seqizz··on Linux/4004: booting Linux on Intel 4004 for fun, art, and no profit
Probably closest would be the Ig: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize
seqizz··on LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
Yeah same, I am so sad about the things we miss here because of GDPR.
seqizz··on The irrational hungry judge effect revisited (2023)
Interesting, didn't see this before. Now I am curious about addicted judge effect (e.g. smoking) since I witnessed weird things semi-similar to this, but for smoking.
seqizz··on As an Employee, You Are Disposable (2023)
I believe people missed the irony here.
seqizz··on Resume Tip: Hacking "AI" screening of resumes
Yeah, no. I don't want all scrapers to ping me for their 2-month contract jobs which pays nothing.
seqizz··on Don't fuck with paste
Alternative for linux users, which "types" the thing on clipboard to the window you select:

    alias pasteplease='xclip -selection clipboard -out | tr \\n \\r | xdotool selectwindow windowfocus type --clearmodifiers --delay 25 --window %@ --file -'
seqizz··on Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
Then the article is.. not newsworthy I guess. These things are meant to be: "I will still give them money and expect them to do better, no matter what they do".

> one of the biggest pain points is dealing with infrastructure

> We have no dedicated devops person

I understand that not every startup can afford an extra person for infra-heavy tasks, but this should not be surprising. Any tool which looks like an abstraction to you might get complex by time, and steal your time. The cloud was supposed to fix some of these, look where we are now.

seqizz··on NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
Yeah this is an absolute gem. Sad that original NewPipe didn't include the functionality, even optionally.
seqizz··on NixOS and Flakes Book: An unofficial book for beginners (free)
I once saw someone who declared their user's home folder under /etc so they can do it without home manager. Nice out-of-the box thinking.
seqizz··on Show HN: An app to create asynchronous micro podcasts
Looks interesting. I feel like this might replace few of my group "chats" where we're too lazy to write and prefer sending voice messages most of the time. But not sure yet if that needs a long recording to keep the commenting going, or if you can comment on a comment to make tree deeper.
seqizz··on 12,000-year-old realistic human statue was unearthed
You know there is already a conspiracy about its phallus [0]? Which might be broken for unknown reasons.

seqizz··on I am dying of squamous cell carcinoma, and potential treatments are out of reach
> Even simpler is to prohibit payments for these experimental treatments, but let people who whould die anyway participate in them as long as it is free for them. In return the drug companies could use the outcomes as data points towards their aproval applications.

Hell I'd even approve my tax money to go to those companies which end up saving lives as reward.

seqizz··on My First Impressions of Nix
As far as I remember there was enough money to keep them alive on current setting about a year. Worst case they'll switch to an alternative provider which _might_ be a bit slower?
seqizz··on My First Impressions of Nix
Afaiu it's trying to become all. Nix is on core, you can get packages from nixpkgs / write your own definitions, use it on OS configurations via NixOS, use its built-in helpers to run your containers with it, make a whole CI and cache it with the help of Hydra etc.
seqizz··on A weed is swallowing the Sonoran Desert
Probably this is also because of evolution, that we'd like to keep things as it is, otherwise we'll be in risky waters. Of course today's "natural weed"s were themselves invasive at some point in the history.
seqizz··on Please don’t upload my code on GitHub
As far as I know, rights and licenses don't work with suggestions like "please". Either embed it in your COPYING/LICENSE files so the initial 'uploading to github' action would be illegal, or take legal action agains the main offender (which, in this case GitHub).
seqizz··on On the unexpected joys of Denglisch, Berlinglish and global Englisch
As someone who still can't speak "good enough" after 6 years in Germany, thank you! Everyone switches to English all the time :)
seqizz··on 50% of new NPM packages are spam
Wait until spammers integrate with AI coding.
seqizz··on Now ChatGPT is being (mis)used to do PeerReview
Almost: https://xkcd.com/810/
seqizz··on I don’t want a new phone, but I’m probably buying one
So should we force product owners to support multiple older versions of clients, even though the backend is progressed? Who will pay for this extra cost, the users who don't upgrade their devices? I don't think so.

Do every rule has to be written, or does writing them into law makes it logical every time? App owners can add "we only support client versions which is max 6 months older than current stable version" to their EULA and it is also fine (while being worse than current situation) then?

seqizz··on I don’t want a new phone, but I’m probably buying one
Until the app says "we don't support versions older than X" and stops working I assume?
seqizz··on Web fingerprinting is worse than I thought
Yeah I enabled the option yesterday after learning, today I disabled it back since NOPE without site-specific zoom settings retained the web is too inconsistent for me.
seqizz··on Self-Host All the Things?
Oh I was looking the thread of the cult :) /s

As a fellow follower, I can also recommend SNM[0] if anyone wants to self-host their e-mail. Works with zero maintenance, except upgrades which cause few lines to change.

seqizz··on Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own Email?
plus one. it's a breeze.
seqizz··on Bunny AI
Looks like it is generating on-the-fly. No? Second request for each generation (unique number) takes no time.

  for a in `seq 1000 2000`; do wget "https://bunnynet-avatars.b-cdn.net/.ai/img/dalle-256/avatar/email-${a}/rabbit.jpg?width=128&hiEbunny=is_this_secure_though" ; done

seqizz··on Apple to allow outside app stores in overhaul spurred by EU laws
So, for this _specific_ purposes, keep the walled garden by default on, on one of the biggest ecosystems? How about opt-in for walled garden for those who need it.
seqizz··on NixOS 22.11 “Raccoon”
> .. if you know haskell ..

And if you don't have any FP background you're just.. out of luck. /s
