Ask HN: Are we at the start or the peak of a boom cycle in tech? 4 by AbstractH24 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Feels so hard to identify. Baffles me that 18 months ago we were discussing a “VC winter” and possibility of a ‘07-like recession to reign in the excess of late-2020 & 2021. Now it feels like froth and companies that barely do what they claim is everywhere. Yet so much VC money is still on the sidelines.

Tell HN: What Performers Hear in Their In-Ear Monitors During Concerts 2 by modinfo | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I wanted to share something fascinating about live concerts that not everyone might know. As a radio amateur and tech enthusiast, I recently delved into the world of in-ear monitors (IEMs) used by performers on stage. Here's what I've discovered, and I thought it might interest you too. In-ear monitors are specialized earbuds that performers wear during live shows. They play a crucial role in allowing artists to monitor the sound in real-time, which is essential for a precise performance. So, what exactly do they hear in those monitors? Here are some key points: Personalized Sound Mix: Each performer gets a customized mix of audio, which can include different levels of vocals, instruments, drums, and more. This helps them hear themselves and other band members accurately. Communication with Technicians: In-ear monitors also facilitate communication with ba...

Ask HN: Anyone left their job because of RTO? 4 by snailb | 0 comments on Hacker News. Rumours has it, our company is planning RTO. I've been working remote for over a decade and not planning to go back to the office. I was wondering if anyone here went through this and actually left because RTO was enforced. How did you go through it all? appreciate any feedback.

I connected Windows XP to the Internet; it was fine 2 by mouse_ | 2 comments on Hacker News. A couple months ago I installed XP onto a ThinkPad X120e; being the first dual-core AMD ThinkPad the hardware is relatively emaciated, and I wanted something lightweight and productive for it. I used legacyupdate.net to apply all available important and recommended updates, as well as some nice-to-haves such as updates to the .NET infrastructure. I have been using the Supermium browser, which is an up to date fork of Chromium for older versions of Windows, including XP. All of this has gone off without a hitch, and the laptop has been great to me with its current configuration. Recently in the tech news sphere I have seen articles exclaiming what a bad idea this is, demonstrating how connecting XP to the internet for just a few minutes leaves it riddled with viruses. Decided to run an MBAM scan with updated databases to see for myself, and it's totally clean. In other news, this thing is...

Ask HN: With the rise of AI, how to approach my new career in software dev? 4 by aireo | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hello, HN: I recently graduated from a two-year diploma program in software development, and I’d love some advice for getting started in the industry (and, perhaps, for landing my first job). Apologies if this post is long-winded. Some background: I’m graduating from this program in my mid-thirties. I previously graduated with a Master’s in English, and I believe that previous experience has helped me develop strong soft skills that will be beneficial regardless of job or industry. During my software development education, AI exploded and seems to have changed everything, most immediately and obviously in the tech sector. No one seems to know what the ultimate impact of this technology will be, and it has, understandably, caused some anxiety and confusion. This is certainly the case for me and my peers. Today, I read a Medium article by Matt Welsh[1], a well-known comp...

Ask HN: How many of the HN "Who is Hiring" jobs are evergreen? 4 by giantg2 | 6 comments on Hacker News. I keep seeing the same jobs for quite a few of the months. They tend to be somewhat generic. An example would be Jobs with "Philadelphia" in the title or body.Are these real jobs, or have the corporate scum begun polluting our job thread?

Ask HN: Are there any movements to create the equivalent of a sitemap for LLM's? 2 by thomasfromcdnjs | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been working on an indigenous language project for a while now -> https://ift.tt/o20Tt8Z It currently fits inside the token limit of gpt-4o (120k tokens), so I am able to prompt inject it and make a translator-like bot that has amazing results -> https://ift.tt/filLGHj (this is above and beyond good enough for the project goals) The problem being that per translation I am paying for 100k+ tokens. Other than the Github YAML version of the dict, I have a publicly indexed (Google) html version of it -> https://ift.tt/OHpQI5M But obviously if the model's had trained on this data, it would already have an intrinsic knowledge of it and I would have to prompt inject a lot less. I know that models have their training cut offs every iteration, but is there a way to ensure that you are crawled during the next. (I'm talking in the cont...

Ask HN: Can a website kill my internet connection? (WebRTC) 2 by l1am0 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I have weird behavior when using https://zencastr.com/. The moment I join their videocall-room, my internet becomes super flacky, and drops entirely. My connection is via WiFi, and the WiFi stays connected and everything, but no connection to neither zencastr.com, fast.com, google.com works. The tool uses WebRTC for the call, hence I assume it might have something to do with that, but my assumption so far was always that a website I open in my browser does not have any effect to the underlying network stack or so. When I use a competitor tool, riverside.fm or google meet (both using WebRTC as well) I don't have any of this problems. My question: Is it possible that a bug in their WebRTC kills my internet? If yes, shouldn't that be prohibited by whatever security mechanism in my browser?

Tell HN: In Memory of Alexander Thomas Drummond 3 by Frogge | 0 comments on Hacker News. I don't know much about this website, but I recently found Alex's account on here (atdrummond), and his posts where he contributed tens of thousands of dollars to community members here during the Holidays to help people who were struggling. This was his most recent holiday post: https://ift.tt/0Npo1LE He was a great man who helped many different communities of people like he did here, and he sadly passed away earlier this year. I didn't know him personally but I was able to witness his amazing generosity on more than one occasion. This memorial page to help raise funds for Crohn's & Colitis was set up by his family after his passing: https://ift.tt/3FXyInv... Thank you for reading, I don't know if anyone seeing this will have felt or been impacted by his generosity, but I wanted to try to inform more people of the great life this man lead and the charity he spread everyw...

Ask HN: Resume tips to get more responses from job applications? 3 by cgb223 | 2 comments on Hacker News. In a pre-COVID world, I used to have recruiters in my LinkedIn 24/7. Now I cant even get an initial interview when proactively applying to hundreds of jobs. Its a different job market we're in that requires more cleverness to be noticed. What tricks do you use to stand out and quantifiable increase callbacks / recruiter reachouts on your resume or LinkedIn?

Ask HN: How to prove we aren't the source of a noise complaint? 4 by blackhaj7 | 6 comments on Hacker News. We live in an apartment building and the neighbor below has complained on 3 occasions now that there is lots of noise coming from our apartment. My wife and I are incredibly boring and are absolutely certain the source of the noise is not us. We never have guests over, we haven't moved any furniture, we don't stay up late, nor do we bang our feet etc. For example, they complained about banging between 3am - 7am last night when we were in bed early due to me being ill so we were 100% not the source of that noise. However, it is hard to prove and I am concerned that if this turns into something more serious and they want to take action we will need to prove the noise isn't coming from us. Do you have any recommendations on how I can gather evidence? E.g. sound/video recording devices that you can recommend that allow us to record our lack of noise in a low effort...

Ask HN: How did RedHat Linux get it's first users? 3 by benjamaan | 3 comments on Hacker News. I'm helping a friend with their distribution strategy for a product similar to Redhat Linux and we were wondering how they got their first users/customers. Was it just a build it and they will come story or was there some more early stage growth hacking going on? It's hard to find much on the early stage.

Re: Google AI Overviews – Genuinely, Why? 7 by suddenexample | 3 comments on Hacker News. Why does Google (supposedly) think AI Overviews are a good feature? This might come across as a blatant attempt to bash Google's AI Overviews, but is actually a genuine question that I've been asking myself constantly over the past few days. Wanted to post here to see if the HN community had any takes/insight that I might be missing. My confusion comes from multiple places: 1. Destroying the trustworthiness of the Google brand. It's hard for me to believe that Google would intentionally destroy decades of earned trustworthiness and goodwill toward its core product and money maker by pinning AI answers that will always inherently (due to the technology) have a chance of being completely false. Google search has become a meme, not just in tech circles but in the wider world. Every news publication seems to have reported on this. People that I've never heard talking about technolog...

Tell HN: Stwicfm,Woitwicfy 3 by andrewfromx | 1 comments on Hacker News. I got the most amazing slack from the CEO: "sending this when its convenient for me, work on it whenever is convenient for you." Maybe every slack message should be assumed to be STWICFM,WOITWICFY unless otherwise stated. Would clear up so many freak outs over messages from the boss at odd times.

I spent a year and $5,700 to see if ChatGPT can beat the market (S&P 500) 12 by ishtiaqrahman | 6 comments on Hacker News. Exactly one year ago, on May 16th, 2023, I started investing in the stock market using LLM-powered autonomous agents, which I named The GPT Investor. These investments were real, made with actual cash in the NYSE and NASDAQ, not just paper trading. My goal was to determine if autonomous agents powered by Large Language Models, such as GPT-4, could "beat the market." "Beating the market" refers to achieving investment returns that exceed the performance of a benchmark index, such as the S&P 500. It implies that an investor's portfolio has generated a higher return compared to the average market return over a specified period. This concept is often used to evaluate the success of investment strategies or the skill of portfolio managers. I wanted the GPT Investor to compete against the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, also known as $SPY, ...

Ask HN: How would you chunk a large Excel file? 2 by codingclaws | 3 comments on Hacker News. Let's say you had an Excel file with 10,000 rows and you wanted to break it up into many Excel files each with 500 records. Each new file should have the header fields from the original. How would you do it? I did it by writing a node script but I'm wondering if there's an easier way.

Ask HN: Have you tried weight loss drugs? 5 by slayerjain | 1 comments on Hacker News. I just saw the recent South Park episode which talked about weight loss drugs but they didn’t take any clear stand on the matter. In fact I thought they were mostly positive about it. Can you please your practical experiences with them?

How is it that Amazon's price per unit is still so often nonsensical? 3 by chrisjj | 1 comments on Hacker News. E.g. smoke alarm, "£24,950.00/kg". https://ift.tt/E0onyA8 Its is not even remotely accurate mathematically.

My dad and I replaced a 100MB HDD with a 1GB HDD for $100. When did this happen? 23 by xnyan | 20 comments on Hacker News. In a very early memory and the start of my obsession with computers, my father upgraded his 100MB hard drive with a 1GB drive for $100 USD. I remember everything about that moment such as the smell of a room packed electronics, how excited my dad was to get what seemed like an inconceivable amount of storage (694 floppies, I remember doing the math), and the exact purchase price and size, $100 and 1GB. The only thing I don't remember is when this happed. I can't ask my father unfortunately but would love to place this event in time. I remember it was very notable that 1GB could be bought for as low as $100 and it happened at a small local PC sales and repair store located in the US South. 1995 maybe?

Ask HN: Rename "accessibility" features to "advanced" features to encourage use? 3 by amichail | 2 comments on Hacker News. Do you think more people would consider using features under "advanced" than under "accessibility"?

Ask HN: How do YOU choose which business ideas to work on? 2 by FrenchDevRemote | 1 comments on Hacker News. I get startup/app/business ideas every week. Every couple of months or so I get really annoyed when I see that someone built something I already thought of but dismissed as not good enough of an idea/problem or as a waste of time. I know: execution is what matters, ideas are worthless, but still, it doesn't make it any less frustrating. If you had dozens of ideas right now, and a very limited budget to validate them, how would you choose which idea to work on? My goal is not build the next unicorn, just a profitable business that could sustain me.

Ask HN: Any advice for someone getting back in the game after 13yrs at startups? 5 by throwaway2016a | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi all, I'm thinking of getting back into the working world after 13 years of working for startup companies (10 as CTO and 3 as CEO). Neither of the companies took off but were until recently enough to pay the bills. Cliff Notes version: I have a Comp Sci degree, wrote a couple books, spoken at a bunch of conferences, and have always been a hands-on leader. At one point I was managing a 15 person team. I've brought several product lines from 0 code to 6/7 figure revenue. And I was able to keep my team happy and advance their careers. And my HN throw away profile has almost 6000 karma but I can't take karma to the bank . My concern is that 13 years of "wearing lots of hats" has not positioned me well for the job market. I know I can be a great principal engineer, manager, or executive but I don't think my interviewing skills (I ha...

Ask HN: How do you handle LICENSE notices in published Docker images? 4 by mrmattyboy | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey all :) I was put off releasing a pre-built docker image for an open source project, mainly due to mess of licenses that is Docker. I finally decided to do it by doing the following (for a Python-based application): * Create a LICENSE.third-party file, containing information about where to find LICENSES for the installed third-party applications (https://ift.tt/c8BarmK) * Use pip-licenses to generate per-package license files for each of the installed pip packages (https://ift.tt/lO0I6Ao) * Copied all 'doc' license files from deb packages to common directory (https://ift.tt/PdstZE9) * Manually copy licenses for tooling that is installed in the Docker build (https://ift.tt/oED3hbX) I'm wondering if anyone else has tackled this and/or seen it done anywhere else? How have others implemented anything similar? Thanks! :)

Ask HN: What makes Windows 11 perform much worse than Windows XP? 17 by CppPro | 8 comments on Hacker News. An operating system is a layer between the hardware and the user of the PC, what exactly makes such layer perform worse every generation and why it requires more and more power?

Ask HN: Can we still run mobile computers off AA batteries? 5 by nxobject | 1 comments on Hacker News. This question came out of a lunchtime conversation with some colleagues, none of us who work in hardware or embedded: there was a period of time, up to the late 90s, where certain mobile computers and PDAs could be run off AAs for a long period of time, with sacrifices of I/O, display fidelity, and storage. Examples at the end. Beyond size and aesthetics, is this possible today – or is this no longer possible? (For example, do modern displays hoover up too much energy? Do 5G, Bluetooh and WiFi radios constantly suck power?) Here were some examples of late-era portables that ran off AAs that we came up with: - the Psion palmtop series used a couple of AAs, plus a coin cell battery for memory; and ran for a week [1] – the Apple eMate, a Newton (ARM) in clamshell laptop form, which ran off 6 AA rechargable cells that could be swapped for off-the-shelf AAs, and ran for a week as well; ...

Ask HN: Creating a language/runtime for fun, is this idea dumb or not 2 by hot_gril | 1 comments on Hacker News. I was thinking of writing a language/runtime on top of Golang for fun and self-education. It'd be interpreted and use an event loop, sorta like JS except with opposite defaults: every function is async unless otherwise marked sync. A lot of built-in stuff like math would be sync, and it'd warn you if the event loop is spinning very fast (meaning you should probably paint more stuff as sync). No strong reason for using Golang other than it's the one sorta popular language I've never used, so I'd get to learn it. But I don't want to do a project that's pointless even in theory. For applications with lots of blocking I/O, I feel like an event loop can be more efficient than Golang greenthreading. Does anyone want to talk me into or out of this?

Why I failed in $1,7k monthly revenue in my first SaaS? 3 by evganin | 6 comments on Hacker News. I was pleased to achieve $3k in revenue with my first SaaS. I had never experienced this before, and I believe it's a good result for a first attempt. But.... However, I'm facing a pressing issue with a staggering churn rate of 52%, which is causing my monthly revenue to stagnate. This is a substantial hurdle that I'm urgently seeking to overcome, and I would greatly appreciate your insights and assistance. Customers - 62 Active customers - 29 I have a few hypotheses: My clients (small and medium business owners) don't need subscriptions. They want to take one-time 100,000 emails and go out to use it. Solution: change the client's profile to lead generation specialists (they need a considerable amount of different emails) 2. I need to catch long-term attention on my platform Solution: add email warm-up and prospecting like in Apollo or Instantly 3. It may be okay for...

Ask HN: Why is ChatGPT allowed to scrape other sites via prompts? 6 by jbryu | 4 comments on Hacker News. The fact that I can give ChatGPT any URL and extract html content from it feels like a big TOS breach for most sites. Am I misunderstanding something about the legality of scraping? Aren't developers discouraged from scraping like this in the first place for for-profit projects?

G2 edited my 1 star review to a 5 star Review without my consent 20 by thexumaker | 3 comments on Hacker News. I gave Merge.dev a 1 star review on G2 after my poor experiences with them(https://ift.tt/a7Vc16k) I did so with a company account but I had left that company in mid 2023 yet I recently saw that the review had been changed to a 5 star review in Janurary 2024? How is this legal and is there any way I can get this fixed?

Ask HN: Why don't VCs just "suck it up" and pay founders a competitive salary? 2 by burtonator | 0 comments on Hacker News. Most startup founders and early employees make about 1/2 of what they can working for MAANG companies. IMO this leads to the following problems: 1. Most startups that COULD exist are never actually started because the founders want to be making higher salaries working at Google/Microsoft/Meta/etc. 2. The only founders that actually move forward are ones that have a significant amount of cash in the back from previous startups. 3. The founders and investors aren't properly aligned. The founders want to exit but the investors want them to go long so that they get their unicorn exit. Now #3 is mitigated in some situations by having the founders do 'partial founder buyout' where they sell some of their equity into the next round for a few million dollars each. But this is an admission that there's a problem. It just seems like everyone...

Ask HN: How does modern FreeCAD compare with Solidworks? 15 by ActorNightly | 2 comments on Hacker News. Its been a while since I have touched Freecad, and would like to go open source for my Cad projects, but the last time I used it it was severely lacking in features compared to Solidworks. The main thing Im looking for is parametric modeling. The use case is basically sketches with constraints -> parts -> assembly with constraints -> drawings that show driven dimentions. I have the time to learn it, but I don't want to be writing custom python scripts to do the above.

Ask HN: Which niche online businesses would you love to own? 3 by bhag2066 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm looking for inspiration: Have you had your eye on a small website or piece of software delivered online, delivered seamlessly online (e.g. no sales team or implementation) that is just a great business but it's so good the owner won't sell? My example is BuiltWith. What is yours?

Ask HN: Hacker News-like forum, specific to Game Development? 6 by seattle_spring | 3 comments on Hacker News. I'm a game development hobbyist and I'd love to find a community similar to HN, where a mix of technology and industry-related news is shared and discussed. Does something like this exist? Any other communities or publications useful for someone interested in the gamedev space? Bonus points if they have "Who is hiring" type threads with actual participation from gamedevs, rather than the typical job listings that are outdated and opaque. This was posted 2 years ago [1], and some good resources were shared there. Would love to know if there are any new spaces to check out in 2024. [1] https://ift.tt/S10RjPb

Ask HN: Why do you all think that Htmx is such a recent development? 1 by Akronymus | 0 comments on Hacker News. As far as I can tell, all the necessary tech was there in 2005, with ajax. So I am curious why it was developed after react, despite being so much simpler in concept/aligning more with how websites used to be developed before rendering on the client became that popular.

Ask HN: Want to Work in Different Areas 2 by dlonghh | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been doing full stack development for about 4 years now, I’m pretty tired of it. I would like to move more into server side type work but my roles have been more heavily focused on the frontend so far so I’m lacking experience. I do side projects that interest me in this area but especially in this job market that doesn’t really cut it. I don’t feel comfortable even looking at jobs asking for C++ experience for example, knowing that my side projects that I work on for fun would be my only source of experience to talk about, when the job is asking for someone who has real industry experience. Are there other things I can do to make this transition? Has anyone else done something similar and willing to share what you did?

How to Change Your Problem-Solving Mindset and Boost Creativity 2 by xCodehunter | 4 comments on Hacker News. I am tired of thinking about problems and trying to solve them.

Now, I just want help from this community on how to think creatively and get great ideas. I would love to hear ideas about how we can use AI, especially generative AI in any sector which is Impactful or any problems you all face.

I just spent the past 5 hours comparing LLMs 5 by mlashuel | 0 comments on Hacker News. The top 2 takeaways I took from this is that. 1. No one should still be using GPT 3.5 or Gemini 1.0, They may get the job done, but 98% of the time one of these LLMs (Gemini 1.5 Pro, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT4o, and Perplexity) will give you a better response. 2. The best way to always get the best response is by always comparing multiple AI Chatbots and choosing the best answer. This is because If you are only using ChatGPT-3.5, llama3, claude sonnet, or mistral 100% of the time there is another LLM with a better answer. If you are only using Gemini 1.0 96% of the time there is another LLM with a better answer. If you are only using perplexity 86% of the time there is another LLM with a better answer. If you are only using ChatGPT-4o 73% of the time there is another LLM with a better answer. If you are only using Gemini 1.5 Pro 73% of the time there is another LLM with a better answer. If you are on...

Ask HN: What are your predictions for the Internet in 2-5 years? 2 by cl42 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Will AI-generated content destroy the web? Will Search Generative Experiences (SGE) replace the need for organic content? Will closed communities and curated directories become a thing? Will mixed reality somehow save the day? I'm curious what folks consider the definite (i.e., well defined, concrete) future state to be... Or what would you forecast?

Is software getting slower faster than hardware getting faster? 2 by libcheet | 8 comments on Hacker News. Recently we had a discussion in a local group of programmers and there was a newbie question about which mac laptop he should buy. He wanted a mac because some tasks required a mac. My immediate advice was to buy an m1 since he was trying to optimize the budget. And my argument was that it is fast and will handle all his workloads. But I got a little push-back saying that "Android Studio" was not fast enough on some of the group's m1 macs and they switched to m3. Opinions were divided when we discussed this in our group in about 50/50. Some people were saying that they have m1 macs and it works perfectly and others saying that it is ok but was lagging on some tasks. My surprise is that I remember when m1 came it was like a product from future aliens. It was miles ahead of any competition and nobody had a single thought that it couldn't handle anything. I remem...

Raspberry Pi vs. Raspberry Pi 2 by chrisjj | 0 comments on Hacker News. https://ift.tt/sHmZg1a "Raspberry Pi maker mulls £300m London listing The charitable foundation is close to appointing bankers ahead of a potential float that could value it at more than £300m" "Raspberry Pi was founded in 2009 by Dr Eben Upton, who created a single-board computer that has been used to champion programming in schools." Fact is, long before this, E Upton had resigned from Raspberry Pi, the charitable foundation, https://ift.tt/UDqH3Ix and formed a new company, then confusingly changing its name to Raspberry Pi Ltd. The company going public is E Upton's one, not the charitable original.

Ask HN: Why do you think OpenAI forbids changing email addresses? 3 by mthoms | 3 comments on Hacker News. OpenAI doesn't allow paying ChatGPT+ subscribers to change the email address associated with an account. But this is entry level functionality for web apps. 99% of all web apps in the world allow this. So, why do you suppose this is? I'm currently signed up with my personal email address hello@myname.com and want to use something more anonymous. Is it possible that this is exactly the kind of thing they are trying to prevent?

Ask HN: How to not get steamrolled by OpenAI? 5 by charbzg | 10 comments on Hacker News. If you're building a startup on top of the OpenAI (GPT-4) platform, how do you know your idea won't be made redundant by advances in the core GPT model itself? For example: the recent voice/conversational AI feature included with the GPT-4o release completely steamrolls 100s of startups working on enabling and improving voice conversations with AI. So how do you know that any idea built on top of OpenAI is future-proof and actually adds value, and IF the goal of OpenAI is to literally create AGI, doesn't this mean all software is redundant?

Ask HN: Founders who offer free/OS and paid SaaS, how do you manage your code? 2 by neya | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am curious as to how do you solve the problem of maintaining different offerings of your product. 1) Do you have two separate codebases for free and paid? Or do you have some sort of standard workflow where you have two different branches? 2) How do you handle updates to your product? 3) How about employee access? Thanks in advance!

Ask HN: Could advanced M-Line chips ever substitute for Nvidia H100s? 2 by Devolver | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm researching the AI GPU market landscape... I don't have the tech background in semiconductors to evaluate this question: In theory, in (say) 2 years from now, could Mac Servers (with, say M5 Ultras) be used in a data center as a substitute for NVIDIA's H100s? If so, why isn't anyone other than Apple exploring this direction? It not, why not? If you grok the tech, please explain to someone who doesn't. THANK YOU!!!

Ask HN: Am I being too picky? 4 by danielPort9 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I have worked as a software engineer for over a decade. I would describe myself as someone who cares but not all the time. For example, I can provide a high quality solution for a task that requires it… but I cannot do it for every single task in our board. I used to work in places in which I was giving myself 100%, let’s say, one sprint (2 week’s duration) every 3. It worked great. The other 2 sprints I was doing a good enough job. I now work for a so-called “high performing” team, and I hate it. Everything must be done with a high quality standard and it must be done “on time” (there are no deadlines, but the moment your task is taking more time than it was estimated, you need to provide evidence of why that’s the case). Not sure if that’s how things should be, or perhaps I am too picky or if simply I don’t fit the company culture. I like to do great things, but I cannot be a “high-performant” engineer all...

Why does 30 feel like a deadline? 2 by zemahran | 6 comments on Hacker News. I’m going to be 28 in a month, and I’ve never felt more emergency in my entire life even though I just had a good pizza and everything seems chill. This feeling sometimes haunts me at night. Some days are good, I sleep well and I have a good morning coffee. Other days I feel like I am an absolute fucking failure. I stopped taking advice from anyone regarding career expectations because I suddenly woke up to the fact that everyone is probably trying to figure it out, even the most successful ones. Luck is probably a bigger component of most successes and no one seems to know everything for sure. All what someone has in terms of advice seems to be their “best guesses”. From where I stand I don’t see any reason to take someone’s best guess over mine. If we’re all trying to figure it out, then I don’t trust anybody, except maybe a few second hand experiences from people that I find worthy. Because we’re all dif...

Ask HN: Suggestions for creative web projects for a web developer to create 2 by kevmm | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've a not very bad experience with web, I'd call myself intermediate, and I've some free time to spend so I was looking part-time projects to work on. What ideas do you suggest? I'm looking for something medium complexity, that's free to create (I don't have a billion dollar credit in Google Cloud), wouldn't require a great amount of effort or a group of people to create? I like to create open-source, simple UI yet modern, mostly free (profit would be nice, but the main point). Questions that may help: 1- What's a problem that you meet in your every day life that a proper web project could solve? 2- What's a site that you use often, but usually flooded with ads, and you wish there was a free alternative to use? 3- What app would you pay for if you found a good alternative (donation or monthly subscriptions)? 4- What's a feature ...

In ML, I'm looking for something to absolutely learn from scratch. I'm fairly comfortable with Linear Algebra so anything that helps understand the algorithm underneath such resources will be very beneficial.

Ask HN: Choosing Between Two Jobs 2 by leinkasorafkt | 2 comments on Hacker News. i have a good job with a lot of freedom and an amazing manager with whom i go way back, but am struggling more and more with some of the people i work with. the defacto leader of our group/team (he has no actual managerial title or responsibilities) belittles or speaks over people all the time, not just me. his verbal output is easily 80% of the total in any given meeting or forum. sometimes i will just skip meetings because my presence won't have an impact anyway. there's another who guy will talk at length in every standup about every little detail that he got done the previous day and also has a habit of interrupting others. the other team members are the complete opposite and terrific to work alongside. any ideas i have are either dismissed outright or pawned off later as someone else's. i know that if i start saying something in a meeting i won't be able to finish my train of thoug...

Why programmers choose convenience over performance? 5 by craftoman | 8 comments on Hacker News. Several tools are resource hungry, making it challenging for small businesses to keep up with server costs. Zod for example is 150 slower than regular typeof checks. I wrote small article for those who are interested https://ift.tt/EQqpMf1. The problem is not Zod, but rather the programmers who lack the ability to write efficient code. As I write this, my VSCode uses 4.37GB RAM, my terminal Warp (Built in Rust) uses 976MB RAM and Spotify 1.28GB. These numbers are outrageous to an old senior programmer. Let’s not forget that Nasa managed to launch rockets to the moon with only 64kb of RAM.

Proposal: Standardize TCP Port 41 for AI Services – Here's Why 2 by PhotoAomicLab | 1 comments on Hacker News. In the playful spirit of leet speak where "41" stands for "AI," I propose we consider standardizing TCP port 41 as the default for AI services across the internet. This idea started as a fun experiment when I began deploying my chatbot on this port, but it sparked some thoughts on the broader applicability and benefits. Why Port 41 for AI? Memorability and Symbolism: Just as port 80 is known for HTTP, associating port 41 with AI could create a memorable link, making it easier for developers and users to remember and adopt. Standardization Benefits: With the proliferation of AI services, having a designated port could simplify network configurations, firewall rules, and security protocols, making it easier to deploy and manage AI applications consistently. Technical and Practical Considerations: There is the need to consider the technical feasibility ...

Ask HN: Open data sources for IBAN banking data? 2 by junto | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’m interested in find a dataset of all banks with their bank codes, so given an IBAN I can confirm the bank name and BIC code. In Europe I can get a list of all banks and their BIC’s via ECB but they don’t contain the bank code part of the IBAN to do a match. At least I can’t see a way from that dataset to perform a match. https://ift.tt/DgzCTto Swift has responsibility for maintaining the list but keeps it behind locked doors. They have an IBAN Plus paid account but there is no hint of the actual pricing on their website, so I assume it’s expensive. Germany does publish a list of German banks, which is useful, but is just a fraction of the European data. https://ift.tt/kMsjOQg Does anyone know of any other sources? There are lots of websites (lots of spammy ones too), that expose this data in some way or another, which I guess could be scraped, but I assume they aren’t paying Swift for simple ...

Is Google UX Design Certificate Worth It? 2 by jobseeker_agogo | 0 comments on Hacker News. I am hoping to move from a mostly backend role into a frontend role that has to interact with design teams. Basically I'm hoping to land a frontend role where the design matters, like a user-facing website. Eventually, I would like to move into something like a UX developer role which actually takes part in the UX design process while still being (at least partially) a programming job. My background includes 5 years experience with both backend and frontend work, but is heavily skewed towards the backend. I am working on this also by trying to position myself for any frontend work that comes up, but that's a work-in-progress for sure. Without a lot of frontend work to put on a resume, I'm looking for alternative ways to signal that I am motivated and capable of working in these kinds of roles. I was hoping that going through the UX Design certificate (on Coursera), and implementin...

I'm puzzled how anyone trusts ChatGPT for code 8 by chrisjj | 3 comments on Hacker News. I asked ChatGPT to convert a simple 12-line Python program to Lisp. The result is broken by mismatched brackets. Yes. In Lisp. I ask for correction and receive the errant bracket moved, still mismatched. I ask again and the bracket gets removed. Fine?? No. A loop break has been mistranslated to a return from function, so execution is nonsense. I wonder how much user faith in ChatGPT is based on examples in which the errors are not apparent ... to a certain kind of user.

Ask HN: If you could ask an IC from another company anything what would you ask? 2 by topaztee | 2 comments on Hacker News. alot of the products and features we use everyday are built by faceless software engineers who arent in the limelight. I thought it might be interesting to start a blog where each week I ask an software engineers/ics(individual contributors) from a different company a few questions to learn how they do things differently. questions I'm thinking could be interesting: - Whens the last time you used an algorithm (eg b-tree) and for what? - What did you set on fire and what happened next? - whats a new interesting tool or site youve been using lately? - What feature did you build youre proud of and why? How does that sound? What other questions would be interesting to hear? and is anyone interested in joining to be an interviewee

Seeking Ideas for Preschool/School Projects 2 by ElCapitanMarkla | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm reaching out for some creative suggestions. I have a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old attending preschool/school, and both sets of teachers have asked for ideas from parents for skills they could show or projects they could help with in the classroom. I have a background in computer science, primarily focused on web development these days. Additionally, I have loads of potentially useful toys at home, including a 3D printer, DIY CNC mill, webcams, Raspberry Pis, old laptops, etc. What are some engaging activities or projects I could bring to either level of the schools that would be both fun and educational for the kids? Particularly ideas we could do as a class vs breaking into smaller groups. I have had a couple of ideas so far - Processing based art interactive which the kids can suggest updates for and instantly see the changes. - Something RTLSDR based, so we can play with antennas ...

Ask HN: Sugar packets with something other than sugar? 4 by JoeAltmaier | 1 comments on Hacker News. Anybody else experiencing sugar packets with non-sugar white powder in them instead? At a local restaurant I ordered regular tea because they don't have sweet tea. Emptied a sugar packet in and stirred fifty times with the table knife (nobody has those long-handled iced-tea spoons any more!) Took a drink and it wasn't sweet, not a particle, not one iota of sweetness. What gives? No sugar crystals on the bottom of the cup, which are always there because cold beverages don't dissolve sugar well. What's happening? I dumped another sugar packet in and watched - it rained down and ... disappeared! So, it isn't sugar. Dumping some in my hand, wetting a fingertip and dabbing, get a taste and ... nothing. No sweetness. The packets were marked SysCo, so that doesn't tell my anything. I'm kind of worried. Somebody substituted some white powder for sugar, sold it to ...

Ask HN: Did Monday.com's SendGrid service get compromised? 2 by throwmumaway | 0 comments on Hacker News. Just got a fake internal email from monday.com as a customer. It passed DKIM, SPF, DMARC, Composite Auth and the Sender IP from Sendgrid looks legit under hostname o9.email.monday.com I won't mention the body text and the subject, but the email itself looks fine with actual monday.com links but only the call-to-action is a short URL so leading me to conclude that it is fake. Anyone getting suspicious emails from them?

Ask HN: Keyboard with same feel as Apple's butterfly keyboards? 2 by atombender | 0 comments on Hacker News. I was one of the people who actually loved Apple's ill-fated butterfly keyboards. They were super tactile and had really low travel; the keys were barely raised above the laptop surface. I don't enjoy Apple's current keyboards as much. These days there are tons of niche players like Keychron making big, loud mechanical full-travel keyboards, whereas nobody seems to be nerding about slim, low-profile, chiclet-style keyboards. I've heard good things about Logitech's MX Keys series, but the travel seems on par with Apple's current keyboards. I'm not necessarily after an actual butterfly keyboard, just one with the same feel.

Ask HN: How do you develop and maintain a good note-taking habit? 11 by gfourfour | 1 comments on Hacker News. I see a lot of people here talking about the importance of their respective note-taking systems for their life and productivity. I would like to gain the benefits of such a system but I run into a couple issues. The first is that when I do take notes, I over-write them. I’ll find myself nearly word-for-word copying the information I need. This is a habit from my years in education where I would basically transcribe lectures as a way to maintain attention as a strategy for ADHD. Therefore, my notes end up a muddled version of the source material and I’ll just use the source material for reference, making the initial note take a big waste of time from the standpoint of having an easy reference available. Another problem I run into is that when I’m very attentive to a task or piece of information and want to take some note on it or reference notes from elsewhere, switching con...

Ask HN: Why isn't it easy to compile dlls inline? 2 by h_tbob | 0 comments on Hacker News. I was dinking with some c++ and I wonder why it's not simple to just inline dlls when you do a release build? Seems like it would be easier. Is this a relic from when disk space was at a premium and it just never changed? I'm trying to compile some code and it works, but I found I have to copy the dll to the working dir and I was just wondering why cmake or vs build doesn't just have a "fat binary" build... would make life easy. Not complaining, just wondering.

Ask HN: Nineteen Year Old Needing Advice 7 by 343throwaway432 | 16 comments on Hacker News. Hi, I’m a 19 year old from Western Europe looking for advice. I am currently studying CS in a T200 American University and I’m miserable. I came to America as I have a dream about starting a company here. I’ve started successful side projects in hs and currently make around $5k per year from them. I wanted to go straight into the industry after high school, but my parents advised me to go to college. However, I don’t like it here, and I’m asking for your advice on what I should do. The issues I have with my situation - My school is in a small town, and has a very small mentality. I have not met a single person who knows what they want to do with their life. I feel as if most of these people will end up working average 9-5 jobs. Even the “entrepreneur” clubs at the school do not have ambitious people. - I have met insane people. I’ve had to cut out many “friends” as they tried taking advantage...

Ask HN: Does Clicking on 'Dead' Comments Freeze your Browser Too? 3 by aragonite | 4 comments on Hacker News. I've been experiencing an issue where clicking on 'dead' comments on HackerNews causes my browser to freeze for about 5-10 seconds, and my CPU fan turns noticeably louder during this time. This happens consistently and I've tested it across multiple browsers with the same result. For example (assuming it's not a problem peculiar to my machine) you should be able to see this behavior for yourself by going to this link: https://ift.tt/uXFIZbs and trying to expand the comment by "Brian_K_White" by clicking the ”[17 more]” link.

But I thought this would be a fun father-son thing to learn together and help expand his coding skills.

Ask HN: My brain is telling me to quit everything. What should I do? 2 by zer0sand0nes | 2 comments on Hacker News. I come from a household of strict parents, where if a non-optimal grade was brought home, you got punished, mostly emotionally but sometimes also physically. This pushed me to get good grades at all costs and it lead me to creative ways of doing that. I was on the 3rd grade while reading a lesson about the Earth and Nature and it took me a whole Sunday to just read one page. I didn't know it then, but I do know now, I had ADHD (inattentive type). Needless to say, it took me way longer to get anything done in comparison with my peers. Though, all the way up to the end of high school, I earned a 4.0. All of this I accomplished through relentless dedication to school work. It was at the time when I got a scholarship to study in the States. The first two years, I did ok, cause the classes weren't that bad. But in the subsequent two years when things got hectic, I b...
