heromal··on Don't ask to ask, just ask
Exactly. Please stop saying "hi" and waiting for a response, just say what you need in the first message. This is a great template.

heromal··on Sam Altman Seeks Trillions of Dollars to Reshape Business of Chips and AI
From the very answer ChatGPT gave you, it's evident that GP is saying that current success does not imply future success, using that company as an example. What needs elaboration?
heromal··on Tech layoffs hurt Gen Z job prospects, could backfire for big tech
That doesn't make sense. Deliberate training to reach a goal sounds like the opposite of lucking into achieving a goal to me.
heromal··on I strive to be a 0.1x Engineer (2016)
I had a recruiter ask me a few days ago, on behalf of the HM, how many lines of code I've written in my career. I told him that's a very weird question, and said nothing else. Needless to say, they're passing on me.
heromal··on White House deletes tweet after Twitter adds 'context' note
Yeah, but that does nothing on Reddit. Those "politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements" are already highly upvoted there.
heromal··on Starlink to start “deprioritizing” traffic after 1TB monthly
CoD, 2k,and Ark Survival, sure, but VERY few games are 200gb
heromal··on Startup engineering hiring anti-patterns (2021)
Would you mind expanding upon this "80/20" idea, please?
heromal··on Tech Salaries in 2022: Why the Six Figure Pay Makes Techies Feel Underpaid
Entry level jobs in NC start at 75k...you're way out of the loop. They haven't been 30k anywhere in far longer than "a few years back".
heromal··on Stripe responds to the Financial Connections/Plaid kerfuffle
Mint doesn't use Plaid, it uses Intuit's API since the acquisition.

heromal··on Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
Well, it's simple. BILLIONAIRES BAD. Do you get it now?
heromal··on Snapchat’s product is booming
There's a whole world out there outside of the HN neckbeard tech bubble.
heromal··on Snapchat’s product is booming
The problem is you don't know in 2012 that these are the two options. Obviously no one with the power of foresight is going to choose option B, so I don't get what point you think you're making.
heromal··on Snapchat’s product is booming
Remove social group and you've got it right. These neckbeards only have themselves.
heromal··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
Damn, get the body bag
heromal··on Crypto is an unproductive bubble
> So, all I have been able to gather from all of this is that YC/HN remains incredibly ignorant of what Bitcoin and crypto avails, and will draw conclusions based more on that ignorance then take the time to actually look into what is actually taking place.

And yet, you people think crypto is seriously going to "catch on" for the average person? I'm sorry, but "you need a certain IQ to understand Rick and M- I mean crypto!" isn't going to magically make crypto useful at all. The fact that crypto people have to go into long tirades full of technical jargon just to answer the question "Why?" tells the whole story.

heromal··on Tell HN: I Need Project Ideas
Sounds good for virtue signaling, nice job.
heromal··on Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure
It's both, deal with it.
heromal··on Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure
It's an annoying cult, same as the Tesla Crypto NFT fan boys.
heromal··on Google said it had successfully ‘slowed down’ European privacy rules
>You got the ability to demand to see your data from every company and get it deleted, you didn't have that before.

This matters to the nerds on HN and Reddit,some clout chasers on Twitter, and no one else.

heromal··on FTC Puts Hundreds of Businesses on Notice about Fake Reviews
Depends on the subreddit. Most of them are, as you say, filled with kids. The problem with that is if you ask for a product recommendation, they interpret that as "what's the cheapest X", which gets pretty annoying depending on what you're trying to buy. However, reddit in my experience is great with niche things with smaller subreddits, like /r/hometheater and /r/fatfire .
heromal··on FTC Puts Hundreds of Businesses on Notice about Fake Reviews
This really is something you just Google, it's not uncommon at all. I just Googled "broken game release" and all I saw were examples. Cyberpunk was a recent high profile one.
heromal··on SRE Doesn’t Scale
Who says the developer was building a non-standard solution? I read it as they would use one tool instead of the few that the manager suggested.
heromal··on Disabling /all chat in matchmade queues
Lmao you're the exact reason they're turning off all chat. The most fun you've had in the game is tilting other people in all-chat. AKA being the keyboard warrior you claim to bring out in other people. Bye.
heromal··on Disabling /all chat in matchmade queues
The problem is team chat. The first thing I do every match is /mute all , because the chance of me getting question ping spammed, flamed, etc. is much higher than someone actually saying something useful in chat. I've been playing this game since Fiddlesticks was released in 2009, and it has always harbored the most vile children you'll come across online. It's like back in 2005 when you'd hear squeakers calling you the n word on Xbox Live, but on steroids.

It's too hard to properly coordinate without voice chat in a real time game such as this one, frankly. That's why text chat has no use outside of flaming and flash timers.

>I don't follow League of Legends

You should've stopped there.

heromal··on Web3 architecture and how it compares to traditional web apps
This is a lot of words that say absolutely nothing.
heromal··on Understanding how Facebook disappeared from the internet
Which metrics are they using to hire E6s and up? Because those are the only ones making 500k+
