Inviz··on I applied to 250 jobs and timed how long each one took
I always tell my friends that i apply to 100 jobs, go through interviews with 15 companies, get 5 offers. In my experience as a generalist it's possible to find _something_ interesting about the position once you get an interview, there's no reason to pre-filter self to a very specific tech stack. As long as they pay!
Inviz··on Eye comfort a priority for all-in-one desktop PC with color E Ink display
Why is vertical monitor a scam? i'm reading this now on 27inch apple studio oriented vertically. It's really good as code editor screen
Inviz··on Index of Aesthetics
I saw some other channels and videos about aesthetics, but couldnt find any that were as compelling. I'd love to know that myself.
Inviz··on Index of Aesthetics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMeoeGGEimE Great video on the topic
Inviz··on Bun v0.7.0
gives some strong early node.js vibes with all the precious and quirky naming schemes
Inviz··on How We Made MuseScore 4 [video]
It's a really good video like the others from the author. It's a poignant journey into UX design. And then the Jank Man is a great mascot for all the conflicting descisions we have to take for a large software to take shape.
Inviz··on Is Design Dead? (2004)
It is true, the art of building complex products is to avoid shutting any doors by choosing short cuts or acquiring tech debt that can't be paid. If there are features that can't be implemented because of limitations, it's probably already too late.
Inviz··on Should you use Jest as a testing library? (2022)
I did have some success with it. I used their generic config way to hook up fro block writing/erasing and implemented those parts in the os i was writing. However one thing I was not a fan of is that its IO is synchronous, so you have to use some sort of coroutines/multitasking unless you're ok with blocking
Inviz··on The controller pattern is awful, and other OO heresy (2013)
Is there something like that in gcc?
Inviz··on Should you use Jest as a testing library? (2022)
It's fully api compatible pre-fiber. in fact it has more apis in some regards.
Inviz··on WWDC 2023 Livestream
Would it be possible to run new macpro in an energy saving mode if you dont need all the power, i wonder?
Inviz··on Ask HN: Who got hired from HN?
I landed 3 jobs from here starting from 2014
Inviz··on Mastering CSS blend modes
How to use blend modes to create text that is always visible over the picture, dark or light? e.g. negates the background color or something.
Inviz··on Why split lexing and parsing into two separate phases?
I saw source of pascal parser which was crazy beautiful and simple, and couldnt find it since. Does anybody know something like that?
Inviz··on I made my blog solar-powered, then things escalated
48v 100ah LifePO4 is under 1000$ in China
Inviz··on Post-GPT Computing
this is my thinking too. Who's going to learn coding if all basic needs are served buy the chatbot? What would be the incentive to put in the work?
Inviz··on Microsoft to support Windows 11 on M1 and M2 Macs through Parallels partnership
8gb memory limitation in parallels is crippling it
Inviz··on The Market for Lemons
I personally like the article and I respect author deeply, as he's one of the people who did a lot for the web. Many developers have been raised on his articles and materials.

However I agree these alternative frameworks section took me out of the piece, because these do not really solve most of the issues. They _just_ maybe get around by not having a virtual dom. But many of them still do a lot of css-in-js, still need rendering on the server (but lack the tooling), and do not solve the dataflow. I definitely have aversion towards new syntaxes of html as well (in parts because i built similar framework myself 10 years ago and it's really gnarly down the line)

Inviz··on OOP in C
generic base type struct
Inviz··on Easy, alternative soft deletion: `deleted_record_insert`
It can be the other way around, that the table has prefix/suffix, and the view doesnt. Alternatively view can be created with the same name, but in a different schema, which is set with higher priority for the user (e.g. via search_path in PG)
Inviz··on PRQL: a simple, powerful, pipelined SQL replacement
I wish this was more programmatic and less stringy. Intermediate layer of string queries feels redundant. But I understand it makes clear separation of layers and concerns
Inviz··on Ask HN: How to Deal with Rejections?
I am doing remote work and out of 80 applications I get 10 interviews and 2 offers. I just set my expectations to these numbers. I always try to do my best but never expect it to work out. No regrets
Inviz··on Sperm counts worldwide are plummeting faster than we thought
Well, there's not much to do in a sense of a one weird trick. No easy way out here. Mine was 290/190 at the age of 33. Not zero, but a lot of people are alarmed way before reaching that low
Inviz··on Sperm counts worldwide are plummeting faster than we thought
That's what I gathered. The report had a set of different potential abnormalities , by intersecting them all the number gets kind of low. Here's a photo of the report if you're curious https://imgur.com/a/LtG2KVb
Inviz··on Sperm counts worldwide are plummeting faster than we thought
Healthy lifestyle and excercise... but I also got an injection prescribed by the doctor as mine was very low (below healthy range both regular and free test). She said that I may have more will for physical excercise after that, so it may help me to get to a point when I can maintain proper levels myself.
Inviz··on Sperm counts worldwide are plummeting faster than we thought
I had a test recently and I have 0% "normal" sperms, when 4%-14% is the normal range. Pretty radical. The doctor said to take vitamins, to get testosterone to normal level, and to excercise. In other words not much to do
Inviz··on Charts.css: CSS data visualization framework
This is a pretty smart implementation. Actually css charts, with accessible data. pretty cool
Inviz··on Ask HN: What's the best source code you've read?
