Danjoe4··on Nevada Governor's office covered up Boring Co safety violations
This is my learned opinion working as a FTE government contractor, as an IC.
Danjoe4··on A graph explorer of the Epstein emails
If you look at this graph and your prescient thought is "haha take that MAGA" then you are a brainwashed ideologue. This graph gives a window into the layers of rot in our political system. The complexity is perfectly represented by its form but it seems like your graph is just a big arrow that says "orange man bad".
Danjoe4··on Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: the story of learned avoidance
No. Science is inherently human-centric. If a line of academic research has no conceivable way of benefitting humans, at least indirectly, it is eventually halted.
Danjoe4··on Mullvad VPN present And Then? (Chat Control is back on the menu)
Better we let 10 criminals go free than violate the god-given right to privacy of 1 innocent.
Danjoe4··on Nevada Governor's office covered up Boring Co safety violations
The government works better the fewer dollars and bureaucrats it has
Danjoe4··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
Yes, just the UK and other similar countries. We have less influence over China and Iran
Danjoe4··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
The UK knows their place. They could do that but they won't. Also, they'll have trouble even finding who the business operator is. The US allows pseudonymous business structures and their subpoena request will be thrown out on a 1st amendment defense.
Danjoe4··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
Nope. US law is international law (because we have all the guns). The UK government would never defy us; they know their place.
Danjoe4··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
That's the current status quo. The UK can't sue you, extradite you, or really do anything. Assuming that your service providers are US based and you follow US law, they can pound sand. In practice, the US is the only country powerful enough to enforce its laws extraterritoriality. The UK trying to enforce its internet laws on me? An American citizen? Funny joke
Danjoe4··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
As if I'm going to comply with any UK laws. They still have the delusion they're some sort of empire. Good luck suing my American company
Danjoe4··on The cryptography behind electronic passports
Go to South Sudan and tell me if you still feel the same way.
Danjoe4··on Using AI to negotiate a $195k hospital bill down to $33k
Quick guys someone make an MCP server with the codes. Fuck em!
Danjoe4··on Diphtheria, a once vanquished killer of children, is resurgent
The probability of COVID causing injury to your child is basically zero
Danjoe4··on How to sequence your DNA for <$2k
Nanopore is good for hybrid sequencing. You can align the higher quality illumina reads against its longer contiguous reads
Danjoe4··on Leaving serverless led to performance improvement and a simplified architecture
This is exactly why I'd rather get a fat VPS from a reputable provider. As long as the bandwidth is sufficient the only limitation is vertical scaling.
Danjoe4··on Financing My Klarna Doritos Locos Taco
Usury is wrong even if it should be obvious to the debtor
Danjoe4··on Svelte’s characteristics that likely contribute most to improved performance
Just drink the Koolaid. I hated the magic files but now I love them
Danjoe4··on A Mac-like experience on Linux
Because those setups are too opinionated and mix too much stuff which makes them unstable. If you want a cohesive desktop experience, Mint Cinnamon is what you're looking for
Danjoe4··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2025)
Location: Anywhere, USA Remote: Sure Willing to relocate: Yes Hook: 3+ years of experience developing petabyte scale genomics ETL pipelines. Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/d-brod Email: me@danb.ro
Danjoe4··on Work is not school: Surviving institutional stupidity
Male instructors are more objective.
Danjoe4··on Claude Code 2.0
I wish the Cline extension was more performant. It has a 1000+ ms startup time for VScode and stutters occasionally. In terms of workflow though, it's my absolute favorite. I simply don't think the models are there yet for fully agentic coding in any reasonably complex/novel codebase. Cline lets me supervise the LLM step by step.
Danjoe4··on Linus Torvalds and the Supposedly "Garbage Code"
> I think Linus should be more respectful of other people

You all need to grow thicker skin. If we're really engineers, we can't dance around criticism. Linus' comment was about the code; he never insulted the developer. If you attach your self worth to the code you write that's your problem.

What would you have him do? Sugarcoat it? "Uh actually sweetie please rework this function it's not quite there".

It's a PR; honest, unbiased feedback on the code (and optionally how to improve it) is the only thing that matters. If the code is garbage then the reviewer needs to say so.

Danjoe4··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
I don't need to. Just look at your immediate surroundings and ask yourself "who are the millionaires responsible for these products I enjoy?". Every component in your phone, computer, the chair in which you sit, the building you are in, the clothes you wear, and the car you drive. As a rule, people get rich because they create things, not because they exploit others. That's how capitalism works and it does work
Danjoe4··on DSM Disorders Disappear in Statistical Clustering of Psychiatric Symptoms (2024)
Psychiatry is loosely based on science and 90% of the drugs they prescribe are net harmful
Danjoe4··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
This isn't investment based citizenship (which yes, has loopholes because you can funnel the profits out of the country). You pay the government directly
Danjoe4··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
Your edge cases don't refute my claim
Danjoe4··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
90% of the time, yes.
Danjoe4··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
This is good. The central claim here is: if you can afford to pay $1 million, then you are almost certainly going to be a net benefit to our society.

That's a far better and more meritocratic vetting process than some lotto visa with a 10 year backlog.

Danjoe4··on The Chrome VRP Panel has decided to award $250k for this report
Bad analogy, but yes actually. This is one reason people buy drugs from illegal online pharmacies - cost. I
Danjoe4··on HRT's Python fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for faster imports
Runtime imports are a maintenance nightmare and can quickly fragment a codebase. Static analysis of imports is so desirable that it is almost always worth the initialization performance hit. Tradeoffs.
