What did you expect?
mkoryak··on Apple Watch with Android
An iPhone is required to use them. The watch app is like a remote for the phone app. Some will only play if the watch and the phone are near, others don't have that limitation, but all of them require that you have an iphone

What does that have to do with the state of the AI?

Tell me how to get a streaming music app on that watch without an iPhone and I'll buy you a beer

I'm going to push back on "produce reasonable code".

I've seen reasonable code written by AI, and also code that looks reasonable but contains bugs and logic errors that can be found if you're an expert in that type of code.

In other words, I don't think we can rely solely on AI to write code.

mkoryak··on The tragedy of running an old Node project
i forgot all about node-gyp. The only memories I do have of it are the errors and thinking about gimps.
mkoryak··on Nintendo's Legal Hitlist Grows
Did he though? What if the kind offer he got was along the lines of "please delete all of your stuff tomorrow and we won't destroy your life? Thanks".

It doesn't say what the agreement was, but I can tell you from experience that the prospect of being legally steamrolled is not pleasant.

It would be nice if you had the non minified version there. I can't easily see the code on mobile, and that's all I care about

It's a tabloid.
mkoryak··on The first mass-produced DRAM of the Soviet Union
> The @ symbol on the screen of this display looks like a dog, which may be the reason why it is called a “dog” in Russian.

Are any pictures available? I would like to know how @ could look like a dog

mkoryak··on Ask HN: Tired of software career. What now?
This.

When a job starts to make you feel this way, it's time for a new job.

Go work at a startup if you want to do green field stuff with latest tooling that doesn't suck yet.

When you interview at a place, make sure it doesn't suck like your current place. Interview them.

Slow edit refresh. When is say slow, I mean over 100 seconds.

mkoryak··on Caltech Develops First Noninvasive Method to Continually Measure Blood Pressure
I stopped drinking and mine went up :p

Being sober is pretty stressful

mkoryak··on Microsoft is a black hole of money and talent
I've been there, worked on poorly built systems and complained about it.

One thing I found is that ranting like TFA makes you sound like you think you're the most amazing engineer and everyone else is stupid. It makes you sound like someone who no one wants to work with.

ran out of money

I don't think node really existed when this was made in late 2009. It was built with jsf: Java server faces. Its a bit like a more enterprisey version of GWT. Everything on the page was a huge class with lots of horrors that eventually became html css and js that you never wrote.

I checked, node existed but it was a toy compared to jsf.

I just noticed that the video about donating to charities ends with the narrator trailing off with "I don't know what I should say".

I am surprised we decided to upload those videos. It might have been during the time when people weren't being paid regularly

The idea was that you would visit participating merchants, spend money there and they would give you codes on stickers that they generated from our site and then the customers would use those codes on the site with purchase amount to get sayacash. One problem we had was that the codes we generated turned out to be invalid because... we didnt know why. We generated the codes, but they werent in the database. Where did they go? The customers would try to enter them, and be told that they are invalid, or go to their dashboard and see stuff that wasnt theirs because there was only one session object for the entire app.

It was a huge mess. At some point we made a video that would explain how the site was to be used. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/@sayagle.

Every single person in every video was employed by this company. The tea place in the first video was owned by the founder. :)

I once worked for a Cambridge startup called Sayagle where you would Yagle for SayaCash (don't ask).

I started after the website was built by a cheap offshore team. It was built with JSF and we soon found that no one thought about multithreading because they only ever tested it with a single user.

Needless to say, when more than 10 users were active on the site, they would start to experience problems, like seeing eachothers data and stuff. "We" fixed the problem by adding more servers while I tried to rewrite the whole thing using spring and jsp.

Would this game be a good way to get a 10 year old into programming?
mkoryak··on Show HN: Create a portrait painting from one photo
I have not tried this service, but one of the examples takes a picture of a man whose head is tilted to the side and makes a painting where his head is not tilted. You wont be able to do that with imagemagic
mkoryak··on Google releases smart watch for kids
And if that doesn't happen, the battery will be such crap that your kid will do nothing but complain about it 24/7.

You will wish it was lost.

mkoryak··on mRNA Cancer Vaccine Reprograms Immune System to Tackle Glioblastoma in 48 Hours
My dad died from that also, luckily for me, I was still in middle school and it had almost no impact on my career path. It's difficult to picture how my life would be different had this treatment been available.
mkoryak··on ESPHome
I buy stuff from them all the time. They are Amazon with longer shipping times and better prices.

It's harder to return stuff, sure, but just don't buy anything like that there.

I've never been ripped off by them. One time I bought some stuff and it wasn't being shipped so I cancelled my order and got my money back.

mkoryak··on $10M in Gold Disguised as Machine Parts Seized from Cargo Plane
Wait, bitcoins aren't those gold coins with a B on them?

I really should look more into this Bitcoins money thing...
