VMtest··on Go’s major versioning sucks – From a fanboy
It's a good summary of the problems that exists in any sort of engineering, ultimately, they are actually people's problems
VMtest··on My Stripe Tax Story
So software is a "guarantee" thing already that people can trust in? I wonder how many software engineers will be out of their jobs if that actually happens, we will see
VMtest··on MLOps is a mess but that's to be expected
since the ML hype is here to stay, it's really good in my opinion because investors are constantly pouring more money into the industry

Not sure if this helps, but I bookmarked a relevant thread from the past

VMtest··on Times are great for programmers now. How does it end?
> have intensive training to minimize risk for other persons > I wonder if we are heading to something similar...

We can't, unless there is like one standard CPU architecture, operating system etc for server, desktop, mobile phone with minimal updates....

how much to study and memorize, and about the zero-days..

VMtest··on Imitate, Then Innovate
No wonder they said hacker news is a toxic community

VMtest··on Myopia treatment 'smart glasses' from Japan to be sold in Asia
the funny thing is that, this method that you are trying to call it out as being 'fake', 'quackery', does not allow other people directly earning money from it (indirectly maybe)

it litereally only cost people money to purchase different power of glasses and time and effort to do practices on their eyes

VMtest··on Myopia treatment 'smart glasses' from Japan to be sold in Asia
Your experience is just like @Aulig, I saved his comment from several weeks ago in my notes

VMtest··on Myopia treatment 'smart glasses' from Japan to be sold in Asia
Nobody forces you to follow this method

It's up to you to believe in it or not

I personally haven't had the motivation to do it constantly/all the time

Read this guy @Aulig experience on that method https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29460591

I have checked the video, the result is still not satisfying

this really depends on the developer though....
VMtest··on Quick and dirty way to rip an eBook from Android
Yea, I have even tried to capture a screenshot on a computer with scrcpy before that was not possible in the app that restricts screenshot
VMtest··on Takeaways from looking for a new senior role in tech
you are saying like you are hiring

so you increase your engineers' salaries according to the market rate and they stay for longer than 2 years?

I think a lot of people would like to work under you too, consider leaving your recruitment email here, they will be glad to stay for more than 2 years

VMtest··on Takeaways from looking for a new senior role in tech
look up people that can accomplish a lot in short period of time, at least less than half a year or <2years, like geohot, Alyssa Rosenzweig or Mike Blumenkrantz and more
VMtest··on Against 3x Speed
Anyone can choose to learn new things or not

Until the management starts asking what are the pros and cons of new tools to be introduced into the stack and nobody can answer them, they will hire new experts to join the company and who knows who else is going to be obsolete anyway

VMtest··on Move myself to inactive
Yes, the mailing list is the best regardless
VMtest··on Test your product on a crappy laptop
just throw more cpu at the problem, this is not my idea btw so don't quote me

I learnt it from my colleagues, they are the engineers

VMtest··on The Big DevOps Misunderstanding
> You might say this is just sysops, but I think the key difference is that the dev teams are the ones who are using the production management tools, not the sysops team.

FYI, that is sysops, in case that you missed it

VMtest··on The Big DevOps Misunderstanding
The comments are really a mess

Some people are suggesting to change how DevOps works by going against the definiton of DevOps

In that case, please don't put DevOps in the engineering title anymore

VMtest··on Ask HN: How are you taking care of you eyes?
I couldn't believe what I just read...

What you said is basically what I read 7~8 years ago when I was in my early twenties

I searched and read about this method in a Chinese forum website, zhihu, IIRC. As lazy as I was, I just couldn't be serious with any methods to cure my eyesight

Now that I read your comment on HN, it is actually legit lmao

VMtest··on PHP 8.1.0
Reading some comments here and it does confuse me

Promises, async and await in javascript, coroutines and threads in kotlin, fibers in some language runtime (including this php 8.1 [0]), single process (nodejs), multi-process(php-fpm worker), single-thread, multi-thread, goroutines in go, multi-core coroutines

Googling the definitions and x vs y situation helps a little, the main confusion to me is why some people want this xyz feature in a language runtime and not the other, the pros and cons are seriously so confusing

I have probably used several, like promises, async, await, like others said async would be implement on fibers [1] (is php 8.1 implementation same as V8,spidermonkey,javascriptcore? or any other language runtime). And I have tried to understand kotlin coroutines as well

modern times to run php, people would use php-fpm with nginx, it is running multiple worker (single) process, so why would anyone [2], [3] wants multi-core coroutines in it? What does it even mean?

Writing this out ease my mind a bit yea, need to be able to communicate the confusion instead of just saying "programming is difficult"

VMtest··on iOS zero-day let SolarWinds hackers compromise fully updated iPhones
define programmer, programmer is not software engineer by default

they are exploiting the 'quality' codebase written by your so-called average dev or software engineers

and since when software engineering does not take security into account?
