paiute··on Microsoft is Getting Rusty [video]
Which is why everything ends up as json in the end.
paiute··on BlackSheep: Fast ASGI web framework for Python
It has dependency injection
paiute··on PR process killing morale and productivity
I like this idea, it has the bonus of revealing how much the reviewer actually cares. I bet half the things they wouldn’t take the time to fix themselves.
paiute··on The EU Throws a Hand Grenade on Software Liability
So sell the service and not the product.
paiute··on PEP 760: No more bare excepts
Exactly, python is not Java. I don’t want it to be. There are perfectly good cases to catch all exceptions like this.
paiute··on I prefer rST to Markdown
The article convinced me that markdown is better for its purpose.
paiute··on No reasonable expectation of privacy in one's Google location data
Why does Google suddenly care? Location Services has never been privacy minded. Does this have to do with that 2000 mules thing?
paiute··on Dev rejects CVE severity, makes his GitHub repo read-only
The CVE industrial complex is real. The majority of CVE I’ve looked into are not really risks. It’s a sea of noise with the occasional super important exception. Good an on this dev.
paiute··on The Limited Value of Multivitamin Supplements
I stopped reading this garbage after “ the question as to whether these supplements reduce mortality is an important public health issue.”
paiute··on Ask HN: Has anyone else found it harder to review code recently?
Force multiplier.
paiute··on Ask HN: Has anyone else found it harder to review code recently?
I felt the same about ai until the newer chatgpt. It’s really better than i am. It’s never perfect, but I don’t think I’ll ever go without it now.
paiute··on Ask HN: Has anyone else found it harder to review code recently?
Tell me how an exception works. I’ve seen bugs caused by people not understanding the underlying mechanism. It doesn’t mean one shouldn’t use them.
paiute··on Ask HN: Has anyone else found it harder to review code recently?
There’s an ability to understand. Most coders really have no clue how their code works. It’s not a brag, nor incompetence. Does your average dev really understand the underlying instruction set? LLM are like having a team of junior devs. I can quickly skim it, test it, ship it. I’ve worked in all sorts of safety related code. I would trust ai code over some of the crap I’ve seen (and probably wrote myself)
paiute··on Ask HN: Has anyone else found it harder to review code recently?
I’ve been coding over 20 years. I’m guilty. But I’ve also learned that for most domains it doesn’t really matter if you understand the code, if it work, it works. Of course you have to watch for security and safety issues. Maybe ask an llm to explain the code under review?
paiute··on Viagra improves brain blood flow and could help to prevent dementia
It’s one of the things they might give in a hospital for it.
paiute··on Viagra improves brain blood flow and could help to prevent dementia
There are many off label uses. Pulmonary Hypertension for one.
paiute··on Viagra improves brain blood flow and could help to prevent dementia
This is how i figured out NO would help my heart. Eating cereal colored with beet powder. If i understand the magic happens when it combines with saliva. So chewing beets might help.
paiute··on Viagra improves brain blood flow and could help to prevent dementia
Pseudoephedrine
paiute··on Viagra improves brain blood flow and could help to prevent dementia
It is being used off label all over the place for heart conditions. That’s why i take it. The on label use is actually pretty annoying for the first few months.
paiute··on Show HN: Every mountain, building and tree shadow mapped for any date and time
Has the trees on my property pretty spot on. Kind of creepy.
paiute··on TheDesk desktop environment
I slowed down on linux as KDE slowly degraded. I love that someone is starting something new, maybe it’ll go somewhere.
paiute··on Architecture.md (2021)
I love the idea here, but i loath the example. TMI. Give the core idea, any communication points (sockets, apis etc), maybe an abstract diagram.
paiute··on I Fucking Hate Jira (2022)
At my current job, i need to make a jira ticket, a branch, do a live review… all to change a minor thing in a README
paiute··on I Fucking Hate Jira (2022)
Readme.md and an examples/ or tests/ I liked notion for business wikis.
paiute··on Goody-2, the world's most responsible AI model
I find it odd that it avoids telling you anything, unless it’s code. Then you don’t need to be an expert. Have a question about wire gauges, better ask a professional.
paiute··on Companies embracing SMS for account logins should be blamed for SIM-swap attacks
I’m so happy other people think this too!!! No one trusts the government, but usps is still offers pretty good privacy. I want mandatory acceptance of a gov issued ID, but at the same time i want to be able to use things anonymously.
paiute··on Why flying insects gather at artificial light
Bug bulbs: https://www.amazon.com/Edison-A19-14W-LED-Light/dp/B089QXZ8R...
paiute··on Why flying insects gather at artificial light
I was under the impression they confuse lights for stars and it messes with them. So if you simulate the sun the probably don’t get confused. You can but red spectrum lights that also are supposed to be bug friendly
paiute··on My heat pump: a personal story about a broken heating industry
I’m curious which stove you have, my is pretty cheap.
paiute··on My heat pump: a personal story about a broken heating industry
I’ve been on heart pumps since 2014, and a brand new one for the last year. They are awesome 75% of the year and totally worthless during the cold months. Technically they work if you don’t mind luke warm air blowing in your face all day long. I also switched to an induction stove and i hate it. The bottom of my food cooks nicely…
