They had no interest in respecting QoS tags before, I don't think a new tool will change that.

Apart for prioritizing traffic to Ookla speed test of course.

A counter argument if I may -

When I was CTO I built the MVP and coded at first. Then after adding engineers we started shifting the architecture to their designs (because it's important to allow people to be creative and own things, right?) and I started feeling like a sub-par engineer, not creating sophisticated code as they did.

Well, turns out they overcomplicated things, focused on complex problems rather than end-to-end feature delivery, and waisted a lot of time rebuilding things that wete better (albite simpler) in my MVP.

For me, the takeaway is - trust yourself. You know best.

It's not the same lesson for everyone, some people are too controlling, but it seems you and I are closer to the other end of the spectrum.

Sure, a tool for defenders... like Kali Linux is for security researchers..

Lol the Mac screen is so reflective they actually use it like a mirror :D

At this point Amazon is effectively dealExtreme or Wish.com .

So many sticker brands, ads and house brands..

The calendar sidebar in mailbox does not load, but opening the full calendar seems to work.

Interestingly, it asked me to fill a captca test. Could it be an attack?

This is so over my head I couldn't grasp it with a jetpack.

Problem is - it probably works. It gets a percentage of people to stay longer.

You can argue that those full screen "before you leave" popups are annoying, and who in their right mind will abuse users like that?

Then they'll show you the results of A/B testing, prooving 15% more users subscribed thanks to that banner.

We're screwing ourselves over statistics...

Must it be 2049? Can't we go with 2048?

Makes me uncomfortable. like this {

Is there an Index Fund for YC and their startups I can hedge?

The latest crop of note taking & productivity apps is really disappointing.

I got a similar system where I display an image full screen, with clickable locations based on mouse position.

Like Svija - not a real website.

I agree, but even among e-ink displays there are refresh rates that make it difficult to enter text or view terminal output.

Not a word on refresh rate.

I disagree.

The profit margin/markup cloud providers make increases the higher you climb the abstraction layer. 1GB of RAM is 10X more expensive in Lambda than in EC2, but costs AWS the same to provide.

Second - services offered are a key selling point and driver of competition between clouds. they all want more features.

Third - considering point 1 & 2, clouds prefer to offer their own versions of things. i.e AWS and the Elasticsearch fork.

Amazing. However - I did a test where I searched for "Python cast" and got variable type casting results.

I then wanted to refine the search to the cast of Monty Python, but had no relevant tags to do it with.

In google the 6th result on first page was Monty Python wikipedia page.

That's not true. A court will accept emails and documents attached to them. scanned, name typed, or signed with ms-paint - all valid.

What kind of company expects a Senior Engineer to have 20+ years expeerience?? you must work for some corporation or large company.

In startups and tech-focused companies seniority comes with skills, not years on the job.

Why does every layout, template and site-builder tool assumes all websites are a three-page thing, with big blocks of images and one or two products?

Do you actually visit such sites on a daily basis? Last time I did it was a page for a hip local barber shop.

How about a bit more complexity for the sake of realism?

Nice backdoor brag.. "ooo I'm so smart I'm socially inapt"..

Perhaps watch The Big Bang Theory a bit less? Think you have a bad role model there.

Nice, a few more plugins and you'll have a semi-vanilla Vim!

Honorable mention: an aerospike engine has been flown by Arca space.

Well, kind off.. it's a spike, but they're using water steam as propellent, I'm guessing to "solve" the cooling problem. So not sure if it counts (and how successful their rocket will be).

But still.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsKE_SBY-kE

Sleep with dogs, wake up with ticks.

Abandon Apple, develop PWA version of your web flow.

My work Macbook won't sleep with external monitor connected, and keepes forgetting which screen is main one.

Meanwhile, ubuntu 18 + Mate - everything works fine.

But what's Zulip going to do about global warming?

No idea who Zulip are, nor why should I care what they won't do.

"..a Facebook study attempted to ask users in countries with high audio use, but was only able to find a single Cambodian respondent."

Sell your stocks. that's a dead, bloated company.

A plane ticket and asking people on the street would probably cost less than their "study"..

Doesn't work. And I've had practical experience using low-code platforms, "selling" them and even built a couple myself.

First - there's no complete solution. notice how they all have a "custom code" feature for you to fill in what's missing using JS or proprietery language. And you need a developer for that. These platform only work so long as you stick exactly to the use-case they had in mind.

Second - Business/non-dev users don't have the skills nor the inclination to use these platforms. It may look simple, just drag'n'drop, connect the dots, But what if it fails? why did it fail? when will it fail? they don't have the experience and mindset to debug and account for edge cases, and they don't even want to learn how to do it! no matter how easy the no-code platform is.

These conclusions I payed for in blood, sweat and money.

Yey another note taking app! And YC no less!

Not at all like previous YC-backed note taking app https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26565629

Or any note taking app ever.. Seriously, is that the biggest thing bothering developers? Is this what you got into computing for? The best use for your AWS experience?

The digital equivalent of making an ashtray in pottery class.

Oh my god, all my managers were terrible people..

Oh my god, I'm a terrible person!!
