Hey, I'm Derick Sozo Ruiz, a JavaScript Developer and Technical Writer with over 5 years of experience. I've written articles, emails, and developer docs for startups at different stages, including YC companies, helping them grow by using my technical knowledge and writing skills.

With over 5 years of experience in technical writing, I've contributed to various companies including:

- Crossmint (web3 payments): Helped attract more web3 NFT developers through a complete overhaul of technical documentation and new technical posts on Medium, leading to a 1.4x increase in onboarded developers in July 2022.

- Amplication (>12.9K GitHub stars): Revamped developer docs, wrote high-quality technical content, and doubled documentation engagement, resulting in a 53% increase in average documentation page visits per user and 63,478 total documentation page visits within 6 months.

- Vue Mastery: Grew Medium traffic by over 479,000 views through 8 educational, SEO-focused articles, achieving a total read time of 161 hours and 18 minutes.

- Text Blaze (YC W21), *DigitalOcean*, and *The Startup* (a top publication on Medium).

If you're looking for a technical writer who understands developers and can help you write articles, emails, or developer docs then I'm your guy.

Thank you.
And people will not use discord for the same gatekeeping reason.

Like I have tried discord a few times but I just cant "feel at home" with it. Its like too much content at once.

You can have bridge to discord from matrix so that solves one problem for now but again, discord and matrix feel like eons apart.
Heya! Sorry, I would've added some links but I was on mobile and still am.
As I hinted at, this is mostly coming from anecdotal wisdom I've heard. The hardest evidence seems to be Apple's chips increasing more (10-20%) in GB6 vs GB5 when compared to how much other manufacturers such as QLC and INTL increased. As another comment said, GB5 is well known to be quite accurate with SPEC (industry standard), thus this discrepancy with GB6 and GB5 is a bit concerning.
Of course synthetics are always skewed (sometimes because a chipmaker tries, sometimes not), most famously Cinebench which has lost most credubility for favoring SIMD perf far too much.

Also might be worth it to check out the top comment to see an example of how a choice can bias syncthetics but not real-world.
Some feedback on your site's UX - on desktop, I don't expect hovering on a menu item to open a new context, so by habit I click on it. You're opening on hover, though, and my click is closing the context immediately.
It is honestly shocking how different people can be, even within programming. Been finding LLMs very useful for pair programming and low-effort spin-ups of projects I would just never do without the tools. Frankly, I'm waiting any day for an architecture to arise that takes lossy LLMs and has them error correct enough to produce 99.9999% reliable progress on simple tasks cheaply. This feels incredibly close, and if the unit of intelligence of each step of those is around GPT4 level? Jesus christ. Programming massively automated overnight.

Any programmer that is this dismissive of these tools frankly... hasn't been using them right, and has no imagination - or a massive ego. This stuff is still far too early to make such judgements.
A 30 minute walk around most parts of downtown San Francisco is not exactly the kind of 30 minute walk OP likely has in mind.
I'm a little confused by the characterization of the rebellion as a continuation of the Old Republic fast carrier philosophy as, as far as I can recall in the current canon, there is no emphasis on carriers at all but rather on individual fighters that are independent of carriers due to their hyperdrives (which, along with shields, have been the primary distinguishing factors between the rebellion and Imperial starfighter forces).
Definitely agree with what you're saying.

It's easier for us at the start to get some attention from Loom specific users by mentioning Loom directly, but it's not a sustainable strategy going forward.

Will update the marketing copy etc over the coming weeks/months to be more about the problem we're solving specifically.
It's very easy to find multiple solutions to one problem. The power of LLM is that it's one solution to many problems.
1. Any piece that uses Haidt's "Coddling" essay early on as support is questionable because that piece is horseshit

2. I'd be very interested to read something interrogating the Gallup poll quoted early... it seems to have interesting but vague questions like "Are you satisfied with the current size and power of the federal government?" or "Are you satisfied with the influence of organized religion?" ... but since people's different viewpoints would cause conflicting result-based reactions to those questions (if there was zero organized religion I would be VERY satisfied while certainly other people would call that disastrous)... then doesn't the Gallup poll at least partially become not about the direction of the country but how well the powers that be are "selling" the direction of the country?
The next version could be what happens as alpha approaches exactly 1/137.
> positioning your project as an alternative implementation of something is a losing proposition.

Insightful, as I witnessed the problem caused by TiDB's compatibility with MySQL.
Australia should be #1. it is bonkers here right now. US is expensive than AU? hell no.
I don't understand how this isn't a bigger deal. No public COE (correction of errors) for what happened on the google side? Without a public COE from Google I don't understand how anyone could use GCE for a serious production system.
Whole-codebase understanding is beyond current coding assistants’ capabilities. To do that you need to add in traditional static analysis. But I’m sure people are working on it!
thanks for this! agreed, will fix.
This is quite nice, but you really ought to have some page accessible with attributions to the open source projects you're using to power this!
The worst law firm in this country in my eyes is K&L Gates. A black executive known for speaking up on racism, sexism, etc# went a bit too far when he blew the whistle on a large cybersecurity incident.

He wound up in jail for making threats.

The whole thing was a sham.

It's frightening to think about but one man at the helm of a major law firm has more power and influence in changing policy than any one elected official in washington.
This is my first time reading about Gleam and it looks really cool! How's the experience of writing Vue components in it? Web frameworks like it and Svelte tend to liberally meddle with the syntax & semantics of JS through transpilation to have a specialized dev experience, so it can be difficult to use a different language and feel like a first class citizen since it's not like using a simple API anymore (unless there is special consideration given to it like ReScript and React).

Also, what's the concurrency story like? Gleam does not seem to support async/await but apparently it has colored functions when compiling to JS, though I'm not sure how those interop with the JS ecosystem.
I’d also note mindfulness only works with practice and reflection as well as an experienced guide. It’s not a pill to be swallowed. Likewise CBT and other interventions need a work, practiced, and an experienced and licensed practitioner.

Finally I would look at late life outcomes as well. A lot of the lessons of vipassana and other mindfulness lessons are difficult for the very young. Handing someone a life time tool and expecting it to yield apples before the tree is even planted or tended is absurd.

I've found some of Loom's auto-descriptions (including previews in Slack) to be pretty solid use case for AI.

Just to address this comment chain: loom does make it easier to do screen recordings and demos, and additionally has features like timestamped comments and notes and sharing functionality.

The target customer is a business who is making demo videos and needs these kinds of tracking/collaboration/commenting features.

Folks interested in open source maybe want a better offering, don’t want to be locked in, want more favorable pricing, or want a self hosted version.

As someone who has used loom, the value proposition is clear from the title without even going to the website.
The post you're responding to said abandoning a postdoc. The PhD was completed. So I'm not sure it has anything to do with not enjoying open ended work.
9front, seemingly Plan 9's de-facto successor, is almost surely quirky, often whimsical, at times nostalgic. It might even be functional, depending on how you define that[1]. Is actively developed, has a vibrant community. Puts an interesting spin on how you lay out systems, but doesn't diverge much from the Bell Labs formula. I'd certainly recommend giving it a shot, for the UNIX-inclined.

[1] I've daily driven it back in high-school, for all that's worth. Wrote assignments in troff and all. Some people might be able to tell of less mundane success stories as well.
Dunno, think you’re trying to eat your cake and have it too here…

> Mary’s Walk … [the] apostrophe … conveys information about the thing. Not that it’s important in this context, but in others, it is

The only information being conveyed here is a hint at the etymology, though, and as you rightly point out, that’s not important in this context, but it’s also sufficiently incomplete that the inclusion of the apostrophe could mislead. Was Mary a specific local woman, a reference to a biblical figure, a church, the surname of a local farming family, or a weird Northern word for something else? Is it a perversion of an old Danelaw word? Was it always a possessive name, or was that added by an enterprising local sign writer in the 1810s? St Albans is always written without an apostrophe or a dot, where ironically St. Kilda sometimes does have one.

I would suggest there are no situations in which this information is important to include in the name itself, and doing so adds a false layer of confidence that place and street names in the UK can be trusted.
exactly!!

People may well use Loom-like functionality that’s integrated into other tools they use without knowing the name “Loom”.

Loom had a head-start, but other companies (e.g. Vimeo) copied the feature pretty quickly.

And also, more importantly, this is a “Show HN” post, so reasonable for people here to question the comparison.
Show HN: AI Project Manager to ship faster but it turned into a useless teenager
The idea is an integration that just lives w/ your team everywhere. GitHub, slack, trello, asana w/e.

Automates all the PM tasks that small teams, or teams w/o PMs might appreciate: answers questions, sets reminders, generates reports.

Also working on adding persona, but I've got some kinks to iron out because the wrong attributes and it can get sassy!

You're saying that LLMs meet the stronger definition of "understanding?" I disagree: You're confusing necessary with sufficient. [0]

Take the original analogy of a person with an if-then opaque phrase table, and make it a slightly fancier two-step process where they must also compute a score based on recent phrases or words to determine the proper output.

So now the system has "memory" and gives better output... But was that sufficient to create understanding? Nope.

[0] And perhaps not even necessary, if we consider an operator who does understand Chinese but their short-term memory has been damaged by an injury.
There is Supplemental Security Income in the US. And I think in Canada and Europe there are even more government subsidies available.
Feedback: can there be a big “loom” on the homepage showing how it works or what differentiates it? Right now we only see tweets but nothing that gives me the “aha” moment to want to try it out.

Make me remember the pain, and show me really clearly how your software will fix it right now. Screen studio does a good job of this.
So, this isn’t SCUMM
The more you vent, the more stressed you become. The key isn’t learning all these little tricks, it’s learning to persevere. Our society is so weak that the idea of mental toughness is shunned as “toxic masculinity” or whatever but the fact is depression and suicide rates have soared as we’ve gotten away from the idea that toughness is good.

Have heroes. Don’t allow yourself to whine. Aim for victory. In the process you’ll discover you’re much happier.

When I say forward, I'm thinking of forward in terms of 3D space, not forward in terms of time.

Thinking about time doesn't bring clarity. As you point out, you could lay out a timeline such that forward in space means forward in time (text adventure game). Or you could lay out a timeline such that forward in space means backward in time (macOS Time Machine).

The 100k Stars zoom has no notion of time, just of space. When thinking about space, up generally corresponds to forward. Think of a signpost with an arrow pointing right, that means go right. If a signpost has an arrow pointing up, that means go forward. Or any map, e.g. a physical map, or gps navigation software, or a videogame minimap: in those up means forward.

Our maps are meant to be read from above. If we lay a map on a table, we look down at it, and forward means forward. If we then pick up the map, so that our face faces forward instead of down, now up means forward.

If we had a map meant to be read from below, and we stuck the map on an upside-down table hovering over our heads and bent our necks backward to read it, then if forward means forward on that map, when we take the map off the hovering table and stop bending our necks back, up would mean backward. That's not how we make maps though.
Maybe just my nostalgia for old star wars lore, but I found this to be a surprisingly pleasant read. It felt like a conversation with old friends at 3 in the morning.
Oh wow!
I remember this thing from forever ago!

Very cool concept
Windows also has built-in screen recording.
According to https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=251000... January and February are among the most productive wind energy months in Canada, with the summer months being notably lower. I couldn't easily find stats about nr of low-wind days. I guess Canada also has the advantage that it's a big country so local weather variations doesn't necessarily matter as much.
I think in this case it means not having an apostrophe. That is, nothing as opposed to something.

I feel like I’ve never had an issue with tech or found it stressful. for me assembly is like a snow covered forest. Social networks are like flower beds
Agora Rd and similar small forum sites are still there, like the hole in the wall restaurants that people have to choose to go to instead of McDonald's. Prices are higher, algorithms are worse, but there's genuine connection there.
Help!!

My Web site runs on Windows. Nearly all the code is in Visual Basic.NET (VB) with some code in C accessed via Platform Invoke.

For building the Web pages there is use of ASP.NET (active server pages). There is some use of ADO.NET (ActiveX Data Objects) for operations on relational database (currently SQL Server).

What is sent to a user is just some HTML code with, optionally, a little JavaScript (JS) code written for me by ASP.NET.

So, the bytes my Web site sends go to the user's Web browser which does the defined things with the HTML and JS in ways that are not a security threat to the user's computer.

The user reads what their browser displays and types, clicks, and returns data to my Web server and VB software.

Then my VB software checks the data returned for reasonable and legal values. I am assuming that a user might enter data that needs these checks -- user typing errors, ..., malicious user.

It appears that the code in the JavaScript Security Cookbook (JSC) is intended to be sent to the user along with my HTML and JS code so that the JSC code running in the user Web browser can, e.g., do the checking for reasonable and legal values.

Question: How can the JSC code running in the user's computer protect my Web server from dangerous data sent by a malicious user? That is, it would seem that both in principle and in practice a malicious user could have their computer send my Web server any bytes at all and that the JSC code would be no protection for my server???

Explanations???
Oh I forgot to add, if anybody's keen to test it out:

I don't have discount plans right now, but let me know and I'll hook you up with unlimited usage + a discount plan when they launch.
You nailed it. Really appreciate you linking it up for a fr13nd.
Not only is it very easy to confirm what I said with a couple Google searches, but I know of huge employers, of the sort that have enormous HR teams, that routinely IQ test applicants. With actual IQ tests. There is no prohibition on IQ testing in US employment.

There are lots of reasons not to do it (I sure wouldn't consider a job that required an IQ test). But there's a mythology that IQ testing is the super-effective recruiting tool that American employers are forbidden to use. No, they don't do it because it sucks ass as a recruiting/qualification tool.

I invite you to get one of those high caliber employment lawyers to post here, or to reach out, and I'll swap notes. But I don't think it's actually the case that high-powered employment lawyers believe that. That, or huge corporations with lots to lose are casually inviting employment lawsuits in order to run candidates through a test that doesn't predict anything.
In the original trilogy, we don’t see a Rebel fleet until Empire (only at the very end), and it’s mostly light gunships (apparently) but it’s got a lot of fighters flying around, and they must be servicing those and housing the pilots somewhere.

We don’t see the rebel fleet in action until Jedi, and it does seem to be carrier-heavy.

As for the independently-operating fighters: they have to land somewhere, the pilots can’t just live in them and they need to fuel, receive maintenance, and re-arm. That’s either planetary (or equivalent) bases, or carriers, much like pacific WWII air operations were a mix of island airstrips and carriers (lots, and lots, of carriers).

That’s all for the original trilogy. What we have in addition, however, is a limited look at the inter-trilogy insurgencies and nascent rebel alliance, in a variety of movies and TV shows (e.g. Rebels). Those do seem fairly heavy on carriers, from what we get to see, plus light gunships.
I find the Waking Up app the closest to this. Others like headspace feel heavily commercialised, with an aim of improving “productivity”. If anyone is looking for guided meditation, I suggest checking out waking up.
I think it makes sense as a continuation, as opposed to mere maintaining the doctrine. Independent fighters is on the same side of a spectrum between focus on fighters and battleships that fast carriers are. The fighter models themselves are related.
> I was rebutting the point from the article that you shouldn't ever have tech debt. You will, no matter what choices you make today.

I agree

> wow there are some incredible time and complexity costs to maintaining all dependencies yourself, or trying to firewall all dependencies through interfaces.

I'm not saying you should firewall everything. But if it make sense, you do so. You also need someones that understand each core deps enough they can patch it if the maintainers won't resolve an issue (happens more in the npm world). Even with React, you can extract the business logic and reuse it elsewhere. The goal is to avoid depending that much on projects that have less stability than yours (some bad experiences here with React Native). How you do it is contextual, but you should keep it in mind.
Going by your definition, max (x:xs) = max x (max xs) = max x (max (head xs) (tail xs)) = ... ad infinitum. The basic problem with that definition is that it only really defines max for non-empty lists, otherwise the pattern-matching against (x:xs) will throw an exception.

In mathematics maximum and minimum of a set are elements of said set. So the empty set has neither a maximum nor a minimum.

There is another pair of terms that obeys the rules you want max and min to obey: supremum and infimum: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum>. And indeed supremum of the empty set is -inf. And infimum of the empty set is +inf. That’s because supremum and infimum of a set don’t need to belong to said set. They only need to belong to the set of bounds (upper for supremum; lower for infimum) of said set.

Besides "career expectations" what else about 30 feels like a deadline? On the other days you feel like "an absolute fucking failure," failure with regards to what? (assumption and guesses: with regards to your timeline progress in building a family? getting married? owning a home? having kids? travelling? perhaps going back to school? is this all exclusively about how many zeroes you are getting in your paycheck?)

I don't know. I'm pretty well acquainted with the Chicagoland fiscal situation, which is real and ugly, and this "add $85k" thing seems like a just-so story. Can you show your work getting to that figure?
