Arist (YC S20) is hiring for a mid-level SWE
Some context: we're a YC S20 startup that helps organizations like Amazon, the State of California, and the Poynter Institute rapidly teach and train their employees, citizens, and learners — entirely via text message (view forbes feature here:https://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickdaso/2021/01/26/corporations-use-arist-to-deliver-employee-training-courses-one-text-message-at-a-time/?sh=63d60933ce10)

We're a deeply passionate and impact-driven team and are growing super quickly. We're looking for a mid-level SWE to help us scale effectively (we're re-building the platform in Ruby).
I thought tailwind was a terrible idea when I first looked at it. Many months later, I tried it on a side project, and really didn't get it at first, thought after ~2 full days of working with it I felt very productive. The people who dismiss things without trying them will continue too I suppose, I just hope I don't end up having to work with them in a professional setting :P
I can’t count how many times I’ve wanted a pedal when working in VR. Usually when I’m working in Unity and want to put my head and two tracked controllers into a specific pose and then trigger a breakpoint.

In the before times I would ask someone to walk over to my desk and click the mouse when I tell them. A pedal would have been much better!
Actually, he worked two jobs (in IT at that) for a year.

Two annual engineer salaries make for a nice cushion.

Few people can pull this off though.
Mac keyboard shortcuts were created before Windows existed. And I don't think there was any keyboard-shortcut standard at all in X-land at the time.

It was Microsoft who chose to be different here.
ayy you beat me to it haha

just a note that the typescript experience is broken right now - theres a downstream issue that needs fixing
I just switched back to Windows at work for the first time in like... almost 20 years. I'm dying without readline-style controls. If this can offer those, I'm going to jump for joy. I already have the Magic Keyboard Utilities to let me use my mac keyboard as a Windows keyboard and put things in sensical places. (Left Fn & Ctrl -> Ctrl, Left Option -> Meta, Left Command -> Alt, Right Command -> Function modifier, Right Option -> Windows Key) But my god no readline (^a / ^e etc) and I'm just losing my mind.
The nuance is taken. Good points.
xz is based on LZMA, which was originally introduced by 7-Zip.

xz is a much simplified version of the massively, insanely over-engineered and frankly impossible to implement 7-Zip format.

I once saw this in a downstream system that if an order was entered calculated price with the square of the quantity.

And the order in question was for 1000 400oz bars of gold (value $700k each).
A queue is an all-pay time auction.

It isn't inherently fair. It's simply a way to force everyone to waste their time evenly.

We as a society need to invent a better way to decide allocation of resources that doesn't just waste everyone's time.
In a non-mathematical context it would mean "given (that)", not "unless".

SEC rules aren't the only concern, and "market moving" was perhaps too specific a phrase. There are lots of legitimate legal and financial reasons that a company may choose to be circumspect in its communication.

As one totally hypothetical example, let's say that the project a candidate is being interviewed to work on is suddenly in jeopardy. This could be due to sudden unexpected financial hardship, like a big contract falling apart at the very last minute. Or it could be due to a new competitive threat resulting in a need to shift resources elsewhere. Or the new CEO just doesn't think it's worthwhile. Or, maybe the project ultimately proceeds and the candidate gets an offer.

In any of these situations, a company can easily find itself the target of an investor lawsuit if the reason for the hiring delay is inadvertently disclosed and there is some ensuing stock movement, even if no SEC rules are violated.

You might still think that this is overly cautious, and you may be right. Either way, ghosting doesn't only happen because people are inconsiderate (though that is certainly a reason), and I personally try not to infer too much about the culture when it happens to me.

Traditionally wood was used for window frames but it couldn't provide enough amount for building after WW2.. Aluminum is better than wood for durability and air sealing but stupid for insulation. Now all major window frame manufacturer is aluminum industry so that's why transition to resin window frames is hard..
I think we're going around in circles, my only objection is with the line of reasoning that a "connection to death" can be sufficient to reasonably discount something. I'll try to outline my good-faith understanding of where we disagree.

My argument: Support for a choice or policy should be made by one's evaluations of both its upsides and downsides. Something with big downsides could still be okay if its upsides are substantially bigger. It is irrational to make a choice based only on either the upsides or downsides of a choice. This approach should be applicable to all kinds of situations, from boring everyday ones to global policy ones.

My understanding of your argument: Support for a choice or policy can be rational based on only its upside or its downside, so long as its upside or downside is sufficient enough in magnitude. While comparing upsides and downsides might work in some scenarios (e.g. everyday scenarios, foods), it might not work in bigger-scale scenarios, such as the situation of what to do with highly toxic nuclear waste.

If that's where our disagreement does lie, I'm happy to chock it up to a difference in opinion. If I'm misunderstanding your position, that's definitely not my intent.
Everyone is talking about keyboard shortcut but just 2 months old mac user (due work) the biggest "fuck you" feature I encountered in Mac was key-repetition.

In PC and Linux, if you push down any letter key and keep it pushed, it repeat the key with a certain speed. In mac you can't by default do this. You have to use the terminal and go to a system file, change a variable and reboot the mac. You can, in system preferences change "speed" and "delay" of this behavior but by default this only applies to the space/backspace/arrow key. As a vim user this was probably the most annoying thing I encountered in years.

Something so fundamental being different was like being told "yea, at mac land gravity is going upward. Better get used to it!". I sent a request to change my laptop to dual boot PC/Linux the next day

Good point, my work-from-home "laptop" is a desktop I built so I guess I'm pretty sure there is no internal mic .
Fwiw Spacemacs is another good combination of the two, similar to evil mode.

As much as I'd still like a physical mic kill-switch on MacBooks (if any company has its interests aligned with privacy-signaling, it's Apple), this is a very useful tip, thanks for sharing!
I guess it depends on how likely you are to need to do that. Looking at b2 vs glacier deep it seems as long as you don't need the data more than every 2y that glacier still works out cheaper even with the high bandwidth costs.

> This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

Nope, guess not.
But if there is a trusted 3rd party, why would I need that whole sarcophagus system? Let's just cut out the extra step and give the key to 3rd party directly. May buy that safe deposit box at the bank, it is pretty cheap.

The whole premise of decentralized system is there is no need for trusted third parties.

I like this idea, probably because I have seen a lot of bad ones lately and there is some original thought gone into it.

My biggest criticism is WHY tie yourself into Arweave? It seems to me like it would be MUCH better for the contents of your sarcophagus to be something small like a 32kb TXT file, which could itself be JSON or whatever you want it to be that then points to where the files are actually stored + a decryption key.

Tying yourself to one specific storage technology instead of generic metadata that could be used for any purpose, to me seems to detract from the possibilities of what this could be used for.

Why shouldn't I just be able to put links to a google drive in here, or the password to my iCloud, or the coordinates to my buried treasure, etc.?

I understand the value proposition of Arweave, I get that, but why not let the user make the decision to use a "permanent file storage" of their choice instead of making that decision for them?
Nice idea but ridiculously wimpy switch. Rig up one of these American made beauties instead.

In my opinion, it’s far more damaging to the forum when moderators stifle all discussion of this issue. There are respectful and productive things to be said about it.

For one thing, the consensus among major newspapers on the capitalization of white/black is not absolute; the New York Times only capitalizes “Black,” while the Washington Post capitalizes both “Black” and “White.” For another thing, many white people find the selective capitalizing demonstrated in this article to be demeaning. I am one of them. Silencing that voice in particular strikes me as prejudiced moderation. Finally, non-Americans may be curious about this recent change in vernacular. They are entitled to answers.
That repo is very cool. I want to see them build further on it, go through recursive gcc / clang versions, etc. all the way to a kernel.

And your parent comment specifically framed it to ask whether it is, not whether it "should" be, so the response to you was hardly a "well ackshually."
I was pleased to discover recently that Microsoft PowerToys are a thing again and include a Keyboard Manager utility. It's really simple to use and works flawlessly.

It's nice to use an "official" product to remap the ctrl / cmd keys on my Apple keyboard while using my Windows PC.

When have you ever needed to repeat a key by holding it apart from typing aaaaaaaagh?
But where do you store the private key?
To be fair, it's a ten minute train ride from Mestre to Venice, so slightly easier to correct than Maine->SF.

But I don't understand why the station is sometimes(always?) called Venezia Mestre. Anyone going to Mestre on purpose knows where they are going, and no one going to Venice wants to get off at Mestre.

> So being a current homeowner, do I have a financial interest in preventing new houses from being built?

Only if you're using your home as a financial instrument rather than a place to live. But that has the same problems as eg, farmers and/or grocers having a financial interest in engineering a famine in order to drive up food prices.

> Could it be a mix of material supply issues and interest groups that are maintaining a housing shortage?

Probably, yes, plus various other factors in varying amounts.
That’s an interesting use case. As an alternative I wonder if you could set up a microphone to trigger the breakpoint when a word is spoken.

I don't think that there is an XMonad config file. XMonad is a library and the thing in your home directory is a program that gets compiled into being your window manager, implemented with that library.

Emacs and Vim aren't quite like that.
Why cannot the mainframes be replaced with virtual machines and the target binaries replaced with the identical output from a language with more than one compilation target? It seems from the outset this is entirely possible and practical given how much more compute is available from modern architectures. Why is this not now an entirely feasible and a pragmatic approach ?

Incremental search needs to be enabled, yes, but it’s just one line in your .vimrc.

What do you mean by “type to search”? Sounds like you’re omitting the “start search” key combo.

Your example in Vim:

* / to start a forward search

* type in the word and hit enter

* n/N for next/previous match

To modify the search:

* q/ opens your search history with the cursor at the last searched string

* modify the search string using standard Vim keys

* hit enter to search

Not too surprising. When I worked at the US Naval Research Laboratory someone submitted the paperwork for travel orders to attend a physics meeting in New Mexico, and it came back refused because he didn’t allow the required lead time for approval of foreign travel.
Although I too have lost my muscle memory, not having used Windows as my primary O/S in a while, one thing I miss is the ability to traverse through menus with a series of keystrokes; e.g., Alt-F, then p to print, as opposed to Ctrl-P. This came in handy for menu items with an obscure shortcut, or no shortcut at all.

Similarly, I would preface some programs in the Start menu with a unique number; e.g., Win, P, 1 opened File Explorer; Win, P, 2 opened the Command Prompt, etc. With the Windows 10 start menu, I just start typing, but it sometimes exhibits weird behavior, where it finds what I want after one or two characters, then changes to the wrong thing after I type another (correct) character.

I generally prefer the Cmd-Tab / Cmd-Tilde split on macOS to the Alt-Tab on Windows. However, after all these years, I still can't always predict which window is next--will I go back to the window I was just on, or keep going forward to another one?
I was unaware that such thing happened, and I'm kind of surprised as it sounds like somewhat un-EU-ish to me, but I obviously had the wrong sense of what is EU-ish. And I wholeheartedly support that. I mean, it makes sense. If the domain policy of *.eu says that it is for *.eu-based people and organizations, and you leave the EU, why the fuck should you keep it?

If EU wanted to make more money on it, it would have made it available for everyone from the start. If it doesn't... well, it just means domain-selling is not the core EU-business. So it's exactly one of the 2: either Russian and Japanese companies should be allowed to own *.eu domain, or British ones shouldn't. And I don't honestly care which one is it. But it cannot be both at the same time.

So, no, it's not about hurting you, it's simply about the fact that the world doesn't revolve around you. As surprising as it may sound.
Yeah, 5-spice powder is usually dominated by cinnamon. I've been using cinnamon (along with szechuan peppercorn and toasted cumin) to make the garlic chili oil for biang noodles at home. Similar to how it helps in a garam masala, it adds a lot of depth when it's mixed with a vinegar and soy sauce. It's really an amazing depth that it adds. It also plays a part in making hoisin sauce.
Is `display: table` a css feature made for centering things? No?

Not a fan of tailwind, but whoever thinks that is simple misunderstood the meaning of the word, it's not about the number of characters you have to type.
Isn't that what it is already though?

It feels like this particular essay has much shorter sentences and much shorter paragraphs. And it does stick out uncomfortably to me a bit to me as well.

On the general point of shorter sentences, I've found it to be an excellent first approximation rule. Follow it religiously if you're new to making your writing reader-friendly. Later on ... keep following it. But allow your discretion to override it sometimes.
No software is bug free including software written for the mainframe in JCL, REXX, Cobol, Mark IV, etc. Someone has to decide to either keep fixing the bugs as they crop up or migrate off of the platform. Turns out writing a whole new platform is very expensive.
No, lack of trade in wasn't the direct issue. They didn't lock everything due to failure to receive the trade, they locked it because of the debt that incurred. Read through some other comments-- someone else had the same thing happen for an $8 charge when it was rejected by the credit card company after posting to a cancelled card.
Once my bank forced me to update. When I went to make a “scheduled payment” (as I like to do after opening my bills...), it now said “coming soon”.

I was not impressed.
Ask HN: Areas outside of software conducive to hacking?
Like a lot of others on here I have for a long time enjoyed tinkering around and building little software projects. Recently, I've been building my own 8-bit computer from TTL logic by following Ben Eater's excellent tutorial [1]; it seems like electronics is another place with a lot of scope to tinker around and have fun solving little puzzles. This got me wondering - what other areas outside of software and electronics are conducive to this kind of tinkering, and what are the best on-ramps and resources to get into them?

The canonical AWS answer here is: Elastic Beanstalk.

If you use a CI tool, it probably has a CD counterpart which can pipe a passing build directly to EB.

Or you can deploy manually from your repo with "eb deploy".

In either case, AWS will automatically bring the app up on new instances, and test them. If everything looks good, the load balancer will direct live traffic to the new instances, and then spin down the old ones.

Config changes use a similar process.
> Italians also weren't considered "white" for a while in early US history, I believe.

No, we weren't. And it's complicated. Half of my family is from southern Italy, and their skin is olive-brown. I've seen southern Italians being mistaken for middle easterners several times. Little surprise, as southern Italy was conquered many times over the course of history, by various Mediterranean peoples. But we gloss over this, and equate Europe with whiteness. Italian and Irish diaspora in the US benefit from this new classification (I'm actually unsure of when that change happened), and aside from my great-grandparents (who were immigrants), that side of my family was generally welcome wherever they've moved within the US.
My 1200 day streak was actually first Portuguese, then Russian (with some overlap), and I've used many other resources to help learning in both cases, I never only did Duolingo for long amounts of time. I don't think using only any single app or method is a good idea anyway, they all have their pros and cons, things they're good at and things they're bad at.

My Portuguese is good enough to have day-to-day conversations and I can read things like newspaper article without problem. Note that my native language is French though, another Romance language, so the gap was really not that large to begin with. I'm sure you must find the complicated French conjugation system, plus the gendered nouns a bit of a headache if you're a native English speaker. That stuff works pretty similarly between French and Portuguese, so I had a big headstart here, I could just focus on memorizing the differences (the portuguese subjunctives can go fodar themselves by the way).

Russian is a whole other ordeal however, I still have a long way to go until I reach fluency. I can usually decipher newspaper articles okay-ish, but oral comprehension is still very low and my ability to construct the language is still pretty basic, although I could probably go through a simple conversation with a native with a lot of effort and many mistakes. The main difficulty at this point is learning and remembering all that vocabulary, I can't rely on cognates like for Portuguese and to a lesser extent English. I need to relearn basically everything. That takes a lot of time, and Duolingo really only gets you so far.
Kind of a sad story. On the first visit everyone is so happy. On the third visit no one cared. The rise and quick fall of vanishing fame can be hard to manage. The problem with fame is, it is never based on who you are it is based on an association to an idea.
