psyclobe··on sudo make install
This is why powershell is gaining traction
psyclobe··on Barnes and Noble's surprising turnaround
My local Barnes and Noble has an absolutely massive record section. Really made it worth while to visit!
psyclobe··on Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable
I tried to deploy ipv6 with my vlans on my Ubiquiti stuff. Good luck debugging or calling any tech support when stuff doesn't work, no one understands it heh. Hell even comcast couldn't answer the question as to the delegation subnet size on their provisioned routers (key for deploying more then 1 vlan behind it).
psyclobe··on Alzheimer's drug lecanemab hailed as momentous breakthrough
Same. Really sucked.
psyclobe··on MSN replaced journalists with AI publishing fake news about mermaids and Bigfoot
When you push the windows button it has some kinda delay and it’s so shitty like u can’t start typing for what u want to find until it first pings some website for some metadata.
psyclobe··on Clang is better than GCC
gcc is further along with c++20 support, which makes clang nonstarter these days.
psyclobe··on The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry
I'm not dead yet!!
psyclobe··on Ask HN: What was being a software developer like about 30 years ago?
msdn subscription cd binders... everywhere
psyclobe··on Google Cloud Workstations – Fully managed browser-based development environments
Here here! ~14ms latency is noticeable and tiresome, on any remote interface.
psyclobe··on Do you remember Ultima Online?
I remember making a website for our guild, I think we were called 'The Immortals?'. There were some big guilds out there, I seem to recall one called FuckTards or something like that...
psyclobe··on We Burned Down Players’ Houses in Ultima Online
Gosh I remember beta testing this game, was a coming of age time, the first MMORPG. Glorious times of guilds and true PvP (e.g. you leave the town you basically were on your own) these were the true days of high online adventure!
psyclobe··on Plink: Create epic music together with friends and strangers
Ok that was fun
psyclobe··on Framework is now available in Australia
I sure love mine, except for the fact that the speakers are barely audible
psyclobe··on Ask HN: Should I inform investors that my startup employer is a scam?
Go ahead and try it, I assure you that will be the end of your job there.

Listen to others here, just leave. You will not break into that fuct up situation, you cannot improve it, no one will listen to you, and if you blow the whistle you'll be done.

psyclobe··on “Hello world” is slower in C++ than in C (Linux)
tl;dr iostreams is bloated and slow
psyclobe··on I don’t have notifications enabled, nowhere and never
Amen
psyclobe··on Do you regret deleting FB or IG or any social media?
Deleted Facebook 5 years ago, have not gotten laid since.
psyclobe··on Ask HN: What do you code when learning a new language/framework?
Sliding window throughput calculator
psyclobe··on Windows' Undocumented “Emergency Restart”
I _always_ reboot with 'shutdown /f /r /t 0', the interactive shutdown/reboot stuff is worthless
psyclobe··on Windows Registry mods, advanced tweaking and more
Use powershell core: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell
psyclobe··on What startup snakery have you experienced as a developer / employee?
Oh yeah nothing like being fired for some made up hr bs just because you disagreed with the megalomaniac of a cto.
psyclobe··on Apple unveils all-new MacBook Air, supercharged by the new M2 chip
I am still in love with my xps 13 9360 laptop. 4k oled touchscreen 14 inch ultra book, the form factor just works.
psyclobe··on Learning Chess at 40 (2016)
Hah, yeah I have been teaching my 10 year old, he's very competitive. I never really gravitated towards chess but, its quality 1 on 1 time with a physical game, that is quite challenging.

I love it when he wins.

psyclobe··on Ask HN: Learn C++11 or Rust in 2022?
Well said, sometimes the developer community forgets what they are giving up (vs what they are exchanging for).

Is it a sin to say that, because you know c++ so well you don't need the nanny's and excessive overhead of validation?

That's akin to someone saying they never need to write tests.

Have you ever started a project without tests?

psyclobe··on Mental illness, attention deficit disorder, and suffering
Same, it's been nothing but a liability and to be perfectly frank it makes my daily life way more stressful than it should be.

The biggest part I don't like is the inability to ever really be 'here in the now' e.g. enjoying the moment. All these important life events just fly by me without even reacting to them it seems, and only in hindsight do I start tearing up thinking about what I missed.

psyclobe··on Ask HN: Who's having a ton of fun at work and what are you doing?
Re-writing a 10-year-old server backend system with matching client-side applications, all of which were abandoned, with no documentation, and which were written in this abhorrent hybrid of C/C++ with more goto's than functions, no const correctness, no unit tests, no testing of any sort, combined with amazingly bad and repetitive spaghetti code everywhere; I am re-writing this in a form that allows for test driven development, code coverage validation, with a matching ci system that performs all the integration testing and deployment automation.

Yeah this is a ton of fun!

It's not every day you get the chance to just re-write something [it rarely is the best idea] but when you do, I relish it.

psyclobe··on Experience Report: 6 months of Go
I think you meant to say 'C Experience'.

No C++ coder I know (at least the true C++ coders, e.g. ones who have abandoned the 'Simplicity of C' mantra), find nothing of use in go besides a draconian single truth model of 'the best way to do things' similar to Python.

That is really opposite of the C++ experience, where you have millions of different patterns, techniques, and pitfalls at every corner. Those who enjoy this, are definitely not go enthusiasts.

Now I'm not saying ones better than the other, but I really doubt C++ core find Go attractive. Go was invented on the premise that 'We hate C++' or something to that regard.

psyclobe··on How to Corrupt an SQLite Database File
Yeah global shm state is a bitch you have kinda a ownerless resource that must be managed somehow cooperatively. This adds global mutexes to the equation and quirky concepts on initialization and abandonment of the shared state.

Usually none of these issues are dealt with in the shared memory sdk you’ll be using, so you gotta model it with mental experiments just like you would a lock free implementation in a threaded process.

Simple no, doable yea, error prone you betcha.

psyclobe··on Airbnb’s design to live and work anywhere
Thats called the break room
psyclobe··on Airbnb’s design to live and work anywhere
I hate open floor plans! Give me a proper cube, yes SPEND the money on your workers, don't just cheap out and throw in a picnic table in a big room and call it 'Collaboration', BS!
