robbywashere_··on Pure Bash Bible (2018)
I'd love to see a little language which compiles to _readable_ bash. Could it be so hard? There's a dead project that comes up now and then called bish.

robbywashere_··on E-scooter startup Spin apparently uses RasPi 4s inside their scooters
incoming flame war about how the raspi 4 was overpowered and they should have just used a button sized 8052, written the software in assembly and ran it all on CR3032 battery.
robbywashere_··on Unicorn – A full-stack web framework for Django
React aside… hooks, classes redux fatigue whatever- JSX is beautiful and any other framework that builds this quasi irb+mustache+html-like-markup is taking 2 steps back. I would like to see JSX survive the framework wars of 2024-2025
robbywashere_··on Data brokers selling license plate location and analytics data
It wouldn’t need to be a conspiracy. An employee of a three letter agency just gets “poached” by said company. Resigns from agency. Works for company, still keeps in contact with his friends at agency. Setting up those demos and meetings for their latest product are easy now.
robbywashere_··on It doesn’t take much public creativity to stand out as a job candidate
At what point in the job finding/interviewing process are you having trouble with? If you don’t mind me asking?

Probably got demolished and turned into a bank or a Verizon store.
robbywashere_··on X.com (2000)
If he wanted to make all these sweeping changes then why did he alienate his staff?

Can you imagine all the time and money that was put into staffing Twitter? There is value to an organization and its unwritten human network upon which it operates. Then it was just blown away over night to appease some beanie wearing mouth breathers on the platform

robbywashere_··on U.S. Senate bill crafted with DEA targets end-to-end encryption
I want to see an amendment to the United States constitution for the right to encryption.
robbywashere_··on The Nano ESP32
Hey thanks for the links, you seem very knowledgable ;) I am actively looking for any good information or even good hacker communities using ESP32 for some hobby embedded things. Care to recommend any? Thanks again!
robbywashere_··on Ask HN: Anyone else notice that HN isn’t full of JavaScript frameworks lately?
So what I’m getting from reading so many comments here… Did react hooks just totally alienate nearly everyone?
robbywashere_··on The Nano ESP32
risc-v espressif can run rust now I think?
robbywashere_··on A tutorial quantum interpreter in 150 lines of Lisp
"Thanks for interviewing with us today at xyz... please click on that link I just sent you in the chat. Today we will be doing a little quantum coding question. Try to speak out loud so I know what your thinking and your thought process."
robbywashere_··on Taskfile: A Modern Alternative to Makefile
I use autoenv and a `./scripts` directory.

So my .env file just “includes” (automatically via autoenv) what’s in my scripts directory along with setting any environment variables when I’m jumping around my shell. Therefore I can just write a function like “dbup” or “devstart” and have those locally aliased to whatever they summon in the current project

robbywashere_··on Uber Eats Canada Ran Production in a MacBook Air
Such a strange way to run a kubernetes cluster.
robbywashere_··on Langchain Is Pointless
Sad to hear the news, I have 7 years of langchain experience on my resume, now what am I going to do!?
robbywashere_··on Nearly half of the tap water in the US is contaminated with ‘forever chemicals,’
Ironically there seems to be no shortage of fluoride conspiracy theories or “waters turning the frogs gay” but actual chemicals and toxins … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
robbywashere_··on Tell HN: Interview take home assessments without feedback are frustrating
I agree 100% Politely decline and move on. Those 2-4hrs can be better spent applying to other positions. Think of all the other openings you could apply to in that amount of time? 25-30? A conservative 10, with a good cover letter.

Good luck with your search!

robbywashere_··on Intelligent people take longer to solve hard problems: study
Shame that whiteboard problem took you 1hr (and 5 minutes) to solve. NEXT!

robbywashere_··on The note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
This sounds like it could be the death of the platform, or at least the beginning of. I can see it devolving into bot generated content and intrusive ads. Once being a site noteworthy of high signal to noise ratio for content (ie google'ing with 'reddit' for quality search results) will now enshitify as it attempts to squeeze out every drop of revenue.

Had the owner of twitter not fired all of his employees, they very well may have been able to seize the opportunity and develop an alternative which could have integrated with their current users and product.

This is awesome!

Any platformIO alternatives?

Great! Now do data privacy, it is long overdue.
robbywashere_··on DeviceScript: TypeScript for Tiny IoT Devices
I have personally been trying to find either a language which transpiles to c or c++ or one with near performance to run on a ESP32. It would be nice to also make use of existing c++ libraries. I’ve seen NodeMCU, go lite, mini python, you name it. Any suggestions? I am considering rust or zig…

robbywashere_··on IRS files $44B claims against bankrupt FTX
What’s crazy is if this was so blatantly obvious too good to be true… why didn’t the SEC stop it ?

As an AI language model it is not possible for me to smell cheese.
robbywashere_··on I wrote a tool in Go to write Sequence Diagrams in Go
This is a typical Ai-ist stance, us warm blooded norm-coders are absolutely sick of this rhetoric!
