Sobering read on how Google was destroyed from the inside.

riiii··on Microsoft says it's built an Xbox game store on Android but can't launch it
I despise market monopoly abuse. But it's a bit of a Schadenfreude seeing the Microsoft as the victim.
riiii··on A washing machine for human beings, from 1970
I'm pretty sure if the automatic mixer/heat adjustment on the shower were to be invented today it would be a subscription add-on.
riiii··on Device-detector: Universal Device Detection library from User Agent
That flag should be called isKnownBot.
riiii··on Deprecating outdated issues on the GitHub public roadmap
"Leave them until they're outdated" isn't a valid way to deal with issues in my book.
riiii··on Microsoft will soon let you clone your voice for Teams meetings
> clone their voices so they can have their sound-alikes speak to others in meetings in different languages

Yeah, no. Automatic text translation is "ok" but automatic translation direct into a work meeting in your voice? Enjoy your HR meetings and lawsuit for unfair dismissal based on botched translation.

riiii··on Show HN: BemiDB – Postgres read replica optimized for analytics
Because you want to take their hard work, modify it and not share it back to the community?

I'm not crying that "it's not for you".

riiii··on The guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing 8k hours
That's nothing. I know people that have spent 40 years dedicated to their religion. Then one day abandoned it with a negative review.
riiii··on We're Leaving Kubernetes
> development environments

Kubernetes has never ever struck me as a good idea for a development environment. I'm surprised it took the author this long to figure out.

K8s can be a lifesaver for production, staging, testing, ... depending on your requirements and infrastructure.

riiii··on Show HN: Someday, Open-Source Calendly Alternative for Gmail / Google App Script
Dark mode calendar letters are too dark to read.
riiii··on The almost-lost art of rosin potatoes
That wasn't at The Rising Sun by any chance?
riiii··on Hobby CAD, CNC machining, and resin casting (2015)
Do you have a complete technical drawing?

My guess form rejection is either:

1. No drawing and vague specs.

2. Too time consuming and they don't want to quote the crazy price it'd take.

Machine shop time is very expensive.

riiii··on Show HN: I built an app to use a QR code as my doorbell
Doorbell URL: https://dingdongdoorbell.com/bells/5muj34dpDCzdyABV/
riiii··on Show HN: HN Update – Hourly news broadcast of top HN stories
It causes sensory overload for me, I abhor it.
riiii··on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens
Some people are motivated by more than just financial incentive.
riiii··on Language is not essential for the cognitive processes that underlie thought
Nice idea. In the zone, I don't think about the code. I am the code and the code is me.

That is, until the code refuses to work. Then the code is a bitch and I need a break.

riiii··on Another burnout post
Burnout very much exists in other professions.
riiii··on Adobe's new image rotation tool is one of the most impressive AI tools seen
I'm pretty tired seeing AI slapped on everything but holy shit this is impressive.
riiii··on Busy Status Bar from Flipper Devices
Interesting toy, but in my world none of my friends are going to pay $189 for that. Even when the the dollar sign is on the wrong side.
riiii··on Omni SenseVoice: High-Speed Speech Recognition with Words Timestamps
Which languages does it support?
riiii··on "Begin disabling installed extensions still using Manifest V2 in Chrome stable"
I'm years ahead of them. I disabled Chrome years ago.
riiii··on Why the ISO format has to die
This is just a rant.
riiii··on Arthur Whitney's one liner sudoku solver (2011)
People are saturated with anger and frustration after doom scrolling. They engage with their pitchforks.
riiii··on What is the history of the use of "foo" and "bar" in source code examples? (2012)
Because fu.
riiii··on Why and how we’re migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs
That was sarcasm not flame. But it's always 60/60 chance sarcasm will just blow up.
riiii··on Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture (2022)
>"The free software Microsoft is giving away isn't open enough"

This is not a quote from the article and isn't what the article is saying. It's effectively suggestig that devs are being duped and MS goals are closing essential parts down.

riiii··on Britain buys semiconductor factory for defence purposes
Wasn't the last British owned semiconductor factory in the UK sold to Chinese investors within the last year it so.

The last steel furnace closing too?

riiii··on Explore Music Non-Linearly
Website could do with a demo. I'm not gonna rush to steam and buy.
riiii··on Sony, Ubisoft scandals lead to California ban on deceptive digital goods sales
Imagine writing so awful and unethical software that it triggers law to be created to ban it.
riiii··on Galaxy Buds reportedly exploded in a user's ear causing permanent hearing loss
Mossad version would cause a tad more loss than just the hearing.
