The mongoid repository ( https://github.com/mongodb/mongoid ) doesn't have issues turned on and instead points people to JIRA. That's one way to avoid users reporting issues like this - I'd see JIRA and &q

Ah the glory days, when most of the time all you needed was one interview.

A bit of a primer on the geography when speaking about it here: Central FL is the I-4 corridor and doesn't include the coasts. (Wikipedia includes Tampa but that's nonsense) Gulf Coast and East Coast are the references to use for

The issue lies more with the fact that most users will use what's shipped as default. You see that habit in every large framework out there. And that's why it's important to ship reliable, stable defaults.

lukeed has several extremely popular npm packages/libs which share a lot in common: - their twitter following is used to boost newly released packages - they were released as alternatives to existing packages/libs with the flash

This word play isn't worth the time or effort. Shall we try to apply the meaning of full stack based on my own entry into web development in 1998 when N-Tier development was all the rage? I think not.

Please cease with the petty tribal idealistic mud slinging.

You claimed that "Trumpists" in general, in totality, are only pro-Isreal because it's an "owning the libs" thing. You have zero metrics or sources to back that up. You cannot claim to know the mind of every person

How can you possibly suppose to quantify this statement?

Will you please stop lumping vast groups of people together as if they share a hive mind? That's like saying every Democrat on the planet lives their lives by the tenets of the 1619 project. It's ridiculous.

The emoji-commit-message spec absolutely drives me batty. Why. Just why.

Perhaps you're focusing solely on one aspect of the story. There's a lot more there than risk tolerance.

I spoke with a very adept founder this last fall, who was looking for a technical cofounder to evaluate and build out the platform for the company. It was a compelling idea with clear need, B2B, well-wireframed, well thought out, and she (t

I'm friends with four female founders who would absolutely laugh at this stereotypical response. Women are fully capable of having strong backbones, high confidence, and efficient bullshit filters. Founding a company takes grit, from A

Or don't agree to interviews that include algo challenges, leetcode/hackerrank nonsense, array shuffling shenanigans. Choose companies that put thought into their evaluations.

I believe that it's more possible than not that there are folks within YC that participate on HN without representing YC. As another user pointed out succinctly, there's value to this being an open discussion rather than a private

by andrew_ 5y ago
Take a beat. You're conflating HN with YC. While HN is hosted by YC (moderated and run in some respects by folks who are also YC staff) it is not equal to YC. HN is a forum/news site, and yes, commenters and topics trend towards t

Nuance is required here I think; with regard to working remotely - I've been working remotely now for 14 years. In my albeit limited experience (6 different employers, ~60 interviews) companies that were hiring remote before 2020 off

This would be valuable information to have on the post (e.g. "We pay regionally"). Personally, I avoid companies who adopt this practice.

by andrew_ 5y ago
This question was pointedly directed at the community, not HN moderators, employees, or officers. I do not feel it violates the guidelines.

Ask HN: Why doesn't YC list compensation for their own open positions?

I recently gained entry to an NBA game out of state (away from home and without access to any valid paperwork) by using devtools to edit the results page of a test I had last year, to make it valid for that day, and then printing the page.

Why couldn't the code run from a GitHub Action or within a Lambda be type checked and in version control? All of mine are. As for uptime, it completely depends on where you host your pg instance. But I'd wager you know that alread

I just spent two months unrolling an unruly pg_boss implementation and that experience has soured me on using postgres for pubsub, jobs, or messaging. For my money, Github Actions is fine for infrequent cron jobs, or hell even a tiny lambda

Appreciate the sentiment, but I moved on a long time ago to some tools that I feel better suit my needs. Nothing but love for the project and good on you for keeping it breathing.

I really enjoy Ava [1] or anything assert-tape-like [2]. "uvu" [3] is getting a lot of love lately, but it's very feature limited and much of it's touted advantages are at the detriment to feature set. [1] https:/&

Chai has unfortunately been left behind by its maintainers. My own personal attempts to contribute were met with silence and oddly-placed resistance (when I was able to get a response). It's been my opinion for a few years that Chai is
