artogahr··on "Please just use plain English, I don't understand what you're saying."
I looked into it a bit more, and while it does look helpful in the first glance, it actually isn't a good fit for code. It's very aviation-terminology-focused.

A better guide would be something like Google Developer Style Guide

Interesting story I thought more of the folks here might want to see. For some more context, see two levels up from the comment I shared: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44681816
artogahr··on Ask HN: Does sentience put stress on the brain?
Yes, that's the one, I was being sarcastic.
artogahr··on Ask HN: Does sentience put stress on the brain?
Disclaimer: I'm not a researcher in this topic and I have no idea what I'm talking about, just putting my thoughts here

I think that depends on how you define stress? The brain is all electrical signals, so from this simplistic point of view there shouldn't be such thing as "stress", but from my understanding the connections, even though electrical, produce chemical by-products which have to be "flushed away" by the gray matter. This and just human experience suggests brain can get "tired".

However, I don't think the societal problems throughout history had much relevance to the individual stress brains my experience, but more caused by cognitive dissonance when you try to put two conscious beings together, as every brain is different so produces different outputs to same input. Additionally, we still are very much driven by our animal instincts, even though we like to pretend we've "ascended" and have free will.

Now the question is, where can we evolve from here? What evolutionary pressure is there to evolve? We've pretty much peaked as lifeforms, we can dominate any and every environment we want to the point of being detrimental to the Earth itself.

Also this highly scientific documentary I re-watched recently called "Idiocracy (2006)" suggests that higher brain function doesn't necessarily increase the chance of passing genes along, and I tend to agree.

artogahr··on What Every Engineer Should Know About Computer Networks
Now that I'm doing DevOps mostly these days, I wanted to at least put my experience from the Network Engineering days to some use. One thing I noticed constantly is that basic networking knowledge is lacking in otherwise great engineers more often than I'd like to see. Therefore, this is my attempt at an introduction article that aims to be accessible to everyone :)

artogahr··on Things unexpectedly named after people (2020)
People in Turkey definitely don't use X-ray, they use Röntgen. Same for Azerbaijan.
artogahr··on Zuck on the Apple Vision Pro
I was just recently trying to set up Quest 2 with Linux. You have to enable dev mode and sideload an app called ALVR on it, and the PC. Wireless streaming works but not great fidelity. Doesn't support Wayland.

On Windows - Download the official Quest app, everything works OOB

artogahr··on Show HN: JellyBox – Jellyfin Desktop Client
Neither Firefox nor Chrome support H.265 hw-accelerated decoding, and I don't want to use Edge. Using the app is a guarantee that I don't have to worry about the codec compatibility. I know it's an "Electron app so basically browser", but it's not, everything just works in the official Desktop app.
artogahr··on A half-hour to learn Rust (2020)
Your videos (and by extension you) are awesome and have been one of the biggest motivations for me learning Rust and continuing programming. Thank you.
artogahr··on The Future of the Vim Project
I don't have a paper I can cite you, however if you talk to vim users most will tell you they feel more efficient and less friction compared to "normal" way of editing code. There's a reason this program is so popular and there are vim keybindings for any popular editor, after all.
artogahr··on The Future of the Vim Project
The point is you don't remember them, they become second nature, intuition, and you just sort of... do it without thinking. Assuming you've given time to learn it, editing with vim takes less mental effort and is faster.
artogahr··on Ask HN: How to give a crash course on Git?
I've done this to my fellow university students a few times.

What I've found is when teaching topics like this, is to start with "why git" instead of "how to git". Giving people a baseboard for them to rest their newfound knowledge helps a lot later on.

artogahr··on Thunderbird 115
Because I like all my email in one place basically. I don't want to hunt for tabs whenever I'm looking for specific mail account, mentally all my mail is behind one icon separate from my browser, and they all look and work the same.

Also maybe not Gmail but aside from that IMHO Thunderbird offers better UX than all other browser mail apps.

At that scale it should be trivial to self host a server with a static IP that confirms the ownership. Make the server IP on the tractor password protected or smth. Modern tractors are internet connected anyway.

artogahr··on Framework announces AMD, new Intel gen, 16“ laptop and more
I understand the supply concerns, but in the future please consider a glossy display as default option (even if just in the DIY edition). It seems wasteful to have to buy matte display only to replace with a glossy one. A lot of people in the monitors community hate matte displays and actively avoid buying devices with them.
