aynyc··on UniFi 5G
My good friend is a network engineer and provider in NYC for decades now, pretty good one at that. Has anyone deployed UniFi in a computer centric professional environment? Just to be more specific a bit, computer centric professional environment means networks and computers are the primary way of getting job done. He hasn't seen any UniFi but his home is all UniFi.
aynyc··on Why are 38 percent of Stanford students saying they're disabled?
That’s just a callous myth.
aynyc··on The RAM shortage comes for us all
Ha! Maybe Javascript developers will finally drop memory usage! You need to display the multiplication table? Please allocate 1GB of RAM. Oh, you want alternate row coloring? Here is another 100MB of CSS to do that.

edit: this is a joke

aynyc··on Why are 38 percent of Stanford students saying they're disabled?
I don't know about Stanford students' actual disability, so I can't say much to that. I went to shitty high school and decent middle school in relatively poor middle class neighborhood. Now, I live in a wealthy school district. The way parents in the two different neighborhood treat "learning disability" is mind blowing.

In my current school district, IEP (Individual Education Program) is assigned to students that need help, and parents are actively and explicitly ask for it, even if the kids are borderline. Please note that, this doesn't take away resource for regular kids, in fact, classrooms with IEP student get more teachers so everyone in that class benefits. IEP students are also assigned to regular classroom so they are not treated differently and their identities aren't top secret. Mind you, the parents here can easily afford additional help if needed.

In other neighborhood, a long time family friend with two young children, the older one doesn't talk in school, period. Their speech is clearly behind. The parents refuse to have the kids assign IEP and insist that as long as the child is not disruptive, there is no reason to do so. Why the parents don't want to get help, because they feel the older child will get labelled and bullied and treated differently. The older child hates school and they are only in kindergarten. Teachers don't know what to do with the child.

aynyc··on The Junior Hiring Crisis
Sorry, flip that number around. 1 in 50 passes the interview.
aynyc··on The Junior Hiring Crisis
> How is them knowing when binary search is useful relevant to what they'll be doing at work should they get hired?

Because of our work is changing, faster than ever, not day to day but over time. You need a foundation to handle that change. My 2X years experience showed me that the people who has strong foundation handle the transition well. If I'm going to hire and invest and mentor, I want that person to be successful.

aynyc··on The Junior Hiring Crisis
I'm gonna get some downvote, but I'll say this. Over the last 10 years, the quality of the juniors trends opposite of salary curve. We don't have a crazy interview process, nor are we working on anything ground breaking. By any measurement, we are a run of the mill company that don't offer top end salary but market competitive. The quality of junior engineers I've interviewed has been abysmal. Maybe because we don't have the name nor the high end salary, or maybe our recruiting firms and HR suck in general. My no-hire/hire ratio is literally 50:1. Most of them can't even answer basic computer science questions such as under what condition that a binary search is useful, what's the difference between NoSQL database and relational database, or converting binary to decimal, etc.. They all talk about cloud and distributed computing, etc..
aynyc··on 1GB Raspberry Pi 5, and memory-driven price rises
I don't really blame them, but my question is, if ram price goes down, will RPI drop its prices? My experience with other companies is no.
aynyc··on DIY NAS: 2026 Edition
I did some shopping recently, the market is very weird right now. Given the pricing of hardware recently, pre-built NAS now is actually on par pricing wise for DIY.
aynyc··on DIY NAS: 2026 Edition
You actually want reliable MB & RAM to ensure data doesn't get corrupted in memory first. Since you have various ways of writing data to disks that offer you resiliency.
aynyc··on Ask HN: What is the current state of the art in BIG (>5TB) cloud backups?
Doesn't it still need a public relay server? I understand that's nitpicking, since even with tailscale, I need someone in the cloud to handle the IPs.
aynyc··on Ask HN: What is the current state of the art in BIG (>5TB) cloud backups?
I was actually talking to my dad the other day. He asked me if there is a way for him to replicate his hard drive to me without touching cloud providers. The contents are family photos & videos, plus paperwork. I couldn't find a simple solution.
aynyc··on AI is a front for consolidation of resources and power
A bit of sarcasm, but I think it's porn.
aynyc··on Why Jamie Dimon is warning of 'cockroaches' in the US economy
Most if not all of them are the result of financial engineering, rather than badly run companies. Guess who enables that type of shenanigans?
aynyc··on Qualcomm to acquire Arduino
I'm pretty it was sarcasm. Qualcomm is known for shitty docs.
aynyc··on U.S. Lost 32,000 Private-Sector Jobs in September, Says Payroll Processor
Don't worry, it'll revised to +50,000 soon! /s
aynyc··on Senators try to halt shuttle move, saying "little evidence" of public demand
Yes, but it's more of theatrics for the masses. Whoever DOGE is now have sensitive data on just about every Americans. With that, you can plan your next 10 years.
aynyc··on Senators try to halt shuttle move, saying "little evidence" of public demand
DOGE was a data grab by private parties, nothing more.
aynyc··on Apple HomeKit – The Long Con
I honestly don't understand the surprised sentiment in the blog. Are we that naive to think that Apple/XXX won't do this?
aynyc··on What if I don't want videos of my hobby time available to the world?
Clearly, author needs to work on their camouflage skill like John Cena.
aynyc··on Ask HN: Where can I genetically test myself without risking privacy?
All of them need to follow HIPAA. That's as close to a protection as you can get right now.
aynyc··on Ask HN: Where can I genetically test myself without risking privacy?
no, not in the sense of total privacy. Outside of that, I would at least go with someone that's HIPAA compliance. Your doctor probably is the shortest path.
aynyc··on Ask HN: What Is Your Hobby?
Unless you count netflix or social media doom scrolling as a hobby, our old idea of hobbies are in decline because people are busy making a living.

Cooking is sort of my everyday hobby, climbing & skiing are my weekend/seasonal hobbies.

aynyc··on UK launches Project Octopus to deliver interceptor drones to Ukraine
I'm slowly starting to think that NATO/EU is using Ukraine as a trench war test ground. Ukraine right now needs to invest in offensive capability, not defensive capability. If they don't bring the war to Russia in full scale, it'll never end.

In simplest term, it's like your neighbor parks their car on your driveway, you get police to issue fines, or maybe even get it towed. But your neighbor has money, so they keep paying fines, etc.. Your whole neighborhood supports you, so they would call the cops for you, go to town hall and all of that. In the end, you'll never win and get your parking space back. The only way is to park your and all your supporters' cars in their driveway, give them a taste of their own medicine.

aynyc··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
It's irony.
aynyc··on 'Block Everything' protests sweep across France, scores arrested
That's the issue with your post because you don't even understand the issue isn't an economical but a social. Again, don't pretend you know what you are talking about because of tiktok.
aynyc··on 'Block Everything' protests sweep across France, scores arrested
You'll have to pardon my French /s. Economic model only works in theory.
aynyc··on 'Block Everything' protests sweep across France, scores arrested
Is the current situation in US sustainable? I don't see it. But again, we said the same for Japan for the last 3 decades and they still seem fine.
aynyc··on 'Block Everything' protests sweep across France, scores arrested
All I know is this. People keep on saying the economic model of what the French people want isn't sustainable. Is the US model sustainable? From all accounts, nope. So what do we do? Go back to communism?

The funny part is, regardless of which social, cultural or economic model you want, the one that everyone hate is the inequality.
