larsonnn··on Show HN: I made a pretty relaxing puzzle game
So you are the one which needed to go back.
larsonnn··on Show HN: I made a pretty relaxing puzzle game
It’s nice. But I would love it more without competitive features. Maybe you can choos if you want the relax or competitive mode.

So connecting with TLS should be fine then.

This.

What is the meaning of decentralized services ?
larsonnn··on The decentralized web and the future of Section 230
I’m don’t understanding the claim of Matrix being decentralised. In the end I host a server and you talk with me. I give you the choice of choosing the authentication. For that I need an account at the authentication provider like Microsoft.

So all authenticate with Microsoft.

I create a user for them at my server which is still be needed to have the at least the timeline saved.

At which point I have decentralisation here?

And because I can’t handle the traffic on my raspberry I host this on a PaaS/SaaS provider like AWS.

That would assume all web servers are decentralised web3 technologies.

larsonnn··on Show HN: I am building a new Python library to read/write PDF files
This reminds me back in the day where we got some properties and thought, PDF is a defined file format. Every pdf has this values…

We were so naiv and didn’t know.

larsonnn··on Is 40 hours a week too much?
I have more of a problem with companies trying to compress 80hours of work in 40hours.
larsonnn··on Elon Musk Says He Expects to Name a Twitter CEO
Wait… he worked remote?
larsonnn··on Twitter Working on End-to-End Encryption for Direct Messages
And here Im implemented E2EE without billions from investors.
larsonnn··on Elon Musk publicly feuding with and firing his developers on Twitter
It’s not that hard to aggregate multiple APIs to a single request.

I guess it’s not that easy. Space Karen did just tweet the first thing he heard from his stuff. And it’s more clearly he doesn’t know how to do PR by his own.

It’s different to apologise for bad performance or blame implicitly the developers.

larsonnn··on Ask HN: Alternative ways to make money with coding and system skills?
Thanks.
larsonnn··on Ask HN: Alternative ways to make money with coding and system skills?
I would love to read some blog with more details about your experience.

As a long time backend and full stack developer my brain is stucked in web services. Which works Well as employee but when it comes to have your own product you are playing against Google,AWS,meta and so on.

Maybe I try developing desktop applications too.

larsonnn··on Peacetime CEO / Wartime CEO (2011)
Yes. A few billion dollars wartime CEO.
larsonnn··on What’s so great about functional programming anyway?
JavaScript is a bad example. We rely on so many libraries which are not functional. React one of the biggest is not functional at all.

Also JavaScript biggest advantage is that you can mix up. And it’s biggest disadvantage is that non experience developers will mix up too.

Also you need to cloning multi level objects.

To work 100% FP in JavaScript you need the libraries and you need to have a flat data structure every where.

I don’t know how many JSON APIs you see who work like that.

JavaScript has also a rich set of language features you can use to save your time and still have quality code.

larsonnn··on Inside Elon Musk’s first meeting with Twitter employees
Keeping people in office so they don’t lose value.

Also Paypal and YouTube in Twitter.

Can we just use IRC again? At big scale?

larsonnn··on Musk’s first email to Twitter staff ends remote work
Please just ignore him.

Humans shouldn’t have this much money. They do the same shitty deals like people with no money but with bigger consequences.

larsonnn··on It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon
His own opinion is a valid reason.

It’s also a valid reason to leave because space captain Musk is in control.

larsonnn··on Write better error messages
Just tell me you can’t connect with a big red Error message. I don’t give a damn about polite error messages.
larsonnn··on Serverless DNS: Self-hosted DNS resolver at the edge
Reason?
larsonnn··on Map showing birthplaces of "notable people" around the world
Yeah ofc it’s just Hitler you see.
larsonnn··on What they don't teach you about sockets
The title is confusing. I did learn it that way…
larsonnn··on Ask HN: I'm in a rut. How did you get out of yours?
First of all: I know this feeling really well. Get help from a professional when you have no family/friends you can talk to.

Second. You are not happy with your job. Fair enough. But that’s a common problem with young people. You don’t need to be happy with your job. You don’t need like your job. You likely not find a job which makes you happy. That’s a dream you get told every day by social media and ads which is just not true.

Third, your game: I just quit my job and tried for one year to a write just a game. I had a lot of time. My initial motivation was great. I thought to myself. I want to make a great game… But then. It all repeatet and I lost control about my life and how I want to live it. It’s like a deep hole. I’m also not depressed in the “classic” way you see on television. It’s more like you don’t see a perspective. A goal. Because every day you hear: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. FIND YOUR DREAM JOB. And think: why are all so happy with there jobs.

I accepted that your job doesn’t need to make you happy. It’s ok to just earn money. It’s ok not to have this one idea that everybody loves. That’s not how the world works.

I work now 40hours as employee, 30 hours self employed and Ifound my goal: get money. Money to invest in something you love or invest in your hobby. Save it for later to build up your own company. Or what ever.

I was finally seeing when I found my love and my child spawned in our world.

I work harder then ever and hope someday we have enough money to retire without fearing to get poor.

Of course everybody sees this differently and have different experiences.

And the last: Be honest with your self and don’t lie to yourself. And be yourself. Get sober. No drugs. ADHD is not reason to be unhappy.

larsonnn··on Code doesn’t have to be a mess
Set up your room like you would write your code and look if you are happy with that.
larsonnn··on Ask HN: Did you have a positive experience with agencies/freelancers?
When I was a freelancer by myself I did not recognise the negatives. I was focused on the positive ofc. But now we are hiring freelancers and on one side the benefit from short term relationships is a huge benefit. But I can’t really rely on a freelancer when I have plans for the next years. Since now I don’t had a bad freelancer that we cancelled.

When working with another agency you are the customer so I guess you can’t really be objective how good some project was. We never did hire an agency when we thought that we get in trouble with delayed projects. We determine this by doing workshops at the beginning to check if we are a good match.

larsonnn··on Tell HN: You can't hire because you don't post salary ranges
> Of the top reasons people are happy at work, salary is way down on the list. [0] It is important, it makes it possible to pay bills, but it isn't what makes people happy.

I want money so my family don’t struggle in the future. My child can go to better schools. We have better food. We can have a house at better places. When you only work to pay your bills you gonna have a bad time. What happens when you get fired? What happens when you want to change your perspective and go to school again.

larsonnn··on EU Digital Markets Act, aimed at Google, Apple, Amazon, approved
> It also starts to bother me quite a bit when we go from treating everyone equal before the law to creating certain requirements based on other factors.

They are literally the internet. That’s not about some companies to get some of there dollars. They literally gatekeeping. Amazon just shut down a whole social media platform. You can’t sell apps to iOS without paying Apple a big part of it (15 % - 30 %). Yeah you could say just create your own phone that would be fine right? How realistic is this. You can’t even build a good one because the bigger companies have so many patents you can’t go out. Then you write your own OS because you don’t want to pay and global company for using there OS. So give me my 200billion $ to get in the market. You can’t even advertise your product because they wouldn’t show your ad at all. That’s equal?

Also the EU can’t just split up companies. It’s a step to get some freedom back.

larsonnn··on Ask HN: Are you cutting back on subscription services?
Definitely. I’m also considering in buying more blurey boxes.

Subscription models are good in general and better as seeing Ads all day. But I had prime, Disney, Netflix, Crunchyroll etc. It was to much and I’m just watching old series again. It’s not worthy.
