hasa··on Show HN: Klaus – OpenClaw on a VM, batteries included
I get impression that this is automation tool for sales people. Does it do robotic phone calls to try to book meetings with customers?
hasa··on Feed the bots
I thought it was a bot
hasa··on Sequence diagrams, the only good thing UML brought to software development
I remember times in 90's when we planned a software system in UML powered tool called Rational Rose. Oh my god its was clumsy and slow process. But yes, sequence diagrams are very useful tool.
hasa··on Align Your Latents: High-Resolution Video Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Models
That guitar teddybear sample clearly played Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Scuttle Buttin'". Good taste for music!
hasa··on Was there a tech-hiring bubble? Job postings data suggest so
I love this comment. But this phenomena of first world problems and whiners spreads to whole western civilisation (I'm part of it).
hasa··on SHA-3 Buffer Overflow
It may be dumb question, but is there any realistic use case to use this vulnerability to reveal SHA-3 hashed secrets? Or is it just that attacker can crash systems with suitable input?
hasa··on DigitalOcean Functions: A powerful serverless computing solution
New way to get vendor locked architecture?
hasa··on Frugal Computing (2021)
No one has yet mentioned bitcoin?
hasa··on Climate change: IPCC report is 'code red for humanity'
We should reduce pollution, not panic about weather. Seas are full of plastic and organic waste, dry land too, rain forests are burned down to make more field. I don't claim that human would not affect to climate, but it is extremely difficult to prove statistically when the data we have is something like 100 years from the full 5 billion years of existence of earth. How can you take all factors into account in this kind of statistical analysis?
hasa··on SAML Is Insecure by Design
I feel that all authentication standards are bloated. Maybe there are reasons why they are like that.
hasa··on The rise of never-ending job interviews
Actually I agree with you as I would not be able to program much without Google today. But many reported here about interview situations where they had like white paper and task to develop something. It is something they never face in real work.
hasa··on The rise of never-ending job interviews
I developed software professionally over 20 years and I get impression that I would not have survived any of these interviews. I remember the times in 90's when I had most of the Java classes & methods in my "working memory", but after that came syntax helpers and search engines. That ruined whole concept of programming with just text editor. I don't know if anyone else has similar experiences.
hasa··on Java 16
OMG I'm old. I thought that Java 9 would be next version.
hasa··on Gigantic jet spied from black hole in early universe
How can the jet length to be determined? In my very limited understanding jet is a continuous stream of particles/radiation. Doesn't it continue forever, unless the flow hits some barrier?
hasa··on Goodbye MongoDB, Hello PostgreSQL (2015)
I still feel somewhat that Mongo is blamed for things that it is not supposed to do. Removing millions of records surely is not a usecase that Mongo is comfortable with. Or if you absolutely need a schema to protect developer doing silly things, then traditional relational database is surely way to go. Mongo is superbly quick to serve read-heavy applications. I did one project with Mongo & Sinatra and the app was able to reach high transaction/second rates compared to the hardware stack it was running on. Of course we faced issues to design trustworthy design for very high scaling. I think it is one culprit with Mongo, sharding and things. But anyway, we as developers and architects, just need to have right tools for the task we try to solve!
hasa··on Honda's now selling the first production car with level 3 self-driving
Why don't we have automated roads instead. Containers running in scheduled slots.
hasa··on Ask HN: Startup employees getting nothing after acquisition, is this normal?
Options for employees are typically worth of nothing. I've seen sad stories of stupid+greedy employees who have taken huge loans to buy them and lost serious amount of money.
hasa··on Problems with AI-based monitoring startups (2018)
If fundamentally unscaling signed linked list is worth to lift up here, there are perhaps plenty of other things to be mentioned as new.
hasa··on Management by metrics leads us astray
Much boils down to the question about the quality of the metrics. In my work they are just numbers that are manipulated to look good so that everyone gets their bonuses and the bosses are happy.
hasa··on GitHub blocks entire company because one employee was in Iran
SAP user here... not that I liked it :)
hasa··on My Google Traffic Has Fallen to Zero
I'm in impression that a data scientist would have lot of potential job offers to places where he/she could generate real added value and get paid well for that. Am I wrong?
hasa··on Jetbrains founders turn billionaires without VC help
Why would anybody need tons of money? They have a working company, happy customers and perhaps happy enough employees too. And I'm sure they have salary big enough to pay the rent... and drive a Porsche if they want to.
hasa··on Zero-click, wormable, cross-platform remote code execution in Microsoft Teams
Sharepoint has tortured people 17 years and still it sucks. I had unfortunate privilege back in 2003 to be involved to many "intranet" projects to customize the Sharepoint to customers needs. That was horrible from the technical point of view.

By enough marketing power you can sell almost anything.

hasa··on I Am Not Fat
If I were him, I'd just start walking (in addition to fixing the eating habits). One can put "all in" also in walking. Walk until your feet are bleeding :)
hasa··on Leaf-cutter ants have rocky crystal armor, never before seen in insects
I did the same but I would not call it battle. It was like feeding lions with human slaves during Roman empire.
hasa··on The Case Against More Ethanol (2016)
Why is ethanol bad? We generate it from biowaste in Europe.
hasa··on Alcoa 50k ton forging press
New tool for Hydraulic Press youtube channel
hasa··on Hubble Captures Crisp New Image of Jupiter and Europa
There are many very likely scenarios making this planet unhabitable: asteroid, black hole coming near solar system and moving planet distances, gamma ray burst, any deviation in sun's radiation. All these are clearly possible and likely to happen in the long run.
hasa··on Show HN: Compile Ruby to C
The amount of new languages and "the absolute best framework" makes me think that big enterprises should never leave Java. Fancy project written on a newest tech is legacy before it is published. Scary from the business point of view. Disclaimer: I love Ruby.
hasa··on Hubble Captures Crisp New Image of Jupiter and Europa
This is true. Instead of competing against each other, we -I mean all nations and individuals - should do something to support efforts so that humans can some day escape this planet. Earth is not habitable forever.
