programmerslave··on Show HN: I made an alternative platform for professional profiles
Dude the world uses JavaScript, stop making these comments on every thread

It works because of the booming stock.

Do we live under tyranny?
programmerslave··on Coinbase to Suspend Trading in XRP
As soon as Bitcoin market cap starts shooting up, the SEC starts banning coins and increasing regulation. It’s a correlation as clear as day. The US government is actively trying to suppress Bitcoin/crypto growth. This is no coincidence
programmerslave··on Coinbase to Suspend Trading in XRP
Preach!
programmerslave··on Ask HN: What are the best decisions you’ve made?
How long did you work at Amazon? I’m a current employee and absolutely hate it. But the money is good and I’m learning a lot about building large scale systems
programmerslave··on How to Start a Startup (2014)
Yup I agree with this. Sam Altman is no Paul graham, it he’s trying to fill the void that Paul graham left. His platitudes are generic, not insightful or original. But he has to put out “content”
programmerslave··on Facebook Declared War on Apple, and It Just May Signal the End of Facebook
75k a year number is brainwashing, being rich is better. 75k is poverty with a family in many parts of the USA
programmerslave··on Interview advice that got me offers
This is bad advice, all the companies that pay well ask algorithms problems. Either play ball or be stuck at low wages
programmerslave··on Autism and Invention Are Connected
My family has multiple people who have spent extended periods of time in mental hospitals, I know what goes on there. But I still stick by my point
programmerslave··on Autism and Invention Are Connected
Mental disabilities are mostly adaptations that have huge upside. Technology is exacerbating that upside. You can’t have a majority autistic society, but you want some of them around
programmerslave··on Show HN: I built a comprehensive Ark ETF tracker
The real question. Remove tsla from arkk, how well did they perform?
programmerslave··on Is deep learning a new kind of programming?
Just because you aren’t employed in a job that can make use of deep learning doesn’t mean it isn’t profitable. It’s extremely profitable. I’m tired of reading about some dumb alternatives that aren’t even relevant to the topic. Deep learning works very well for a certain class of problems. Continuing on with the trope that it doesn’t work just shows you aren’t educated
programmerslave··on Is deep learning a new kind of programming?
Why can’t there be a discussion on machine learning without everyone on HN trying to prove how unnecessary it is. Queue the anecdotes on simpler regression based methods, over paid scientists, and how much superior some other simpler method is.
programmerslave··on Ask HN: What's the most critical piece of code you have ever written?
I wrote some code that runs core peices of Amazon.com, millions of tps

programmerslave··on Reddit Claims 52M Daily Users, Revealing a Key Figure for Social-Media Platforms
Sometimes I can’t believe what’s on the front page. It’s such blatant propaganda it makes me sad.
programmerslave··on Justice Dept files suit against Facebook for discriminating against U.S. workers
Go look on linked in. Of FB engineers, probably at least 40% are Chinese.
programmerslave··on Justice Dept files suit against Facebook for discriminating against U.S. workers
Most undergrad computer science graduates cannot find jobs right now
programmerslave··on Justice Dept files suit against Facebook for discriminating against U.S. workers
They really don’t hire that many Americans
programmerslave··on Justice Dept files suit against Facebook for discriminating against U.S. workers
Not really. H1B immigrants raise the bar on hiring. Often times they are willing to work more hours, study more, etc for a chance to thrive in the USA. This reduces working conditions, effective wages, and employment prospects for Americans.
