So it’s literally not clickbait and payments were delayed…

Important to remember Rolling Stone has a history of publishing false or exaggerated stories.
n0us··on Sci-fi becomes real as renowned magazine closes submissions due to AI writers
Checkout "INFINITE ODYSSEY MAGAZINE" which is only AI-generated art. I'll use the term "art" here because there must be some human skill involved. Personally I'm not able to get results as good as theirs when I use these tools. There are some really cool image series they've put out.

n0us··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2023)
For this role we are looking for someone in the 5-10 YOE range but please feel free to apply to the open role or any other open roles at Cedar as we are looking for go-getters and length of experience does not always equate to depth of experience!
n0us··on The Cost of Shadow Work
I think more likely the large companies which provide "self service" will continue to dominate the majority share of the market while leaving room at the edges for other companies to differentiate on customer service. You can see this in effect with FastMail and Proton Mail each of which offer a great product in their own regards, but also have the major selling point of being "Not Google".

For me XCode is just so so bad for actual code editing so I edit the code in VSCode and run it through XCode

n0us··on DHS announces extension of Real ID full enforcement deadline
I already had a Real ID but when I moved to New York and went to get my license switched they would not give me another one despite having proof of address, my SSN, my valid passport, and my existing valid Real ID. I have to go back with all of that and pay another $60 or something along with my birth certificate to get a Real ID from the state. Unbelievable hassle to get that thing.
n0us··on DoorDash to Slash 1,250 Jobs to Pare Back Rising Costs
There were some people on Blind saying their access was cutoff at 12am midnight with no email or announcement. Pretty poor way to handle things IMO.
n0us··on Meta announces hiring freeze, warns employees of restructuring
I'm sure that senior leadership will also be held accountable for the over-hiring they mandated and their teams will be among the first to reduce headcount \s

you can already do that with the WORKSPACE file
n0us··on Why is it so hard to give Google money?
It feels like every month or so there is another story like this about Google's customer support. For me it is one of the reasons I will *never* build on Google Cloud.

Combine this with their propensity to randomly shut down services and also jack up the prices of things by some wild amount overnight with no warning or justification. (Google Maps API and Kubernetes control plane.)

I would never consider risking all of my work on Google's reputation which is a shame because I'm sure the services themselves work relatively well. It feels like everyone outside of google is widely aware of these issues but everyone inside is completely blind to them.

Side Note: has anyone ever "won" an appeal with Google or does the system deny 100% of appeals?

n0us··on Doctors and Nurses Are Running on Empty
Man, this thread really bringing out the worst of Hackernews and its so disappointing but unfortunately not surprising to see the complete lack of capacity for empathy from some of the other heavily downvoted commenters. Almost everyone who participates on this site is well educated and fortunate enough to understand that people have been putting their lives on the line for months on end to help people through this crisis.

They did not sign up for this an in most cases probably don't really have a choice but to keep working. Health care has always been known as a high stress field, but the last year has completely changed everything even for the people not directly working with Covid patients. Hospitals in America continue to treat employees horrendously while the executives hide out and rake in the big bucks. Maybe a small minority of nurses are earning this "5-10k" but there are probably not as many as you would think. Not everyone can just leave home and everything else behind and work 5-12s in a week.

n0us··on Stanford Pupper: low-cost quadruped robot
Good point, now that I am searching for it I cannot seem to find the code. At the same time it still does not require custom manufactured parts or circuit boards which makes the barrier to entry (and importantly price) a bit lower unless the Stanford folks setup a store.

I make an internet promise here and now that if I ever build the robot I'll open source the source code to control it.

n0us··on Stanford Pupper: low-cost quadruped robot
> You can buy most of the parts directly from a reseller like Amazon or McMaster-Carr, but for some you’ll need to get them custom manufactured for you. The custom parts include the carbon fiber routed parts, the 3D printed parts, the power distribution printed circuit board, and the motors.

Very cool and I would like to build this, but the "Nano Dog" is probably a cheaper and more approachable option for the garage engineer.

If you're writing a REST api, invest the time to learn Django Rest Framework. It is well worth it.
n0us··on Ask HN: How do billionaires deal with their anxiety?
> A billionaire cannot travel to Europe like I can, going from Airbnb to airbnb, hopping in an Uber, surfing with the locals, enjoying fish tacos. A billionaire ends up being an ambassador with little privacy.

Thats what the founder of MySpace does now.

n0us··on Things I Regret About Node.js [video]
"npm link" only establishes a symlink between the two directories and doesn't respect .npmignore or behave in any comparable way to publishing a package and installing it. Sometimes the only way to debug is to repeatedly publish and re-install the package you are developing.
