llIIllIIllIIl··on Apple introduces iPad mini built for Apple Intelligence
This Apple Intelligence starts reminding about Tesla Autopilot. I hope they will not hire people on the other side of the world to click buttons on your phone.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Effects of Gen AI on High Skilled Work: Experiments with Software Developers
That’s just a more junior mastery of a true webmaster.
llIIllIIllIIl··on My IRC client runs on Kubernetes
Yaml is a language that protects daemons of your application from running away in the wild. It doesn’t matter that much if you draw your pentagrams on k8s or cloudformation or other dialects. Dark magic of modern times.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Leaving Neovim for Zed
Does Zed support remote/containers development now? It was the major blocker for me when i tried it, so i had to retreat back to VSCode. I’m not sure if programming is a social activity so their focus on collaboration is a little odd to me.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Starcraft (A History in Two Acts)
I’ve attended Blizzcon 2018 and it was a very memorable experience. Not just because it was the pinnacle of Starcraft for me, but also the moment when i saw the first non-korean player to win the championship. Serral, the champion on that year and one of the greatest Zerg player ever, wouldn’t be coming as underdog to the matches with Koreans that dominated the stage for almost two decades. Once the final match was over i heard the most humble and respectful words from the champion to the audience and other players. This was such an inspirational moment for me. Shortly after my starcraft journey ended, the interest faded, but that speech left a huge mark on my further activities and perception of the competition in anything. Reminded me that the race is long and at the end it’s always with yourself.
llIIllIIllIIl··on The Death of the Junior Developer
Well, it’s difficult to study books to become senior developer. You have to participate in, experience the problems and solutions, at the end it’s still people that are working with you. Ai assistant is another tool in the box.

Imagine the engineer going oncall for the code this mediocrity generation tool produced. Are they gonna reason with chatgpt “why the duck did you write it this way?” or are they gonna zoom the person whose name git shows on commit during the incident?

The tool is getting better every day, although it will not replace the operator.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Piku: Allows git push deployments to your own servers
I use dokku for my side gigs and it works best. The performance issue I’ve experienced was when the container with my app was being built and it dramatically increased the load on a $20 vm. Then I migrated to use container registry to utilize GitHub actions for building and pushing containers to the registry and then deploying the container directly on the dokku host. Does piku support that flow?

Another question is subdomain support: to have a catch all virtual host that will respond to anything.domain.tld and have wildcard letsenrypt enabled ssl with DNS challenge.

Those two problems make me think that my side gig has grown up enough to switch to ArgoCD/K8s, although there are many other problems that come with it (from my experience on the day job). For now I just do the certificate rotation manually, which is not much ideal but works with a couple make targets.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Building a Waitlist (The Wrong Way)
One should really consider the product validated after the cha-ching sound of the transaction. They will tell you whatever you want so that they were left alone and didn’t have to part with the moneys.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Ask HN: What does FB gain in making LLAMA free?
What benefits will they have if they keep it to themselves? I think being freely available is the differentiator from OpenAI offering
llIIllIIllIIl··on The New Inflection
Nice website design.
llIIllIIllIIl··on The teen mental illness epidemic is international (2023)
It’s not just social media. Free roaming and spending time outside on their own or with peers went down dramatically for the last 30 years.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Waymo outperforms comparable human benchmarks over 7M+ miles
That's less cars in garages, not on the roads.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Firefox on the brink?
Oh, so we’re back to square 1 with IE6 (it’s just called Chrome this time) and marginalities. Thank god this time we already have jquery so we don’t throw it out of our projects too aggressively it may save a day once again.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Making a music library without a SPA
Removing JavaScript from your frontend means you have one less application, build system, dependencies and oncall schedule to maintain. Love to the authors, wonderful job.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Tell HN: Whole Yandex Git repository leaked
There you go, really working and scalable solution for running Mail, Storage, Voice assistant and Documents on your infrastructure and not depend on 3rd parties. End of Joke.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Microsoft to lay off 11k employees
BigCo has a tedious process of getting rid of bad hires. Most managers are not going that path unless they are forced to.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Microsoft to lay off 11k employees
Never let a good recession go to waste without firing people.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Going full time on my SaaS after 13 years
Congratulations! Your story is very inspiring, your product is amazing and i wish you best of luck. I will follow your path, just today got my first paying subscription purchased for my SaaS.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Ask HN: I’m Lost. Help?
You have lost your appetite after the exit. Exercise, travel, meet new people, have kids, start enjoying your time on this rock and you will find new passion. I doubt you started your business out of despair 10 years ago. Fix despair and your new passion will be readily meet you. Other commenters advise therapist. That’s not a bad advice. I wish you luck on the path.
llIIllIIllIIl··on What Is a Wildcard Person?
Fuck me, reading this is like looking in the mirror. Please don’t write stuff on this topic any more, it’s creepy.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Cannabis is legal in most US states but federal laws block businesses from banks
Airfield (San Jose, CA) accepts debit cards for quite some time already. The additional fee is astronomical.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Docker on MacOS is slow and how to fix it
Is there any way to join the waitlist for the software?
llIIllIIllIIl··on Just use Postgres for everything
Battle tested Celery has dropped the ball so many times during operations and updates, that I would be very uncomfortable giving that recommendation.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Heroku Free Alternatives
I’ve tried Render recently and overall i liked the experience with setup and configuration of my stack.

Although the performance was abysmal. It’s either their compute or postgres, but my import of 25mb json via a script took 22 minutes ($450/month) on job plan, while my 2GB digital ocean box did the same in 3 minutes.

Also email support takes 3 business days to respond.

But render has great potential. If they fix the performance and straighten out the support, they would definitely win over a lot of heroku customers.

Probably will just migrate to Dokky and be done with it.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Get in zoomer, we're saving React
The only reasonable argument is that react helps you write the code that you will throw away and rewrite in two weeks.
