medellin··on Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a green card program
This is why i voted for him and will keep doing so. The left is too weak to push through things like this with their “morally superior” voters. So, your welcome.
medellin··on So you think you could be an electrician?
Being personable and having good to great communication skills is a prerequisite for almost everything. The software and hardware engineering fields have largely had a free pass on this historically because supply was so low.
medellin··on We're going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything
How does that work for storage or when you are in the middle of batch job that costs 1k and you get killed at 900?
medellin··on Hackers have withdrawn ~4k BTC (~$320M) from the Liquid Federation wallet
Yeah… because in 15 years bitcoin has never forked for a hack. What a brain dead comment
medellin··on Doomscrolling ourselves to death
As usual downvotes from hn libtards. This place is just reddit v2. What sadness
medellin··on Doomscrolling ourselves to death
Interesting article right up until they introduce the right vs left debate. The left doesn’t want to appear “elite” because they are so smart and intelligent they don’t want to offend. Give me a break jagoff.
medellin··on Uber SubmitQueue: a high-performance speculative merge queue
The origin of this was from Uber ATC self driving division. We wrote the original submit queue inside of Phabricator and then it was eventually pulled out and made its own product.

It was fun to work on and find all the edge cases along the way.

I know what kind of engineer you are from this comment.
medellin··on Bybit loses $1.5B in hack but can cover loss, CEO confirms
Old man yells at cloud vibes every time a crypto post comes on HN.

No interesting discussions ever. Just axes being sharpened and people who dislike it taking the opportunity to gloat. I would characterize the pro crypto people but I don’t see any. Which is said because over the last 5 years I have found crypto, bitcoin, and stable coins to be extremely useful when helping family members in emerging markets.

But hey it’s all trash, the west doesn’t need it so let’s all dance on its grave.. i guess we will keep dancing for another 15 years.

medellin··on Bybit loses $1.5B in hack but can cover loss, CEO confirms
I don’t know anyone working in crypto who complains about the physical world being too complex. Imaginary dragons are easily slayed.
medellin··on Bybit loses $1.5B in hack but can cover loss, CEO confirms
It is on eth and they can use decentralized exchanges.
medellin··on Egg prices are soaring. Are backyard chickens the answer?
As usual when the MBAs get involved the build price magically becomes 10x what the actual cost is.
medellin··on Avoiding outrage fatigue while staying informed
Likely take a break from social media and talk with some real people. Lots of people voted for trump aren’t radical actually none that i know are. I come from a small town in a red state and yes they completely disagree with democrats on pretty much everything but the stuff you read on reddit is so far fetched and extreme I don’t know how anyone would take it seriously.

They believe people hate Americans and everyone should be ashamed traveling overseas. As someone who travels all the time to multiple continents not just Europe i have never encountered anyone who asked or even cared. Most people don’t live in a political bubble where they need to stop being friends with people over politics.

Anyway a lot people are choosing to live in an angry little bubble. It is really sad to see.

medellin··on Microplastics in the human brain
I would think that we would be seeing a lit more issues if we had that much plastic just in our brain. But maybe our body doesn’t mind all that much. I guess we will see how things play out in another 30 years though.
medellin··on In Colorado, an ambitious new highway policy is not building them
Hahahahaha. Unless we have a major change in direction we aren’t getting crap.
medellin··on In Colorado, an ambitious new highway policy is not building them
It is not. At most you get 8 months of the year. The rest even if the weather is sunny you are looking at strong wind or unpredictable storms that pop up. We just had golf ball sized hail at the end of may.
medellin··on API Shouldn't Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
I fully support this and have always pushed for this. One because it becomes a huge mess to maintain over time but also because it long term will lower traffic through the LB.

Unfortunately what i see happen all the time is quick fixes are pushed to the infra. For example they deploy and typo the URL. Now we have a prod outage and infra is pulled in to fix this asap. No time to wait for that 10 minute deploy pipeline that requires all the tests to run and a deploy to dev.

This happens once and then infra is asked why we don’t already redirect all URLs. Management doesn’t care about security and they just lost money. Guess what you are doing now. This is the world we live in.

medellin··on Show HN: Pls Fix – Hire big tech employees to appeal account suspensions
I love the pearl clutching on hacker news.
medellin··on Apple apologizes for iPad 'Crush' ad that 'missed the mark'
I think this is part of the issue. I really dont want to have the discussion because im sick of trying to understand how everyone is mad about everything. At a certain point it’s mentally draining for me just so people can feel morally superior because they are more PC than you.

Im done with it and a lot of others are also.

medellin··on MIT abandons requirement of DEI statements for hiring and promotions
I’m still looking for the single person who was offended by the use of master as the default git branch name. I never found them but everyone got to pretend like they were making a difference for a little bit.

These statements are the exact same thing to me.

medellin··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
Its fairly easy to get setup and after done correctly pretty low maintenance. But i have done it a few times at this point.
medellin··on The U.S. crime rate is still dropping, FBI data shows
I know the perception is that the police don’t care anymore. Bo surprise these are diverging and that no one trusts anything put out by the government anymore anyway
medellin··on Run0, a systemd based alternative to sudo, announced
Signed ssh certs make your life easy here
medellin··on Japanese police arrest man for tampering with Pokémon Violet save data
I don’t think you read what they wrote. They aren’t talking about selling anything
medellin··on Persistent interaction patterns across social media platforms and over time
I agree it should be broken down better or they are falling into the same simple thinking that most commenters online have.
medellin··on Show HN: I open-sourced the in-memory PostgreSQL I built at work for E2E tests
It is annoying is you want to run your teat inside a container for ci and now you are running a container in a container and all the issues that come with it.
medellin··on New seafloor map only 25% done, with 6 years to go
Can you explain “GPS maps offset from reality” or what would i have to look up to learn more?

I see for china some into about random offsets but couldn’t find anything else.

medellin··on Princeton group open sources "SWE-agent", with 12% fix rate for GitHub issues
In my 15 years i would say less than 1% of bug reports are like this. If you know the bug to this level most people just would fix it themselves
medellin··on Show HN: DN$ – an innovative, ad-supported DNS resolver
Little over the top. Sometimes subtle is better/more entertaining.
medellin··on Ethereum has blobs. Where do we go from here?
I mean i have been using bitcoin for the past 6 years to send money to people outside the country with little issue.

I know it’s hard to imagine for the west but places exist where working around the local financial system is a huge benefit.
