jjuel··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
I once got a cold LinkedIn message that got me a job that I loved. When I was looking this year though it did NOT have the same results. Lots of bots and just recruiters who see a open to work and just add you out of no where with nothing. I did get help from people I actually know on LinkedIn, but other than that it was definitely not helpful in the job search.

I thought maybe that was just mine because I had been laid off in January so my algo got messed up.
jjuel··on NASA asked several former SR-71A staffers to help secret restart
No doubt there are highly skilled engineers there, but saying "those" might be a stretch. It is possible someone there has worked on an SR-71A, but it last flew 27 years ago. It was originally introduced 60 years ago. A lot of the knowledge about this plane has most likely unfortunately passed on. That isn't to say people can't learn, but it is a tougher starting point. Honestly, almost like starting over I would guess.
jjuel··on You said no MCP
I have already basically removed any extensions I had installed. There are still a couple, but I am going to remove those as well. Except maybe a web search one as that is something I use often. Going to remove all skills and anything else as well. I am a simple man when it comes to agent programming.
jjuel··on Why is Hacker News like that?
True. I actually don't read or enter threads for stuff I know will piss me off. So yeah makes sense.
jjuel··on Why is Hacker News like that?
But couldn't a bunch of posts that are just coming here to lift up one of Elon's products also be counter productive? You can never tell if someone is genuine when reviewing a product he put out. I think that is a big problem as well.
jjuel··on I said no and Apple said yes
Someone did though. Otherwise they wouldn't have created FilePilot. I have never had issues with any file manager in Linux. Explorer on the other hand is annoying as heck. Of course I am not picky with a file manager as I rarely use it on Linux anyway.
jjuel··on What Sun got wrong
I mean in a way isn't that what Oxide is doing? Aren't they just providing you the hardware to do cloud hosting yourself on prem?
jjuel··on EPA says power for data centers can sidestep pollution laws
If you are talking about the billionaires and trillionaire who spent as much as they could to get this elected then you are correct it is what THEY wanted.
jjuel··on Building on ATProto
I love tangled, but there are certain repos I don't want public. So with all ATProto data being public you can never have a private repo which is disappointing.

Came to say something about the ads too. Ended up not even reading the article it was so bad.
jjuel··on Moving on from 18F
Tell the people the government is inefficient and cannot work as intended. Defund said government so it doesn't work as intended. Privatize the work and profit. A playbook as old as time. Except they are doing it bigger and more brazenly than ever.
jjuel··on [dead]
Yeah this is just a "Don't use Signal. Use our alternative instead."
jjuel··on Superfile – A fancy, pretty terminal file manager
Isn't the terminal program technically a GUI?
jjuel··on Functional programming should be the future of software
So like a Christian who just wants you to share the same joys of Jesus Christ that they do correct?
jjuel··on Solarized
I used to love Solarized when using a light theme then I found papercolor. That is my preferred light although I am using a dark Tokyo Night now. I switch frequently.

jjuel··on How food powers the body's metabolism
But highly processed refined carbohydrates are sugar as well. Or at least converted to glucose. We are told, however, that carbs are part of the balanced diet. While that is true the right kind of carbs are important. So people think they are being healthy while loading themselves up with poor quality carbs that are in fact quite unhealthy.
jjuel··on On the cheap, like a local, and without a lot of luggage
So a town with a population of 800k is considered small to you? Yikes don't come to Iowa then...
jjuel··on The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition
I mean isn't that a fair question all around? Why pay more for a high end laptop when you can just buy a cheap chromebook? The myth that ChromeOS is just a web browser is just that a myth. It can do so much more. Some people like a high end laptop, but also prefer the safety and security that ChromeOS provides. I owned a Pixelbook and loved it. Honestly still miss it. I would absolutely buy another high end ChromeOS device.
jjuel··on AirPods Pro Service Program for Sound Issues
I am glad I came across this post. I was thinking I was going to need to buy some new ones. My right one has a static issue and the left one has a weird clicking.
jjuel··on Xkcd: Universe Price Tiers
I mean $49.99 per month for 0 ads is a steal.

Bring back Geocities!
jjuel··on Stop Interviewing with Leet Code
What if my surgeon went to med school and was top of class, but had an attending who insisted on using the wrong tools? Or there was another surgeon on the team who created the "architecture" for a brain surgery, but for some reason in order to get to the brain they went through the chest. There can be many reasons for unreliable and buggy software that are completely unrelated to the developer.
jjuel··on Ask HN: Should I move to California or Germany as a SWE with 2 small kids?
I cannot speak to Germany or California, but I can speak to being close to family. I know that has been invaluable to my wife and I. We were only 4.5 hours away when we first had our kids, but it seemed like a million miles. It was hard not having support or even just to drop the kids with family to run an errand or go to an appointment. After being back it is just amazing to have family close. Having that love, help and support will ease a lot of burdens. Even in a small village remote work should be an option. I would assume (but obviously don't know) that a small village in Germany has a lower cost of living than California so you should still be able to build wealth if you both get decent jobs. Just remember money isn't everything, and having family close will ease many of those burdens.
jjuel··on It's time to bring back the AIM away message
I just want the door open/door close sounds back to know when my contacts are on or off line ;)
jjuel··on My living room still has 3 TVs but I have regrets
So you think them doing something they enjoy together is a life wasted? Why call someone else's choices wasting. I enjoy spending time with my kids and doing things with family. Should I tell a couple with no kids who travel they are wasting their lives by not having a family or am I the one wasting my life by not traveling? Seriously to each their own. Let people live without judging. How much life are you wasting by browsing HN?
jjuel··on SerenityOS Browser now passes the Acid3 test
The beauty is when you build your own OS with it's own desktop environment, and browser and tools from scratch you can use the language you feel is appropriate. Would you write a brand new project in a language you don't feel comfortable with just because it is perceived as "safer"? Especially when the project was just for fun, and really to help the creator get through some tough times in their life. Like he didn't start the project to compete with mainstream OSes or browsers. This is just a terrible take especially considering you probably use an OS written in C and a browser written in C++.

But Wordle takes what 15 minutes of your day?
jjuel··on Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss?
If you cannot find an hour in the day you don't want to find an hour in the day.
jjuel··on The origin story of our new ortholinear keyboard
As an ergo keyboard idiot, what are the advantages of the concave key well? I've seen more people using it recently, but have no idea what the advantage of that is.
