sagolikasoppor··on Ask HN: Is the rise of AI tools going to be the next 'dot com' bust?
Yes I think so. Most big tech companies are American and very over-valued compared to what the profits are. The American stock exchange is worth about double that of the European. I think the American stocks and companies will see a downturn in valuation and European and Asian companies will see an increase.

Other sectors that people today find is boring will have an upswing.

sagolikasoppor··on Let me pay for Firefox
Mozilla is a perfect example on how wokeness destroys everything it touches. I would never pay any money to the Mozilla corporation until they really prove themselves not to be the extreme leftist activists they have been since they kicked out Brendan. Worst business mistake I have ever seen.
sagolikasoppor··on Supabase raises $200M Series D at $2B valuation
I vibe coded parts of https://gisformat.com/ backend in Rust in order to learn about Rust. So I think you are wrong there.
sagolikasoppor··on CT scans could cause 5% of cancers, study finds; experts note uncertainty
I have had a lot of stomach issues, I have done 3 CT scans during my life and I am not even 40 years old. I worry already about the dosage I have gotten.

Though when I asked they said it was like a long flight trip to aroynd the globe. While I don't believe that, I do believe that they are much more effective than they were 10+ years ago. Also I wouldn't have got my stomach surgery without my first one.

sagolikasoppor··on What is Local first development
My main gripe with this is how do you charge users? They can just put the browser in offline mode and continue to use the app forever.

Also it's very hard to follow up bugs or other errors if users are often offline. I giess you can queue up errors being sent and so on but still. Syncing means that you probably have to have a complicated logic, especially if the data you are seeing can be modified by others. How do you solve merge conflicts?

I really like offline first web apps, but it is way harder and more expensive to build I think. For a startup it means more time before you can deploy your app and where I live there is pretty much fast internet everywhere so it kinda is solving an issue that very few customers will face.

sagolikasoppor··on Upcoming Windows 11 builds cannot install without internet and Microsoft Account
The only issue with that is when you switch to Linux, alternatives to Azure is much more compelling. I would never use Azure services unless I'm on Windows.
sagolikasoppor··on Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
I used Ember and it sucked. It was too complicated and the community was elitist and hostile. Then it got extremely woke and political and even shut down the docs which made me lol and really dislike the project and its authors.
sagolikasoppor··on Caddy – The Ultimate Server with Automatic HTTPS
I have used caddy for years as a reverse proxy for all my side projects. It is one of my favorite pieces of software.

So easy to setup and performs very well.

sagolikasoppor··on DOGE staffer is trying to reroute FEMA funds
That is probably because you live in the states that you think that. The EU is so regulated its hard to do anything nowadays.
sagolikasoppor··on GitHub reveals how software engineers are purging federal databases
So when we have to use main instead of master everyone is fine with it but now it's bad to purge words?

I think this is great news. Well done Trump & co.

sagolikasoppor··on Web apps built with Ruby on Rails
I have always looked at Rails with love, but since I mainly build heavy client side SPA apps behind a login it has never been a good choice for me.
sagolikasoppor··on How do you backup your Android?
I use Nextcloud to backup images or potentially other files. Other than that, there is nothing important to backup.
sagolikasoppor··on The Startup Trap (2013)
Oh man. You can write tests after the fact. I have done it sucessfully many times. I write something to see if its viable, if it is I find the repetitive parts and break them up to functions or components in which you can unit test. Later you can also write end to end tests for all the important flows.

TDD is just a way of doing things but it's not faster. It's testing for testings sake. Why should I write a test if I don't have a single paying customer yet? Unless its something massively important, like money or health data there is just little incentives.

sagolikasoppor··on ‘With brain preservation, nobody has to die’
That's easy to solve. Just make the copy while you are still alive, make it so that you can control both brains ans bodies. That way you should be able to shut down the old body and keep on living?
sagolikasoppor··on Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X
How is Elon Musk any different from the plethora of famous people endorsing democrats? I am guessing you don't think they are corrupt?

This double standards is what people are fed up with and people just don't care what mainstream news have tp say anymore because we can listen to the people we want to listen to directly without journalists as a filter.

There used to be some kind of honor in media but like in everything else that has evaporated so now they have made themselves irrelevant.

sagolikasoppor··on Ask HN: Former gifted children with hard lives, how did you turn out?
How do you know if you're gifted?
sagolikasoppor··on SVT Encore – Abstract the Transcoding Power of FFmpeg
I would say so, yes. As another commentator said they tried to get more people to pay but failed and then instead used corrupt politicians to do their bidding.

I didn't use to pay, now I have no choice.

sagolikasoppor··on SVT Encore – Abstract the Transcoding Power of FFmpeg
It used to be a license but then they switched to taking the money directly from every tax paying adult, thus increasing their budget with a couple of billion SEK.
sagolikasoppor··on SVT Encore – Abstract the Transcoding Power of FFmpeg
It for sure is, you can see it on your tax declaration.
sagolikasoppor··on Rocket looks set for uncontrolled reentry following Chinese space station launch
China has no regard for humans. Fuck China.
sagolikasoppor··on Brian Armstrong seeking cofounder on HN (2012)
Cool unfortunately I was too young and inexperienced at that time. Coinbase is a great service.
sagolikasoppor··on YouTube suspends account for linking to a PhD research on WPA2 vulnerability
Google being google. Its funny that once I used to lookup to this company and now I view it as a threat to society.
sagolikasoppor··on Whatever happened to IoT smoke alarms?
I have a large house so I have IoT smoke detectors because they are connected so if one goes off, everyone does.

Its good because otherwise a fire could start in one section of the house without me waking up for example.

sagolikasoppor··on Donation page "not compliant with Google Play Policies"
This is good sarcasm.
sagolikasoppor··on Buildings made with fungi could live, grow, and then biodegrade
The house I live in was built around the time america was founded and will most likely outlive me as well.

Its not an apartment building either, it's simply been taken care of since 1770ish

sagolikasoppor··on RIP Google Reader
I am one of those guys that make sure my company will never chose anything google hosted partly because of this reason.
sagolikasoppor··on Cosmic lens reveals faint radio galaxy
Really? Even if they come here and kill us I still think its worth answering
sagolikasoppor··on Pangolin – Mobile AMD laptop with Ryzen CPU and Radeon graphics
Totally disagree, you won't see much of a difference in such a small screen anyway and the battery life is way better.

I have a 4k monitor on my laptop but I regret that choice.

sagolikasoppor··on Caramel: An OCaml for the Erlang VM
How did it work out for you?
sagolikasoppor··on Protest note about user privacy changes by Reddit
I used to be on reddit all the time, but I got banned and several of the subs I followed were either quarantined or banned.

Reddit used to be all about free speech and grass root movements but now its all about chineese money and mainstream opinions. Most subs are controlled by the same users and any controversial opinion will get you banned.

They even implemented thought crimes, that is upvoting the wrong thing can give you a ban. Reddit has become a really shitty website with spam ads for their mobile app.
