sfryxellon The Harness Is the Thing

My bet is we no longer have the benifit of the doubt. and so taking capital and burning hard is not going to break through into consumer as easily as it did. So I extend the arc of time, tell people I'm a business, focus on giving customer as much free as I can, (probably add the harness to my product), and over time build an affectionate connetion with customers and then remind them I'm a business.

Could this be an extension? I already have a <meta tag name="darkreader-lock">, but I'm not sure what extensions are common in firefox

Yes, something like this is a good skill for me to add to the critic phase. This is my first post with the blog redesign, and I will admit I am 100% using hacker news as QA.

Excellent feedback, Thank you.

I looked at it on firefox and it looks fine. I wonder why it's off for some people

sfryxellon The North Korean fake IT worker problem is ubiquitous

I have gotten multiple emails from wonky email addresses offering to have me interview for jobs and they will take care of the work if I get hired. fake names tons of money for me. I just have to nail the interview.

My resume is shiny enough and I've gotton hired enough times im a good candidate for this kind of scam.

This feels like a very ham fisted approach for them though. 99% of engineers are going to ignore or not take seriously these kinds of out of the blue offers.

sorry to make you my QA. Its the first time using a pre tag on the blog. I didn't check it on mobile before pushing.

It's fixed now. Thanks for commenting and letting me know.

sfryxellon Integrating AI

AI coding assistants are changing how we work, but they're not replacing the core skills that make a developer. What matters most is our ability to hold complex systems in our minds and think through their implications.

Maaaan, The NYPD will take credit for oxygen. Right now their talking like they solved it. a "combination of old-school detective work and new age technology"

Thats definitely how the article from the times reads. What is the point of higher learning, it's a gross mutation for it to become an ever tightening noose of status scarcity

Spelling checked by claude. Thanks for the reminder. imagine years ago I would just be left to wallow in my ignorance.

yep 4 people in san francisco. I mean I've lived in the city since the 90's. and eventually you get to know people who value decency over rent. Also, tiny room.

sfryxellon The White Collar Apocalypse Is Nigh

"runway and low rents to keep whiddling away on, until it happened "

That's exactly it. Living here in the city. I have cheap rent $680 decent work and the room and time to spend my day coding on projects that I feel like matter.

The projects don't feel fully baked, but getting closer right. I just need the time and space to work on them.

well said.

This is fantastic. I've got two samplers that I've just started building a sample library for (Korg Drumlogue and Teenage Engineering's KO II) This is exactly the kind of tool that will help me find interesting sounds. Great job.

sfryxellon Proteins let cells remember how well their last division went

for me this is an example of informative back pressure. the protiens make sure the cells pay attention to what just happened to allow for changes that could improve things in the future. If you like the sound of big V8's what's appealing is the backpressure signaling that the engine is healthy and capable.

There was this article on backpressure on here and it's been siting with me. I've been applying it to other articles about data flow.

I think I was just showing off. The vectors are just fine without the animation. They are a setting I had on inside realness. on a blog that's for reading they are a distraction and turn oppressive without the option to disable.

Thanks again.

I didn't even read it. You conflated spec adoption with developer need.

I'm happy to earn your trust. Apple makes that impossible for me to do.

Here we are, being monopoly fucked right in the face.

https://realness.online is my PWA only application, So, I've got a front row seat to apple's monopoly fulcrum killing all desenters.

if you install https://whatpwacando.today/ on a phone or ipad today you can see how they already barely support standards.

Only basic things work. filesystem access is only halfway. no Contact picker, no background sync. They will destroy the user experience for everyone in order to disable other browsers more robust implementations of the spec.

They have been monopoly gaming us for years The EU is forcing them to go out in the open with it
