Re:Do not trust the marketing IOPS on Consumer SSD on Monday August 03, 2026 @02:45AM (#49152044)
Thank you for the feedback. Of course I do want people to read. The whole point of posting this here or anywhere is so that if anyone, who is in the similar situation can jump to the TLDR or conclusion and fix it will save them some time. Not the entire article is A.I. generated A.I. articles are longer but ideas can be conveyed in different ways. I chose to convey in the way I felt best. The article went through multiple human reviews and in future if I decide to write an article brevity will be in my mind when writing longer articles. I do feel like the world now prefers short form content over long.

Author here - Just wanted to add this Disclaimer: AI was used extensively here, both to debug the cluster and to write this article.

I support responsible use of A.I I understand the discourse around Slop/Vibe code etc… Personally as long as the slop / vide code does the job securely, reliably and is maintainable does not matter if you hand write the code or use A.I. I prefer to use all the tooling available to me build things.

This is so Cool! A 99 cents Chip can do so many things. I am using it currently for Automatic Garden Monitoring system[1]. I never realized this small chip can do big things. Very Impressive.

Ask HN: What are good resources to learn Java?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hello Everyone,I have recently joined a Company and we are going through a boot camp to learn Java. Even though we have a great teacher. I find it easy to learn from online resources e.g Blogs, Books etc. and then experiment by building a project, I wanted to know if there are any resources which you find interesting that could help for in-depth understanding of Java?

This is true. I have found text not so "crisp" and readable on windows compared to MAC. I have an LG Ultrawide monitor and used both Mac and Windows with it, there is a difference in the sharpness.

I moved to Windows after 5 years of Mac this month. Because I knew I will be working from home, decided to build a good workstation (Thank you Ryzen ) and I Couldn't agree more WSL is very helpful for people who like windows UI and functionalities of Linux. There are few quirks but it works great.

Re:DigitalOcean raises $100M in debt as it scales toward revenue of $300M on Thursday February 20, 2020 @04:22PM (#22378765)
I host my websites on DO. Their UI and API is really cool. Linode and Scaleway both lost my data. DO is far more reliable than Linode and scale way. It's always good to have options to choose from. I hope they succeed.

Companies like Netlify, Zeit and Heroku are also doing good but I don't see any Enterprise applications for such services.

One thing I especially like about DO is that they are not stagnant in terms of features. They continuously keep adding new features.

Ask HN: Recruiters do you decide pay on candidate's performance in coding test?

Posted by humbfool2 on Monday February 17, 2020 @08:57AM
from the ask-hn dept.

In one of my previous Job interview, When I declined the offer since the pay was no where near industry standard. The Interviewer during negotiation said that the pay is less due to my performance in coding test. Personally I feel this is a ridiculous reason. Has anyone ever experienced this kind of situation?
