I'm making a surf forecasting site a la surfline.com, I started mostly to have an API to use for my tidbyt, but I figured I might as well make it a full thing and built my own feat…

Even when using google docs, I dropped the paper format, and at that point it's better to edit/read in a richer editor like Confluence which has better support for interactive widg…

None of these debugging tips involve the use of a debugger, arguably one of the most efficient ways to debug.

If we're going to give anecdotal data, when I lived in NYC I was hired as an H1B, and every single other H1B I knew was paid way more than the median wage. But these were companies…

I like the idea, but also it wouldn't feel fair for some services that I use like Twitch, or some cooking websites. I get that they sometimes really abuse all that stuff, but also …

How does this type of hackathon work?

Hello - I checked with somebody internal at Spotify and the recruiting team could not find these job openings. They are not on the normal Spotify recruiting portal: https://www.lif…

Maybe they're cranking out AI SaaS products to see what sticks. I was going to say low effort, but it's not zero effort and does offer some kind of service. I could have used some …

On osx you can use `say "long command is done"` or whatever is descriptive.

It's cool conceptually, but I think for family I haven't known, for family I have known and is aging/deceased that would make me pretty sad so I probably wouldn't use it.

You could try the YC cofounder matching site: https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching

That's a robot's take. You can have days where you slept poorly or need a nap to get back on track or just lack motivation. Personally I try to take on tasks that don't require as …

I think it's interesting to read people voicing concerns and limitations of the projects in the comments (that's why I came to read them), but I was hoping more people would be exc…

Must love dogs is an interesting requirement for a remote position

Didn't they rewrite some of Temporal's core in rust?

They did use Temporal at Netflix, they gave a couple presentations 2 years ago. I think this is very much not-Temporal because it relies on a DSL instead of workflow as code. I don…

What do you mean? That as a sysadmin he should also have solved the product/sales/marketing woes of the company? You can only do so much at certain positions. Even if you go out of…

I found out about Temporal 2+y ago now and were early adopters of their cloud. It's a bit of a paradigm shift when you start using it, but it is amazing at solving some types of pr…

I found the intro video pacing and music a little unpleasant. It's going a little fast too, slow down, I gotta absorb what's going on and how it's going to make my life easier!

Maybe your question is worth its own thread. Your biggest hurdle will be immigrating to the US. As far as I know the best way to manage that would be to finish your studies in the …

I own a .pm domain, for Saint Pierre et Miquelon, I think you need to be European.

Oof. This should be more like a media key than a required key. I view it like a "Volume up/down" key, it's nice but not essential. Although it's probably much less useful than a vo…

I miss Gerrit from my last job. Stacked PRs on Github are horrible. Lots of problems stem from that: because stacked PRs are painful, people make large PRs, because the PRs are lar…

My biggest expense being remote is that I need an extra room for my office. Besides that, that would probably be heating in winter and electricity, but these are small compared to …
