For sure. There are some great, valid points in it as well.

Most of the guidance is very outdated. It's likely to confuse more than clarify unless you've taken the time to study modern resources. I prefer Bryan Garner's work, like his usage guides.

There is a great episode of Lexicon Valley where the dustier advice from The Elements of Style is called out: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/against-strunk-white/i...

According to the Show HN guidelines[0], this is for things that are ready to be used, not coming soon / other sign-up only pages or blog posts:

If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then.

Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

This podcast episode is a good introduction to the ideas directly relating to stoicism and news: https://soundcloud.com/goodfortunecast/episode-6 - it's on iTunes as well.

Sure, coffee roaster here. It's false that allowing beans to degas c02 preserves them indefinitely as the parent comment seems to imply. There is however about a 10-hour window after roasting where degassing of c02 is so vigorous it impedes oxidation. Freezing vacuum sealed coffee, both green and roasted beans, will preserve it almost perfectly for years because freezing decreases oxidation rates by more than 90% and slows the movement of volatiles.[0] Enough people have documented and tested this and it's very common for Cup of Excellence winning and other notable coffees to be stored for extended periods of time this way. There are even cafes with reserves of such coffee, you can walk in and they'll pull winners from years ago for you to try. Scott Rao documents the research and resulting evidence of why it's beneficial to freeze coffee in his book The Coffee Roaster's Companion.[1] It's just not economical at scale, or necessary. Green coffee is "fresh" for about 9 months on average, most roasters go through specific lots of coffee well before that window closes. The sad reality is that most roasted coffee is well past its peak by the time it reaches the consumer.

You can conduct an at-home experiment yourself by finding a local roaster, asking when their roast days are and if you can get some coffee from that batch before it's allowed to rest. Seal and freeze a portion while keeping the rest in a normal valve-release bag and compare after a week or two.

On https://www.stackpair.com I'm using Go, Rails, Redis, Memcached, Minio, Sidekiq, Postgres, and Kubernetes on GKE.

The iOS app is Cordova: https://www.stackpair.com/apps/ios

For storage and backups I use Hubic and Rclone. Hubic is the best deal I've been able to find for LTS: 10TB for €5/m.

I built https://www.stackpair.com because I was over reading job listings to get an idea of what I'd be working with. It puts as much info as possible up front about the languages, stack, and tools used in the position. The search makes finding relevant positions easy, the query "go remote sf" returns what you'd expect, for instance. I also do a lot to feature quality opportunities, which traditional job boards can struggle with.

I'm not seeing your email in your profile. Adding it to your "about" section should make it public.

For what it's worth, the site aside from the trends page is mobile friendly. The trends pages are something I thought would be cool to throw together with the data I have on the topic and admittedly haven't spent enough time trying to make sure it works everywhere.

edit: should be fixed now

Thanks, I'll work on that. I posted a comment outlining some notable things from it, hope that helps for now.

edit: should be fixed now

Some fluctuations I noticed when comparing the trends from last month and now:

- Go took a dip in demand, down from the 6th most mentioned language in listings to 8th.

When looking at trends from all 2017 reports:

- The top languages steadily in demand this year have been: Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, SQL, CSS, HTML, Go, C, and C++

- The top four application frameworks have fairly steadily been: Rails, Spring, Flask, and Django

- React is the top choice when it comes to UI libraries/frameworks. Angular doesn't seem to be gaining on it, and mentions of jQuery have been steadily declining.

- The top three databases/stores have steadily been PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis

I started https://www.latitude.work with the goal of featuring quality opportunities for other software engineers in a way that puts the information up front that's important to us. I stayed away from only having paid listings since that seems like a race to the bottom and am focusing on having a great experience for engineers. Would love any feedback on it.

Being an extrovert or an introvert has nothing to do with shyness. You can certainly be introverted and not very shy. Bill Gates is a great example of that.

Nice, thank you.

Thank you for clarifying. I thought for a second it could have been a grammatical nitpick but discounted that since this thread is re: an Antirez post. I personally would be very sad if his writing style became more forced and began to feel like excerpts from The Elements of Style.

He mentioned using cloc to get that metric, so not including comments, formatting, etc.

Authentic Jobs is one of the more old school places that heavily catered to web design type work. A more accurate assessment of this data may be that web design work is drying up, but we've known that for a while. It's hard to say since they don't mention the competitors they are tracking, but they may serve the same shrinking market as well.

Hey, looking for some early feedback on this. I feel like most job boards and sites have pretty underwhelming opportunities listed, so I thought I’d try a different approach. The idea started when I made a crawler that monitors a large list of companies for active available opportunities. Right now it's pulling from a few sources, then I'm filtering out the ones that either don't seem interesting or like a good fit for advanced engineers. Anything live on the site is an actively available opportunity, and it automatically removes any that become unavailable.

Voting is private to your account, so it is basically a way to tag listings you like or don't like at this point. Votes do not affect listing rankings. The plan is to provide more advanced matching and suggestions based off your votes on tags, listings, companies etc.

If this seems useful to others my plan is to develop the crawler further so that it monitors and pulls in more opportunities, among other things. I was pretty excited that right away it found some better options than I was seeing listed elsewhere.

What do you think?

No worries at all, just wanted to clarify since we are basically saying the same thing.

You put a period in that sentence where there wasn't one. I said "darker roasts are easy to achieve consistency with", and as you said, to help better facilitate the commodity approach to coffee.

Dark roasts are not more shelf stable than lighter roasts though. The oils in dark roasts become rancid substantially more quickly because a darker roast has expanded more, and therefore has more surface area to come in contact with air. Starbucks and other big companies say their coffee is shelf stable for about a year, but the reality is coffee peaks 24-72 hours after roasting. Burnt notes grossly outweigh staleness though. That with the benefits of consistency is great for bigger brands exactly for the other reasons you mention.

To add a bit more perspective, green unroasted coffee beans are considered fresh or in season for about 9 months. The more you get away from this in a roast profile the shorter the shelf life.

We know they've been doing it since the 1600s. As far as written history goes, Kyoto is the furthest back we can trace this brew method.

Because we know the Japanese have been doing this since the 1600s. Kyoto is credited with the earliest recorded history of this brewing method.

That was a good article. The only other cause of caffeine variation I'm aware of is altitude. Caffeine is produced as a defense against pests, and since there are fewer pests at higher altitudes less caffeine is generated in that scenario. Coincidently, altitude is usually associated with higher quality coffee. The difference is negligible, so I guess my point is if high caffeine consumption is a goal just drink more coffee.

You're welcome. I was under the same impression myself until recently. If you really need a kick though, pick up some Robusta. It tastes pretty rough but has more caffeine than Arabica.

This is a myth. Roasting does not alter caffeine levels, as it is very heat stable. You might get more caffeine from a light roast if you are measuring your beans by volume. Light roasts expand less and are more dense than darker roasts, so you ultimately end up with more mass.
