aiisjustanif··on Trump wins presidency for second time
That is contrarian to democrats giving more support historically unions and putting laws in place to raise the wealth and social support of lower income citizens. Think of Medicare in 1965, Social Security and the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, and the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Residential Homeownership Act of 1990
aiisjustanif··on M4 MacBook Pro
When is the last time you tried it? I did yesterday and outside of Activision and some EA games it’s great.
aiisjustanif··on Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Mistake
This is not the case in the US.
aiisjustanif··on New York Times tech workers union votes to authorize a strike
I think it is absurd that people imply that highly skilled individuals do not unionize or should never.
aiisjustanif··on New York Times tech workers union votes to authorize a strike
That is from 2017 and focuses on 3 European countries only.

Depends on what the responsibilities of your lowest managers are.
aiisjustanif··on Zuckerberg claims regret on caving to White House pressure on content
> Borrowing against your assets might make mathematical sense, but I think it’s kind of stupid to burden yourself with that kind of debt.

Only for the little man

aiisjustanif··on Microsoft technical breakdown of CrowdStrike incident
Crowdstrike is not an anti-virus solution though.

I have noticed this too at my company, do we have any web articles or other references to this being a growing trend?
aiisjustanif··on Courts Close the Loophole Letting the Feds Search Your Phone at the Border
This is great but if you were to state this case when asked to search your phone, they can still deny entry or detain you regardless.
aiisjustanif··on The CrowdStrike Failure Was a Warning
Compliance is one thing but a cybersecurity incident response team is very blind without an EDR not to mention you would have less protection from insider threat.
aiisjustanif··on The CrowdStrike Failure Was a Warning
This completely ignores security incident response entirely. I don’t think removing the tools that slow or prevent a hack is the answer. I think it is unfair to call it crap if you have not dealt with security incidents.

Of all the lessons that could be learned from this, I think this not the best one. We don’t call for everyone to go back to having their own datacenter because AWS had a massive outage.

aiisjustanif··on A bunch of programming advice I'd give to myself 15 years ago
I really liked “You should know all the major shortcuts in your editor. You should be a confident and fast typist. You should know your OS well. You should be proficient in the shell. You should know how to use the browser dev tools effectively.”

Typing skills are severely underrated in order to professions and roles adject to our professions like PM.

aiisjustanif··on Innovation heroes are a sign of a dysfunctional organization
I still blame the management here for not building a team where quality and foresight matter enough to avoid large messes.

Trust from management isn’t all that is needed for good work to be accomplished, good managers of software development also should not shockingly know good software development.

I swear software and tech related roles are one of the few places where the managers don’t also know how to do the job of their reports.

Could have spent that time more wisely by making a better graph that accounts for this…
aiisjustanif··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
Interesting that Arc Browser is reason enough to switch from windows or Linux. I see a people love it, but it doesn’t do well for my ADHD brain.
aiisjustanif··on Amber: Programming language compiled to Bash
Because the project might require a script that is delivered to many Linux servers with less dependencies and not having to install a new language.
aiisjustanif··on 'Right to roam' movement fights to give the commons back to the public
The article is about England not the US, where there are already different laws for this and land has not been seized because that would be crazy.

Also you would already see many areas that people can roam that are private properties especially in the midlands.

aiisjustanif··on Fewer U.S. scientists are pursuing postdoc positions, new data show
> getting paid like $50k-$70k/year with basically dead end jobs

$50 - 70k would be nice, but we’ve seen lower in some states

aiisjustanif··on Claude 3 beats GPT-4 on Aider's code editing benchmark
> It is still remarkably better than working with junior developers.

Definitely not all junior developers. I have yet to see it do well at handling code migrations, updating APIs, writing end to end tests, and front end code changes with existing UX specifications to name a few things.

aiisjustanif··on Boeing whistleblower found dead in US
Closed court proceeding, lawyers only, and a jury of peers to know they exist then with enough proof without naming them.
aiisjustanif··on Self-control signals and affords power
> you can't lie your way to lifelong power and fuck you money because eventually people figure you out, your reputation plummets and then you have less power and less opportunity to make money.

Surely we do have very notable exceptions to this.

Beneficial for shared presentations
aiisjustanif··on You are what you love
I just really don’t need kids or my job to find something I love.
aiisjustanif··on Plastic bag bans work
You do realize you are in Hacker News, where we believe science and evidence are ever changing things and that innovations do exist?
aiisjustanif··on Plastic bag bans work
All of that channels your emotions in a negative way. Carrying reusable bags and straws really isn’t that difficult let’s be honest, we carry around other things.
aiisjustanif··on Finance worker pays out $25M after video call call with deepfake CFO
Zoom has MFA, including YubiKey.
aiisjustanif··on I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy
