Show HN: We created custom domains for read.cv with Vercel edge functions
Awhile back we shared a new professional platform we'd created called Read.cv — a super minimalist profile with your work history, projects, and case studies. A lot of people had been asking for custom domains to turn their profile into a personal homepage. Well today we are happy to launch personal domains, complete with custom typography and themes!

We used Vercel's new Edge Functions to make the routing work seamlessly in our web app, while under the hood it's actually using Cloudflare Workers to do middleware processing and routing at the edge layer. Because all this routing happens at the edge layer before requests even make it to our web app, we get features like bundle splitting, authentication and caching at the per domain level, and all for free. The end result is that we can build a web app without worrying about all the hairy details: we can re-use components from our main site in custom domains, static resources correctly load from custom domains rather than our main site, and all the routing logic is cached at the edge layer for fast handling.

Let us know if you try out custom domains, and happy to answer any questions about the feature!
Yes, the SV way of saying that he is retiring because he is obscenely rich.
crap how do I fix this

edit: ok closing and reopening amazon did the trick :)
Ok, let's do our football daily standup, every play in the huddle:

Tackle: I'm going to block. No blockers (err).
Tackle: I'm going to block. No blockers (err).
Guard: I'm going to block. No blockers (err).
Guard: I'm going to block. No blockers (err).
Center: I'm going to snap the ball then block. No blockers (err).
Running back: I'm going to run. No blockers.
Wide Receiver: I'm going to run then maybe catch the ball. No blockers.
Wide Receiver: I'm going to run then maybe catch the ball. No blockers.
Wide Receiver: I'm going to run then maybe catch the ball. No blockers.
Quarterback: I'm got to receive the snap, then do something with the ball. No blockers.
Tight End: I'm going to block. My blocker is that my shoe is untied.
Guard: You should tie your shoe.
Guard: You should tie your shoe.
Running back: You should tie your shoe.
Quarterback: Would you guys STFU, we've got stuff to do.
Tackle: Daily standups are important for morale and communication.
Referee: Delay of game, 5 yard penalty, repeat the down.
I hadn't heard of RealChess before, thanks for the link. Some of these exercises are definitely interesting. I like the idea of the attacked pieces exercise combined w/ visualization, I'd like to add an exercise like that to my site at one point. The ChooseMove feature is very similar to the Blunder Preventer on AimChess, which I've found to be useful.

The 2-ply default may be a bit soft. I wanted to keep the defaults as easy as possible, so the initial couple puzzles aren't discouraging for lower-rated players. I think I could make the adjustment there more discoverable though.
Add Bangkok!
Fair enough. Like the sibling says, checking the moral equivalent of [ -t 0 ] probably distinguishes enough interactive vs non-interactive use to add an interactive-only default.

I'd add that script-y usage of brew already can block on user input (e.g. if a cask asks for sudo), so adding a go/no-go check probably only breaks the most determined automators, while the benefits accrue to a wide swath of users (both new and fat-fingered).

Regardless, thanks for all the work you (and the community!) do on Homebrew! I wouldn't like macOS half as much (or have bought half as many) without it.
But we just need a thick but lightweight shell, which is hard to puncture, not a whole volume made with aerogel.
I'm on it, except the lack of resources!

https://tablam.org

Is based on the relational model (+spiced with multidimensional-array capabilities like kdb+/pandas), and allow to have universal query/crud capabilities to anything (files, vectors, btrees, hashmaps, rdbms access(not yet!)), etc.

In other words, it has in-built linq-like capabilities:

-- A column, aka: Vectors...
let qty := [10.5, 4.0, 3.0]
-- Like APL/kdb+ operations apply to more than scalars
prices * 16.0

-- The ? (query) operator allow to do SQL-like queries to anything
let doubled := qty ?select #0 * 2.0

let products := open("products.csv")
-- like files!
for p in products ?where #price > 0.0 do
print(p)
end
--so, we can do joins between anything:
for p in cross(products, qty) ?limit 10 do
print(p.products.price * p.qty)
end

It also has some small things to fit my domain (business apps), like decimals instead of binary floats as the default, in-built dates, easy to write tabular data in code, lazy streaming I/O and the like.

---

I'm now trying several things that I wish to make it work:

* Loss-less parsing and high-quality errors

* Type inferencing relational operators (like a JOIN b JOIN c JOIN d SELECT a, b) because type this manually is not ergonomic

* Making a way to the user to create relational operators (like with generators on python) that fit well with query optimizations. In other words, I wish to have a simplified way to do compiler optimizations but for the query/array operators, that I bet will dominate all.

With this I wish to get into version 1.

---

And moving further in the dream: I wish to build a access/foxpro/excel tool, so it also means an improved language with a UI toolkit across platforms. And maybe even a in-built rdbms (using sqlite? from scratch?). For this, is where manpower and money is needed.

Anyway, I think get the lang to be enough for my scripting needs is feasible, so I only limited to how much far I can go. But living the dream!
Reading this and similar other pieces, I wonder what is not at an inflection point?
>Study authors said the findings suggest vaccinating young children against COVID-19 could also elicit a similar or greater degree of protection than that of adults.

>Given similarities in the response to natural infection in children
and adults, it is likely that vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 will also elicit a similar degree of protection
across the full spectrum of age, as has recently been reported for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in children
12–15 years of age (42). Though we cannot directly compare our results to the neutralizing antibody titers
reported in vaccine trial studies, both the vaccine trial data and our results suggest that younger age may be
associated with greater neutralizing antibody responses.

I'm not a doctor, but doesn't this actually suggest that the younger the age we can administer COVID-19 vaccines, the stronger the antibody response is likely to be?
We spend so much time interviewing people, we should be filtering those folks out before they even join the company.
That sounds like a bad idea. If your site is successful the broker could jack up the price to let you keep control. Better to stick to registering domains directly through a normal registrar. And if you are not in a position to create a Norwegian enkeltpersonsforetak or aksjeselskap, then why bother with a .no domain?
Are you're implying that there is a third factor that both reduces risk of dementia by 10x and increases risk of kidney failure by 10x? I think that's highly unlikely.

Or theoretically getting dementia a decade later could protect against organ failure a decade earlier.

But I really don't think that's it. If this data is right there is probably an effect. I agree with the author that the mostly likely reason this isn't true is because of bad data.
Exactly. LLVM and Cranelift are essentially code generation backends when you’re applying them for dynamic languages. You need an entire actual custom compiler in front of them to get good code out of them.

>Humans can easily discern at a glance at most 3 symbols

Are you sure about this, or have a source where I can read more? There are some counterpoints: both Japanese and Chinese use four-digit grouping for numbers, and it's common to see things like credit cards use four-digit groups.
Yeah, any time an executive speaks plainly it blows up in their face
No, they actually are different in Tolkien. In Tolkien, the universe was created by Ainur (supernatural beings) by singing a song in response to Eru (the "One God"). The Ainur who felt responsibility for the creation and wanted to help it form entered into it. Those Ainur are called Valar or Maiar. The Valar are more powerful, but are not able to manifest themselves into the world as humans or elves or anything. Maiar are less powerful, but are able to manifest into the physical world as humans or elves or whatever. Both are immortal, though Maiar's "bodies" can be killed (what happens then is unclear, but they are clear that this does not "kill" the supernatural being). There are both good and bad Valar and Maiar.

The 5 Wizards (Gandalf, Radagast, Saruman, and 2 unnamed blue wizards) are Maiar manifested to help the Ring make it to Mt Doom. They are literally the beings that helped create the universe, manifested in physical form. And they have the backing of even more powerful beings (the Valar).

That's why Gandalf scares the shit out of everything, and seems to know everything. He has existed in one form or another since the dawn of time, there are very few beings with even a glimmer of the power he has, and he's immortal to boot.

One thing that gives this idea a bit more credence is that Aragorn is also not tempted by the ring in the same way the other humans are. Aragorn descends from Luthien, who is the child of Thingol (an elf) and Melien (a Maia). The whole Numenorian royal bloodline descends from them. Also telling is that the Numenorian royalty lived significantly longer than normal Numenorians, similar to Maiar. Of course, elves also can't die of old age, so it's hard to attribute that directly to the Maiar.

Gandalf not being totally immune isn't surprising. Sauron poured his Maia powers into the ring, so it's of a roughly equal power level to Gandalf. Perhaps higher since Sauron sacrificed his ability to manifest in the physical world. Gandalf's power is the ability to recognize the ring's corrupting influence. It doesn't sound like much, but the rest of the cast is practically tripping over themselves to get the ring even after being explicitly warned it will drive them mad. Gandalf is able to keep his sanity whilst near the ring, and that was enough to accomplish his goals.
Processes in aviation and defense are long, drawn out affairs but they're also the result of successfully managing projects orders of magnitude bigger than any software company could dream of. (say, a decade between drawing board and first prototype, another decade until full production)

Lots of up front planning in great detail with timelines and details dependencies. Lots of understanding how schedules slip. Some space systems go to the levels of planning for a number of bugs and if the result is off high or low, it is a matter for investigation.

Also, no daily meetings (unless culture has changed since I was inside a while back).

The most important things are an advanced method of requirements generation and change management.

It seems like almost everyone in the software industry is just making shit up as they go along which is... themed to the right way to do things but not actually doing it. Cargo cult processes.
You yourself gave the answer. “Tend to” means it is likely, not that it will always happen.
Still, one could reasonably expect that applying a functional pipeline to web page contents (extract and filter links, pipe them into the download queue) should be regular web browser functionality.
> ...and Sandy Bridge CPUs are honestly still modern enough that I'd honestly say most complaints about modernity are artificial consumerist nonsense.

Just because you don't personally see any benefit to the advancements being made doesn't mean others don't. They're certainly still performant enough to be useful but even something like h.264 decoding puts a huge strain on my haswell laptop, which is a trivial task to newer ones thanks to advancements in chips. This isn't even an uncommon task. Anyone who watches videos online probably benefits from this, especially when it comes to laptops which are concerned with battery life.

> We're at the point where computers, cars and phones are good enough and commoditized to the point where they should be lasting 10+ years.

Cars do last 10+ years. I'm driving around in a 17 year old vehicle and it works just fine. But I don't think that means we should halt all progress in vehicles. It's still using gasoline and not running on electric motors, after all. At some point down the road perhaps we'll see commoditization of batteries in the auto industry but that's not where we're at today, where the vast majority of vehicles on the road still run on gas.

> Instead, we're moving toward a 4-year maximum with everything sealed up and soldered, so you can throw it on the e-waste pile and replace it to keep "infinite" growth chugging. The iMac is particularly offensive.

If the iMac is offensive to you, then don't buy it. All these environmental arguments on this website always come off as extremely disingenuous when they pair it with their solution being imposing restrictions rather than creating a superior product.

> What Foundation is doing should be the norm, by law.

I can't stand these authoritarian takes. No one is forcing you to partake and there are options available to people that hold certain ideologies. The idea that you must impose that on everyone by law is absurd.
The computer point is fair, but for many growing your own food and making your own clothes is nearly impossible with some kind of corporation involvement.
Good data. We have learned that if your company ever gets bought by Microsoft, you have to wait about three years to be fully vested. (The acquisition was in June 2018, but I guess it must have been finalized on November 3rd ;)
You might be reading the anti-corporate sentiment into that comment.

It seems more directed towards the public space of Twitter and Facebook where corporations have enough rope to hang themselves in the town square.
They are wrong.

> In a software team you do have plenty of time and opportunities to talk as soon as a blocker or issue appears

If only this we're always true. In reality your teammates can be busy which means queries to them will often go unanswered. Standup is the only time to guarantee responses from busy people on the team.
Voters must make high fidelity communications among biohazardous human capital objects mandatory or nobody will comply.
Yeah, I agree that it's overblown.
Chartbook #49: Global bond market turmoil 2021 – an explainer
I’m sure it would still generate heat still without doing anything other than plugging it in.. Stick a LTE chip in there as a fallback to mine for the company’s pool. Would probably make enough money to offset the cost.
And authy has a desktop app too, which makes it much more convenient.
That would be (most likely) an absolute world record in surviving with a heart transplant. In 2016, someone died with a survival Guinness Record of 33 years [1], your Aunt would exceed that quite far. Current (non-official) US record supposedly is 35 years [2]. I am not saying your are mistaken, just noting that she might be an outlier.

Daily stand ups are _hell_ because they always end up taking ~1 hour for 3 people.

If you say more than what you're doing, what you've done, and whether you're blocked or not you're saying too much during your standup. It shouldn't take you more than 3 minutes to give your status. The entire stand-up shouldn't take more than ~10 minutes.

Remember, you're supposed to stand up to make it kinda uncomfortable and informal. Everybody video-chatting their standup has made it too easy to be relaxed and waste time.
"..which fulfills my lifelong ambition of..."

OP is probably referring to this tired, cliched turn of phrase (among other examples in the blog).
In Germany you negotiate the "gross" salary. But certain mandatory insurance payments (healthcare, unemployment, retirement, nursing) are split between employee (subtracted from gross) and employer (added to gross). So the direct cost to the employer is about 20% higher than the "gross" salary.
If only we could harvest hate for energy, then we could power our mining machines from your opinion alone!

To be pedantic, it needs a 64K machine like the 1982 1200Xl or 1983 800XL so would not run on the (max w/o 3rd party mods) 48K Atari 800 from 1979. But yes, wow!
Most of the discussions have been very tongue-in-cheek. It seems like it IS a very nice microfiber cleaning cloth but not worth the hype. Most of the hype came from it selling out so quickly.

> A recent study found that vaccinated people infected with the delta variant are 63 per cent less likely to infect people who are unvaccinated. [1]

> This is only slightly lower than with the alpha variant, says Brechje de Gier at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands, who led the study. Her team had previously found that vaccinated people infected with alpha were 73 per cent less likely to infect unvaccinated people. [2]

> What is important to realise, de Gier says, is that the full effect of vaccines on reducing transmission is even higher than 63 per cent, because most vaccinated people don’t become infected in the first place.

17 Yr Old Hacker Steals $300K & Gives It Back – Joins Twitter Spaces to Say Why
I don't mind the bluntness, but you should either delete the data cancel the sub, or keep the sub and the data. I don't understand why you'd do one and not the other if you cared about the customer. And again 7 day is a bit short, though in a follow up email they extended it to 2 weeks.
SMS 2fa is still multiple times more secure than no 2fa at all though.
The worst standup I ever had were where it wasn't a standup at all. It was a role call by the managing director to check up on what you did the day before and to generally berate you for any minor transgression in his idea of what you should have been working on.
I'm with you about corporate drivel generally, but I'm not really seeing it here... this post is much more human and expresses seemingly genuine gratitude towards team members in a way that's absent from the utter tripe I find, for example, in the LinkedIn feed.
It's not that simple because these imbalances won't last forever. If the cost of renewable power remains low, it will encourage people in those regions to buy EVs, electrify their homes and businesses, relocate industrial usage to that area, etc.

If crypto-miners jump in to soak up that excess capacity, that cycle doesn't happen and there's very little positive outcome to show compared to all of those uses. 50 years from now, people are going to wish electrifying normal life had happened quickly but they're not going to be using a blockchain or glad that some speculators were able to make large returns for a few years.
We are always possibly sick at all times, getting a test done will not prevent or change that. The fact that we don’t get anxiety daily is because we forget about it and move on with life. But what is worse? Getting anxiety over being sick for a couple days or living in regret because you didn’t get a simple test to discover something potentially treatable early on?

If you “accept mortality” in the way you seem to imply then there’s no need to worry about health anyway. Should I just “accept” that if it wasn’t prostate cancer something else would’ve killed me anyway, so why check?
This was already required to generate what's called an "App Password", in order to keep using IMAP in a sane way without constantly getting emails about suspicious logins when my K9-Mail app on my phone connects to public hotspots.

The irony of the matter is that I keep my OTP key in the same password manager as my google password, in order to not require a phone to access it, and this "App Password" is significantly weaker than my generated passwords...
Ironically, ETH switching to PoS is the reason I am holding the currency.

In the future I expect all PoW cryptocurrencies to be banned, or severely hobbled, because of their electricity usage and e-waste. I have a long bet on ETH specifically because of its eventual move to PoS. Bitcoin doesn't even have a plan, and when the legal landscape changes it will be in the worst position to pivot.

We'll just have to see what the future holds. But I got my money down.
it looks like a foreword. Modern articles have made sure I never read those.

> People are just different, and work in different ways.

That's exactly the point I was trying to get across.

I was expressing what standup is to my team and why we bother doing it at all, not what I think it should or must be. The point I was trying to make was around being intentional around the team's behaviour. If everyone wants show up whenever they want to, that's fine, let's just call it what is so that no one is wondering what the rules are. My team decided that we all want to start the day at the same time, so that's what we do, but processes aren't set in stone and this can change at any point. For example, if you were on my team, then we would change our process to accommodate you.

It sounds like you worked at incredibly toxic companies.
So you think I'm a multi-level marketer? Is it even possible to prove otherwise? I just happen to believe in that project and like to talk about it. Am I supposed to not talk about this stuff?

I don't particularly care that energy is being spent on cryptocurrency. What I hate is the fact that energy is being spent on bitcoin in particular. The energy is not supposed to be wasted, it's supposed to buy us something. Namely, a decentralized, private, anonymous, uncensorable, unsanctionable digital cash network. Something that could withstand even the might of the US and China if needed.

Bitcoin is not it. At this moment I think Monero is closest to being it. I'm totally open to new ideas.
She taught me computers. Many years ago she worked for Unisys so computers have always been a thing in our house. A lot has changed since then but she does okay when the computer isn't a windows machine.
