Me too! I'm a big fan of Rob Robinette's guitar amp page [1] for similar reasons

I think a lot of the larger form-factor/larger capacity models are still shuckable, though sometimes you still have to put kapton tape on one of the pins to allow it to work with a normal machine.

No, I don't think you'd see much benefit if you're already within a healthy BMI range. Generally, drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy are going to make you feel less hungry and, when you do eat, make you feel full faster. If you struggle maintaining a healthy weight without torturing yourself, or reducing cravings for food/binge eating, it can be great.

Note: I'm not a doctor, just someone who has been prescribed a similar medication.

Stealth Health Startup | Senior Fullstack Engineer (Typescript) | San Francisco, CA (US) | Hybrid on-site schedule (3 days onsite, 2 days remote) | Full-time

We're a seed-stage health tech company with a mission to make the highest quality healthcare accessible to everyone. Starting with chronic health conditions we're building a service that allows patients to manage their holistic care including consulting with multi-disciplinary providers, managing medications, and engaging with a community of patients in similar situations. Based on the past success of our founder as well as our traction, we've attracted a massive seed round ($40m+) from a number of major VC firms to help ensure that we have the time and space to build the right team, company and product for our patients. We're currently operating in stealth mode but have already seen very rapid growth over the past 6 months ($Xm in run rate growing at 20-30% month over month). The team is small (4 engineers + 10 or so ops, biz, clinical team members) but we're looking to bring on another 10 senior engineers by the end of the year to help build the foundational platform for our business.

We build our software using Typescript on the backend and frontend, and utilize technologies like Next.JS, and React on the frontend, and NestJS, Node.js, and Postgresql on the backend. We're currently looking for engineers who feel comfortable working full-stack, but our needs skew more to the backend at the moment. We have an office located in downtown San Francisco a couple of minutes walking distance from Embarcadero Station and we work a hybrid schedule with 3 days in-office and 2 days WFH every week.

If you're interested in having more ownership and responsibility over your systems, and working in a fast-paced, challenging and rewarding environment, please email me at ornellasmike@protonmail.com to chat more about the opportunity.

What makes bitcoin different other than it being older than the rest of the pack?

My experience is only anecdotal, but I think most city centers I've spent much time in (Austin, Houston, Tokyo) haven't had many families around during the work week either. If you go to fisherman's wharf, you'll find it crawling with families (undeniably mostly tourists), and most weekends you'll find Union Square swarmed as well.

That really depends on which part of the city you’re in, my neighborhood is a sea of strollers!

I feel like this does a disservice to a prospective React developer in that, the hard part isn't finding what all the options are for each of these areas, its finding the one to start with. I'd love to see an _opinionated_ roadmap that tells you what to learn and in what order, and then informs you of other options at your disposal.

Congratulations! The two of you easily became two of my biggest role models after I was introduced to web development; its been a pleasure to follow your general trajectories. Thanks for showing us what is possible when you're willing to actually do something!

I haven't dropped Dropbox because I was unaware of the appointment of Condoleezza Rice prior to this poll. I've been considering dropping it for awhile for general privacy reasons, but this might be what pushes me over the edge.

My friends, coworkers and I use it constantly (nearly daily) for the same stuff we used to use Venmo for: splitting tabs/cabs/etc. It's just a little more convenient in that a new user can be set up without having to download an app (always annoying when cell coverage is spotty) and there is no separate balance to keep track of other than your normal bank balance. I do find it a little too simple to initiate a transfer, but you can add a restriction that forces you to input your debit card's CVC code to actually initiate a transfer.

In my experience (I'm an instructor at one of these schools), the vast majority of incoming students already have a 4-year degree in a different area. I think for many people who may already be at a point in their life where they are paying off student loan debt, starting a family, etc., going without a significant income for another 2- or 4-years would be completely out of the question whereas a 3-month program is something they may be able to weather.

I don't think he was saying he couldn't pay because he couldn't afford to pay, I think he was saying he couldn't pay because he doesn't have the option of paying with the economic sanctions against Iran.

A couple more:

* ⌘ + ` (tilde key) to switch between different windows of your current application

* ⌘ + l (lowercase L) in most web browsers to highlight the address bar

I actually used unirest.rb as one of the tools to teach my students about HTTP requests. I loved the clear syntax and found the experience a lot more straight-forward than many of the other HTTP libraries I came across. Thanks for putting this together!

Wow, I'm still a relative newcomer, but I constantly pull up the CSS and JS for any site that seems interesting. Considering how easy Chrome devtools makes it to play around with sites, I figured most enthusiasts/professionals were doing the same thing.

UMich is not really emblematic of mid-level schools. While rankings don't mean a lot, UMich is still ranked #13 by US News & World Reports for graduate-level economics and thus would be either one of the lower top-tier schools or near the top of the mid-tier. It would probably be easier to get a good job from UMich than the vast majority of other mid-tier schools.

Why wouldn’t the millions of unemployed Americans train themselves to code?

I'd say this is exactly what my friends and I have done. We had been nerds growing up but the majority of us went into liberal arts majors in college. After graduating and finding out that our slips of paper were meaningless, a few of us taught ourselves how to program and a few of us built upon college IT jobs to go into system administration.

When we were younger, I think we generally had some pretty bad misconceptions about the software development as a whole, especially regarding relative difficulty compared to other careers. While the money and job security were the things that drove (most of) us in that direction originally, we've all become completely obsessed with a tech world that we generally misunderstood when we were younger. I've spent a lot of time trying to convince other out-of-work nerds to do what we did but I think most either don't believe you can get work without a CS degree (by assuming that we just got lucky) or think that it is well beyond their mental capacities. I'm not surprised a lot of unemployed americans are scared of trying something intimidating, but I think you'll see more and more young un(der)employed americans start learning code, especially as the learning resources become more and more available and more and more accessible.

My experience is nearly opposite. The last time I bought a CD was over 10 years ago, I attend concerts and music festivals often (1-2x monthly) and consider these experiences much more worth the price than buying albums I could easily listen to on Spotify for a fraction of the cost. I have wide and varied music tastes though and the cost of purchasing all the albums that have songs that I regularly listen to would be prohibitively expensive, even compared to going to concerts that regularly cost $50.

As others have said, I could probably answer many of these depending on your definition. I typically consult multiple reference books daily. I'm usually reading some piece of fiction at any point though sometimes this means powering through something in a weekend and sometimes this means reading a book over the course of 6 months.

A lot of this criticism is also assuming everyone is using their own computers. At a couple of places I've worked, we could store our files on a network drive but we got a fresh instance of Windows each time. Mailto links would bring up the Outlook Express setup wizard, which was pointless to go through considering it would simply be wiped again when you logged out.

On top of that, I know my mom, still fearful of Firefox, let alone Chrome, has a similar problem with mailto links and it is always quite excruciating watching her process for extracting just the email link itself without the mailto: attached to the front. Depending on who this is marketed to, I think some businesses could easily increase conversions by going this route.

When I was living in Tokyo, I used to go eat at a mexican restaurant in Yotsuya where a fellow Houston-ite was the chef. She'd always give me a couple of free cervezas and maybe a discount. I'm white and she is mexican, but since she knew we were both from Houston she gave me a discount. I accepted it and never thought anything of it, and before I read your post, I would have been surprised if anyone would have.

I clicked and just assumed it was the Ruby server, I've even seen that logo used in conjunction with Unicorn before. Did they just not google the name at all before diving in?

On the other hand, when my own personal problems seem immense, sometimes it can give me a lot of perspective to see the problems the world as a whole has to face. Surely in doses too large or too often, it can be a major detriment to my ability to work (especially when there is a news "crisis" going on, real or imagined). However, I'd say overall the net effect of regularly ingesting the news has been to make me feel closer to my fellow human beings than before I read the news often and had only the things and people in my immediate surroundings to ponder about.

My last chopsticks prototype was a "ultra-lightweight" tone-arm for an old turntable back in college, haha. I think it yielded significantly less useful results than this. Good ingenuity!

I can honestly say TI calculator programming was my first foray into programming as well (I'm 25 now). I remember meticulously typing in a BASIC clone of Pac-man and having it not work the first few times I typed it in (I think it would take me nearly an hour each try). I didn't really program much after I stopped using TI calculators a lot until someone showed me tryruby.org and I found it interesting. Now, two years later, I work full-time as a programmer and have decided this will be my career. Funny how those little side diversions when you were but a kid can come back in a big way.

We just switched to Grande from TWC for our home internet and couldn't be happier for the service they provide at a fraction of the cost of our previous, slower TWC plan. That said, I think it will be hard to stay on Grande if Google Fiber really gets rolled out here.

I don't know about you, but my iPhone 4 was feeling pretty sluggish doing normal everyday stuff in iOS by the time I upgraded to the 5. That said, I have used a friend's 4s and it was also quite a bit more fluid than the 4. Between that and LTE, I think there was quite a bit of value though I could see why people probably wanted more than just a performance boost and a slight physical upgrade.
