The problem with opt-in telemetry is that 95% of users are sick and tired of being spied on with every little thing they do.
pnw_throwaway··on Reddit no longer allowing mobile users to browse on web
Probably for the best. Quality is nonexistent vs a decade ago.
pnw_throwaway··on Networking changes coming in macOS 27
It’s more tangential than unrelated. It’s how conversation naturally flows, and this is a discussion board. No need to fire up a new post.

On another tangential note: you’re insufferable. If you’re like this in the real world, I can’t imagine you’ve got many people wanting to hold a conversation for very long.

pnw_throwaway··on Ask HN: My ISP is telling my neighbors their slow internet is because of me
Sure it’s strange, which is exactly why so many folks* recommended calling the police.

I’m really unsure what you want this community to answer beyond that. There’s nothing we can investigate for you.

pnw_throwaway··on Ask HN: My ISP is telling my neighbors their slow internet is because of me
Isn’t the answer fairly simple?

They were going to disconnect it either way, and the 15-year-old was the one that answered the door.

Cable internet sucks, but you’re being ridiculous. Get a seedbox if you’re torrenting that much my dude.

I believe the answers on reddit said about the same, why drag this out further?

And call the cops if the tech was trespassing.

You really need to calm down and act more professional.

Between that and his behavior in this HN thread, looks like I'm done buying from Adafruit. Shame, they were decent.

pnw_throwaway··on Show HN: Nxtscape – an open-source agentic browser
Feels like yet another solution in search of a problem.

All the same, looks like y’all are having fun working on it, and maybe some unforeseen usecase will bubble up.

pnw_throwaway··on Dogs may have domesticated themselves because they liked snacks, model suggests
I'd imagine there's a fair amount of folks with autism here. Nothing wrong with that, but it can lead to these narrower perspectives about certain social topics.
pnw_throwaway··on The FizzBuzz that did not get me the job
I feel like there’s a disconnect in this thread. The things I mentioned are pretty standard fare.

If you don’t mind me asking, are you a senior level engineer?

pnw_throwaway··on The FizzBuzz that did not get me the job
How much of the article did you read? They were looking for a senior, with more than twice the experience the poster has. Being able to pump out algos is only part of the job.

While there a solution is clever, it’s not terribly maintainable and likely didn’t fit the bill.

Beyond that, things like soft skills matter for senior roles. The author can write, there’s no denying that, but we don’t know how well they can explain the why of their solution. It’s very likely the interviewers wanted more traditional functions that were unit-testable.

pnw_throwaway··on GitHub Git Operations Are Down
Have you never fixed a prod-specific bug before? They’re common enough, and it sounds like they patched this one within a reasonable amount of time.

pnw_throwaway··on CoreNet: A library for training deep neural networks
If I’m reading the formula docs right, only homebrew-core packages don’t support it (due to CI not testing them). That part does suck, though.

Other taps, like homebrew-ffmpeg, offer a ton of options.
