kryptn··on Deploying Kubernetes with Ansible
I don't think you read the article. It's about deploying resources onto k8s with ansible, not deploying or maintaining k8s.
kryptn··on Microsoft mangles VS Code protected properties to prevent UI customization
the vscode team made a change to shorten private properties in the minified source code which saved ~1.8MB off of the binary size.

There are extensions that used some of these private properties to change the UI of the editor, as well as other things I'm sure, and now they won't work since the property names are mangled.

They probably didn't do this to intentionally break those extensions, but it was a side effect.

kryptn··on Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
Rust in vscode with rust-analyzer: Select the symbol, cmd+shift+p to get the command palette, type rename and select 'rename symbol'. Or right click and pick rename symbol.

You can undo/redo with cmd+z or cmd+shift+z.

replace cmd with ctrl on linux or windows.

kryptn··on Kubernetes Hardening Guidance [pdf]
You can probably use an Admission Controller with the ImagePolicyWebhook.

kryptn··on AirPods Suck in Video Conferences
I tried some AirPods Pros for a couple weeks. People consistently told me I sounded fine, but when on Zoom the audio would not sync up. One of them would be just slightly delayed from the other and I couldn't stand it, so I returned them.
kryptn··on PEP 505 – None-aware operators (2015)
I'm glad this was deferred because those replaced examples from the stdlib are difficult to read. I've used `or` coalescing plenty of times and definitely prefer it to a new operator.

That said, I really loved using null coalescing/propagation in C#, so I have to assume my bias is coming from wanting python to be more readable.

kryptn··on VCs squandered billions on scooter startups
Yeah I also live downtown. The scooters and bikes here seen to be always be used, either by people who just want to get from A to B or groups of people just enjoying their time downtown.

The scooter companies tend to be smart too and relocate a bunch for any events. I'll frequently see dozens of scooters and bikes lined up and organized outside of the arena before whatever event gets out.

kryptn··on James Webb first images – complete set of high resolution shots now live
I've seen this comparison floating around for the deep field.

kryptn··on Show HN: Colorvote.io – ranking all sRGB web colors by popularity
After a few votes the text hex code disappeared for me so I was only voting on the colors.
kryptn··on FTC Sues Walmart for Facilitating Money Transfer Fraud
Probably none, given this complaint is focused on money services Walmart provides.
kryptn··on Goodbye Zachtronics
I loved all of the puzzle Zachtronics games! They're great puzzle games on their own but some also have leaderboards which give you the feeling that you can do better or solve them in different ways.

I'd revisit older games to see which steam friends beat my scores, and then I'd go back through and rediscover, optimize, and get back on top.

I'll definitely miss their games.

kryptn··on iPadOS 16
I've used blinkshell to remote into other machines and it's worked well enough for me, although it still requires another machine. It apparently has vscode built into it now, but I haven't used it much since.

I'd really love to see a native vscode on ipad.

kryptn··on Ask HN: How do we know a Python script's dependencies entirely?
I've used pipdeptree in the past.

kryptn··on Astronomers reveal first image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy
> 3. According to the article, at least one submillimeter telescope was important. But submillimeter is infrared, isn't it? I thought infrared was blocked by dust, and if there's one thing there's a lot of at the centre of the galaxy, it's dust?

It's the opposite actually! Infrared light is able to go through dust.

> Another reason [to look at the universe in the infrared] is because stars and planets form in clouds of gas and dust, and this dust obscures our view. Infrared light penetrates these clouds and allows us to see inside.

kryptn··on Eve Online fans cheer Microsoft Excel features at annual Fanfest
Eve Online is the best game I'll never play again.
kryptn··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
Also a fan of my Framework. Spent just about $2k on the dot too. Running Pop!_OS and haven't really had any issues.

My work machine is a macbook pro, but I'd happily work on my framework instead.

kryptn··on Six companies control 90% of what you read, watch, and hear
I'm curious, do you have any examples?
kryptn··on Python 3 Types in the Wild
After many years of writing Python code, I absolutely love python types. We've got type checking in our pre-commit and in our CI, and they help our IDEs with completions. I don't think code with type hints in it really looks any different, it's still code.
kryptn··on My out-of-body experience in a sensory deprivation tank
The one I've been to gave me silicone earplugs so that wasn't a concern.
kryptn··on Frickin' shaders with frickin' laser beams
The Talos Principle is really one of the best puzzle games I've played. It scratched the same itch for me that Portal did.
kryptn··on Advent of Code 2021
Nah, not in my opinion. Use whatever you want to solve the problems. Ultimately you have to submit an answer to the site for the day.

Even then, if you go and look up solutions it's still up to you whether or not you call that cheating.

kryptn··on Show HN: Factorio Blueprint Visualizer
I've used a combination of three mods to help planning.

Rate Calculator lets you select an already-built area and shows you its input and outputs, Factory Planner is pretty neat too with its matrix solver.

Both of those in combination with the Blueprint Lab have been great. Build out the base of your factory in it, save a blueprint, then actually build in your map.

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/RateCalculator

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factoryplanner

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BlueprintLab_design

These aren't really diagramming, but I hope they can help.

kryptn··on Advent of Code 2021
I did 2019 in Nim, and I'll be doing 2021 in Rust. 2020 I tried to go for speed though, so I went with python.

Implementing Intcode in Nim for 2019 was really pretty fun

kryptn··on Reflections on software development from anywhere on an iPad
I picked up an iPad Pro more or less to chase this same ideal. I'm using blink shell and tailscale. Originally I wanted to use code-server but none of those web vscode instances support the extensions I want to use, so now I'm just trying to pick up vim.

kryptn··on The Truth About Nuclear Fusion Q Factors
> Is there not a more active, not brute force approach for containing the plasma?

I think General Fusion's approach is interesting, they're compressing the plasma with a liquid metal wall.

kryptn··on DIY RGB Icosahedron
I'd love to design and build something like this myself, but all of the electronic design seems so daunting.

Where's a good place to get started with this?

kryptn··on Linux on the Desktop: Part Two
I'd hit it with a datavac.
kryptn··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
This was my first thought as well, I'd love to see an ortholinear keyboard, and ideally one I could config with QMK. Not sure how likely or easy either would be though.
kryptn··on Reddit seeks to hire advisers for U.S. IPO – sources
How are reddit and discord related?
kryptn··on If software engineering is in demand, why is it so hard to get a job?
I also interviewed with Reddit, although it was a few years back at this point.

I thought I nailed their code challenge and expected to continue through the process, but after that session that was pretty much the last I heard from them. It was pretty disappointing.
