arkitaip··on How fast are Linux pipes anyway?
The visual design is amazing.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
I am not a recruiter but if I was and couldn't do my job without taking insane shortcuts that result in subpar recruiting, I would at least admit how broken the process is and try to look at the state of the art for some sanity.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
The entire screening process is broken when recruiters try to find any and all reasons - or negative signals as you call them - to skip over candidates. Who knows how many amazing talents are skipped over due to trivial issues in their application process.
arkitaip··on My Favorite Liar (2008)
The purpose of great lectures isn't to regurgitate what is readily available in the literature or slides but to give students an opportunity to Q&A the parts which they don't understand.
arkitaip··on Russian troops are proving that cell phones in war zones are a bad idea
It's hilarious and terrifying that Putin had a less accurate understanding of the capabilities of the Russian military than most world leaders due to the insanely corrupt and fear-based society he has created.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Why is Google Premium not a thing?
No but the value they extraxt from millions of advertisers is much higher.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: How do you handle hard to cancel subscriptions/donations?
Shame them publicly on social media.
arkitaip··on Microsoft Is Adding a Free VPN to the Edge Browser
"The support page explains how Secure Network is a free service, but data use is limited to 1GB per month"

So actually it's not free at all and probably a way to sell more subscriptions.

arkitaip··on The lowly page number
This really is annoying. Maybe the solution is a smarter PDF reader that can detect the printed page numbers and use that for its own numbering?
arkitaip··on How does your remote team beat burnout?
50 people sounds like a crazy amount for a team. The amount of management required for coordination and communication must be crazy.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Which features are you looking for a small e-commerce?
I would just use Shopify for a fraction of the headache and be done with it. Selling Go as your USP to small business owners is insanity.
arkitaip··on I'm tired of Google's business products
Microsoft Office+Outlook+Teams is some of the worst software I've recently used. Poorly designed and poorly integrated with tons of overlapping functionality cracks where productivity goes to die.
arkitaip··on Elon Musk is sued by shareholders over delay in disclosing Twitter stake
Musk' companies regularly engage in anti labour practices [0] to save a couple of dollars per employee and you don't think he would worry about a "few" hundred million dollars? Also, he isn't spending time in court, his lawyers are.

arkitaip··on Always tell kids the truth (2019)
You only need to be around kids for a few minutes to realize why we are so flawed as human beings and why some of us fail to learn even the most basic life lessons.
arkitaip··on Where Americans get their news and who they trust for information
Hilarious that almost 50% don't trust the Weather Channel - WHY?!
arkitaip··on Tell HN: Google search for “TeRraQin” does not exist
I get the proper search results despite the terrible name.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Find a topic-specific professional to answer questions on a paid basis?
Find 3d modeling forums, identify the super productive and helpful people (= 3D skills and experience + teaching skills), recruit them.
arkitaip··on Everything – locate files and folders by name instantly
Everything also beats the built-in Windows search when it comes to searching through text files by having the 'content:' operator. Combine it with a specific folder path and you get even faster and accurate searches.
arkitaip··on I Don’t Care What Google or Apple or Whoever Did
I used to work in e-com and it was incredibly common to look at Amazon for inspiration and design implementation. Crazy considering how complex Amazon's business and user needs are.
arkitaip··on Show HN: I made a 90s version of my landing page
Fun and a brilliant little marketing campaign too.
arkitaip··on As Elden Ring hits 12m copies sold, AAA game publishers have lessons to learn
The most difficult part of FromSoftware's success formula to replicate is their... success. Like creating masterpiece after masterpiece that has earned them a reputation of being one of the very best game studios on the planet. Even if you have never played one of their games you've heard of them and their exceptional quality. The trust that their customers have in them is impossible to buy or replicate.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Local Tools for Viewing JSON
The UX is mediocre due to their refusal to add GUI elements we've had since the 80s because the product can't be allowed to compete against Visual Studio.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Local Tools for Viewing JSON
VS Code has lots of plugins for working with JSON. The only problem is that you have to use VS Code.
arkitaip··on Vimeo: “We are a B2B solution, not the indie version of YouTube.”
"Nobody ever got fired for choosing Vimeo" isn't a thing.
arkitaip··on Vimeo: “We are a B2B solution, not the indie version of YouTube.”
Vimeo is dying. There is no way they can stay afloat abusing their tiny and shrinking user base with an increasingly exorbitant pricing.
arkitaip··on Minimal Viable Product is old and busted
> What is there to be careful of MVP as a strategy? Well, to start, I don’t think MVP works. The risk is you’re going to build something and nobody will come (or stay), and then you’ll run out of money.

MVPs don't exist in a vacuum, they are part of a larger effort to figure out your business model (what is the actual problem? Who are your customers? How will you make money?) in the most efficient way possible. For a MVP to make sense, you have to do user research and truly understand the problem domain.

> Your company shouldn’t be in search of a business model, you should know what you need to build.

This is wishful thinking. Tons of products and companies fail simply because founders think they "know" what their business model is when in fact it's just a bunch of unverified assumptions about the market.

arkitaip··on CEO demanded all employees return full-time to the office. Only half showed up
But whatever setup they've had has been working for two years...
arkitaip··on Face-to-face interaction enhances learning, innovation
Calling it face-to-face interaction is confusing when it is actually about the perspective at which a student observes the actions of a teacher.
arkitaip··on Don't ask to ask, just ask (2019)
It's a dark pattern designed to drive fake engagement.
arkitaip··on Why is there a TikTok tracking pixel on UberEats what is this crap?
"I don't know why you are upset that I'm stabbing you when I've been poisoning your all these years ha ha ha".
