Gonzih··on Ask HN: Starting over after business failure
Take a break, take care of yourself. Be careful with energy levels and then you will know when is the right time and what you want to do.
Gonzih··on AI can detect coronavirus from CT scans in twenty seconds
I think this is the case when false positives and false negatives can do a lot of harm, so in human review of CT scan is a must. Especially if we consider how small dataset this model is trained on.
Gonzih··on The End of the IPO as We Know It?
Article provides really some terrible examples of IPOs that failed. All of those companies were unable to deliver revenue even close to what were asummed during private investement rounds. System is not broken and it punishes disfunctiinal businesses pretty well.
Gonzih··on Fuchsia Programming Language Policy
Oh it saddens me so much that Rust is not approved for kernel development, oh well.
Gonzih··on Share your screen on Zoom with ultrasound
Software that already is listening has more vectors of attack to put it simply. I'm not a fan of features that compromise privacy and security for the sake of convenience.
Gonzih··on Share your screen on Zoom with ultrasound
Until software is compromised or simply has a bug that stream audio somewhere.
Gonzih··on Share your screen on Zoom with ultrasound
So does that mean that software will always have mic on?
Gonzih··on Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2020?
Empathy, patience, understanding.
Gonzih··on Ask HN: Are books worth it?
I got advice on reading long time ago that helped me a lot: "Start reading what you like until you start liking to read". And yes, books are the best source of any information that has to be digested by you. Its very personal journey not biased by other who might digested this for you (like blogs or podcasts). Its important to learn how to understand and digest things rather than consume and reproduce thoughts of others.
Gonzih··on Big Pile of Vim-Like
Surprised that there is no fish shell in shell section. Also I miss pentadactly in my Firefox so much nowadays.
Gonzih··on Ubiquiti adds phone-home to the access point firmware
It amazes me that in some cases brand love can overpower common sense. When OP concerned about privacy and security is told by loyal brand users to "give it up". I wonder if companies realize power of blind brand loyalty and utilize this to their own advantage.
Gonzih··on Ubiquiti adds phone-home to the access point firmware
In my experience analytics usually become a hot topic in product group of the company when product evolution stop. We did all the major features but we still need growth, so to pick new direction we need some insight on our users.
Gonzih··on What is a ket? How do traits work? Quantum computing in Rust, part 1
Oh thats pretty cool, wanted to subscribe to rss/atom feed for a followup blog posts, but cant find any feed link. I hope i wont miss future posts in series.
Gonzih··on Snap: A Microkernel Approach to Host Networking
looks like certificate for ai.google expired today, what a coincidence!
Gonzih··on Regarding Last Weekend’s Hearthstone Grandmasters Tournament
I feel like this is Activision and not Blizzard talking.
Gonzih··on Epic CEO says it won't ban Fortnite players for taking a stance on human rights
Is that the same company that recently was in the news due to brutal workloads and work hours?
Gonzih··on Yaegi – Yet Another Go Interpreter
Ah, this famous REPL driven development. After which we are left with highly coupled codebase that has almost no tests. After doing clojure for 6+ years I forced myself at some point to disable REPL, it allows one to go fast in short term and creates way too much debt long term.

Nowadays I find repl driven approach to be not so sustainable for mid to large sizes of teams.

It is fun on small/personal projects though.

Gonzih··on Ask HN: Are Lucene/Solr/ES Still Used for Search?
Yes. They might not look trendy anymore, but they are still heavily used in the industry. I constantly see in the industry use cases where sold or ES would be much better choice, but those options are simply ignored because they are rarely visible at the top of tech publications.
Gonzih··on Chinese developers fear the tech war will cost them access to GitHub
Lots of languages do use github as centralized dependency service. This is scary.
Gonzih··on Docker Hub Hacked – 190k accounts, GitHub tokens revoked, builds disabled
It saddens me that docker hub is still lacking FIDO or any 2FA support.
Gonzih··on Google unveils Stadia cloud gaming service
I hope this service will not be shut down like google reader or google+ after google fails to capture high large chunk of the market.
Gonzih··on Ten people arrested in Gujarat for allegedly playing banned game PUBG
> the ban was necessary as these games were leading to violent behaviour among children and youth

Ah another claim that video games cause violence not backed by any sciecific data.

Gonzih··on Ask HN: Tools or sites you use to scope out a workplace before taking a job?
I saw some time ago that companies were dropping negative reviews by changing company name on glassdoor
Gonzih··on Ask HN: Can companies ask for private info before any interview/offer?
I never saw an employer asking for IBAN. Feels shady to me.
Gonzih··on Ask HN: How do you organize everything you want to do?
I have a trello board with all personal ideas/projects. New idea? Write it down. Have some spare time? Do some work on one of the ideas/project. Trick is to optimize setup on anything you do in the way that it takes seconds to start working. For that you have to know an overview of what needs to be done and setup process should be as painless as possible.

Hardest for me in that regard are hardware projects. I don't really have any dedicated hardware workbench. So every time I have to get all my boxes out, all my equipment (soldering station, meeters, etc) and then pack it back. Which usually means I don't have enough time to do actual work.

Gonzih··on MailChimp deleted my account with no warning
Mailchimp disabled my account the other day without any clealr explanation on why. Seems to me like some automation went wrong on their side.
Gonzih··on Chinese hi-tech researchers ‘told not to travel to US unless it’s essential’
This is a thing not just in China based organizations. A lot of hi-tech companies around the world have clause in a contract that does not allow any employees to traves to US while carrying anything containing IP of a company or discourage employees from traveling to US altogether.
Gonzih··on Google's cross-platform Flutter UI toolkit goes 1.0
I did a small app in flutter last week out of curiosity (fetching rss/atom feeds, rendering html content) and was surprised how easy it was to work with tooling that flutter provides. Also was pleasant surprised on how well Dart fits in to this use case. Go flutter!
