reifniron OneNDA – We've Standardised the NDA

That's how they get ya

reifniron Ask HN: What huge mistake did you make early in your career?

Not taking enough chances. I've been doing this for over 20 years and there's only a couple of jobs I've interviewed for that I didn't come with an offer. I thought that meant I was hot shit until a few years ago, I realized that I was really just aiming too low.

reifniron Dapr – Distributed Application Runtime

It is a sidecar which sits alongside your application. You can access it via http or grpc. They additionally provide multi-language sdks for it. Think database + sdks but for distributed systems.

Most importantly to me, it offers both REST and interface-based programming models allowing the consumer to decide how they want to operate with it.

reifniron AI Clones Your Voice After Listening for 5 Seconds (2018)

Unfortunately, the source isn't available. I was hoping I could generate my own narration of any book in the voice of anyone I could throw at the trainer. (Heck, even if it was just my own, anything is better than Scott Brick!)

reifniron Ask HN: Who Wants to Be Fired?

Stealing that!

reifniron Librem One – A growing bundle of ethical services

It looks as though the mail service won't support custom domains.

reifniron A coworker stole my spicy food, got sick, and is blaming me (2016)

There is value in discussing fiction as though it was true. A thought experiment never hurt anybody.

Man, these people should consider using a solution that's easy to horizontally scale (trolololo)

reifniron Banks are rolling out cryptocurrencies to move funds between them

Leveraging blockchain as a distributed ledger is hardly "rolling out cryptocurrencies".

reifniron Firefox’s speed with large numbers of tabs leaves Chrome in the dust

Hi, I'm Jim and I'm a tabaholic. It's been 3 months since I cleaned-up my tabs

reifniron Ask HN: 50 job applications, 15 interviews, 7 onsites, and no offer – what next?

Never thought of that... I have to go to the mountain about this!

reifniron The Age of Absurdity: Why Modern Life Makes It Hard to Be Happy (2010)

Same here. Meditations is fantastic, though for a more complete look into Stoicism, I can't recommend A Guide to the Good Life (The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy) by William B Irvine enough!

reifniron Research indicates that only about half of perceived friendships are mutual

This comment is a generalization

reifniron Only 2.7% of all adults had all 4 healthy lifestyle characteristics

If healthy is atypical and unexpected in a population, then it isn't normal. I'm pedantically suggesting that healthy is currently the abnormal condition (and one that clearly needs remediation).

reifniron Only 2.7% of all adults had all 4 healthy lifestyle characteristics

If less than 10% of people have "normal" body fat in the study, is it really normal? Perhaps that should have been identified as healthy body fat.

reifniron Emulating exceptions in C: a case study

Easiest way to emulate Exceptions: just use a GOTO statement. http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DontUseExceptionsForFlowControl http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2003/10/13.html
