I think, this should be considered as an easy to use library to do things that is anyway being done already, or anyone can do with some amount of work. Comparing this library to surveillance tool kind of distorts the idea of what this library is trying to achieve here.

Now is not a bad time to rage quit Facebook either.

Tiny beautiful things by cheryl strayed.

Fascinating book and must read particularly if you are feeling little down in life. I was initially skeptical of the genre, but one of the great books I have read.

> In this conclusion to our 4 part series, you'll learn how to used Gatsby.js and TakeShape to make your JAMstack site sweeter.

There is a grammatical typo in the opening headline which should read 'how to use Gatsby.js ...'.

This service looks promising, but it is unfortunate that we have to go as barebones as 'no javscript' to convince people that they are not doing any malicious tracking. Javascript is becoming inevitable and some service/company that helps us trust a site's javascript will be most welcome in the future.

Can someone correct the title with 'George Hotz'? Right now, the spelling is wrong and kind of misleading.

You should replace `Ctrl + >` to 'Cmd + >' for Mac browsers. It looks cool overall.

Henry in one of his interviews/podcasts mentioned that Facebook was not ready to employ him full-time to work on babel. Do you know anything about the reasoning about that decision?

Maybe, for ETs, our site might be like - "There is some life form out there trying to use JS but not using it enough. They are using some biteless/boring chaining stuff called promises and there are no beautiful pyramid of dooms ..... ". We may never know.

Tangential and shameless plug: I created my own offline app[1] for a very simplistic tracking of my sleep habits. It helped me to be more disciplined in getting the right amount of sleep (atleast for most of the days). Any feedbacks on this is appreciated.

The project should consider https/ssl for the website.

If robots can mimic human conversations, this should also be trivial. This not only looks like a lame excuse, but also massively underestimates the ability of automatons that mimic humans.

I used to constantly refresh indiehackers in its early days just to see if there was a new interview. At that point, the website was straightforward; you have just stories of people who have built something and you get to know how they did that. They just lay it out in the open and you take whatever you seem fit.

Now, the site homepage just looks like a mashup of all the 'start scratching your own itch' books giving 'agile/practical' ideas.

I wish the homepage focussed on what the site was originally about (like it used to be) - stories on how people actually built a small(profitable) tech business. It should be left to the visitors to find their way to move to more subjective realms like forums, posts discussing 'practical business ideas' etc

Not sure how upvoting will make search better. Most of the search happens in a specific context, where users are just desperate to go to the desired result and not come back and vote on stuffs if it is relevant. Plus, even if it is done there is no way to know if the page is still relevant since the upvoting.

At the minimum, the verbosity problem. We can argue that any language is less verbose and more concise than Java.

Go is inherently not a OO language and has some excellent functional constructs which makes it easy to approach and solve certain set of problems whereas in Java you are forced to do the OO way even if the problem at hand does not require that way of solving stuffs.

Finally, Go compiles to machine code and I guess it should be way faster than Java.

Vue comes with computed property out of the box. That is something I miss in react where I have to write small helper functions to compute stuffs from the state.

Thanks for checking out. 'Run at startup' is needed to schedule sleep reminder notification and to restore notification when the phone is rebooted. I'm not entirely sure on why the other two permissions are being asked. This project is bootstrapped with React native, and may be it is default from that platform. I will check on this.

Hi,

Creator of Sleep Easy here. I created this app for my own purpose and it has really worked well for me so far. Just thought of sharing it in case if it is useful for others. Feed backs are highly appreciated.

> Instead of relying on a centralized cache, DNS resolver, 1.1.1.1, uses an innovative distributed cache, which we will talk about in a later blog[1]

You need to wait for the official blog post from cloud flare to get precise details on the implementation.

> You do know there are a lot of "accomplished" people according to their own CV who can't actually code their way out of a paper bag, right?

Are you saying, the recruiters are just treating everyone (accomplished/non-accomplished who happened to have a great CV) the same? I think your point just supports the view instead of refuting it.

The dot in the revenue needs to be removed. Looks like 170$ and misleading.

I have a small open source react component library for showing speedometer like gauge - https://github.com/palerdot/react-d3-speedometer

I created it because I had a need for such a component, and there was almost no such component available. The only one that was available had no documentation.

After I created, I primarily posted in reddit, HackerNews and few react specific websites. Now, I get some organic traffic from search engines and some steady stream of downloads. Among the websites I posted, reddit was the single source of major traffic with some react newsletters/websites coming second.

Personally, I created this component for myself. But after releasing I made couple of major and minor changes based on the use cases for some real time users. That is gratifying for me.

Hi. Interesting product. Couple of stuffs when looking around your site.

First, there is a typo for the word 'experience' in this page - https://www.cashfree.com/en/careers-pe.

Secondly, you have not mentioned any tech stack in your job listings. It is interesting, but just curious if there is any reason behind that, as tech stacks are important deciding factors in choosing a job.

Third, the docs page looks pretty empty on the right hand side where it links to the language specific documentation(http://docs.gocashfree.com/docs/v1/?java#get-link). I'm not sure if it is a feature or a bug.

When they have no clue on what they are conveying about them to the people, these kind of clueless incidents do happen.

Ideally this should be the flow in having a job conversation. This will clearly lead to better fit for both the employer and the employee. Unfortunately, most of the real world jobs ask for some kind of number as experience, even though they know that the number does not directly translate into anything meaningful.

Tooling and build process is still a problem for trying out react in personal small/micro projects. I miss the days when I just drop in jquery.min.js and boom! We can hack something to our heart's content.

> Edit your CV to emphasise the skills and experience that makes you a good match

Do you opt for a one page resume/CV or a more longer version for your job search? Just curious because I always find it difficult to pack more subjective/general info on a one page resume.

That is hilarious. Did you inform the company on why you were not joining?
