johnnyAghands··on The Code Review Pyramid (2022)
I find this kind of backward. IMO it's more important to establlish code standards (code style, etc) up front, so I would actually place this as the base. API design is important, but if designed well (e.g. versioned), it shouldn't be hard to extend/migrate. Whereas changing code style or practices around it require a lot more work, both in terms of coding and culture.
johnnyAghands··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2023)
> The main thing you’ll need in this job is curiosity

Love that mindset :)

johnnyAghands··on How to Do Great Work
Kind of strange I'm getting a certificate error for this site... wondering if its just me. Strange.
johnnyAghands··on iCloud for Windows downloading other people's photos
Makes sense, good set of training data :)
johnnyAghands··on Tesla engineers were on-site to evaluate the Twitter staff’s code, workers said
I don't see what the big deal here is. I feel like it's the obvious move. He wants a no nonsense review of the current state of things at Twitter, and isn't wasting time. I'm assuming these engineers he trusts and wants an objective review instead of some bs from folks too removed.
johnnyAghands··on The Future of the Web Is on the Edge
Wow that really fell apart in the last couple paragraphs.

Just glides over important topics like security and completely avoids others like data and application design. This hurts them and the edge space imo.

This is just a paper ad for Deno Deploy.

johnnyAghands··on Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
A modern terminal == Login to use? Was super excited, followed by instant disappointment. I hope they can remove this asap -- a severe misstep imo.
johnnyAghands··on Nix: An idea whose time has come
Open paragraph starts with Joe Armstrong -- ok I'm sold.
johnnyAghands··on Logging at Twitter
Ok so apart the article kinda being surprisingly bland -- I think the coolest part was how easily they were able to adopt a new architecture via the decoupling they had around producers and consumers via Kafka. Pub/sub, fan-out, messaging patterns are such great enablers. Seriously though, whats up with the lack of quality control on the post...
johnnyAghands··on Why is the Zoom app listening on my microphone when not in a meeting?
Pretty sure this is similar to how other web conferencing software detects compatible conferencing hardware via sound (out of our range). It's actually common and surprisingly effective method to communicate without Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. Reminded me of those hacking stories you hear about jumping air gaps :)
johnnyAghands··on Alder Lake Core i9 processor is faster than the M1 Max
Click bait -- per watt ftw
johnnyAghands··on Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)
I've been using tig for things like this. Are they related somehow? Tig is amazing :)
johnnyAghands··on Transiting the Suez Canal in a Private Sailboat (2003)
Wow that was tough to read. The writer seems incredibly calm given the experience -- I'd never be able to cope with that crap without punching someone. Kudos
johnnyAghands··on Why OO Sucks by Joe Armstrong (2000)
Lost this guy way too soon :(
johnnyAghands··on The mainframe is alive and thriving
zdnet is stilll alive and thriving
johnnyAghands··on How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%
Face palm. Thanks for doing this, maybe Rockstar will finally fix this bullshit.
johnnyAghands··on Iamlive – Generate an IAM policy from AWS client-side monitoring
Wow so just yesterday I was trying to figure out more restricted policy set for an instance someone else created. This is great!!
johnnyAghands··on [dead]
Is this website for real?
johnnyAghands··on Notes on My Colon Cancer
Glad you're doing well man, and thanks for sharing your experience with us. As someone who has never liked anyone near his butt -- I feel like I should get over it and get tested on a regular basis -- and will remember to take book. Also will make sure it's real god damn book -- I mean how bad ass is that, reading about the exploits of the world's most famous samuarai while waiting for surgery. Wishing you good health!
johnnyAghands··on A Review of Consensus Protocols
Yeah I was kinda wondering that too
johnnyAghands··on Rich Comment Blocks in Clojure
Wow weird, I for some reason thought this was something about great comments by Rich Hickey. Still great though
johnnyAghands··on IBM is splitting itself into two public companies
Wow I literally handed in my two weeks today -- this is either a very good move or bad... I'm thinking good still.
johnnyAghands··on Pressing YubiKeys
Is there a SOAP interface for this? We're interested in rolling this out where I work.
johnnyAghands··on Samsung Ads – Demand-Side Platform
Sammsung can't even fix crippling a problem like not being able to adjust settings (https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/unable-to-move-up-and...) -- they do not care about customers -- that's a fact.

Also who the hell is saying TVs would be more expensive without ads? What a load of BS -- perhaps for small companies starting out, but Samsung? LOL

I was on the fence about getting their frame TV, this pretty much kills it.

Can something preconfigured like pie hole help sandbox these things?

johnnyAghands··on Samsung crippled TVs with Tizen bug
I honestly don't know how they still don't have a solution to this -- it's now September. Low level settings like this should be available outside of the bloatware thats loaded on as a "Smart OS".

Imagine buying a refrigerator and not being able to control the tempreture settings because of some bug in the UI/OS. I can only laugh at what Joe Armstrong (rip) would say about something like this :.)

johnnyAghands··on Dickhead of the Week: Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri
All cylinders firing on this one. Couldn't agree more.
johnnyAghands··on Heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com
I am now the proud owner pv@heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.com. Looks like I was a bit slow 17ys!
johnnyAghands··on Heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com
I'm actually sad I can't really get a heyyyyyyyyyyyy email.
johnnyAghands··on Etcd, or, why modern software makes me sad
> Someone somewhere on HN said that "Google was a ball-pit for gifted children." I kinda laughed at that, but really, after k8s and protobuf3, I won't even grant "gifted".

This made me laugh.

johnnyAghands··on Design electronics like it is 70s at CERN
Wow I'm glad this person saw the value and wrote this! I hope it becomes a series of posts. I'm on the software side, but have always romanticized the hardware side -- gotta stop wasting time and start learning and tinkering with hardware...
