Re:Ask HN: Does LeetCode/HackerRank make you a better developer?
on Tuesday October 31, 2023 @08:13PM (#38093082)
I think a good developer is composed of many things, and LeetCode/HackerRank type learning can help you become better at only a small subset of those things.
It's like trying to get your body into good shape, you need to work on different parts of the body, not just focus on your left arm (unless your left arm is especially weak and you want to focus on that).

Congrats! I was hoping the icon would be the stinky variant[1], that would be so fun.
Re:XML is better than YAML
on Thursday September 21, 2023 @12:30AM (#37593231)
Years ago when parsing XML in Java, to my surprise at the time, the parser by default would try to resolve external DTDs while parsing, ouch, what a way to let someone DDoS your system.
Unfortunately YAML was even worse in that regard, as it allowed arbitrary code execution as seen in recent CVEs...

I often see scam ads on YouTube as well, they (Google) should really do something about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34943047
Ask HN: Why hasn't YouTube removed those fake MrBeast $1000 giveaway ad scams?
Example scam in the YouTube app: https://ibb.co/BNVy1ZRI have been seeing this scam ad in the YouTube mobile app for the last few months, that claims anyone who sees this ad will get $1000 dollars. It seems crazy to me that Google/YouTube hasn't done anything about it so far, or have they?

I wanted to give Windows/WSL another try, but unfortunately installing WSL on a clean install of Windows 11 gives a blue screen of death boot loop on my laptop. Seems to be related to this 3 year old bug: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4784
