I experienced this in Japan and Korea as well. There are of course, neighborhoods where noise is tolerated but while I was there I noticed most commuters whisper conversations on their phone. The thought of blasting a call or music on speakerphone is unconscionable.

Evergreen excuses for tech people desperately want to work. I get why, it would give you agency to do other things you WANT to do. I tried reviewing a colleagues agent-generated code and it was practically unreviewable. I watched him blame himself, saying he just needed to adjust a parameter. He tried everything except admit the machine does not conceptionaly understand what he was asking.

What a rude thing to post. Hund, don't listen to this entitled nonsense. There is a reason it's called human error. Companies 100x your size and 10000x your revenue like AWS, Microsoft, CloudFlare, CrowdStrike can't figure out how to accurately provide status dashboards. At least you took the time to explain your mistakes. If anything you got another supporter for your honesty.

Postman pulled this same stunt in 2022, limiting how many times you can run your own API class from your machine. To this day I've never reconciled with them or their product management decisions.

My grandfather was a crop duster pilot in the 60s-70s. He died of Parkinson's almost 4 years ago today. He is the only one in my family to succumb to this disease. For a brief moment I was relieved to know there was some explanation for his suffering.

Then I read the HN comments. It is beyond infuriating to read a well researched paper with 1300 open cases legal with overwhelming evidence only to be met with "zero chance this is real."

What would that look like? A network with built-in rate & connection limiting?

The closest thing I can think of is the Gemini protocol browser. It uses TOFU for authentication, which requires a human to initially validate every interaction.

You must ask candidates to solve problems directly related to the role. If you’re hiring a game programmer, knowing how to detect fraud in bank transactions is irrelevant knowledge if that task never appears on the job.

I wish more companies understood this. In all my years of interviews I never got a coding interview or take home programming assignment that even remotely resembled the work they needed.

I don't understand who this is for.

From the screenshots, it's almost as if it was designed to keep someone inside an echo chamber and not come up with any original ideas about what they've read or bookmarked.

I started building a MtG competitor inspired by Altered and Netrunner. As weird as it sounds, I started with some bash scripts to see how the meta would play out to make sure the card values/strategies were balanced.

I would love to compare game development notes if you're interested in discussing this sometime.
