hartator··on European military personnel arrive in Greenland as Trump says US needs island
Yes, it seems almost counter-productive.
hartator··on Iran is likely jamming Starlink
I candidly thought it wasn’t possible to block Starlink.

I guess with motivated actors anything is possible.

hartator··on Allow me to introduce, the Citroen C15
> CAPACITY: C15: 2.6m³ Ranger: 1.8m³ Discovery: 0.8m³

I mean this is excluding beds. C15 doesn't have one.

hartator··on Start your meetings at 5 minutes past
Seems a mismanagement issue - making sure everyone is on time - transformed into a calendar scheme.

If you can’t tell people to stop being late, you are not doing your job as a manager.

hartator··on European Commission issues call for evidence on open source
Do you mean paying EU taxes for doing open-source? :)
hartator··on Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time
I think the disallowing of “controversial” technical questions might have helped as much as the AI boom.

So frustrating to be reading a deeply interesting technically and intense debate to be closed down by an admin.

hartator··on Overconsumption is a spiritual problem
Yeah, they literally just cleaned their room and the immediatly jumped on a conclusions for external “you” moralistic.
hartator··on Stop crawling my HTML – use the API
Yeah, I don’t get it either. Someone trying AI to mass reply?
hartator··on Stop crawling my HTML – use the API
If API doesn’t have the data you want, this point is moot.
hartator··on Using e-ink tablet as monitor for Linux
There are directly ekink monitors now.

Dasung 13k color is workable-ish even on MacOS with no tweaks.

hartator··on Rivian Unveils Custom Silicon, R2 Lidar Roadmap, and Universal Hands Free
I think the shift to EV is inevitable.
hartator··on Deprecations via warnings don't work for Python libraries
I think they are misreading the situation.

The devil is in the details. It seems `getHeaders` v. `headers` is non-security, non-performance related issue. Why people should spend time fixing these?

hartator··on Size of Life
Always awesome with by Neal.
hartator··on Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain
I don’t dislike the forever battery and the value proposition, however voice memos never appealed to me?

The obvious voice commands that work only half of the time, can’t voice memo in bed with your parters, in the office, or in public. That leaves very limited opportunities for this to be useful.

hartator··on Schizophrenia sufferer mistakes smart fridge ad for psychotic episode
The actual ad: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/s/YD4vBNXfLY

Too bad for the backslash, it’s a great show.

hartator··on Transparent leadership beats servant leadership
> Teach a man to to fish

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish… and you feed yourself. He’s a grown man. And fishing’s not that hard.”

hartator··on Response to "Ruby Is Not a Serious Programming Language"
> dispassionate discussion of how different language features impact code quality

I think we can start disagreeing here.

The metrics shouldn't be solely code quality, but also simplicity, readability, and how fast you can express yourself in it.

Code quality will go up the more language friction you add: types, "one way" of doing things, and function-oriented programming. Same code in a language with heavy types and strict functions will be of course "more solid". However, it will take 10x the time to write, be less flexible, and harder to understand.

hartator··on Dark Mode Sucks
I think I disagree.

Just correctly executing on color scheme is a lot of work. It seems obvious that 2 themes will be 2x the work.

There is a lot of images that will require 2x the work if you want to it correctly. Let’s say screenshots of an UI in a tutorial.

hartator··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
The main thing is everyone seems to hate reading someone else ChatGPT while we are still eager to share ours to others as it’s some sort of oracle.
hartator··on Dark Mode Sucks
I think providing both a light and dark mode is overkill, lead to odd bugs, and some weird color combinations. A lot of eng time lost here.
hartator··on The peaceful transfer of power in open source projects
Non-profit entity has usually more drama. And, you can still be “dictator” of a non-profit.
hartator··on Ruby 4.0.0 Preview2
Yes, specially ZJIT is news to me.
hartator··on How when AWS was down, we were not
Interesting how engineers like to nerd out about SLAs, but never claim or issue credits when something does occur.
hartator··on Being poor vs. being broke
> never see my wife? My kids?

It seems you have what matters man.

hartator··on New study finds users are marrying and having virtual children with AI chatbots
You rather have AI relationships instead of actual kids?
hartator··on New study finds users are marrying and having virtual children with AI chatbots
Would you have been concerned if he said the plush was his new friend? Calling policy makers to ban plush?

You have to be careful to not overreact to things.

hartator··on Europe converged rapidly on the United States before stagnating
> As an American, all I’m trying to do is get rich enough to move to Europe someday.

Why not directly work in the EU?

hartator··on The Parallel Search API
Congrats on the launch!
hartator··on Show HN: Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)
You should try making this.

What about CT-SCAN contrast?
