riddleronroof··on The endless influence of the Bauhaus (2017)
Best of Brutalism is like a being one eyed in a group of blind. But yes agree that well done bauhaus can be gorgeous. Just usually not.
riddleronroof··on The endless influence of the Bauhaus (2017)
No, but will read. I guess what we need is contrast, from glass cubes. Maybe bauhaus is like cactus. It makes sense in a garden. But a whole garden of them, feels despondent.
riddleronroof··on The endless influence of the Bauhaus (2017)
Bauhaus was a mistake. An evolutionary tail that should have ended. We lost all sense of beauty and craftsmanship. The same emptiness everywhere. I’d rather have a Louis XIV chair mass produced for everyone.
riddleronroof··on Use of Google Analytics declared illegal by French data protection authority
Agree. That also means no new US or EU company has a chance to go across the pond. BigCos can set this up. Not so easy for a small startup.
riddleronroof··on Ask HN: Who's sick of remote work?
Just work from a coffee shop. You don’t miss office, you miss people.
riddleronroof··on GDPR enforcer rules that IAB Europe’s consent popups are unlawful
Thanks! This is an informed take.
riddleronroof··on GDPR enforcer rules that IAB Europe’s consent popups are unlawful
Ok but I don’t get how this consent system ran for years? How can one get pre approved? The issue here isn’t that they collected data (it’s own problems), but they they didn’t use the right language! Does this mean it will be a long term of conditions like apple does every time we use a website? ICCL might have made internet worse with this. Not better.
riddleronroof··on Rotterdam bridge to be dismantled for Oceanco's 127m sailing yacht Y721

riddleronroof··on Open Sourcing the App Engine Standard Java Runtime
Yeah. It’s new. They added it to allow web sockets, amongst other things.
riddleronroof··on Ask HN: My tattoo artist made comment about the Covid vaccine that confused me
Can he also tell if you took MMR vaccine as a kid? Or flu shot last year? The changes are in antibodies. And I doubt your tattoo artist can see them.
riddleronroof··on WebAssembly techniques to speed up matrix multiplication
This is very cool
riddleronroof··on On Covid
It’s because the authors don’t have under 5 kids. So they don’t care.

Bitter lesson from last 2 years: no one cares about other’s misfortune at cost of self’s convenience.

riddleronroof··on IBM’s Watson Health is sold off in parts
Because people who make that fatal decision read Gartner magic quadrants.
riddleronroof··on Green Lumber Fallacy in Software Engineering
I bet you have. But how long did you have to solve it? Did you have access to the internet, talking out ideas with your colleagues, coffees? I agree that you can’t simulate real scenario in an interview, but you can also acknowledge that the process is a little cartoonish.
riddleronroof··on The next big Wi-Fi standard is for sensing, not communication (2021)
Thank you! Also, I can lid the device in a drawer. It’s greatly different than tracking exactly what I’m doing in any room. Also, consider flats next to each other.
riddleronroof··on The next big Wi-Fi standard is for sensing, not communication (2021)
Your next door neighbor’s wifi will know your every movement, and can probably image it too. End of privacy within closed doors. I guess I always thought that should be sacred space.

riddleronroof··on Real Problems That Web3 Solves, Part 1
Same as Argent. Elect 4 trusted people, if they all ok it’s really you, the custodian (a company that stores your private keys, like LastPass), releases it to you.
riddleronroof··on Real Problems That Web3 Solves, Part 1
Not to be that HN poster, But wouldn’t pgp key browser plug-in do just as well?

Those who can’t, teach.
riddleronroof··on How did so much of the media get the Steele dossier so wrong?

Plot twist: thé travelled was Bill Gates.
riddleronroof··on Many white students lied about their race to improve chances of admission
Consider the source of the survey, Intelligent.com I’ve never heard of them. And they write an article about their own research. Color me skeptical.
riddleronroof··on China’s noisy ‘dancing grannies’ silenced by device that disables speakers

riddleronroof··on Ask HN: How to get compeitors to use our open source interop-prototcol?
Blockchain solves this (not kidding).

riddleronroof··on France recalling ambassadors to the United States and to Australia
If the news broke out like this, you can bet there was a complete diplomatic breakdown. Stuff like this doesn’t happen. Cost concerns, etc is just smokescreen. It happened because it was not handled diplomatically. A huge problem. France is right. If it cannot trust it’s allies, then what are her diplomats doing there?
riddleronroof··on Web3 is a stupid idea
Pardon my ignorance. Couldn’t those websites use other data (IP/geo) with your wallet address to figure out who you are?
riddleronroof··on Tools I use: argparse builder
You might want to look at Google’s python fire which makes this sort of thing obsolete.
