yogorenapan··on Show HN: Effective Git
I've learnt jujutsu. It took me a couple weeks to get it but 100℅ worth it. I've always intuitively understood git but jj does make a lot of annoying things easy. My commit history is now much cleaner than ever before. It's not for everyone though. Takes a lot of upfront investment to learn when git is often already good enough.
yogorenapan··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
The annoying thing is that even if you yourself don't use these glasses, as long as people around you do, you are still affected by it. We really need laws to limit always-on recording devices in places where we have an expectation of privacy.
yogorenapan··on Layoffs at Block
Wildy varies. I'm a new grad and got my first offer after 8 applications and got another offer last week unprompted. Meanwhile my friend graduating from the same university has done 300 applications and a couple dozen interviews with no offer.
yogorenapan··on ICE plans cash rewards for private bounty hunters to locate and track immigrants
Even if I was a citizen or legal immigrant, I would just leave at this point. First they came for the communists...

(Yes I know a lot of people can't leave. Maybe the US needs to do a Nepal and overthrow this corrupt government)

yogorenapan··on Spinning Up an Onion Mirror Is Stupid Easy
I was already able to host onion services last year by using the crate directly. A few footguns related to flushing but it generally works as expected. I will however say that the code quality could be improved though. When trying to contribute, I found a lot of somewhat bad practices such as having direct file read/writes littered around without abstraction which made refactoring difficult (trying to add different storage/cache options such as in-memory only or encrypted)
yogorenapan··on Tinkering is a way to acquire good taste
Used to use VSCode. There was a point in time where it felt clunky on Wayland due to electron.

Neovim worked the same just about everywhere and I could choose my terminal. Especially with tiling, for me it's just feels better.

yogorenapan··on Police used Flock cameras to accuse a woman of theft, she had to prove innocence
I imagine this technology is here specifically to force people to give up on privacy. In a "guilty until proven innocent" situation, you can't even do your own secure/private tracking as any local data wouldn't have attestation. Only solution is to be rich enough to fight it out in court.
yogorenapan··on Look, Another AI Browser
Chromium is Blink and whatever common ancestor they share has diverged much over the past decade
yogorenapan··on Wanna Buy a Datacenter Cheap?
Very odd submission. From 2023, auction already closed. Bunch of comments from 2024 that appear to be completely AI generated. Example:

> Wow, this datacenter for sale in Fort Worth, Texas seems like a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere! With its recent renovations and state-of-the-art facilities, it’s definitely worth considering. I can only imagine the possibilities of transforming the warehouse space into a shared workspace and utilizing the open layout for last-mile staging. The potential growth in the community is just the icing on the cake. I wish I had the expertise and resources to make a bid before March 23!

yogorenapan··on Ladybird Replace DNT with GPC
Did not know that GPC will be enforced by law. I hope the EU will adopt it soon as well.
yogorenapan··on Gov workers say their shutdown out-of-office replies were forcibly changed
Speaking in first person does feel like impersonation and completed speech though
yogorenapan··on Why use mailing lists?
I've been using it for a year now. Can vouch for the quality and reliability
yogorenapan··on macOS becomes iOS: Safari video controls
There are laptops that work with Linux and ones that don't. Nobody is forcing you to use it on a device that isn't supported
yogorenapan··on Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?
Huawei which I previously worked for run month long hackathons aimed at PHDs & would offer internships to the top 3 teams with a return offer if they do well. This is Europe only though and competition is tough (~200+ teams with people from around the continent)
yogorenapan··on Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?
What are people doing to need 700 applications? If you went to university, usually you'd be able to get an internship after 4-5 applications & a return offer. Then afterwards just stay put when the economy isn't doing well and hop around when it is.
yogorenapan··on Orange Pi RV2 $40 RISC-V SBC: Friendly Gateway to IoT and AI Projects
Depends what you're using it for. A lot of people tend to buy pi-likes as servers which is absolutely bonkers. If you time eBay right, $50 would get you a fairly powerful intel NUC with much more performance and peripherals
yogorenapan··on Imperial Tyranny, Korean Humiliation
From what I can tell, the company did misuse the specific visa but it's generally a grey area that the US has historically turned a blind eye to. Given that Korea is a strong ally of the US and the project was done at the behest of Trump for reviving manufacturing, I feel like some leeway should've been given & more diplomatic means used rather than parading the Koreans around like gang members
yogorenapan··on macOS Tahoe
Thank you so much. I only need a Mac to compile/debug with Xcode (still can't get USB pass through with quickemu working) but Apple has been killing old versions such that projects wont build and home brew has no bottles and whatnot.
yogorenapan··on Do I Need Kubernetes?
Do I need it? No. Do I want to use it because of the superior tooling? Yes.

Honestly. Give yourself a month to learn it and migrate your home lab and it's actually not too difficult. Yes it takes a lot of debugging initially, but like most things, once you're familiar, it becomes easy.

yogorenapan··on WhoBIRD is now deprecated on certified Android devices
They're probably American, like most of HN. It does feel like a shitty way to treat allies
yogorenapan··on Proton Mail suspended journalist accounts at request of cybersecurity agency
I've been self hosting my email for a couple years. Currently using mox https://github.com/mjl-/mox I'd avoid popular server providers like Hetzner or DO. Lots of abuse there so you might get dropped. https://www.eth-services.de sponsors mailcow and has been pretty reliable
yogorenapan··on Many hard LeetCode problems are easy constraint problems
I've won a couple hackathons with just CP-SAT & Linear Programming which led to my first jobs. I'm surprised not more people know/use it. Very inefficient compared to the "correct" answer but the development speed is much faster.

> If someone solves a leetcode hard with a constraint solver and you don't hire them, you are an idiot

Sometimes you just don't want someone that takes these shortcuts. I think being able to solve the problem without a constraint solver is much more impressive

yogorenapan··on U.S. added 911k fewer jobs in year through March than reported earlier
I legitimately can't tell if this is satire.

> First, political commentary should be regulated

Who does the regulating? The current Trump regime? Huge first amendment violation

> come from SA/Zimbabwe and comment on posts of US political candidates.

Because those posts are being made on a private platform. Are you sure you want something worse than UK's Ofcom proving your American identity just to speak?

> It should be compulsory for voters to vote

Maybe, but definitely not in a 2 party system.

> make them understand how the economy, the Fed, world trade, US intelligence, foreign policy, interest rates, and bonds work

Not specifically those. Please just have universal free education. There's no need to specifically teach kids how to think politically. That's definitely going to get abused for propaganda

yogorenapan··on How Turkmenistan Censors Internet to Sell VPNs
This sounds like a really smart move that ISPs could use at some point in the hypercapitalistic west
yogorenapan··on Linux Foundation's New Banned Words: Hung, Pow-Wow, & Sanity Check
Note that Lunduke is a right wing nut job that has been crusading against "DEI" and whatnot for a few years. At the same time, he's not wrong that this particular rule feels particularly misdirected. There is a lot of entrenched vocabulary that has its own meaning and makes sense in context. Sure someone not in tech might take killing children the wrong way but the jargon was not intended for them in the first place.
yogorenapan··on SSA whistleblower's resignation email mysteriously disappeared from inboxes
Not as scary as headline implies

> Minutes after the email went out, it disappeared from employee inboxes

The email was sitting in servers controlled by the government. They have permission to read and remove contents

yogorenapan··on Ask HN: What do you think about GFW?
The scale is impressive, but easy to bypass by those who know how. While it's technically impressive, I'm not too worried about it. I find UK and US laws on age verification much more concerning as they have the power to directly compel websites to self censor or demand the identities of visitors, which in the worst case scenario, could become a worldwide requirement.
yogorenapan··on Tell HN: My advice after I applied to 450 positions before getting hired
Considering it took 450 applications, perhaps this isn't the best advice. Perhaps in the future, employers will use a centralized system that tracks and limits the amount of applications a person can do to prevent this sort of AI spam
yogorenapan··on Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos
Oh wow that brings back memories. I remember playing with this back in my middle school days
yogorenapan··on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?
You can always do v2ray -> Mullvad in a docker container routed with gluetun for censorship avoidance and privacy
