Email is AVI at AVI dot IO
When I ride (and it doesn't happen a lot) in a street that has a row of parked cars, I take the full lane and I will never ever put myself in the range or a door. I know too many people that have been doored and crashed really hard.
People reversing (to me) basically go "Here I go, I don't care who's behind me".
I have a Garmin 520, I don't actively upload to Strava, it syncs beautifully.
When I start the ride, it sends a text and email to my wife with tracking information so she can see where I am. I also train during the commutes so I look at my power numbers all the time.
I absolutely love it when I see people with no computer on the bike, I am too weak to give it up
Pumping the tyres, water, computer charged, clothes ready, it's all friction that you don't want to deal with in the morning.
I always make sure it's on the least brightness for the occasion. Keeping it blinking during the day and constant during the night.
Doing the same route every day didn't work for me, that "automatic" riding is not appealing at all.
If I feel I need to "wash off" a hard day, there's nothing like a hard ride through the mountains to get you home calm and ready to spend time with your family
Being on the bike and riding is not friction for me, trying to find my riding clothes in the morning is :)
Friction is anything that will prevent you from going out, once you're out the longer and harder the better (for me).
Did you have it mapped this way on a previous computer?
They used to have a good community going, I streamed there for a little while but everyone seems to shift to Twitch/Youtube.
I used to stream and my audience was students, beginners, junior engineers etc...
I had a few senior engineers watching when I streamed more advanced Devops, React, Python etc.. But in general, that was the division.
There is a big gap in software education from the tutorial to the point of dealing with real world and real life problems, people are attracted to seeing how you would solve things that come up in real life and that's where they get most of the value.
Viewers often view this during work, so they have some white-noise type from the keyboard typing and voice.
The main point in streaming and watching streams in my mind is the sense of community, people ask A LOT of questions and get a ton of value from it (depends on the streamer)
Curating streams this way is very useful and looks good.
I think stealing a whole database raises very serious questions as to how technically this was done and how would you prevent this at your company.
Unfortunately "transparency first" aside, companies don't usually release this information which leaves us all wondering how we can better protect our users (outside of having sane defaults, closed by default, no ssh, private networks etc...).
It's never comfortable, but it's something that I think you deserve to get.
Just as a side note, I think a lot of people know why they were rejected. It's rare that people think the interview went great and they still did not get an offer.
Greg is building a product on top of Ruby/Rails. You might find this interesting.
So, if you add ~/projects to your CDPATH, you can do cd project1 from any directory on your computer and it will navigate to to the right place.
Cool project though, I like the idea.
My direct door-to-door commute is 19mi. Takes me about 50-55 minutes. None of it is on bike paths.
I take Foothill from the cupertino border all the way to menlo Park.
I can also go into cupertino and take the bike path to the edge of the 101 (close to the PA airport).
If you want to make it longer, you can take Stevens Canyon to Foothill. This makes the commute 30mi but also less traffic and much more challenging to ride.
I would say on average I commute to work about 3 days a week during the summer. I just don't like commuting back in the dark during the winter.
In terms of accidents, I've had none. I had 2 close calls over the course of 3 years. One was a complete jerk and one was due to the sun angle (something you need to be aware of as a cyclist too).
Bay Area is really awesome for riding to work. Foothill is busy but also gets a lot of rider traffic so drivers tend to be more patient.
I also find that a lot of it is up to you, some riders ride like the road belongs to them.
Every time, the "valuation" outweighs the salary ranges by 10 to 1.
The military, CIA should have a clear policy to disable all location services, on all devices at all times.
If you're not supposed to be somewhere and you go for a run on Strava, it's pretty much your fault.
At Globality[1], we use microcosm [2], an internally built framework for crafting applications. We have 45+ microservices, all built on top of it, and it's a joy.
I was looking for a framework that will give me similar benefits with Golang. Something that I can take out of the box with some convention-over-configuration.
I found micro [3] and gizmo [4]. (There are more)
It seems to me that a full-blown web app doesn't come very natural to Golang yet. There isn't a framework that will give you what you are used for from other languages/frameworks.
I have a lot of experience with Golang and built many tools, and it always felt more natural to me when there is no database/models involved.

This is a classic service company, but the service it provides can be quantified and measured in a great way
