notinreallife··on I’m Sorry Mr. Zuckerberg, but You Are Wrong
Seems easy to blame Facebook for this. I don't like how he called out their algorithms, probably not even knowing how they work. Meanwhile Twitter is just banning alt-right accounts openly, and no one gives a shit.
notinreallife··on Ask HN: What stacks dominate in remote jobs?
maybe that was the joke
notinreallife··on Humans Hunted Mastodon in Florida Nearly 15,000 Years Ago
Mastodon reminds me of Power Rangers :)
notinreallife··on Introducing WhatsApp's Desktop App
What did they use to make the desktop app, I wonder. Maybe _electron 1.0_?!?
notinreallife··on Object-Oriented Programming is Garbage: 3800 SLOC example [video]
My guess is that most "OOP-happy" people never get a chance to see beautiful procedural code so they're just afraid of it. A lot of developers nowadays are trained to smite any code that isn't following OOP principles or design.
notinreallife··on Estimating the Revenue of a Russian DDoS Booter
He uploaded the .exe of his malware to the malware checker sites (like virustotal) and then posted the hashes. You can look up the hashes on virus total and then get the executable.
notinreallife··on From College Dropout to Senior Engineer in One Year
I wrote a giant explanation about this and then deleted it out of frustration.

Basically, I believe that Senior Engineer is much more than what this article claims. These points are all about mental strategies and confidence, but these have nothing to do with actual technical skill, or plain old experience.

notinreallife··on Ask HN: How can I influence a change in this development process?
this is some great insight, thanks!
notinreallife··on Block languages
When I tutored/taught I always found that logic was the root cause of a student's struggle. If you can't understand the logic, there's absolutely no way to understand implementation.

The most unusual situation I've seen when teaching (shit-tier university) was that some students couldn't look at a single ASM instruction and understand what it's doing after being explained the syntax:

   ADD R1, R2, R3 ; R2 + R3 --> Store sum in R1
It's almost like some students aren't even ready to learn...o_O

  Block languages free the students by the burdens of syntax
Is nothing sacred anymore?
notinreallife··on Programmers: Before you turn 40, get a plan B (2009)
I'm fucked

notinreallife··on Batsh – A language that compiles to Bash and Windows Batch
Same here! I needed this a couple weeks ago
notinreallife··on ARM immediate value encoding
THAT Barrel Shifter, son!
notinreallife··on Understanding ARM Assembly, Part 1
I'm co-authoring a textbook on ARM assembly language that focuses on the M3. It will be finished next year.
