lkschubert8··on Waymo begins driverless rides in San Francisco
I'm assuming you mean commercial supersonic flight? I'm pretty sure there are plenty of military supersonic planes.
lkschubert8··on You build it, you run it [pdf]
My fear with this is always that the platform team stops building a platform that is particularly useful. "The Platform" becomes the important thing to them instead of the product it delivers. It's also a good way for the platform team to get viewed as a cost center.
lkschubert8··on Building a no-code toxicity classifier by talking to GitHub Copilot
Is memorization of an API surface competence? This feels very much like a "back in my day" argument.
lkschubert8··on Just some red flags. No big deal. Just ignore them (2020)
This seems to break down when having to do general it support at medium to large scale.
lkschubert8··on Mitsubishi plans to include scene-aware interaction in cars
This is the core of the materialism vs dualism debate.
lkschubert8··on Cardboard: a scrollable tiling window manager
You aren't getting downvoted for the opinion, but for the tone and lack of constructive feedback. The following is from the HN comment guidelines:

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

lkschubert8··on Ask HN: Why is UI design in Unity so hard?
Honestly this is my experience with ui in most, if not all, game engines.
lkschubert8··on Amazon Elastic File System Update – Sub-Millisecond Read Latency
Haha well aware as a current on call SDE at one of them!
lkschubert8··on Amazon Elastic File System Update – Sub-Millisecond Read Latency
Isn't that the idea behind separating out the SRE (site reliability engineer) role from software engineering?
lkschubert8··on Apple unveils contactless payments via Tap to Pay on iPhone
The obvious answer is that the responders are two distinct subsets of hn users.
lkschubert8··on SICP: JavaScript Edition available for pre-order
If you have a browser on a computer you have a js repl.
lkschubert8··on Dad and the ten commandments of egoless programming (2012)
I really don't understand the attitude of getting frustrated when people correct mistakes in your code review. I would so much rather have a coworker catch my bug in a cr than have it make it to prod. One is mildly embarrassing (if you tie your ego to your code) the other has an actual impact.
lkschubert8··on Zendesk pretends to be open source?
Do you use any version control management system like git, svn, or fossil? If not, your first step would likely setting up your project with one of them (most likely git) and then just pushing it to a service like github.
lkschubert8··on Strengthening our efforts against the spread of non-consensual intimate images
Here's an article on how a few different image hashing algorithms work https://content-blockchain.org/research/testing-different-im.... I think in general they still function with resizing (and a few other image manipulations), but I don't think they handle cropping.
lkschubert8··on I took a job at Amazon, only to leave after 10 months
Performance improvement plan
lkschubert8··on Tokyo: A big city that is also pleasant to live in
The north east coast has 4 states with some of the highest homelessness rates (New York, Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts). https://www.statista.com/statistics/727847/homelessness-rate...
lkschubert8··on Albanian prosecutors probe huge suspected leak of personal data
Could it be public just linked to role and not name? Still has issues with roles that are unique enough to be identifying though.
lkschubert8··on Bay Area car owners leaving trunks open while parked amid wave of car break-ins
I think the argument isn't that people should be free to do that, but that it may not be worth giving that level of observational ability to the governing body to stop car break ins.
lkschubert8··on How I learned to stop worrying and push to master
In my experience the "this is so small it doesn't need a code review" changes are more often the ones that blow things up.
lkschubert8··on CISA Director on Log4j Vulnerability
I've heard of similar things being done for ADA compliance. Something about requiring a phone line to be up at all the same times as the website so instead of a 24/7 call center you just turn the site off.
lkschubert8··on The Catherine Project: A new experiment in liberal education
Here's a link https://www.sjc.edu/.
lkschubert8··on Why Some Dads Don’t Take Leave: They Think They’ll Be Punished
Im really struggling to wrap my head around "not being wired for child care". We live in a world full of things that we as humans are obviously not "wired" for as we have created them in the past few hundred years, but the line gets drawn at child care for men?
lkschubert8··on The Catherine Project: A new experiment in liberal education
There is one mentioned in the top comment, St. John's.
lkschubert8··on YAML: It's Time to Move On
And the flip side of that with YAML is you can stream it, but you don't know once you've gotten to the end if it was the whole document without some user defined checksum mechanism.
lkschubert8··on Stop Calling Everything AI, Machine-Learning Pioneer Says
The point is the goal of a submarine is to allow humans to traverse large distances underwater, the semantics of how it does so are unimportant. Similarly the ability of a computer to think is moot, its the results we get from that that matter.
lkschubert8··on Google developing own CPUs for Chromebook laptops
After a certain upvote threshold on your account you get the ability to downvote
lkschubert8··on I just don’t want to be busy anymore

lkschubert8··on Found a program I wrote in 1981 and decided to bring it back to life
I mean that and his hn handle is his first and last name.
lkschubert8··on A Tour of Grant Imahara’s Shop [video]
They definitely aren't besties, but from everything I've read they have a mutual respect for each other creatively and professionally.
lkschubert8··on Why that Thunderbolt add-in card doesn't work properly in your unsupported PC
I can second this. I was experiencing the exact same thing for a while.
