I'm at work and forgot the password to my usual account, but I can't get to my normal email from work to get my password reset so all bets are off and this is what you get.

Gotta build those muscles for those sweet sweet impressions!

throwaway889900··on Switching to a four-day workweek (2021)
So is it 4/10 or 4/9 or 4/8?
throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Are you happy with your current job?
Beats me, boss also loves to say that we don't have enough time. Woohoo!

>You should also start your commit message with one applicable emoji

I don't think many people will contribute with a rule like that. Project is neat though.

throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Are you happy with your current job?
Nah. Coworker gave his two week notice today after being out for 2.5 months (and only actually being in the office for like 3 weeks after being hired) and my boss is a lunatic with no management or communication skills. I've been told a "moral lesson" of going ahead of schedule being a bad thing too many times to count.

Definitely gonna be finding a new job soon. But for now, it pays the bills and I have other stuff to keep my mind off it when I'm not here.

throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Do you feel you are able to be yourself in your job?
Ah, an in-the-wild explanation of the Gervais Principle.
throwaway889900··on Sonic: A fast JSON serializing and deserializing library
Seems like it's similar in performance to Jackson?
throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Are faster compiles always better for productivity?
Well one time I made things compile so much faster that it ended up killing my coworker's computer PSU for a few days while IT replaced it. So... not always?
throwaway889900··on I introduced my 5-year-old and 2-year-old to startx and xmonad (2012)
Could probably get the same response by running hollywood [1] on a spare monitor.

throwaway889900··on Are daily standups hurting your team?
I think we're all weary of the future.
throwaway889900··on Can we stomach the latest emerging food innovations?
I guess properly made sausage is now "ultra processed", despite just being smoked ground meat in a tube with some spices.
throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Git – what are you using?
I like to use shared folders on a server because I hate myself.
throwaway889900··on Computer-1 mini-ITX Chassis
You mean A E S T H E T I C ?
throwaway889900··on Show HN: Coding Font – A game to find your favorite coding font
Nothing like some good ol' Comic Sans in the world's best IDE: Microsoft Word. Also all spaces are now Unicode spaces.
throwaway889900··on Photoshop’s journey to the web
Moparscape was always running even before that, albeit not as polished and the server owners had full control over how ridiculous the game was.
throwaway889900··on What Is Obvious?
Probably that luggage in general was a luxury item as it wasn't used that often by most people and wheels made it moreso. Eventually prices came down.
throwaway889900··on Why I Hate Frameworks (2005)
To put another analogy down, it's a coupling issue. Nobody wants to hammer in a nail and then buy a new hammer for a slightly different nail.
throwaway889900··on T0* – Series of encoder-decoder models trained on a large set of different tasks
I remember reading some idea that there's only one hydrogen atom in the entire universe somewhere so it's not too far off from that.
throwaway889900··on Ask HN: Ever lost your love for coding? How did you get it back?
Crusty bread > crusty code
throwaway889900··on Nvidia releases Alias-Free GAN code and pre-trained models, naming it StyleGAN3
Obviously if you're using the GAN equivalent of a Megamind meme you won't get away with it, but more reasonable ones you can.
throwaway889900··on Nvidia releases Alias-Free GAN code and pre-trained models, naming it StyleGAN3
Nobody will be able to tell if you stick it in a tiny thumbnail and give it enough jpeg artifacts.
throwaway889900··on Is going to the office a broken way of working?
I imagine OP is talking about a significantly smaller company than 1500 people.
throwaway889900··on How to Solve the Sudoku Puzzle with Programming
For something equally as unreadable as J, try APL! http://dfns.dyalog.com/n_sudoku_bfs.htm
throwaway889900··on Eidos-Montréal Offices shifting to the 4 day work week
Not until the robots can build themselves. Hah!
throwaway889900··on Writing a “bare metal” operating system for Raspberry Pi 4
This is assuming an asymmetric multiprocessing model. It may be that the hardware is set up as such, but symmetric multiprocessing is also an option which is what the Pi seems to do.
throwaway889900··on Writing a “bare metal” operating system for Raspberry Pi 4
I'm assuming a simplistic CPU architecture aimed towards beginners, which is generally what a tutorial is aimed at. From there you can learn about all the nitty gritty details that you need to get actual chip to work.
throwaway889900··on Writing a “bare metal” operating system for Raspberry Pi 4
Of all the sections in the tutorial, https://github.com/isometimes/rpi4-osdev/tree/master/part10-... is probably the best one for anyone to read. I don't think a lot of people grasp that all the cores on a system start running immediately on power up and they're all running the same code from memory initially.
throwaway889900··on Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]
And if you liked this one, there's also the Book of Sand. Similar theme of infinite, generally useless, and unattainable knowledge.
throwaway889900··on Ask HN: What percentage of your income do you keep in your checking account?
Too much probably. Savings accounts are useless.
