New comment by psalminen in "ArXiv declares independence from Cornell"

I might be missing something, but I still don't get the why. I don't see any "problem" that needs to be solved.

New comment by psalminen in "Diagram as Code"

psalminen — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:59:08 +0000

This seems like a great idea, but it seems to overwrite a lot of native python that would make this more flexible.

With some quick playing around, I don't see a way to parameterize is. Ie. If I want to show a different amount of workers in your example[1] if I am creating a dev or prod diagram. It would be really nice to be able pre-define certain parts of the diagram and add as desired.

Ask HN: Is Reddit the New StackOverflow?

psalminen — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 16:34:20 +0000

Lately, when I ask google a software related question I am seeing more results from Reddit than I am from Stack Overflow. Reddit also seems to be providing more relevant and recent results.

Are other people seeing this as well? Has Reddit taken over as the de-facto software development knowledge repository?

For reference, most of the questions are Terraform and Kubernetes based.

Sounds like most economic theories that are implemented around the globe today to me.

New comment by psalminen in "US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana"

psalminen — Wed, 01 May 2024 03:41:47 +0000

Coming from a longtime marijuana friendly state, I've noticed that it has also lowered the stigma of other "hard" drugs. Since weed is no longer the socially-acceptable illegal drug, others like cocaine has taken is place.

I've long wondered if this will be a trend across the country.

New comment by psalminen in "An app can be a home-cooked meal (2020)"

psalminen — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 06:10:41 +0000

For my job, I've created a python ask and CLI that meets the exact needs of how I need to communicate with our API. It's leaps and bounds better than any postman collection my employees use

The code is a mess so I haven't shared, but it is something that makes me more productive every day.

New comment by psalminen in "Privacy is priceless, but Signal is expensive"

psalminen — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:21:53 +0000

I still use Signal a lot, since most people I frequently talk to use it. However, this was extremely frustrating. Having 1 messaging app for so long was incredibly nice.

New comment by psalminen in "Progress on No-GIL CPython"

psalminen — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 07:48:33 +0000

I like the way you word this. Similar to the product I make, I describe my mind as an asynchronous queue. I can only reason about one thing at a time, but when I do that is fairly random.

How this has played out in my life gives me caution about making this standard in computing.

+1 to this. I've been using Materialistic for years. It's a much nicer interface for HN on mobile

This is a great take. I regularly get this feeling, but have always described it as "Friday Brain".

The mentions of bipolar, I can't speak for the poster but I am undiagnosed due.to no classic symptoms.

Can you provide a basis for this belief? N=2 googles of colleges show graduate programs. See Williams College: https://www.williams.edu/academics/graduate-programs/#:~:tex....

New comment by psalminen in "Signal Introduces Stories"

psalminen — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 00:04:09 +0000

Off topic, but I've been very irritated they're removing SMS support. It was a killer feature that allowed me to adopt signal as my sole messaging app.
