I highly recommend looking into Treesitter for anyone who wants to improve syntax highlighting. I know its supported today natively in neovim. Not sure about regular vim or other editors/ides. But its a massive improvement on the other

You can change what happens when a user hits CMD-w. But CMD-w should still be the trigger. Everyone expects a very specific thing, make the current thing go away. Its the same reason you likely picked CMD-k as the shortcut to your pop up wi

Yes. There's open source software I love and use daily. Currently for me its neovim. What the maintainers and contributors have done is exceptional. They've breathed new life into vim (through neovim) and pushed forward broader (n

I had a fun conversation with my brother the other day. He was working on an R script (given to him by his lab) to perform some data collection. The script was no longer usable and he had to rewrite some parts. He was annoyed. Most of the t

Of course you should care about the language the tool was written in. As another example, 1Password is redoing their mac app in electron. Many are upset about this and concerned it will lead to worse performance. Solely because of the techn

My cursory knowledge is Go is best for distributed services and things that heavily involve the network. Rust is better for memory based operations due to its safety and speed.

My job now has no ability to run our code locally and its terrible. I work on APIs which at the end of the day is an HTTP server making and responding to requests. When I make a change its impossible to test locally which is terrible. The s

ExpressVPN is a very well known VPN service IMO. I've certainly heard of it from several people, and seen it often in lists of VPN recommendations. Can't speak to the other points you raise, but ExpressVPN is certainly a known com

Wow! What a wild ride. Thanks for linking to that story, it's fascinating to read about these types of experiences. My former role was in web development, I've always been stunned that native apps can get away with 100+mb sizes an

One question I have is, what is Uber doing with all their engineers? Most of us are engineers as well. So we all understand maintenance, monitoring, feature development, tech debt etc. Technology products rarely can just be 'let alone&

> I don't think demand would go down because prices are increased. I disagree. Of course demand will go down as prices go up. It's quite literally the most basic principle of economics. Uber is not like a life saving pharmaceut

Of course they can raise prices. But that doesn’t mean people will pay them. I’ve noticed massive increases lately in Ubers prices. So have lots of other people. In response, people take fewer Ubers. As prices go up demand will go down. Ube

Twitter is also launching an API for spaces soon! It's what I'm working on. This is one of my coworker's accounts with some info about it. https://twitter.com/i_am_daniele/status/1421184317640880132

Perhaps, but so far this isn't a problem. Let's stay focused on the actual problems that we're facing. Maybe some businesses as you suggest will refuse a picture and only accept the physical card. So far this may be up to bus

You won't need to show a vaccine card to cross state lines, only to go out to eat. Of course its okay to walk around without an ID, no one suggests otherwise. But if you go to a restaurant without an ID, and get carded you can't o

No one is suggesting preventing non New Yorkers from coming into New York. We only ask they respect our laws. People are always welcome to visit unhindered. If they want the full NY experience which includes eating at a restaurant they must

Classic slippery slope fallacy. Just cause we allow something now doesn't mean we allow it always or are in favor of the general principle. Put up at least a half honest response to contribute to the discussion

by bern4444 5y ago
No, if you want to come to NY and eat at a NY restaurant you're subject to NY laws just like you are when you pay the NY sales tax rate. You don't pay the CT sales tax at a NY restaurant. Vaccine card or leave. If CT wants to work

This is about a restriction NY is imposing on New Yorkers. The city and state I'm sure would welcome cooperation with other nearby states in developing a tri state area valid digital vaccine card. But this isn't about other cities

Vaccination in NY/NYC is easily proven. Picture of your vaccine card is sufficent and there's also the excelsior pass which is a QR code. Super easy to get from a city/state website after entering a few details (think name, w

Thanks for the response and glad to hear the new hires have been good! Admittedly I'm a little burned on this issue. My previous (and first job) was severely underpaying me and all my coworkers. I stayed there for 3 years, wanted to le

Wow, yeah what a different market. Even with a high paying SWE job, home ownership for me (mid twenties) continually feels like an always increasingly expensive goal that grows more distant of achieving. Cool to read though about what you p

I think what this misses, which I saw in another comment, is the take here is an individual one. If someone leaves and gets a 20% raise, while it may be an isolated incident, I believe it's more often than not an example where the mark

I think this reveals a much more interesting trend that's likely to continue. It's not that existing jobs will always be automated, we'll come up with tools that completely automate several layers of work. It's a differe

Of course, but I think providing shelter, food, stability even in the short term is a necessary first step. I know one issue a lot of homeless who are working to get back up on their feet face is even having a stable address to receive mail

That's fair, I only say 6,000 seems feasible since I'm in NYC which absolutely has a homeless issue as well, but there's capacity for 10s of thousands. Of course, the current NYC capacity isn't enough for the number of h

by bern4444 5y ago
The article mentioned that San Jose has 6,000 homeless people and capacity for 1,000 homeless people (I assume this allows for food, beds etc but I'm not sure). Perhaps I don't quite appreciate the complexity of this problem, but
