additionally, the function should be stateless and have no side effects ;)

jsiaajdsdaa··on Large Hadron Collider discovers three new exotic particles
Such a thing sounds disasterous. Was a private campaign organized for donations? I think you'd have a better chance convincing private citizens at this point than any government.
