Been working with my cofounder on a proptech play (https://gotopright.com), and we've gotten some feedback from industry experts that homeownership assistance programs could be a useful thing to expose to average borrowers.
It's pretty early but wanted to get everybody's feedback. It's live on our homepage so feel free to play around with it!
Hello everybody! I've scaled a data engineering team at my current company from just myself to 10 people over this past year. As part of that effort, I designed our internal technical interviewing loop for data engineers, and candidates who've tried it out have said it's both challenging and refreshing. I looked at interviewing solutions on the market when I looked at technical screens and didn't find anything targeting late hiring funnel that I liked, so I'm thinking there might be opportunity here for a side hustle. If you have preferences on your ideal hiring setup for data engineers, sign up and let me know!
This looks awesome, thanks for building this! I really like how it's hosted on serverless stuff and therefore we can use it for long-running personal projects and MVPs.
Are there material differences between wireless and wired Internet w.r.t. infrastructure? Is wired Internet easier to trace or something? I'm not too familiar with computer networks, but I thought that they would be the same.
I've used HTTP/2 SSE for TinyDev (docs.tinydevcrm.com) and I've encountered the need for a reverse proxy and the unidirectional dataflow to be kinda eh, even if it is great in theory. I haven't played around too much with WebSockets though, but IMHO money + traction carries a good deal of weight.
Thanks for sharing! You might have more experience than I do in this sector, I've mostly written tests for tools/projects I've owned for a number of years and that might be why it appears more self-documenting to me. I try to write tests that are relatively clean. By contrast I've also had to maintain Confluence wikis as documentation and I've found it much more difficult, same with versioned Markdown documents and the like. Auto-generated documentation might be a sweet spot, though I don't have experience on that front yet.
I think regexes may have a steep learning curve, but IMHO it's well-worth the effort in order to learn. Pythex is pretty great at learning regexes and once you learn them you have a pretty powerful tool at your disposal for a number of matters.
After months of really bad audio in teleconferencing calls, hearing crisp keyboard playback was a refreshing experience. Highly recommend to check out the demo!
But seriously, I have installed Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on my personal Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2, and work Dell Precision 5550, and it works fine in both cases. Stick with it for a month and macOS becomes old news. Also I think OEMs are wising up to "Linux = free" and charging for Windows on their laptops again, so you can also save some money on OS licensing going forwards.
Congratulations to the President-elect, and to the government workers and volunteers at all levels who tirelessly worked around the clock to ensure our elections were free and fair.
I think these next few weeks is a time for reflection, so that all of us can work hard to create the future we want. Wishing everyone well and to breathe in and out regularly, it's been a stressful year.
Funny little tidbit: my 1940s townhouse neighborhood has no universal front desk and hands out building keys to USPS for each townhouse. The mailbox is inside, and USPS is legally obligated to access it, so I know if USPS ships a package for me it's next to my apartment door.
UPS and FedEx do not have access. You have to be there when they drop off the package, or they're tossed into this hole (like a literal hole) next to the door, or they do the "we missed you" thing and sticky a note to the outer door and you pick it up in person.
I live a ten-minute drive away from the Pentagon. It's not just remote villages in Alaska that'd be inconvenienced by USPS going away.
Are they software contractors making a couple hundred an hour, or Lyft/Uber drivers making a $25 an hour? I think the problem some people see is many Lyft/Uber drivers don't have that wealth of choice.
I've heard you can use 151-proof grain alcohol in lieu of rubbing alcohol (which has disappeared entirely from store shelves for months) in order to sanitize things. Apparently if you mix it with vegetable glycerin you can create your own ersatz hand sanitizer?
I was thinking you could create your own rubbing alcohol by mixing water, sugar, and yeast, distill it over your stove, and then combine it with aloe vera to create hand sanitizer, but that's probably less preferable than using store-bought ingredients that are more consistent.
Not sure if you can answer this, but what are some classes of security bugs you can find with Pysa? I've only worked on smaller codebases so security I've dealt with is mostly AuthN/AuthZ.
Fun fact, in Ancient Rome people used olive oil as soap, and scraped off the excess using a...metal thing. Sometimes they put perfumed olive oil into their bathtubs. This is for richer folk, regular people used crude soaps.
Nice! Not sure if you're looking for feedback, but I had two interesting observations:
1. Ctrl + back arrow (to go back to previous webpage) doesn't work, I think there's a redirect loop to the primary index.html page (easy enough to go around)
2. Zoom in/out doesn't resize the selector, instead the window stays the same size while the text changes, and some part of the previous/next page are in focus (not a big deal).
