As a programming project and a need for something to constantly fiddle with, I decided to make my own CMS that generates html files for the website. It's far from competing with Wordpress, but I've build out a templating system for publishing, and made a fairly robust admin for setting variables and managing posts etc.

Written in PHP, MySQL, Javascript (leaning on Jquery) and CSS.

I was a web dev 10 years ago, since then I've been working on marketing and barely coding as a hobby.

Later this month I'm going to embark on a rewrite of a webapp I wrote for me and my friends that administrates an MLS (soccer) Pick'Em.

My other project is a soccer match recommender. It pulls in matches, and based on a few variables. I definitely want to improve this at some point, but largely it's again just a side hobby to tinker with. If I find a framework I'm happy with I'd love to make it a small money side project and expand it to other sports so people who are just generic sports fans not sure what to watch, can get recommendations of matches expected to be good ones.
The funny thing is, even when it's unintentional, people seem to attribute credit to the magician rather than the blacksmith. At my workplace, I even have situations where I explicitly tell people: "I am familiar with X and how (some) of it works, but not all of it. I did not create it nor was it even my idea; all credit goes to Jim. If you need anything to do with X, you're best off asking Jim. But if Jim's too busy to help, I may be able to provide some minor help.

Yet even when I do this, I somehow become the arbiter and authority for all problems and questions on X. 5 years go by and everyone thinks X was all my genius. And I hate it, because personally I do not like X created by Jim - even if everyone else does...

Started working on https://rolz.org/ again after a years-long hiatus.

It's a site for tabletop/pen&paper roleplaying.

It started out many years ago as a simple dice roller, it parses and executes commonly used dice codes you find in rulebooks, such as "4d6+4" - and it contains many custom codes for different systems. Pretty soon I added the ability to roll and chat in private rooms with your friends, so it became basically a chat site for roleplaying games.

Then Roll20 launched, and my Rolz was basically crushed by it. Other sites have sprung up en masse, too. Rolz doesn't really have a userbase left right now.

Nevertheless, it is the only thing I ever did/launched that people actually used and cared about, so I decided to finally start adding features again. I'm working on a Virtual Tabletop feature right now, it's very early, but usable in a rudimentary way.

I'll probably post to Show HN when it's more fully featured and battle-tested (no realistic expectation of making front page though), but if you want to check out the progress so far you can try it out right now.
ForgoJS: a 4KB React alternative that gets rid of framework specific DOM access techniques and state management. For example: let people use closures for managing component state rather than something new like hooks.

Here's a preview: https://github.com/forgojs/forgo

I'll do a Show HN once it's ready.

> Possible toxicity of something that we deem safe could be an explanation.

Toxicity of media, liberal arts/Ivy league graduates going to have a career in education/media/HR constantly telling man and young boys how toxic masculinity is harming their fragile beings.

American culture has an wide extending impact. 5 years ago toxic masculinity was not even a term here. Now I hear it teachers in pre-school in my country of <10million population.
It really is the food. America was as car dependent in the 70s as they were in today, but if you look at photos then, you'll notice how uncannily THIN everyone was.

If you dig more into it, you'll find the obesity crisis started around the late 70s with a change in dietary guidelines and medical guidelines saying basically 'fat & meat bad' and 'carbs good' along with the widespread introduction of vegetable oils, leading to too much insulin and other hormonal effects slowly increasing diabetes & obesity in our population. Also food companies honing on what obesogenic combos of food lead to people to eat more, buy more and thus get better sales.

Read "The Obesity Code" if you want a more detailed description with a lot of links to papers and studies for more info. [0]

My current side project is a 1D led strip arduino game where you spin a dial to match the color of a rainbow as it comes toward you. It’s basically doomscrolling through a rainbow, which is pretty soothing.
For a number of bay area devs I suspect this might have the opposite psychological effect. A $50 price tag might put some people off until they realize it's only 15-20 minutes of work.
Engineers often discount the value of discoverability and accessibility. I would argue those are the main reasons Zoom became ubiquitous in the first place.
I would pay more for a device that didn't save to the cloud and only saved locally but could still give you nice graphs and whatnot in an old-fashioned desktop program. They can have a website that you can upload to that makes things visible to your friends, as long as it's opt-in only. I wouldn't use it because I wouldn't trust it, though.

This sort of thing is as dead as a doornail, unfortunately.

My doctor told me to lose weight. I wasn't offended, I'm not stupid.

It wasn't my doctor's advice that led to my weight loss though, it was my father dying prematurely. He wasn't even obese, he just had a poor diet and little exercise. A real wake up call.
Not at all. In my ideal world, Parler would have the same restrictions applied, and would have fallen afoul of point 4 at the very least, given their massive popularity spike. They also weren't completely hands off, so the last option is off the table for them.

That ambiguity is precisely what I try to address. That distinction might not exist now, but it arguably should.

It raises question of how binding is publishing an FAQ? If I sent them an email with that question and they sent me an answer, if they tried to sue me over the issue that email will be a significant piece of evidence in my favor (I imagine).

But what if they only sent me a link to the FAQ or I just silently relied on it to be accurate?

I see this same attitude about TDD adoption - teams in my company say things like “testing is for lackeys / that work is beneath us”, I.e. they see that as the responsibility of QA testers who are less important in their view. This is short sighted, arrogant and encourages similar problems with superiority complexes. TDD is still controversial in some circles, but engineers who have a deep understanding of both tests and implementation are far more valuable than those who only understand one side. Anyway, sorry for the somewhat off topic rant, but a lot of what you said resonated with me

Le petit prince, although understandable by children, evokes deep philosophical ideas and a subtle sense of humour and can also be a great experience for adults. The language is beautiful and would really shine in a good audiobook.

> hopefully _Lupin_: it’s brand new, I haven’t watched it yet but friends say it’s great. It seems to have a wide variety of contemporary accents, fast paced dialogue so not for the early learner.

Yes, Lupin is great for that. The accents are not too heavy and the text, though not high literature, is not too dumb (often a problem with series, to be honest). The language is contemporary with a bit of slang but nothing outlandish that I recall. Also, the American accents of the dubbed version are completely out of character so the French audio is the way to go anyway.

Oh!! Bacteria in food will multiply really fast at room temperature..40F begins the danger zone.

Duck confit is an entirely different preparation than steak. 145F for steaks, 165F for chicken and everything else is around 160F in the USA.

I have cooked fork tender gigot of lamb at 250F for a seven-hour lamb but I still seared it first. Standard is 375F.

Searing and into the pre heated oven must be really quick. Immediately. Most known bacteria will be killed at high temperature above 140-145 F.

A sous vide bath is air tight environment and again..like the duck confit..is not relevant here.

Cooking is chemistry. Leaving meat around at room temperature is just bad deviation from standards. I would never teach anyone to start anything on a ‘cold pan’. It’s one thing if you have been cooking for years and years and know the ‘why’ of the standards. It only comes from experience and kitchen discipline. But to put it out on an online recipe or hand out instructions when there is no way to audit the follower of the recipe is just unacceptable. My 2c.

Would I start on a cold pan? Maybe. Would I run a kitchen like that? Never! Would I teach students to start on a cold pan? Absolutely not! Not all stoves and ovens are calibrated right. We take so many things for granted and cooking is also about taming heat and fire.

But that’s just me. Meat has special handling and storage and cooking instructions because in a restaurant it affects everything from liability to failing inspections to the risk of making a small mistake that will affect so many people. I just find it very irresponsible.

"The bugs were related to Apple deprecating network kernel extensions (NKEs) in Big Sur and introducing a new system called Network Extension Framework, and Apple engineers not having enough time to iron out all the bugs before the Big Sur launch last fall."
Thanks! The controller (box that runs the network and all the algos) keeps a day’s worth of raw sensor data, intermediate calculations, and final user-ready observations. The data behind the web interface is just observations and never gets pruned. In both cases, data is in SQLite.

The US, through congressional action, can ultimately do what it wants including an eminent domain type taking. These used to be policy with the termination acts. That's stopped and now federally there is support of self governance, but that could of course change in the future.
You are poisoning the well. One of those accounts is old and the other is active.
I’m not responding to your email because you’re introducing a new problem that I don’t want to deal with right now.
I know you want to make money, but I’m still trying to get funding for the problems we already have.
We have a funding cycle that is about two to five years. Your email is not a priority because of that reason. Get your proposal properly vetted and written before the funding cycle and make sure that we know why the LOE and cost estimates are before we need money for it.
Throw in power consumption and Intel's stagnation starts to show. Look at their lasted chips having a 250W power limit when turboing -- almost double AMD! That's a pretty hard barrier to overcome without catching up on process technology.
> "We require N years of experience with X." Is that because this is your generic job description boilerplate? Or because your entire tech stack is inextricably tied to X?

99% of the time it's boilerplate/some HR rep who asked the devs "what do you code in?".

My advice is to pad your resume with every possible tech you ever touched to get past the keyword filtering.
I've never seen anyone imply: "this person is not a danger"...

I guess you can get some signals, sometimes... For when a person IS a danger.

But anyhow, most abuse happens in the privacy of a home, so I don't think I'd be able to vouch for anyone to really not be a creep. You never know what side of their personality people might be keeping hidden.

What exactly do you mean by "xBTC is secured by Bitcoin itself?"

Do you mean that Stacks writes out its own block hashes to the Bitcoin blockchain, or something?
Rather the masturbaters of their domain
That is rather misleading to use as an example... It's widely regarded as a one time thing that was agreed upon partly because the system (and testing tools) were so new at the time.

Bitcoin had a bug that was required an organized chain reorg back when it was early as well, but it's not regarded as fatal to putting trust in the chain now (search for "bitcoin value overflow bug", was kinda interesting)

More recently, Parity, one of the main developers of one the Ethereum clients, had millions locked up due to mistake in their smart contract code. They complained loudly, tried to get another roll back, and finally gave up... The overwhelming concensus was that Ethereum is no longer alpha grade, there will be no take backs ever again.
> The community killed scripting because it was antithetical to the thing that makes money in BTC: trust. The constant flow of n00bs coming in who got their transactions reversed by OP codes and said "BUT I THOUGHT BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS WERE IRREVERSIBLE!!?!?!!?!?!1111" was eroding trust in the ecosystem.

I never heard of all of this having happened. To my knowledge Bitcoin's scripting language was not trimmed, it was in fact extended over the years by various BIPs [1].

What's your source for these statements?

I don't understand this, though. It seems to be driven by a misunderstanding of how the data is being collected in the first place. It isn't some security vulnerability with Facebook. And Facebook isn't distributing the data to a third party. It's just sharing the data with users, who are then passing it off to the third party (intentionally or otherwise).

It's like expecting keyboard manufacturers to sue developers of keylogging software.
Because he's sitting on top of both, which means he needs to have the confidence of his shareholders. Shareholders will push him out quickly if they think he is incapable, more so at Square than Twitter. Frankly I am surprised they haven't already, but I think the fact he keeps a lower profile with Square it has helped his longevity.
Yes, and given the divorce rate and how widely applicable it is (everyone has their own "language" you need to decode) this could be a huge market!
I have to hire a lot of people for my job, and I think preparing good interview questions for myself and my hiring panel and comparing the quality of answers across all candidates sucks and there’s no good software solution out there (there are TONS of good recruiting tools and candidate management tools but the actual tool to help ask good questions and log all the answers doesn’t seem to exist). I want to pair this with a well maintained database of good interview questions per type of role rather than googling random blog posts of top ten questions.

If you are a hiring manager, I want to talk to you!

Well, since your entire rant was "we could be like New Zealand if it weren't for racist Republicans", I wouldn't call it a straw man by giving an example of "a racist Republican state" doing a better job than a state that's been run by liberals for decades.

Physical appearance really isn't the be-all and end-all you seem to think it is. Social status is also important. Being well liked and respected, highly skilled, charismatic, or just plain rich, all confer social status. High status people hang out with other high status people. An introduction from a high-status person implies that you also have high status, and does indeed carry value.
He has no idea what he is talking about.

This is a great idea. I hope you can win many restaurants to join this endeavor.
How do you achieve people like this? From my limited experience (college senior joining a hft firm shortly, so I've recently been in several quant finance SWE interview loops), firms seem to vastly downplay the financial aspects of the job for software engineers. Compounded on top of that, firms don't expect or encourage financial backgrounds for engineers (at least new grads)- the expectation is that whatever limited financial background we'll need to work will be given to us when it becomes necessary.

Is this because it's easier (obviously) to teach a quant engineering than it is to teach an engineer quant finance? Or rather because it's expected now that traders will become the bridge between researcher models and implementation, and engineers will simply provide the underlying infrastructure to power these implementations?
Each time I tried something like that I had to authenticate every devices again. But maybe I am doing something wrong.

I'm all talk here but this system you've described is an aspect of my dream, which is a personal ERP. Something to not only manage these goals / activities as you've described, but also to contain various aspects of information for your life. A repository for important documents filed in a manner that makes sense, profiles for the various people in your life containing various information (things they like, allergies, gift ideas, etc). Lots more in my head that I will continue dreaming about but certainly not lift a finger about.
I am very interested in playing this, following this and possibly taking part if you're looking for other people.

Nah, inviting the government to moderate these platforms is the last thing we want. It's bad enough there are only a handful of them, we definitely don't want all that power under one person's control.
