this has been my biggest problem with Meetup style events too. I'm often looking for others with a level of experience or interest in a topic to match my own, only to find people trying to break into the industry and just barely scratching the surface. At that point it's not a social thing for me, it's a mentoring/work thing, and I get this feeling of disappointment in the situation, which persuades me to skip the next.

Using GA isn't bad because there are two ways to run it.

First is when GA script is on <head> section. This is mostly popular, but making CWV scores little bit low.

Second is when GA script is anywhere on page, but not on <head>. Like before </body> or in <body>. This doesn't hurt your CWV scores.
This is exactly how we ended up with someone charging you $50/month to run a browser on a supercomputer.
They could just check if the username needs to be redirected, and if they do then ignore the password. It wouldn't be that hard.

The only downside is the user submitting a password they dont need to, but if you're using js you could post the username first and only post the password if needed. That would be the same exact process, except from the users perspective it would be seamless. You could even have it check the username as they type, and lock the password field if its not needed.

Completely agree! Long ago I worked at a fintech startup that made a Master Data Management (MDM) solution for hedge funds. Usually people would log into the webapp, make changes to the data, and log out. Do it 10 times and it starts to get boring.

A couple of folks hacked together an Excel plugin that could make those data changes in bulk. Voila! Customers loved it!

The amount of happy customers we got for that weekend project was overwhelming.

I would phrase the Shabbat prohibitions as "creative work", modeled after the days of creation and the creative labor of building the Tabernacle. The 39 general categories of labor have been documented for millennia, and are applied as the archetypes for technical usage in the modern world.

You know, that's an odd thing. Pre-hoi polloi internet, there was an awful lot of push for interface standards on PC/workstation/Mac software.

MiraDx | Senior Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | Full-time | Onsite

MiraDx builds genetic tests to predict patient responses to cancer treatments. We have also developed an FDA-authorized COVID test that we have administered to patients over 1 million times.

My name is Joanne Weidhaas, and I am an oncologist, molecular biologist and professor at UCLA. I founded MiraDx in 2008 with my colleague Frank Slack. MiraDx spun out of our research on a new class of genetic biomarkers.

Over the last year, in addition to developing a COVID test in the lab, we have also developed software to handle our large volume of COVID testing. We are looking for our first full-time software engineering hire to take the lead on that software (our stack is TypeScript, React, Firestore and Salesforce). Longer term, you would lead the development (and help conceive) of new software to streamline our genetic testing more broadly.

Depending on your background and interests, this role might end up being part data science and/or part product management. There is plenty of potential for wearing multiple hats and leadership.

If you're interested, please email me at joanne@miradx.com with "Software Engineer HN" in the subject line.

Hi everybody!

Lab Surprise is a game bundle micro-store built with just 2 Google Cloud Functions and Paddle API.

Get a surprise bundle of 3 VR apps from 19 games (the more you reveal, the lower your discount). 19 choose 3: that’s 969 different bundles, with an 4 discounts possible for each bundle

VR Scout explain it nicely: https://vrscout.com/news/app-lab-bundle-major-quest-discount...

We couldn’t find any platform or store that would allow us to have the mix of games and the surprise elements we wanted to have (we searched!), so… I build it over the course of a month, testing and iterating with the group

https://juliendorra.medium.com/lab-surprise-building-a-game-...

I wrote this post expanding a bit on how it is set up to hopefully encourage others to try and build their own experimental stores. The main lesson: you don't need to set up a whole monolithic web app to try new ways to sell. A couple of cloud functions could be enough.
The plan - pump a bunch of cool water under the big fire mountain - is either inspired or hubristic, foolish simplicity. I’ve not the knowledge to tell.

I was diagnosed with "Thymus Carcinoma", pretty similar story as yours. Had chemo, surgery and radiation. Doctors also did "hot chemo" during the surgery. With the grace of Jesus I am alive today.

It was a tough few months, but because of my trying times I think I got stronger in my faith and I would say it was worth it. It's a good feeling to live life knowing that God is by you, makes one more empathetic and puts value back on the important things like family.

Everyone has their own journey, I just want to encourage you :)

Disclaimer: I'm not a legal expert, just an engineer with my own opinions.

I struggle with it as well because conceptually in my mind this is the same as a grocery store using customer buying data to inform itself. Grocery chains have been using private label brands to compete with name brands for years. Check your cereal aisle for the "fruit loops" in the back without a box that are ~50% cheaper than the name brand boxed real fruit loops.

I never saw this as wrong growing up. I saw this as the store offering a cheaper comparable and consumers were able to chose which they want. In fact, the grocery store also controls what is on the end cap and what is on top and bottom of each shelf.

I think the landscape is heavily skewed in favor of the dominant online retail merchant. This skew and dominance is what causes people to claim afoul behavior is going on.
Asbestos is an almost magical material and if handled carefully (say similar levels that medical workers have to take for covid, surgeries, microbiology, etc) there isn’t much risk. It shouldn’t be in common construction or household materials but i’m not too worried about specialized industrial applications.

Verizon sold Yahoo and AOL to Verizon for less than $5B today. The Hadoop ecosystem founded in Yahoo by Doug Cutting would probably cost a lot more than $5B in value today. I can’t wait to see how FAANG turns out in 10 years from now.
Suppose Costco allowed other vendors to be present and selling in their stores. Costco requires these vendors to use Costco's checkout systems. Costco then takes the data gleaned from those sales to determine which products to compete with and then begins aggressively pushing their competing product.

Is this fair to the vendors?

Oh and there's one other ridiculously cool feature that would go nicely with this blog post about "thinking like a compiler" and that's BitVec

Some info here https://www.josephkirwin.com/2017/11/16/constraint-solver-ti...

Essentially though, you can model fixed width integers signed/unsigned using that and make assertions on things like integer overflow or change in signed-ness.

Uwaterloo did some work to abstract Strings ontop of BitVec so you can include them in your solver state too, worth a look to people that like this content https://z3string.github.io/

$ bash -c 'shopt -s extglob; rm -- !(x)'
bash: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: -c: line 1: `shopt -s extglob; rm -- !(x)'

Because of the strangeness of the bash parser, the glob has to come on the preceding line:

$ bash -c $'shopt -s extglob\nrm -- !(x)'
> To me this behavior by Amazon seems worse

only seems worse because amazon is so big, and so monopolistic, that a lot of people hold them to different standards.

It's the same idea that people expect a rich person to pay more taxes, or contribute more philothropically.
