stackedinserter··on Indifference is a power (2015)
"undesirable masculine traits" haha

Who un-desires them? You?

stackedinserter··on Texas first state to end American bar association oversight of law schools
Same for any profession.
stackedinserter··on C Is Best (2025)
Ada is best.

No UB, strict types, contracts that can be formally proven, runtime checks, better (than phthreds) concurrency, certifiable.

It's bitch sometimes but you'll thank it after release.

stackedinserter··on Why your early 2000s photos are probably lost forever
Dude I loaded programs into ferrite cubes from perforated tapes, gtfo.
stackedinserter··on Why your early 2000s photos are probably lost forever
Not only for early 2000's, even now people routinely keep ALL their photos on their phones, without making any copies. Take a photo -> send to someone -> keep them forever -> delete when there's no space left, that's standard lifecycle, at least in my circle.
stackedinserter··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Idiot.
stackedinserter··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Russia's goal is to destroy Ukraine as nation and a country, because there's no "Ukrainians", there's no "Ukrainian language", and every country that speaks Russian should be controlled by Russian tsar. That's why they don't care and demolish ("liberate") Ukraine, town after town.

Do US do/want the same for Venezuela?

stackedinserter··on Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US and “debanked”
FATCA turned 15 years now, nobody bypassed it, although everyone whined a lot.
stackedinserter··on PySDR: A Guide to SDR and DSP Using Python
IQ mod/demod finally clicked for me!
stackedinserter··on Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US and “debanked”
And yet, they imposed FATCA and the whole world asked "how high"?
stackedinserter··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
How did you run campaigns on reddit? Reddit ads had the worst performance among all platforms I tried, literally zero conversion.
stackedinserter··on Show HN: Ez FFmpeg – Video editing in plain English
"-c:v h264_videotoolbox -b:v 5000k" on macos, it will use hardware encoder.
stackedinserter··on How I Left YouTube
The amount of bits that we want is directly connected to where we are in the game.

There are extremes like "Ryan works his ass off for puny $50k/year" but generally you get what you give.

stackedinserter··on Tell HN: Merry Christmas
Happy birthday, Jesus!
stackedinserter··on Fabrice Bellard Releases MicroQuickJS
It gives me strong ffserver flashbacks.
stackedinserter··on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves
Why not obligate people to wear license plate on their clothes then? It will help identify and found persons responsible, right?

Don't complain when it eventually happens.

stackedinserter··on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves
You never have, anyways.
stackedinserter··on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves
Easy solution for Flock problem: get rid of visible license plates. Make them 2x1" of size and RFID-readable, give readers to police, problem solved.

Not-that-easy solution is legal ban for such surveillance.

None of these both will happen though.

You accepted TSA and PRISM, you will get used to Flock too.

Next is Flock but for people, with face recognition.

stackedinserter··on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves
Moreover, people are pissed off when someone's angry because of TSA bs. "Don't be an asshole, they're just doing their jobs". "Oh someone's first week on this planet".
stackedinserter··on Texas is suing all of the big TV makers for spying on what you watch
We just switched to a laptops and USB-HDMI cable that always dangles near our TV. Someone wants to see F1, sports or a movie, they just plug it and watch like it's a big computer screen. If 9yo can do it, anyone can do it.
stackedinserter··on How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
Because they will become violent to us once they can afford to be violent to us.
stackedinserter··on How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
Western strength is not tech that we have today, but the velocity we're moving forward. Any tech can be and will be stolen, copied and improved, the only way to remain ahead is to run faster.
stackedinserter··on Hacker News front page now, but the titles are honest
I wish we were that brutally hones irl.
stackedinserter··on alpr.watch
Why aren't those flock cameras being destroyed all the time in the US?

In our city people vandalized speed cameras all the time, so eventually government gave up and just banned them in the whole province. I'm not sure they did that because of being vandalized, but at least there was direct actionable push back.

stackedinserter··on Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help
I don't feel sorry for a person that heard all these stories before and didn't say a word, and continued to promoted Apple crap.

"I have contacts in Apple, I'm better than all those losers". Well you were, until you were not.

stackedinserter··on Rivian Unveils Custom Silicon, R2 Lidar Roadmap, and Universal Hands Free
It's mostly fine but it has no idea of proper positioning on road. It always puts the car in other cars' blind zones, near to trucks etc.
stackedinserter··on Rivian Unveils Custom Silicon, R2 Lidar Roadmap, and Universal Hands Free
Can you waimo to another city or to camping?
stackedinserter··on Rivian Unveils Custom Silicon, R2 Lidar Roadmap, and Universal Hands Free
Probably a big chunk of these tried ACC a few times, found that ACC sucks unless you're on perfectly clean empty highway, and said "screw it I'll drive it myself".
stackedinserter··on EFF launches Age Verification Hub
I want this practice to remain in countries like India and Russia.
stackedinserter··on Show HN: AlgoDrill – Interactive drills to stop forgetting LeetCode patterns
We're good, we give 1hr screening exercise, then ask to improve it on the interview. Coding but not leetcode bs.
