yrds96··on What 81,000 people want from AI
For me it's so unrelevant reading about how a product is useful on the company itself website. This is at most marketing disguised as research.
yrds96··on What 81,000 people want from AI
Thanks. My galaxy s23 can't handle this website
yrds96··on Magnus Carlsen Wins the Freestyle (Chess960) World Championship
Yeah, it's hard to maintain physical performance as we are more susceptible to injuries which keeps us away from constant training, but our brain doesn't suffer by injuries, what allow us to go further. I think what makes people to drop at advanced age on "non-physical sports" it's to focus on other aspects of life over the sport because it's exaustive, if not impossible, to focus on both.
yrds96··on IBM tripling entry-level jobs after finding the limits of AI adoption
I'm not doubting of you or anything, but you just proved point above by saying you have a successful project without even mentioning which project is that.
yrds96··on ai;dr
Good article. Nothing is more frustate than reading a text that I don't even know if the person who "wrote" it, actually read it.

If someone wants to me read a giant text generated by a small and poor prompt, I don't wanna read it

If someone wants to fix that by increasing the effort and do a better prompt and express better the ideas, I rather read that prompt over the llm output

yrds96··on Jellyfin LLM/"AI" Development Policy
The effort to write shitty code is way less when you are using IA, you can create a 1k lines PR with a single prompt. This policy is important because no one is saying "we hate AI" but instead advises developers to use it with responsibility. This is coming in time since many people are using it without understanding problems and not being accountable regarding the contributions.
yrds96··on I am a programmer, not a rubber-stamp that approves Copilot generated code
Did people force React? Cloud infrastructure? Microservices? You get it.

I know there are people still using PHP 5 and deploying via FTP, but most people moved on to be better professionals and use better tools. Many people are doing this to AI, too, me included.

The problem is that some big companies and influential people treat AI as a silver bullet and convince investors and customers to think the same way. These people aren't thinking about how much AI can help people be productive. They are just thinking about how much revenue it can give until the bubble pops.

yrds96··on Want to piss off your IT department? Are the links not malicious looking enough?
Rickrolling doesn't feel the same with this bunch of ads. Sadly
yrds96··on The GitHub website is slow on Safari
Isn't the opposite? No one in this thread even cogitating how bad Safari is in terms of performance and supporting web standards? There's in one even partially blaming both. Github isn't the best example of a fast website, but if you can run it in Chrome and Firefox, even on rudimentary browsers like Palemoon (I tested) on decent hardware (even mobile), there's something clearly wrong on Safari.
yrds96··on Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale
I'm ESL, so I often check my grammar on ChatGPT, and 99% of the time it includes em dashes in the corrected sentences, which I remove or just replace with commas or hyphens to sound more natural. So maybe this was not entirely written but just revised by ChatGPT.
yrds96··on Working on databases from prison
Disregarding the lack of anywhere to go, and assuming no enemies within the prison, I see no disadvantages.
yrds96··on Asteroid Impact on Earth 2032 with Probability 1% and 8Mt Energy
I don't wanna close my eyes
yrds96··on Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone
Well, at least here in Brazil, vehicle's manuals were far way better, even explaining the process of building the car. This reminds me of the history of a guy that rebuilded a Volkswagen Saveiro just reading the manual: https://youtu.be/ZKe1gl4WCvc?si=nIvKtAESdmn03bCn (Brazilian Portuguese, with auto generated subtitles)
yrds96··on Hacked Nvidia 4090 GPU driver to enable P2P
And android
yrds96··on Florida's DeSantis signs law restricting social media for people under 16
I grew up with the birth of the internet and social media and I have the opposite feeling. I know that sound the old one monologue but I came from the time that social media were exclusively social and not a bunch of people creating content endlessly in the hope of making tons of money in the internet. I used aol, Microsoft Messenger, Facebook and a very famous Google social media on my country, called Orkut. None of these gave me anxious to see what's happening or any negative thoughts. In fact In using the internet and social medja learned so many things, meet different people outside of my country and from other states and learned about other cultures and other languages. All these years and I think the way that social media works is rotting people's brain: people barely pay attention on you because they are too busy seeing their timeline, people even use it on traffic and all of these people are adults that doesn't knew about social media until some years ago. Internet and Social media for children must be supervised and not restricted.
yrds96··on Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Cppaper: https://github.com/Yrds/cppaper

A static site/blog generator written in c++.

I initially made it with markdown support for my blog but latter I've added also templates based on json for another project.

yrds96··on Buggy animation in Atlassian Bitbucket is wasting half a CPU core at all times
This is confusing. The author could explain what should be done instead. Even if it was an svg drawing a circle, the render engine will treat as it was a square because of the canvas, which is always an square. In fact rotating an element can overlap bounds, forcing to redraw all the elements around it, causing an extra work. That could easily be solved with an format with animation support (gif, svg, av1, webm...)
yrds96··on What process created this X11 window?
Neither butterflies
yrds96··on Anti-ageing protein injection boosts monkeys’ memories
And expose your skin to the sun for few minutes. Vitamin D is important too.
yrds96··on Ooh.directory
This is the idea that I always had but never implemented. I'm glad my dream came true.
yrds96··on You Don't Need HTML
I've heard that you don't need JS neither CSS, now this is next level. Jokes apart, I think this is a readable page, despite the lack of centering.
yrds96··on THC can transfer to milk when hemp is fed to dairy cows
I love fun comments, since it brings relevant conversations.
yrds96··on Node.js HTTP client axios pushes broken update breaking production apps
Low level? Really? Can you point something that is achieved on axios with few lines of code that fetch couldn't do it with few lines of code too? I can't considerate fecth.get().then(res => res.json().then(data => /.../)) A Low level thing.
yrds96··on Ask HN: Inherited the worst code and tech team I have ever seen. How to fix it?
I think doing a full rewrite is the least thing you should consider. You should think first the least risky things to this mess. Remember your team is small and the revenue is huge(20M/year lol). I will list some things to consider (importance order) and the others can consider more points, of course:

- git: More productive and more control over the code base and the each member team responsibilities. Don't change the structure of the code. If it's a monorepo, leave it as it is. Just create simple branches like, prod and dev. Consider putting nginx configuration into the repositories as well (since it's part of the application).

- Documentation Via Comments: In this part you should improve a little of culture in this team, new code should be documented at least using comments.

- Test environment: now you have a dev branch you can push all the code to this new test environment and test things without worries. If it's possible start to write configuration environment case it's needed.

- CI/CD: now everything is traceable by git, you can write a routine to deploy every branch on it's place. Some tools self hosted you can consider: Jenkins or Drone.io are great and requires almost no maintenance(no need to hire a devops to work on this)

- Database: you have test environment and ci/cd, now you can TEST(what a great news) your database migrations. In php I can remember of phinx to starting to write migrations for this application.

- Auto Tests: I think unit testing could be considered when adding new code. Old code just leave as it is.

If you apply at least 3 things of this list I think at this point you will see that's a rewrite could be not that necessary.

"One command" production ready server
yrds96··on Microsoft Edge Beta for Linux
As a web front-end developer who develop on linux, i can finally ditch a VM with windows for edge tests.

Unlikely IE, edge its been a widely used browser since its good as chrome so people don't have the need to switch browser, so it have to be tested

Now we can expect apple release safari to linux? I don't expect this so soon.

yrds96··on Show HN: O's URL Lengthener
Besides the joke this lengthener is very useful tu generate url that people will click just because curiosity
yrds96··on A search engine that favors text-heavy sites and punishes modern web design
Damn that's is interesting search engine, this is great for search simple terms and find a bunch of blog articles about the term.
yrds96··on I recommend CGI instead of web frameworks
Fastcgi maybe? It's a little more complex but doesn't spawn process like cgi
