Show HN: Remote working resources
Hey Hackernews!

My names Olly (a Designer from the UK). I’ve been a long time lurker on Hackernews but now I finally have something to share with the community. Along with my friend Oliver (Developer, Sweden/Japan) we have been working on Remotewise.io. It’s a new resource and learning platform dedicated to remote work.

We’ve both been working remotely for most of our careers. Over this time remote work has been gaining huge momentum as a viable and desirable way to work and we believe it’s the future. We’ve been working on this during our evenings and weekends in between our full-time remote roles, so we’re really excited to be putting it out for you guys. We’d really appreciate any feedback as I’m sure many of you are remote workers yourselves or thinking about going that route.

You can check it out here: https://remotewise.io

So, why did we create Remotewise.io? We noticed it was often tricky and time consuming to find quality and relevant content about remote work and the companies which champion it. We wanted to create a focused, discoverable and beautifully curated list of resources so that you can learn from the leaders in the industry, what it takes to work as a highly effective remote team and how to nurture a healthy remote culture. We see the site as a learning and discovery platform that in the process helps you find the best company fit for you, hopefully taking the pain out of searching for that perfect remote role.

We’re launching a weekly newsletter too so if you’re into it sign up and receive the latest updates. We’ll also be bringing you founding stories and leadership interviews in the coming weeks and months. This is just the start of our journey, there’s loads more to come.

We’d love to hear your feedback as it’s really early days for us and we’re excited about where we could take it. You can also reach us at hello@remotewise.io or tweet us @remotewise.

Massive thanks,
Olly & Oliver
It's on 1.5 platforms (Win version is limited and not fully released).
Question 2 is "What have you done so far that shows your potential for greatness, adjusted for whatever life circumstances you were born into?" TBH, I'm not sure I would want a ticket to the narcissist convention that question implies. The obituary question is a great question IMO.
It’s not free.

See what I did there?
If you're already in Windows land, you should consider leveraging PowerShell instead of bash. Pretty much all the same tooling is there, only with more descriptive names, tab completion on everything, passes typed object data instead of text parsing, etc.

The shortcomings of pure text for online communication have been recognized since forever (mainframe-based forums and Usenet in my own experience). Emoticons were invented to provide some of the visual/tonal/emotional cues present in RL conversation but missing from text. Emoji are the natural evolution of emoticons, providing a richer vocabulary and often requiring less interpretation. Is it really hard for you to understand why "grown men" might want to communicate in something other than a flat, dry, emotionless format? Do you not see the problem with that? Because that would be :(
So sad, A380 was a gigantic, magnificent plane. A plane with a lot of "ego"
Well, to be fair, bash does not exist on many systems either.

For example I have used dragonflybsd and freebsd today and they both had "seq" but no "bash".

“Populism” is a new liberal epithet. It’s been reinterpreted to refer to common views of the “filthy masses,” among other things traditional views of self and people and place, as opposed to fealty to a trendy abstract liberal universalism.
Seems like a book specifically about text processing for the purpose of writing/formatting/typesetting documents.
If true that didn't work out so well for them.
Great individuals exist, they can do humanity-advancing feats of greatness essentially by themselves. Put a bunch of greats together though, and you can get truly amazing things not possible from a single mind, and what's more create an environment for maximal expression of each individual's greatness.

If YC's goal here is to try and bring together great (or potentially great) individuals, that's fine, but perhaps there are better approaches.[0] Perhaps it's a bad approach having the second and third questions as they are when they're going to filter out great people like Bryan. The second question's qualifier for "life circumstances" is such a cop-out too... Yes it's "great" if you came up from nothing and somehow managed to go to college and get a nice well-paying stable job, surpassing the achievements of at least your ancestors in living memory, but that isn't actually greatness.

On the other hand maybe the two bad questions are by design, Google interview style, trying to weed out false positives for whatever their goal is no matter the (potentially counterfactual) false negatives. It trivially filters me out correctly; I have no potential for greatness, and in the best case I don't plan on dying so there'd be no obituary.

[0] Might I suggest a method that would probably be more effective, at least for collecting potentially great scientists, Asimov's Sword. (http://www.gwern.net/docs/culture/1963-asimov) Target 10-to-15-year-olds already reading good sci-fi.

Edit: a reply highlighted some ambiguity in my usage of "like Bryan" but they deleted it before I replied back.. here's clearing it up anyway.

YC120's phrasing is a problem in filtering out literally Bryan from the 20 if they had plans to ask him, but I was more aiming to describe filtering out people like Bryan from the 100 based on having similar responses.

I knew a guy in high school with a good supply of "intelligence, drive and vision" who had started working with a local university team around something to do with MEMS fabrication. Let's assume YC120 if it was around then would have been interested to have him as part of the 100, and that it'd be useful to him to expand his network beyond that university or academia in general for the grand possibility of getting a group together in the future to do for MEMS what Fairchild Semiconductor did for semiconductors. That sort of vision is all pointless if he were to have a similar reaction to Bryan's or other commenters here, either due to the second question giving off vibes of joining a group of narcissists or the example interests on the page (gene editing, solving physics, etc.) pointing exclusively at a particular subset of SV's fashions. Either he'd filter himself or maybe the reactions are on to something and an earnest application would be filtered by YC for insufficient alignment on greatness potential or SV-compatible interests.

We could all possibly fire our past selves for things we currently don't agree with, that's why we call them mistakes and not certainties.

Some of us are able to learn from failures and regrets through trial and error, the consequences and being more aware we could be hurting others. Unfortunately, past blunders are easily referenced, overly embellished + manipulated and quickly judged in the present, as if it were a representation to the entirety of that persons true character. Which is wrong.

Hey, I am the maker of Airtext!

Airtext is a platform to create your own decentralized blog with one click. It is absolutely free, allows bypass government censorship (like the Great Firewall or Roskomnadzor), and completely secure — nobody can hack and steal your data because it is encrypted and not hosted on centralized vulnerable servers (all your data is decentralized).

Would love to hear your questions or feedback, thanks!
>Then there is Alter’s preference for “between his legs” rather than “between his feet,” which is used in all three of the earlier versions quoted above. A staff between Judah’s feet sounds like it is planted firmly on the ground, but a mace between his legs has a distinctly more phallic implication, as Alter acknowledges in his note: “the image of the mace between the legs surely suggests virile power in political leadership.” This is a vivid image of patriarchy, entirely appropriate for a speech in which a father is passing sovereignty down to his sons.

It sounds like the ancient culture wasn't living up to the modern reader's expectations for how ancient literature was supposed to be read, so they burried some nuts so that the other modern readers could find them as they expected to.
I'm really curious what this is btw. I read so much about the 787 having a better cabin atmosphere but all my 787 flights where quite underwhealming and the automatically controlled window shades at least on two BA flights I was on where really frustrating because they simulated night until right the moment we were landing and then it propelled me into late afternoon sunlight conditions. I absolutely hated that sensation.
Interesting. Thank you.

But what's the point of setting upper limits to fines at all then? GDPR says that the maximum penalty is 4% of global revenue or 20 million euros, whichever is greater.

If proportionality is a concept that's followed so well, then why have upper limits at all? Why word it in a way that clearly hurts smaller businesses more?
I’ve used it for a few months. It has a nice feel to it, and a few things Postico doesn’t have, such as exporting to JSON. The author is also quite responsive on GitHub and has even added a few small features I requested. Overall I find Postico to be a bit more suited to my needs, but nice to see another polished app in this space.
If it is not the case, can you present a counter-example? Can you code it up in say Python?
My rule has always been that if you're going to write a single line if-statement it should actually be a single line if-statement, i.e. no line break between the condition and the curly bracket.
Well, happily, those days are gone for good. Who needs NoSQL when you have the blockchain!
This piece of software is superb. It's lightning fast, the UI is so easy to use, in terms of productivity it's super nice (small things like "copy as an insert statement").

It has been my daily driver for months now, but only for personal projects. I tried to get a license at work, but our lawyer said their EULA is a no-go :(
> the wings are designed for a much longer version, this also makes it heavy for the short version

Make it even a bit longer, and takeoff performance will tank so much, that you will need even longer runways
Found another one in the news today:

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/2/13/18223836/p...

A Senator introduced a bill in 2007 to ban line-standing, a bill that never ended up leaving committee.

"The line-standing industry quickly rallied against the proposal. The owner of Linestanding.com submitted testimony that argued McCaskill’s bill would eliminate “an industry that employs hundreds of entry-level workers, and instead creating positions for even more lobbyists, the bill would have the opposite effect of that intended. It wouldn’t change the composition of who ultimately sat in hearing rooms; it would simply increase costs for all involved.”"

So politicians stop the passage of a law to ban line-standing, and we're supposed to feel that it's the lobbyists' fault rather than that of the politicians who prevented the bills passage? I guess politicians can do whatever they want and receive no accountability for their voting because the media has decided that politicians are immune and the lobbyists will take all the heat.

Data always outlives the application. You could argue that some app + data lives on together, but then you have just poorly reimplemented what an RDBMS does for you up front.
I drink Coke Zero all the time, and I have been described as skinny by at least one ultrasound technician. I think you might just not be noticing when non-fat people drink it.

Have you benchmarked that? Each host you add has its own overhead thanks to DNS, TLS, etc. and every time I’ve done the tests, that cancels out the benefits entirely for a site which itself uses a CDN. I’ve also tended to see numbers for public CDNs which suggest that things aren’t cached as often as you’d like - maybe if it’s a popular project which hasn’t updated in years but otherwise version spread undercuts hit rates dramatically.

My rule of thumb is that public CDNs aren’t a performance move in the HTTP/2 era (i.e. 2016 or later). They may still be convenient, however.
Gallo et al. expressed functional dependencies via them here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0166218X93...
I think the best part about using Unix tools is it forces you to break down the problem into tiny steps.

You can see feedback every step of the way by removing and adding back new piped commands so you're never really dealing with more than 1 operation at a time which makes debugging and making progress a lot easier than trying to fit everything together at once.
Five New EC2 Bare Metal Instances
Or, if you actually read the thread you’re replying to, “modern frameworks” where none of that is true.
Also I guess if you are running 12 flights you can adjust the number to demand and say do 10 or 8 in low season. It'd be less easy to do that with the A380.
Benchmarks: MariaDB ColumnStore vs. Clickhouse vs. Apache Spark
I think the "problem with YC", and in a larger perspective SV, these days is quite specific. What makes, or made, these environments different is that they weren't made for geniuses so much as taking overall average people with an interest in technology and giving them the opportunity to use that interest to build something new instead of it getting lost at some random corporate job. The same way a new music scene isn't usually made up of child music prodigies. But now they are seemingly moving away from that.
what would be the training data value in getting humans to classify images you have clean versions of, after applying simulated noise?

If you have the clean version of the image, you need to get that classified by a human - then you can throw noisy versions of it into the training set for your AI. You don’t need to ask a human, hey, I added noise to a picture of a yield sign. Is it still a picture of a yield sign?
Note that several polls over the last view years have found a large minority of people in the US (between 25-40%) view secession favorably, with higher support among millennials.
IA's definition of CDL and yours (by proxy of the NWU faq you linked) seem quite different.

IA contends that the CDL program lends one digital copy per physical copy the lender owns (ie. the “owned to loaned” ratio). Which is in direct contradiction to the copies-of-copies described by the NWU.

Can you shed light on this discrepancy?
In times like these, just after failure is recognized, the skeptics that have been arguing all these points and more for years should be given some recognition. The libertarians, for example, correctly claimed these points ahead of time because that's how human nature within a bureaucracy works. Instead of realizing the core of the problem, which is incompatibility of the train with American society and governance, articles like this blame a poorly designed route, not getting help from the Chinese, or another banality.
Ok basically a valid point but I think you can also access MariaDB, Postgres and others that support the common SQL standards with Sequel and it's open source.

The seq provided in the GNU toolset has a -w flag to turn on "equal width" mode, so one can also get zero padded numbers out (from GNU seq) by turning on that mode and zero padding the input:

It seems like employee-owned co-ops are an alternative to traditional company organisation. There's nothing to stop anyone from founding such things right now, in fact some do exist though not sure about in the software space, but I suspect there are so few for good reasons.

Meanwhile a lot of startups do compensate employees with stock and options though, under conventional company structures. That's overall a small segment of the industry, but it is an option. A lot of programmers work for conventional businesses in traditional domains though, where radical corporate structures are just pie in the sky.
A great article (unfortunately I think medium screwed it up with the title).

I love working with people who "give a sh*t" ^TM. Sadly, I observed they almost always seem to end up disillusioned and leave large companies. Over the long term these companies seem to be dominated by non-people (those that just go with the flow never having much opinion either way). It could be argued that people who are idealistic are too difficult to work with/ are over demanding of those around them. But I think it's a question of short-term-ism over long-term-ism. Ironic given what's written in this article that now would be the perfect time to have a properly-differentiated trust based competitor product to Facebook. Perhaps Google would have been better served by taking it's time to get g+ right rather than a growth-hacked bet-the-company moment.

I remember the early days of Google when everyone looked on with awe/reverence as they announced "don't be evil" and how they were going to be different. Ultimately the stock market system means role of executives is judged by quarterly earnings and it would be hard for any individual to stand up to that over the long-term. But just as Google's culture was a reaction to perceived failures at other companies I hope some great people launch a company that takes the learnings from Google into an even better culture.

I will watch out for liz ends up next and judge the company positively based on that.

Can you elaborate on what it was about the EULA that was a problem?
The fact is, you don't have a right to that FLAC copy. You're not entitled to it, and if you can't find it, that means you don't get to have it. The end.

Not saying any of this is right, but this whole entitlement attitude feels wrong too.

TablePlus has a beautiful UI and looks better than Sequel Pro for sure, but I find Sequel Pro to be more capable and easier to use.
Redis support of TablePlus isn't too great either (searching on keys doesn't work), so I need to use another tool for Redis management anyway.
Thats a website, not a webapp... Its literally the first sentence.

you need interactivity with writes for an actual webapp.
sure, you could keep the writes in the browser cache, but then it wouldn't really be a webapp either, more like an app that opens in the browser.

I think table based layouts will make a comeback. I'm sure you agree, they make good containers for flexbox items. It's a Table, with data inside, so I can put whatever I like in a table, including functioning as layout. Can still be an accessible page, the table just replaces divs for structure, it's role clearly stated.
TL, DR: the article argues that all the fancy buzzwords like "tolerance for failure" must be counterbalanced by ye goode olde stuff from Management 101:

- a tolerance for failure requires an intolerance for incompetence

- willingness to experiment requires rigorous discipline

- psychological safety requires comfort with brutal candor

- collaboration must be balanced with a individual accountability

- flatness requires strong leadership.

Correct. That was over Ukraine, and airlines responded by not routing over an active warzone

If a plane were shot down over Siberia, planes would reroute away from Siberia, meaning Russia loses overfly money.

Unless the scenario is that Russia comes out and says "we'll shoot down non-Russian airlines", in which case Russian airlines are no longer allowed to fly to other countries, and Russia is cut off from the rest of the world, and we go back to routing via Iran or Alaska (perhaps non-stop). It's an extra 1300 miles from London to Tokyo via those routes, 1200 miles to Beijing, 1000 to Shanghai, and only 600 miles to Hong Kong / Chengdu

It'd be annoying, but not even as bad as when it was the USSR.

Russia meanwhile would collapse economically.
Is this a response to highlight issues with the application or a response to applying and not getting accepted or applying and getting accepted (but rejecting on principle?)?

If you have somewhere else for the planes to go, and the slots and agreements, yes.
