Cybergenik··on Show HN: A store that generates products from anything you type in search
Well this went about as well as I expected: https://anycrap.shop/product/minions-themed-hydrophobic-fore...
Cybergenik··on Profiling with Ctrl-C
>Apparently gcc generates some DWARF data that gdb is slow to handle. The GNU linker fixes this data, so that gdb doesn’t end up handling it slowly. LLD refuses to emulate this behavior of the GNU linker, because it’s gcc’s fault to have produced that DWARF data in the first place. And gdb refuses to handle LLD’s output efficiently, because it’s LLD’s fault to not have handled gcc’s output the way the GNU linker does. So I just remove -ggdb3 - it gives you a bit richer debug info, but it’s not worth the slower linking with gold instead of LLD, nor the slowdown in gdb that you get with LLD. And everyone links happily ever after.

lol, it's a story as old as time. The infinite loop of ego entrenched developers not wanting to change something out of some trivial inconsequential disagreement. The bike shed will be built my way!

Curious if this is related to the issues that they're now experiencing.

Cybergenik··on Ask HN: Could you please brutally review my product website?
The website is slow to do an initial load and when scrolling it takes longer than a second to load the next section. The website seems mostly static, (except for the PerfAI terminal) it shouldn't be this slow.

It looks like you're using Webflow, not sure if it's possible to make it faster.

Cybergenik··on Go 1.21 Release Candidate
Wrote a blog explicitly asking for some of these changes last year: https://www.lremes.com/posts/golang/

Nice to see their going in a good direction.

This seems relevant with the recent layoffs.

Are we committing a Feynman error today, with the way we're developing large language models or other forms Artificial Intelligence?

I came across this earlier today and I can't seem to wrap my head around the claim it makes at the top. Is this real??? or is there some trick here, my bullshit senses are tingling.
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Hey, Thanks for reading!

I'm not sure. I got a return offer to intern again for summer 2022. But I ended up taking an internship at Amazon instead. Mostly because I want to try new things and see what it's like to develop at a big company without all the red tape and just in a new environment.

But I can't say that it's completely out of the realm of possibility for me to come back. I think it would largely depend on the team. If I did come back, it'd be cool to work with one of the Cloud teams.

Always! :)
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
I was compensated very well man! Don't worry, I wouldn't take a job like this if it wasn't well paid ;)
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
LOL SecDB, I remember that...
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Thanks for the constructive criticism! When I said surreal I didn't mean the hikes, I meant the way they took me into their inner circle and treated me like just another team member as opposed to just a temporary intern. I'll have to run a spell checker, no real excuse for that. I can only draw from my own experience when writing the blog, so I just wrote about how I felt while going through it. As "inauthentic" as that might sound. Also Goldman wasn't my first paid SWE job, I've had previous jobs where I've had to write production software and my thoughts on Open Source are my own, through my own experiences. I'm not simply regurgitating a position.

Thanks for the feedback! I generally prefer darker themes, so my eyes don't hurt. I am however working on a toggle button to make the website light/dark.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29849488 I'll update the blog to clarify this
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Yeah, so I did implement the ability to POST the data. However because there was a need to be able to just share a link with someone and see everything they saw, so I had to somehow fit everything into the URL. I can't really go more in depth without divulging some info on the type of data, sorry!
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Yesss... but I don't know how much I can say, so I won't say anything about it besides that it was a very complicated and interesting situation.
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Yeah I think you bring up a good point. I actually meant to write a bit more on the Tech Risk aspect of the business. There's a lot of red tape, and it can be overbearing sometimes. But it is a bank so most of these measures are necessary.
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Yeah a lot of it is Quant Infra, but there's also a lot of internal applications for dealing with different aspects of their consumer facing business. On top of this, there's also a lot tools that are not customer facing and are just to track different aspects of the business and every day operations.
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Yeah it was a lot of fun to get to work on these problems!
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to always remember this

my bad, it's a Gatsby site. Need JS :/
Cybergenik··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
I just tried it on Safari, and it seems to work for me. Maybe try and see if javascript is enabled.

Hi, this is my first post on HackerNews. Been a long time reader, this is my experience from this past summer 2021. Let me know what you guys think!
Cybergenik··on Setting up personal OKR (objectives and key-results)
Leave it to an engineer to automate self improvement by building a complicated system instead of just spending that time doing the improvement. Just how I like it.

This is the start up I work at, we're growing and I think we have something unique!
