My friend, this is the "Who is hiring?" thread, not the "Who wants to be hired?" thread. You probably want to post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49156682

My understanding is that Google Fi is a glorified T-Mobile MVNO at this point (i.e. you're a Fi customer but using T-Mobile towers). It used to give you the closest/best connection of T-Mobile, Sprint, or US Cellular, but Sprint n

In my experience, the bulleted list with emojis is usually a pretty strong tell (the one in the article just after "We call these parts sub-projects"). LLMs (maybe just ChatGPT) love doing that.

How else would you watch things with other people at home? Are you going to huddle around your desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.?

Is that necessarily a bad thing? I have older laptops than the U729 that still see some use. If you're not locally compiling a big codebase, running some AI/LLM thing, playing GPU-intensive games, etc., you really don't need

I don't think anyone would fight you on that. Inferno cheat plugins looked like 100 bpm Guitar Hero back in the day.

Is it just me, or is there some kind of asteroid game shooting bullets at my cursor while I try to read this [1]? I hate to sound mean, but it's a bit distracting. I guess it's my fault for having JavaScript enabled. [1]: https:&

As an American that grew up in a rural area, this definitely isn't something that would've been taught in a public school here. At best, we had typing classes in middle school, and the (quite old) teacher insisted on two spaces af

It's been several years at this point, but I used to be a cloud support engineer for AWS (i.e. the first line of defense against support tickets). We were trained to always be kind to the customer, even if we're frustrated with th

Very cool post! I enjoy anything that has to do with game hacking, and it's nice to see D, a language I don't have a ton of experience with. Just one note you/the author may be curious about: > Notably a process_vm_writev

We are similar. The only time my phone makes any noise whatsoever is if I get a phone call from someone in my contacts or a Slack ping during work hours. Everything else can wait.

Can't speak for the entire country, but rural Virginia had a nasty ice storm pass through earlier this week [1]. I lost power for about 40 hours. [1]: https://www.wdbj7.com/2025/02/12/36k-plus-virginians-

As someone who's reversed some basic MIDI stuff in an old video game and has always wanted to get into hardware hacking, I really enjoyed reading this article. Great work!

This is more on the user end, but there's ways for users to isolate programs in such a way that this malware wouldn't have access to e.g. browser files and cryptocurrency wallets, some more effective/practical than others. Vi

I've looked into this before, and it seems like they got Starlink recently-ish (within the past couple years or so). A google search of "inurl:reddit mcmurdo starlink" brings up a few hits from /r/antarctica.

The website is out of date. The firefighting contracts used to be owned by Lockheed Martin, then PAE group, and now Amentum. (edit: As proof, here's Amentum's listing for a McMurdo firefighter: https://www.amentumcareer

I've been wondering the same. I did just see [1], where it's apparently trying to read memory from an unmapped address, but I haven't seen anything about how r8 got to the point of having said unmapped address. [1]: https:&#

I bumped into kk4vcz at Defcon in 2021. I was standing around, looking clueless, and playing with my Baofeng near the ham radio village. He approached me and asked if I could transmit on a particular frequency to help test his watch. I sai

To clarify even further, you can technically log into OSRS with old accounts, but none of your stats or gear from back in the day will be there. Everyone started fresh in OSRS when it (re)released in 2013.
