pineconewarrioron Deleting 50k Lines of Code in 3 Days

Common? Perhaps in less than ideal or legacy situations. Best practice, definitely not.

A lot of website projects I have worked on in the past included composer or node dependencies in the repository. It really slows down the whole git system.

pineconewarrioron Oink's Pink Palace

I miss OiNK, Waffles, and What so dearly. Music has never been the same for me since.

pineconewarrioron 4K4D: Real-Time 4D View Synthesis at 4K Resolution

Incredible!

How many cameras does this method require? As far as I can tell from the paper it still generates from multi-view source data. I can't say for sure but it seems like a large number from what I can parse as a layman.

pineconewarrioron Detroit man steals 800 gallons using Bluetooth to hack gas pumps at station

It's a local news piece so it's not meant for a technical audience. That's why they lead with the typical "random bystander" quotation.

pineconewarrioron I applied to 250 jobs and timed how long each one took

Workday is not great for applicants either. Maybe the back-end is nice?

pineconewarrioron Show HN: A JavaScript function that looks and behaves like a pipe operator

Gulp[1] and node streams sortof do this

    .pipe(uglify())

pineconewarrioron Apple will charge way less to fix cracked back glass on an iPhone 15 Pro

As would I, but watching the clip makes it pretty clear that the 15 is easier to damage (in this way) than previous models.

pineconewarrioron Discussing CNET’s content-pruning to improve SEO ranking

Yes, sortof. 'Crawl budget' issues.

pineconewarrioron Show HN: Phind V2 – A GPT-4 agent that’s connected to the internet and your code

Is there any chance you'll create Intellij / IDEA extensions?

pineconewarrioron Successful room temperature ambient-pressure magnetic levitation of LK-99

I tried searching this strange string of nouns but was met with some strange results.

What are you referencing?

pineconewarrioron Recreate the cavity-preventing GMO bacteria BCS3-L1 from precursor

The bacteria which cause cavities also evolved alongside us. The problem worsened as we introduced more food for the bacteria (from the agrarian diet).

pineconewarrioron Ask HN: What tech newsletters are you currently subscribing to?

https://sidebar.io/

Mostly for front-end web but its quite useful.

pineconewarrioron Samsung Foundry Tracking 2nm In 2025

It's dang easy on Mac. You just hit alt + the key it looks similar to.

Å = opt (AKA alt) + shift + a

pineconewarrioron Docker Acquires Mutagen

I use it with ddev for local development.

pineconewarrioron I post when browser makers announce their intent to ship features in web engines

Subgrid is going to be so nice to have. Layouts that designers consider 'obvious' will be trivial to implement. No more hackery to make nested elements vertically align.

pineconewarrioron The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens next

Likewise. I made all of my comment history into gibberish as well!

pineconewarrioron Reddit stripping moderators of rights and forcing subreddits to go public

This is the nail in the coffin for me. I can't support Reddit as a platform until there is a clear change of heart (and leadership).

pineconewarrioron MacBook Pro featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max

M2 Pro supports 3, M2 supports 2

pineconewarrioron For Want of a JOIN

I took several classes on it and I still didn't really 'get' it until I had to work on challenging problems in the real world. Granted, my education was not great quality overall.

pineconewarrioron Xbrowsersync – open-source Bookmark Synching

I use bookmarks to enhance this. I save a page and then rename the bookmark to some letter codes, for hackernews it's "hn: Hacker News", which makes typing "hn" bring up the bookmark no matter how cluttered, or recently cleared, my browser history becomes.

pineconewarrioron Strange Attractors

I had no idea what a strange attractor was before reading this and seeing this 3d demo. Between the two, I feel like I understand it quite well now.

Thanks for the writeup!

pineconewarrioron How much have tech layoffs affected engineers vs. other departments?

I have not seen or heard of any engineering cuts in any of my circle's workplaces. Only supporting staff (project managers etc).

I clicked on a few of the google sheets linked in the article and it seems (at least per my random selection) that this seems to be the case at these places too.

pineconewarrioron Time-restricted eating reduces visceral fat and improves metabolic syndrome

For me, this went away after a fortnight or so. I also find that if I fall off of my routine, when I restart with a decent fast (72 hours or so) it eliminates this adjustment period. Kicks the body into keto

pineconewarrioron Google postpones MV2 shutoff in Chrome stable to June 2023

Firefox memes have been trending on reddit.

pineconewarrioron Google postpones MV2 shutoff in Chrome stable to June 2023

I have been a firefox user for almost 20 years!

pineconewarrioron Google postpones MV2 shutoff in Chrome stable to June 2023

The 'switch to firefox' meme-storm and the still-horrible bugginess of mv3 made this inevitable.

pineconewarrioron Apple Car: Bad Idea After All

Apple did just move to an entire new architecture so I am hoping the bugs will start to calm down soon.

pineconewarrioron Google cracks down on VPN based adblockers

glad firefox is allowing and end-run around this

pineconewarrioron Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become

You're voting for the You that takes care of themself. Good!

pineconewarrioron Open-source tool to enforce privacy/security best-practices on Windows, macOS

I am not offended, I just find it in bad taste, along with the poorly-executed interface styles.

It's just my opinion anyway.
