zensayyyon Citation cartels help mathematicians-and their universities-climb the rankings

same. I read through publications of my institute for my MS (EU, pretty big tech-focused university) and they pretty much also cite in circles (same institute and other related institutes of our university).

zensayyyon Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source

would be nice to have the collaboration feature something like LSP with an easy to implement protocol. I can see that being useful but you gotta let the people choose their tools too. If I can run neovim/jetbrains/visualstudio and can connect to someones Zed Collab protocol beacon, that would be awesome af for at least the basic features (file browser and seeing live edits). This whole notes/chat thing can stay a specific zed feature IMO

zensayyyon Google Cuts Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions

must disagree. A bloated company is the killer of innovation. Job security is no indicator for innovation. In fact, the most unsecure job produce the most innovative Tech (see Startups).

zensayyyon Every phone should be able to run personal websites

> The reason I think this is needed is because a large percent of Internet users cannot afford hosting personal websites

What? You can host a personal website for free. People are just not interested in it

zensayyyon TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, NXP to jointly build semiconductor fab in Europe

Dresden has a really good university when it comes to computer engineering, too. Plus it realtively cheap compared to other regions in Germany (like Munich)

zensayyyon People who've received a black bar on Hacker News

What? I have the black bar on every HN Page... Dont think this is what he thinks

zensayyyon How AI can distort human beliefs

that is literally the format for "perspectives" publications in scientific journals

zensayyyon 2023 Developer Survey

and it's rust again. What is this, like 8th year in the row??

zensayyyon GitHub issue - resolved

I find this strange too. GH seems to have more major incidents lately...

zensayyyon Show HN: Dog API

I always use your API to place images when I need to show something! Thanks haha

zensayyyon Ask HN: What do you want in a habit tracker?

I don't use habit trackers because: - lack of analytics / visualization - privacy concerns - too lazy to input data manually

Apple's ecosystem actually comes the closest to solving these but it's a lot of $$$

zensayyyon PayPal Cert Compromised? (Phishing Emails Signed w/ Valid Cert)

cert? that's an email. It's quite easy to change the mail from to be anything you want. Have a look on the dmarc fields if you want to be sure. Although I'm pretty sure that paypal always address the customer with their actual name...

zensayyyon Gitlab-spinoff Meltano raises another $8.2M for its open source DataOps platform

or apache airflow. I think they are just workflow schedulers with out-of-the-box plugins for data engineering.

zensayyyon Ask HN: What is the next infrastructure technologey after Kubernetes?

Could be serverless applications using FaaS but noone really knows. My guess would be that things move to data driven environments thus we will not have a platform revolution like we did with k8s but more a tooling revolution that get's rid of the anoying data transformation / engineering process. (Oh damn this would be a thing.)

Another revolution could be edge deployment which is not yet a cloud native thing. But I dont see why K8s could not handle this with some changes.

Generally, K8s bascically orchestrates processes on different nodes. So this is pretty much where platforms hand over responsibility to OS.
