Willson50··on How we interview engineers at CircleCI
CricleCI has 100-250 Employees, which at 1000 applicants per 3 employees means over 30,000 interviewed applicant? Seems high.
Willson50··on Show HN: LambdaPHP – Host any PHP website on AWS Lambda instantly
I found this JWT implementation which claims to replace $_SESSION https://github.com/byjg/jwt-session

Yea JWT maxes out around 8KB vs DynamoDB's 400KB

Also, the CloudFront storage problem exists with many other serverless frameworks like Zappa so I don't blame you for not solving it yet haha.

Willson50··on Show HN: LambdaPHP – Host any PHP website on AWS Lambda instantly
Great work! A couple things I'd like before I would use this:

- Cloudfront support for static assets

- JSON Web Tokens might be cheaper and faster for session storage. Using DynamoDB for user sessions severely limits the number of page loads per second without paying more for DynamoDB throughput.

Willson50··on Apache OpenWhisk – A serverless, open-source cloud platform
I don't know about rails, but there's a good Flask -> Lambda project called Zappa https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa
Willson50··on Zstandard – Real-time data compression algorithm
A non-obvious drawback of this is you give up multi-threaded compression (maybe fixed in a later release). You also need to use the same memory size when decompressing.

Willson50··on Vision Kit – An image recognition device that can see and identify objects

Willson50··on Show HN: Cockpit – create tmux panes and windows with ease
After reading that, the Tmux integration for iterm2 (tmux -CC) seems to work a lot better. Thanks!
Willson50··on Show HN: Cockpit – create tmux panes and windows with ease
What I want is iTerm2 hotkeys for tmux so I don't have to remember both.
Willson50··on Strategies for offline PGP key storage
It is a variable setting for each code. Here's a damaged but readable QR code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#/media/File:QR_Code_Da...
Willson50··on What I would do if I was 18 now
It's easy everyone, just be successful.
Willson50··on Underestimating the power of Jeff Bezos
I don't think it will take that much to break the amazon subscription model. Netflix is doing fine, Spotify is doing fine, and I'm sure other niche subscription services will continue to be made.
Willson50··on Trello Desktop for Mac and Windows: Get More Done Without Distractions
Definitely some sort of electron app. Certain things are broken like trying to use your webcam to take a profile photo because it doesn't know how to ask for browser permissions.

I really hope this trend stops soon.
