june_twenty··on Sync will shut down on June 30
Not only adverts - animated adverts. They are serving data from a free API and looking to piggy back off it. Not only is my assessment not "poor", it is too kind to the developers.
june_twenty··on Sync will shut down on June 30
Sync had an awesome redesign of their app recently but ruined it by embedding ads into it. Some of the ads are even animated when reading the comments. As a result, I don't feel bad for the developer of Sync - they had it coming really.
june_twenty··on Ask HN: Does Anyone Like GraphQL?
I have never used it on a large project. I have never liked it for anything I have tried to use it for.
june_twenty··on React is 10 years old
Hardly a wild take though, is it? You're in the context of "I am mostly self-taught (and not even the best 'student' in that context, haha) so I'm sure I just lack the overall knowledge base/big-picture understanding" and you come in and say view = func(state).

Here's how the React docs introduce it:

"React is a JavaScript library for rendering user interfaces (UI). UI is built from small units like buttons, text, and images. React lets you combine them into reusable, nestable components."

Hopefully you can appreciate the difference.

june_twenty··on I'm Not a Passionate Developer
Based on planning sessions I've been in - yes. There's lots that will just passively sit there until called upon.
june_twenty··on Ask HN: How come YC startups offering <80k$/year?
I would move to the USA if I could. As a European is that possible - e.g. don't you need a green card?
june_twenty··on I'm Not a Passionate Developer
I am inherently passionate about the things I do. That doesn't mean doing over time. It means that when we're in a planning meeting I am contributing and trying to get the best outcome. When I write code, I clarify requirements and I write the code to a high standard following recommended practices. I do static analysis on the code and fix it. I test it before it goes to QA.

Not for a promotion but because that is why I am there. Anything less would be mind numbingly boring.

Embrace it for awhile and it really is special.

You've a function that returns JSX which is your HTML where you can use Javascript to reference functions/variables (e.g. the state variables)

One of the key parts is that you can break it all down into different files/functions that return jsx so you can isolate complicated parts

june_twenty··on React is 10 years old
happens to lots of stuff and is not react specific

I think that view = func(state) is an unnecessary complicated way to describe frontend development.
june_twenty··on Ask HN: Are you getting GPT-Fatigue?
I saw a course on GPT yesterday lol it has already started
june_twenty··on A good day with Jeff Bezos
My favorite part of this story is that someone like Steve Yegge didn't contribute much to the conversation.
june_twenty··on Tell HN: It's 2023 and you still can't import .ics files into iOS Calendar app
What is DHCPv6?
june_twenty··on Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment
This will be terrible for introverts, minorities, people who don't like to be on video but great for attractive people, people who like to make videos, fakers

Also, the name is creepy, to me, for the following reasons:

* using the word date in a professional setting

* comparisons to tinder

* the candy part seems falsely alluring

* the candy part makes me think "don't take candy from strangers"

june_twenty··on Show HN: Tripoffice AI discovered 200k hotel rooms with a dedicated workspace
Is this an actual company? with staff?
june_twenty··on Ask HN: You're planning a vacation to somewhere, what's your process?
time is precious and better planned. you can always go off plan.. but you can't really go on plan when you're already there
june_twenty··on Why I Left Rust
Let's take a step back for a moment. All of these people involved are working on the language that would/might be one of the big languages in the future. It doesn't fill me with hope.
june_twenty··on OpenAI CEO's threat to quit EU draws lawmaker backlash
I don't care how they scale it. They obviously have versions of the model and can go back to a previous version.
june_twenty··on Killer whales wreck boat in latest attack off Spain
'internet memes' as we know them today were not around in the 80s or 90s
june_twenty··on OpenAI CEO's threat to quit EU draws lawmaker backlash
OpenAI could roll back to a previous version of their model.

Anyway, I'm not sure if you intended that as a reply to me because it's not relevant.

june_twenty··on OpenAI CEO's threat to quit EU draws lawmaker backlash
Agreed. I hope there is competition so there's not just one person, alone.
june_twenty··on That people produce HTML with string templates is telling us something
There is no issue with producing HTML with string templates.
june_twenty··on OpenAI CEO's threat to quit EU draws lawmaker backlash
Altman seems inexperienced for this type of role. I guess he didn't really expect OpenAI to be the leader of the AI race.

Hopefully strong competition comes along soon.

june_twenty··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
Beer :)
june_twenty··on Ask HN: Why do so many assume we’re on the cusp of super-intelligent AI?
10 years ago we knew you needed a huge amount of data. These LLM are proof of that
june_twenty··on Ask HN: DIY baby cams/monitor(s) with privacy?
Pediatrician advice is still that babies should sleep on their own - without toys and other objects in the crib.

Of course it's an argument. Why would you apply the logic to a single specific practice and hand wave away everything else? Makes no sense.

june_twenty··on Have you successfully got friends, former coworkers, or loved ones a tech job?
I often daydream of building out a team with all the people I've worked with that were good. But to answer you question, no I've never gotten anyone a job in my place of work.
june_twenty··on Ask HN: DIY baby cams/monitor(s) with privacy?
I would assume most people buy a camera from a store and plug it in. Is there need for more security than strong passwords on the device and router?
june_twenty··on Ask HN: DIY baby cams/monitor(s) with privacy?
That goes against current guidelines on sleep for babies.. the risk of SIDS drops when the baby sleeps on their own rather than with their parents.

People existed for a long time without lots of things we have today. Should we stop using lots of stuff?

june_twenty··on Social media can be a ‘profound risk’ to youth, surgeon general warns
The internet has opened up the world so we don't just need to trust our local doctor, mayor, school principal, parish priest. That's a great and empowering thing.
