This is where Meetups.com fits in. But this area has kind of migrated away from the traditional discussions (which now happen on places like here, Reddit, Slack). There's usually too many recruiters, managers, vendors and sales people

I agree. Minify once it's released and you can test it quickly once to make sure there's no reference screw-ups, but as part of your development process - don't touch that file. I'd say most web developers follow this pr

BackBlaze is very similar to AWS and similar services - it's not made for the consumer. You need to read and understand their entire stack, process and features available. If there's a single limitation that won't fit the bil

CWA takes 0.5% as a base. I very much doubt your local chapter took the remaining 19.5% for themselves.

In my experience this is false and also depends on the market and your specialty. (Sorry, I don't have data - but it is my experience when looking at freelance roles in the US or when talking to my North American counterparts.) For exa

If I was a fully funded academic, I'd agree with you. But the reality is I trade my time for money - to maximize the latter, appearing as a "leader" in my field requires I give talks to both technical and business tracks. The

My parents went through the same thing with me. Turns out I just really, really like computers and I get really, really anxious around new people. That time of your life when everything is awkward and you're full of hormones certainly

It does depend on your body composition. The largest energy drain on a person stagnant in water is their body working to keep them warm, and then breathing (lungs have to expand, muscles have to contract, water has to be displaced). Lying f

This is part of the problem with hiring in InfoSec. I was turned down years ago for a role as a junior because I didn't know enough about some very specific, foundational technology. I joined a consultancy and within a year I was speak

You still need to separate the wheat from the chaff. Compare yourself to your old colleagues, do they make a lot more than you? Are you more effective than them? What about the reverse? There are plenty diamond in the rough engineers. By na

Take a look at where great companies hire outside of the US. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Estonia, New Zealand - all not very well "known" as offshore, but great because there's plenty of people working at local companies that y

There's many roles, on average I'd say on average in the US, InfoSec pays higher than Software Engineering roles - however worldwide I'd say there's many more engineering roles, and much more roles that pay higher sala

Both of those are already happening in health insurance. Not a "gene" that causes "crime", but you're higher risk under certain conditions depending on genes and ethnicity. Is it fair? No. Will legislation be put in

It's so they're not caught out by laws pertaining to "USD-backed securities" enforced by the nice people at the SEC. This doesn't excuse them from previous transactions they've already made.. Which means likely

That was just an example, it may be larger - it may be smaller depending on the amount you hold. I assume it'd be less than current fees you pay to hold accounts, make transactions, margins paid in FX. I'm thinking aloud, and I to

Aren't we already seeing this in developing countries? Zimbabwe for instance has a great peer-to-peer lending platform. Currently backed by a bank, but what if the currency was simply tokens pegged to fiat such as USD by another compan

I think it decentralizes account fees, lending, term deposits, funds, everything. It turns the traditional banking model on its head because anyone can "become a bank" and handle the traditional "keep your money safe" mo

Recruitment is too widespread for introductions. I'd wager most of us on HN get at least 1 message a week, with many getting 2-3 per day. We're interested in the roles, not the recruiter. It's up to us to judge whether the re

It's a currency trading platform - like all businesses created for the sole purposes of making money, but that's certainly a more prominent mission in this type of company. It's about money, and it's purpose is to help m

Unfortunately no. In AU, you pay capital gains on every single transaction you make - AUD to BTC, BTC to LTC, LTC to anything else. This makes trading regularly on places like Binance incredibly unattractive. There are discounts for holding

Check out PlantUML - there's a nice demo here: https://www.planttext.com/ Plenty of editors support it, both console (vim/emacs) and GUI-based (VSCode, Sublime).

This has been done for the past 30 years. Grouped and explicit permissions is a thing. Not sure why this would be any different in an integrated environment. You just need the glue.

I wish they'd merge with Slack. There's been virtually no improvements to HipChat in more than 3 years now aside from some tagged on, half-usable features.

That's possibly one of their strangest edge-cases I've seen for someone to dismiss a product. Or is this a case of HN-level trolling?

It appears they've removed the "Import" button, or hidden it away somewhere. In the meantime, if you're looking to make the switch and can't find it - it looks like you can drag and drop from Chrome bookmarks one at

Honestly? I can't do it when living on my own. I've taken the ready-to-eat meal route (whether that be a ready-to-drink food smoothie or plain/raw stuff (nuts, fruit, etc). I love cooking. But never for myself, and 90% of my

Leading is a stretch, I've seen way more Mattermost and Rocket.Chat installations these past few months. Mattermost is OSish, but Rocket.Chat seems to be a much more modern/UX friendly version compared to Zulip and fits the bill w
