Hey, I like the idea of trying to make remote more seamless, it's certainly a need. Looks like nice work so far. I do agree with some of the other comments that some folks would like a "knock" type feature to give a warning, clearly you get the concern from your gif. Keep it up and personally I think it's great to see more options for this.

I think it's mostly because the statistics don't tell the story. I've been on the hiring side for 3 companies. We'd take the first non-idiotic person who applies.

If you're the kind of person to be a friend, you'd likely be hired. If you're the kind of stranger looking for a job, you'd be unlikely to be hired. If you're the kind of person to hang out on HN or some Facebook/Slack meme groups, we couldn't afford your salary.

Out of that, it would be roughly 90% of applicants who don't qualify, 5% who we can't afford, and somewhere in between which we just settle for. Many new graduates can't do FizzBuzz, many people who apply for a senior position can't reverse a linked list.
(Disclaimer: I am a Fly.io founder)

I don't recall us being at Hack Arizona, certainly not me. I googled it and all it yielded was this HN post.

Your comment couldn't be further from the truth. I can't speak for whoever used these words (if they did), but I think we have pretty great work/life balance.

We all have families of our own and recognize they are far more important than our business. These things happen, such is life. Your kid gets sick, you want to care for them. Time off is always paid and we encourage people to take some. People often find it hard to take time off, but we've been good at it.

Nobody, generally, works more than 40 hours a week. I say "generally" because these past few weeks have been more intense given the end of our YC adventure, demo day, virtually meeting with investors and this Launch HN post. In normal times, I might work a few hours on a weekend but only if that brings me joy.

... and of course we're very flexible on work schedules because we're a remote-only company. Some weeks this might mean working only a few hours here and there because of life activities or the need to take time off. Other weeks, it might be the opposite. We recognize and embrace that.

What Is Flex PCB? – An Overview of Flex and Rigid-Flex PCB
Dunno about good sources, but Neom and Qiddiya AFAIK still have prospected budgets of 500 billion dollars, each. This is of course an approximation and the actual amount is in a state of flux, so these are just two mega-parameters that are obscured by the x-dollars-or-bust statement that I hear so often.

Yes, hoarding gold is kind of dumb, especially if you want to barter with it: absolutely no one deals with it on a day-to-day basis so has no idea how much any amount is "worth".

Someone did a small experiment about trying to figure out would be best for emergency preparedness stockpiling (he lives in an earthquake zone):

Cash would be best, as after the emergency we'll just continue on people will be happy to have it. If you want to start worrying about bartering then booze is the best option: familiarity, doesn't spoil, 'inherent value' since people would still want to get tipsy even during emergencies.

Telemetry is when companies measure and collect your usage of their product, in theory so they can improve it, know which features are used and which not, where users spend most time, etc.

As it is a kind of vague definition and you (almost) never know exactly what information is being transmitted, and given the fact that it is Google (or Microsoft, or Apple, or whatever), people sometimes rather just disable telemetry at all.

Some of us started JS programming over a decade ago, with no strong typing and IDE to hold our hand and tell us every time you make a mistake. The key is just discipline, good design patterns and a good linter.

I see TypesScript as a VERY opinionated linter that affects how you think and write JS. JS is a dynamically typed language, which means you loose a lot of its power and flexability by shoe-horning it into strongly typed languange patterns. Yes, I get it, many programmers think best and are most productive using strongly typed languages, but for those of us that can think dynamic or both, TS just gets in the way.

>> Do they just magically decipher what interface an argument conforms to?

This is a good example of the object oriented, strongly typed way of thinking. Explore languages that follow different paradigms, where interfaces just don't apply.

>> What methods are accessible on a returned result from any random library they're using?

Do not use random libraries. A good library should have even some basic docs outline its API and how to use it.

I used this recently to speed up some symbolic manipulation. I was using SymPy but its simplify is really quite slow and the documentation basically just says "work out exactly which simplifications you need and apply them", however in my case I needed something completely general. Now I check whether wolframscript is installed and then just call it in the command line. It's much faster for complicated simplifications, but also much slower for simple stuff (I guess it has a long start up time)

SymPy has a built-in converter to/from Mathematica (although it can't convert from Mathematica lists yet), so that's helpful

There has been an ongoing debate in the UK about proportional representation and the first past the post system. It has not, as yet, lead to violence and chaos. So I think that the link Maistre identifies between questioning the status quo and chaos is not always true.

Admittedly there is time and place for debate. You don't argue about the cars direction, when the driver is trying to concentrate in a dangerous situation.

Everyone holds gold for different reasons; but gold is a great wealth preserving tool.

If you own gold, you are going to preserve somewhere between 25% and 100% of your wealth over time in a way that cannot be claimed for stocks or currency.

Someone who held a US dollar for 100 years has wasted their time. Someone who held an ounce of gold still has about as much purchasing power now as then (probably more with the march of technology).
Ask HN: Why there is no respirators schemes online?
The controversy is not insider trading. It is executives exercising their share options during buybacks the price of which they themselves decide.

They decide when to buyback and choose to do it at market highs. This is not sound management and is not in the interest of the shareholders.

I learned about it in a recent edition of "The Intelligent Investor".

Most executives are shareholders only during the brief moment it takes exercising their options. They are not shareholders in the investor or even trader sense.

The claim that this amounts to distributing dividends is also not true. Options which is most of what the executives are holding don't earn dividends.
None of those can beat it in symbolic computation. You can write entire papers, by simply asking yourself the question: I wonder if this has an analytical integral? If you are lucky Mathematica spits out a solution in terms of a special function.

This is the weirdest and least convincing thing I've read about Typescript. I won't comment on such experienced devs spending so much time struggling with tooling that shouldn't change all that often, but I have to react that "fixing Typescript" means "fixing your code".

If you're saying that you can't handle the overhead of Typescript config because your devs already spend so much time struggling with the rest of your tooling, by all mean get your shit together with your tooling, this amount of time spent on it isn't any sort of acceptable. You have huge problems.

I actually started reading some of these novels for this exact reason. I figured that if I liked them, I'll have plenty to keep me occupied for the next several years.

Didn't like the Inquisitor novels, so I stopped that series. The Horus Heresy got a little bogged down in the second book, so I read a summary online and decided to skip the other 50 books (LITERALLY). But the first book in the Gaunt's Ghost series has me intrigued so far, so we'll see how that goes.

I totally agree: The sheer quantity of lore that Games Workshop produces is truly mind boggling. It's more than Star Wars and Star Trek combined I'd bet. Truly insane.

I'm not sure anyone who is both sane and well informed wants a group of people trained for warfighting to be deployed in a domestic policing role. Our police training includes exercises like de-escalation, and the police here are mostly pretty good at actually using those tactics to defuse potentially dangerous situations. Our infantry training includes exercises like running up to someone and stabbing them repeatedly with a bayonet while shouting "Kill, kill, kill". One of these is not like the other, and even with good intentions all around, in a tense situation the instincts are going to be all wrong.

As a comparison, we have relatively few police officers in the UK who routinely carry firearms. Certain policing organisations do, but mostly the guns and other "serious" hardware are reserved for specialist units within the regional forces. What is perhaps most telling is that the majority of our officers consistently say they don't want to routinely carry guns, not least because of the more confrontational culture it creates and the escalation of force it inevitably invites.

A long-serving police officer I used to know once opined that the only police officers who are allowed to have guns should be the ones who would honestly prefer not to, but who understand that sometimes an armed response is a practical necessity and so if called upon will see carrying and being willing to use firearms as a burden they are willing to accept to do a good job. The other side of that conversation was that in most cases, you really don't want the young officer whose main ambition is to rise up quickly and train as a specialist firearms officer to ever get that far. It was a fascinating insight into the kind of psychology that is happening underneath the use of force in different situations and the kind of mindset that is required for people with different roles in our society.

Because the C++ compiler accepts an absolutely insane variety of code styles. I say this as someone who mainly writes C++. If I write my own project, or a project where I only have to work with a small number of people all of whom I know have extensive C++ experience, or a project that is so large that I can afford to consistently rewrite parts, educate contributors and maintain style guides, I choose C++. But anything that doesn't hit these bells, I'd rather use C (or something else). People mixing completely different styles in C++ is a nightmare.

> Please count the number of open bugs

You do realise the large number of open issues almost certainly relates to Typescript's compiler and language implementation? When a project is written in Typescript, it does not mean all those bugs will inevitably plague the project itself. If I wrote "hello world" in Typescript with a Webpack + Babel project starter, it doesn't suddenly mean I now have thousands of open Typescript bugs to deal with.

Also: the number of closed issues outnumbers open ones by almost x5. Moreover, the total number of issues exceeds 20 thousand; the number is only so high because so many people have already adopted Typescript into their dev workflows. It's a sign it's been battle tested extensively.

> Like half of all genuine bug triage time is already spent on webpack, bable, and other things in the tooling stack. 200 hours a month for $30-$40 per hour devs.

Half? This just seems totally implausible; this could only be true if you were constantly modifying your webpack and babel setup and config files and breaking things.

I'm pondering how long would it take GM to modify their ERP systems to handle an entirely new business line. Never mind that... how long would it take them to define the requirements for the plan to determine the framework for the project to explore the changes needed to the organization?
Turning on a dime is not something a large corporation is good at, no matter how well-meaning. It takes time for people to learn how to do unfamiliar things, it takes time to organize large groups of people, it takes time to even decide what the requirements are.

Many HN readers work in software development. We constantly deal with stakeholders who have completely unrealistic timeframe expectations. Do we really think GM could, in effect, create an entirely new division in a couple of sprints? How long do you think simply creating new injection molds would take? Does GM even know how to handle the kinds of plastics used in ventilators?

Edit: Think war-room. The worst thing a manager can do during an emergency is try to create new processes or add people to make things go faster. My job is to let the folks who already know what to do do it. Sweep all obstacles out of the way. Order pizza, arrange for day-care, rent the hotel across the street. The only really quick ways to increase availability of medical equipment is to give existing manufacturers whatever help they need to run 24x7, and to help their suppliers run 24x7.

At this point, anyone who is "offering to help" is going to be of little use. If you have the infrastructure in place, you had better be doing everything you can to be ramped up. If you need resources you should be screaming for them--no one else is going to be able to tell you what you need or what to do. If you don't have the infrastructure, knowledge, or contacts, then you're just going to get in the way.
