It's somewhat amusing that this is understood though the glasses of warfare. We've always been subject to collective manipulation and those skilled in the art need no digital twin or to measure effects but it does make it easier a

I always think of the lumberjack tasked with cutting down the last redwood giant. He hesitated a bit and was somewhat reluctant to start. Several of his coworkers understood that it was slightly emotional and said they would do it if he cou

Tax I could do to some extend but I once (for laughs) had a go at scripting up Dutch work hour laws because no one could do it in their head. This was so terrifyingly complex that I'm convinced many laws should be rewritten to make it

We use rigid 16 mm pvc conduit (bend with heat) with 2.5mm2 wires in brown(+) blue(-) yellow/green stripe(gnd) and 1.5mm2 black for switched wires. Ideally you bend the pipe as little as possible and make the corners as smooth or as bl

I remembered my grand vision for teletext. All pages should be dedicated to a text based rpg using the Choose Your Own Adventure mechanic[0] People want to fight orcs and goblins, ride dragons, cast magic missile and save the princess. Th

I would argue the result depends 90% on mentality. Experience only makes you work faster. Fun conversation with a high end coder: ME: I would write it from scratch rather than introduce a dependency. It's not that I don't trust pe

In the Netherlands anyone may do the wiring of their house themselves but if it is a substantial modification (or an entire installation) a certified electrician has to sign off on it. They are not likely to stick their neck out for any fun

The way I thought of it at the time was that they had 2 kinds of content, official stuff like news, to make the service actually useful, for which they didn't get a cent and commercial stuff which started at that unfunny amount. They h

I think you had 999 pages but each page could have 9999 sub pages. The pages were send one by one so if you typed 200 you would have to wait for page 200 to cycle by. If it had 100 sub pages you would have to wait 100 times as long. I belie

There is nothing new about machines displacing jobs and it will happen the same way as before.

One fun trick I learn (or more like two tricks) is to start working with the person during the interview. If you do a lot of interviews you get to see a lot of different ways to do it. Their job is to do interviews but they never get to see

I always counter the question by asking them why they are uniquely interested in me. That way they usually skip the question. (You should still have an answer ready for all of the obvious questions)

From what I gather it is hard to hire the highest level developers because they hate the endless meetings, bureaucracy and micromanagment. Salaries are comparable to industry which seems quite high for dutch standards but if you make educat

What is called culture here will increasingly be propaganda. It reminds me of people cheering twitter as a replacement of RSS or using facebook to communicate with your customers rather than email. You won't know which will be the winn

One can get used to quite strange life styles. One could be very active, drink nothing but coffee and alcohol. If they feel a bit sluggish thats just normal. If one gets used to being sluggish (from any deficiency) fixing it might make slee

You could take a picture from the real footage, remove the people from it and insert yourself into the front yard. Then when they open the door act confused that you cant see them. edit: my doorbell resets if you hold it down for 10 seconds

Each buck we spend is a vote for a business (which is a bag of ideals and methods) It is surprising that people apparently desire a future where they don't even have to bother listening to those in charge as every word is completely ir

When reading the docs of quite a few payment processors (for a simple cart check out) Mollie was quite hilarious. I kept thinking "this is it? This is all I need to do??" Then the masochist api's are also available. And a ser

Thats overly flattering, there have always been good arguments for having your data in the same country (if not the same building) A worse case hypothetical trump is really much worse than the real one. On the other hand it is also lame to

You could also open your front door with your smart phone. It would look high tech until your battery is empty. Sometimes I see people captured by the train station unable to check out. They usually find someone with a charger but technical

Do speech to text on the client and send the text/subtitles along with the audio. If the connection is truly bad, upload your voice and quantify emotional payload.

HN should add some kind of LLM detection. Preferably something that rates how unhinged a comment is. Smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast.

It's such an unimaginative metric. First, we lump all jobs together into one bag. Depending on who you are some jobs are an actual joy whole others are absurdly demanding. We have zero dialog about the correct number of hours for each.

When the internet psychiatry committee comes to diagnose you in a condescending way you just know they have your best interest at heart. There are plenty of people who are up to no good. You should expose and troll them but only briefly. Yo
