hyfgfh··on Tech Needs Humanists More
It's not the lack of humanities that got us here, it's the search to increase capital

Things only will get worst to a point where they will be unusable, the "new" and cool thing will get corrupted in faster and faster circles, slop will take over everything and eventually kill "tech"

hyfgfh··on Working with Git Worktrees in Magit
Sorry git worktrees are a waste of time Just keep multiple copies of the repo
hyfgfh··on CEO fired developers to make room for AI. Developers create open source AI CEO
Yes, any other type of psychopath or sociopath would work
hyfgfh··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
I'm sure everyone reading this article thinks of themselves as a good engineer.
hyfgfh··on Why skilled workers come to Germany and then leave again
PR and citizenship are different things, one is just to reduce the paperwork and allow some bare minimum benefits and the other is citizenship

The only reason to push language requirements for PR, is to make it harder to obtain it, its politically driven

hyfgfh··on Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
Yeah this is flawed at best, it more "meme" idea of politics
hyfgfh··on The disappearance of Japan's animators
Teachers, nurses, game developers ...

Companies get away with paying less because they can exploit the "passion" or intrinsic rewards that the jobs give

hyfgfh··on The 2-Year Apartment Rule
That apply for jobs too
hyfgfh··on Benevolent dictator Zuck will give Meta staff 30-minute break keylogging assault
Sauron doing sauron things
hyfgfh··on US in closely-guarded talks to open new bases in Greenland
When you get a Open Borders agreement in CIV
hyfgfh··on Local AI needs to be the norm
Local LLMs is the only thing viable and probably the only thing it will remain once the hype dies down.

A smaller cheaper local model can delivery most the value for coding, while we still use some services for code review and security compliance.

Once the VC money runs out and they start to charge the real price, the C-level will have to impose budges or limits. The current pissing contest over who can expend the most tokens is both ridiculous and shortsighted

hyfgfh··on Stop trying to engineer your way out of listening to people
Get ready for the not reading, between people asking for AI and the slop everyone is writing Today communication will only get worst.

Talking to a 'yes and autocomplete' that will agree with everything you say and praise it as a "Great idea!" will make everything terrible

hyfgfh··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
How about replaceable batteries?
hyfgfh··on Google workers seek 'red lines' on military A.I., echoing Anthropic
Next victims of "AI productivity gains"
hyfgfh··on We are changing our developer productivity experiment design
What worried me is that LLMs are becoming a crutches for overworked engineers. But instead of reducing the workload it has also increased the expectation and consequently more aggressive deadlines, making it all worst overall
hyfgfh··on Game Theory Patterns at Work
Correct the url has 2026, probably a typo
hyfgfh··on Conbini Wars – Map of Japanese convenience store ratios
Seizon Senryaku!
hyfgfh··on Conbini Wars – Map of Japanese convenience store ratios
Sorry but this seems like vibe coded slop

You cant search or change language

Idk what is the goal here, but maybe some analysis with graph would be better, like who has the most territory or something like that? You also might need to disclosure how you got this data

hyfgfh··on Patterns.dev
Agreed! The problem is that some 'seniors' never cared to learn patterns in the first place. That’s a huge problem for frontend, where we have increasingly complex architectures and people with very little experience with design.

Even some principles aren't known. I always recommend the book Head First: Design Patterns. It's in Java, but the lessons can be applied in every language.

Unfortunately, we are in a 'post-knowledge' era... I don't know how we can keep things up at this pace.

hyfgfh··on After 40 years of adventure games, Ron Gilbert pivots to outrunning Death
Two words: Disco Elysium

Maybe you need VA too

hyfgfh··on Steam Machine
Storage seems small to how crazy big some games have bee EDIT: Maybe it needs a combo ssd for system + hdd for storage
hyfgfh··on Nearly 90% of Windows Games Now Run on Linux
I have been thinking on dropping Windows, that I use only for gaming, but the issue is that I got a Nvidia graphics card and didn't have time to check if the support for it in Linux got better

But after experiencing the new Windows 11 "always-online" model it might make me stick to AMD in the future

hyfgfh··on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly
> OpenAI is trying to do something about it.

Ha good one

hyfgfh··on AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem
Svgs, date management, Http, so many simpler things we dont have solve and somehow people believe they will do it by putting enough money in LLMs when it cant count

Why some people understood when they tried it with blockchain, nfts, web3, AR, ... any good engineer should know principle of energy efficiency instead of having faith in the Infinite monkey theorem

hyfgfh··on The Useless UseCallback
The useRef pattern seem like a code smell, maybe because I had some troubles with refs over the years.

Things were simpler when we had lifecycle methods to manage some of this things. But I`m sure that the next version of react will change everything and make us come up with more patters to try to fix the same problem again...

hyfgfh··on The Broken Microsoft Pact: Layoffs and Performance Management
Yeah, now they have AI, Artificial Insecurity

just another tool to push us to work more for less

It don't work, but you better learn it and use it, because it will replace you and also now you got to delivery 30% more

hyfgfh··on More than 1 in 5 Show HN posts are now AI-related, get > half the votes/comments
There clearly some bias, some post critical of LLMs have been flagged [1]

Idk is 3th party actors or an push for "AI"

hyfgfh··on The time is right for a DOM templating API
That's alright now LLM and crypto make this waste seem minuscule
hyfgfh··on AlphaGenome: AI for better understanding the genome
Cant await for people to use it for CRISPR an it hallucinate some weird mutation
hyfgfh··on Progressive JSON
The thing I have seem in performance is people trying to shave ms loading a page, while they fetch several mbs and do complex operations in the FE, when in the reality writing a BFF, improving the architecture and leaner APIs would be a more productive solution.

We tried to do that with GraphQL, http2,... And arguably failed. Until we can properly evolve web standards we won't be able to fix the main issue. Novel frameworks won't do it either
