mooktakim··on Powerless F1 drivers frustrated by Bahrain F1 software glitch
When things are broken in prod and customers screaming you bypass QA to get the fix live
mooktakim··on Cloudflare/Security-Audit-Skill
I really don't understand why they didn't create an "app store" style skills library where it could be approved and scanned for security issues
mooktakim··on Show HN: Everything a web page can learn about you, in plain English
Always wondered why websites need to know about my battery status
mooktakim··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Internet routing around nuclear war not because it's cable but it's because it's an inter connected network (ie "internet"). Meaning there's multiple routes to the same destination.
mooktakim··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Yes, but those are different reasons. Eventually we'll have many different providers offering LEO internet. Competition is the best way to solve this. The benefits of LEO internet is obvious.
mooktakim··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
The obvious is the cost of deploying. You don't need to dig to add cable. Full country coverage. Worldwide customers.
mooktakim··on Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say
They literally merging US military with Israel lol
mooktakim··on SpaceX gets $2.29B Space Force sensor-to-shooter network contract
If you're determined enough you can cause damage that does not decay or go higher than LEO. This risk already exists for accidents. If your goal is to cause it, it wouldn't be too difficult
mooktakim··on SpaceX gets $2.29B Space Force sensor-to-shooter network contract
Eventually someone somewhere will decide these LEO satellites are used for the military against their own sovereign countries and will have to start destroying them. We will end up with a graveyard in space where fragments will make it difficult to continue any space activities.
mooktakim··on Women should be able to open things
No one should be able to do anything. You learn to do it or you don't. There are women who are already capable of opening jars without help. There's no conspiracy here. If you think it's an untapped market go out and start selling easy open jars.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Like how USA is occupied by Zionists
mooktakim··on Incident Report: Railway Blocked by Google Cloud [resolved]
So railway who provides cloud hosting uses another cloud hosting provider for vital services. Why use railway and not Google cloud directly?
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Good thing for whom? Who tf is US to embargo anyone.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
US navy literally doing piracy right now taking ships in international waters, destroying boats in Venezuela and Trump admitting to piracy.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Lol let's not talk about slavery when it comes to the USA

Have you tried reading anything other than Wikipedia

Did I say the Japanese were good guys? Everything the Japanese did, UK, USA and other European countries have done worse. They're still doing it. Going back to the original reply, US Navy only benefited the US by screwing over the rest of the world
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Japan didn't have any problems with USA because USA was not part of allied forces. In fact USA sold weapons to both UK and Germans. USA only joined after Pearl Harbour. Japan attacked because US Navy prevented oil being shipped to Japan, Japan had no other source.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Are you saying USA cared about the Chinese? Japan had already surrendered before US nuked them
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Are you saying there are no pirates now? US navy has solved all the world's problems? The blockades have killed millions of people, even in the last 30 years. When US sanctioned Iraq after the first war, they killed 500k people every year, and then US invaded Iraq on lies. The world would be safer without the US Navy.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
American navy has blockaded countries all over the world, so it's more true that they closed international waters. Waters were open before America existed. If Americans would actually learn their history they would see that the USA blockade was the reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, as the Japanese needed the water to open and thought taking out Pearl Harbour would prevent the US Navy controlling the Pacific. Japan attacked the American base, USA attacked Japanese civilians with nukes.
mooktakim··on Googlebook
Google just give up making hardware ffs. I'm still annoyed that my Fitbit no longer works with my Google workspace account.
mooktakim··on Amazon says restoring damaged Middle East cloud operations to take months
It's like asking the scorpion "why did you sting me?"
mooktakim··on Show HN: Faceoff – A terminal UI for following NHL games
It's like the reinvention of Teletext
mooktakim··on Filing the corners off my MacBooks
Ah man, I hate how sharp the edges are. Good solution
mooktakim··on Building Multi-Tenant SaaS with Rails 8, Caddy, and Kamal
This is a production guide based on building Dinehere.ai (AI restaurant website builder). The key insight: run Caddy as a Kamal accessory for on-demand TLS. Caddy checks a Rails endpoint before issuing any certificate, so random domains pointed at your IP won't trigger cert issuance. kamal-proxy still handles deployment and health checks — Caddy just sits in front for TLS termination. Part 1 (base Kamal deployment): https://mooktakim.com/blog/deploying-rails-with-kamal/
mooktakim··on I am happier writing code by hand
I agree. But I do have some concerns. Sometimes the LLM writes code and its a lot of work to go through it. I get lazy and trust LLM too much. I've been doing this for a while so I know how it should write, I go back and try to fix or refactor. But a new dev might direct LLM to write code they might not understand. Like a blackbox. LLM makes a lot of decisions without you realising, decisions which you used to make yourself. Writing code is making thousand decisions.
mooktakim··on I am happier writing code by hand
Initially I felt like this but now I've changed. Now I realise a lot of grunt work doesn't need to be done by me, i can direct llm to make changes. I can also experiment more as I'm able to build complex features, try it out and delete it without feeling too bad.
mooktakim··on The Waymo World Model
Tesla built something like this for FSD training, they presented many years ago. I never understood why they did productize it. It would have made a brilliant Maps alternative, which country automatically update from Tesla cars on the road. Could live update with speed cameras and road conditions. Like many things they've fallen behind
mooktakim··on I stopped following the news
It's easy to ignore news of things happening far away and the luxury that comes with it. But when your people are the direct cause of the problems far away it's clear how such atrocities were allowed to happen in WW2. Blissful ignorance and silence.
