sfc32··on Downside at NVIDIA (and the Nasdaq at large)
Started out an interesting read, but lost credibility with me with the "Hold Up" Gif.
sfc32··on Ruby on Rails load testing habits
RoRvsWild is a pretty cool product, and built by 2 of the nicest guys in the Ruby ecosystem.
sfc32··on Dungeons and Dragons turns 50 today
remove the "fantasy role-playing game" part and you have great description of youtube, tiktok, facebook etc
sfc32··on The .ing top-level domain

Plenty of people in tech getting TC like this.

sfc32··on Ask HN: Is Oracle that much more evil than other big companies?
FAANG makes Oracle look like the good guys, although less competent at engineering.
sfc32··on Ask HN: Why is OpenAI still called OpenAI?

sfc32··on The Decline of Usability (2020)
The strangest thing is that despite all the years of UX research, many websites today are covered in pop-ups all over the content, often containing flashing video, which has not been requested by the user.

Then there is is the massive "cookie acceptance" buttons on every page. All on major, mainstream sites.

The web is really becoming unusable due to UX problems.

sfc32··on Apple vs. Meta: The Illusion of Privacy
That was a fun little presentation, nothing super-new there but it did have a good idea about showing the trust level of the application with a badge.

All credibility was then swept away by "Sign up with Google" to the mailing list on the last page. Hilarious.

sfc32··on The gamification of reading is changing how we approach books

sfc32··on Biologists Adopt Cloning Moratorium (1997)
It's good news that Elon is coming forward and speaking up, but the "community" is not going to listen to him. Even if AI was regulated in the US, it wouldn't stop China and elsewhere making the same advances.

Sadly such restraint doesn't exist today, despite calls by Elon https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65110030

Is there a link available to the Goldman Sacs report?
sfc32··on Show HN: A structured list of jobs from “Who is hiring?”, parsed with GPT

A little typo:

For when you neither rememeber exactly

sfc32··on So you've installed `fzf` – now what?
Great blog post, strange choice of image (comment by Ciara).
sfc32··on So you've installed `fzf` – now what?

What do you mean by maintained? There are commits as recent as yesterday on the project: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

sfc32··on Google Groups has been left to die
Good!
sfc32··on Stripe faces $3.5B tax bill as employees' shares expire
Did the CEO/CFO not see this one coming? Or was it a calculated gamble they took and lost on?
sfc32··on Errors for the Twilio Rest API impacting multiple services
It says 17% in the article. This is obviously a massive number, but just wondering where the 28% number is coming from? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/13/twilio-layoffs-1500-employee...

It's also a way to keep them on, but give them a lower salary increase.
