Looks like a solution seeking a problem as chat for everything means consistently sparse users to chat with. Fairly normal for a hackathon as it's challenging to identify what to work on in such short time constraints.

Bikes are optimized for cost and ease of riding (i.e. less weight when possible), so bikes avoiding bells and whistles by default makes perfect sense to me. If you add on too much then the bike shop prices themselves out of the market. Bike

It's more on the embedded end of the spectrum, but https://github.com/mruby/mruby is another option in compiling ruby code and c extensions down to a single binary.

No rational has been given at my organization. Leading into the office building's shutdown a number of fully remote employees were hired which makes the pull back to the physical office make even less logistical sense.

I've seen https://4dayweek.io/ posted a few times here, so that might be a site to watch. There's other locations where 4 day a week positions come up, but it's more of a rarity.

I tend to agree with tools either being good at code or data. I'm sure eventually there will be a solution, but for now it's a lot of bespoke tooling. Docker can be a headache at times, but being able to maintain a consistent envi

Per point 1, after interviewing a good few candidates in the space I think that most of them just don't have the backgound to effectively handle version control (it's more complicated when working with evolving datasets), automate

Half of a counterpoint, I fall under the data science umbrella and any current dissatisfaction boils down to application domain (and anything that falls into tech worker gripes which aren't specific to data sciences at all). Given the

They're trying to recognize your face anyway. e.g. see https://pages.nist.gov/frvt/html/frvt_facemask.html It looks like the testing is still done in relation to synthetic masks, but I could see that shifting

Eh, I've seen it done rarely from time to time, but there's more effort in catering to the HN audience specifically. This post is more generic content you'd see thrown to any link-aggregator/social media. Additionally it

Every few days you're posting a thinly veiled advertisement for your own organization. Are you just working on SEO or do you expect actual engagement with these marketing posts?

https://angel.co/ displays the number of employees that a company has right next to the job listing and generally listings there favor smaller organizations. Otherwise there's the option of manually sifting through res

IMO the existing solution is to commit small changes with partial commits which is pretty easy if your editor supports them (e.g. vim-fugitive). Then prior to pushing your set of changes use rebase -i to reorder events into a good overall s

Sometimes, but it depends on the vendor. Generally a picture of someone is enough to recognize them. So, if the system is just a monocular RGB image capture, then there needs to be another layer to the system to address when a biometric is

Neat idea, though it does seem like some users already replicate the experience by using twitter along with some tooling to periodically delete tweets.

The phenomena of compelling biometrics for unlocking devices doesn't seem to be a new problem. They present a convenience factor, but from a security standpoint there's issues with others being able to compel their usage, spoofing

Neat exploration, but it does highlight the mismatch in ideas between C++ and Common Lisp given the clunkyness of creating restarts with your lib. The whole conditions/restart system in Common Lisp was one of the really interesting par

Personally I'd look at sites like meetup.com to see if there's already groups in your area. In my region the level of event activity is still lower than normal, but it does seem to be coming back as in person activities are becomi

What's the differentiating factor? Based on a quick glance it looks like there are few listings and searchability is average compared to others in this space.

In a similar vein Louis Rossmann has been walking through NYC showing current commercial storefront vacancies. While each video focuses on one street the rates of empty spaces seem to be higher than in the posted article. The rents do seem

If you're submitting the same picture again and again then you might as well submit a cryptographically secure key (through some handshake, not necessarily uploading the key). If you're submitting images of the same physical objec

I would hope that the "I was not given enough money to return to work" option would cover that. I haven't done much in the domain of large scale surveying, so I can't say how much you'd expect people to skew their o

I'm surprised to see that rejecting non-remote job offers is the reason for 11% of the respondents rather than a smaller portion. I guess that's another positive indicator that the shift to long term remote work is going strong.

Time is expensive. So, you can find parts elsewhere for much less, but it can take a while to find an equivalent option setup for prototyping. It's not as much of an issue if you've got a stack of blank SMD breakout boards. If you

A terminal requiring a privacy policy? I'll stick to simpler tools even if that means missing an occasional quality of life feature.

Less of a questionnaire and more of an advert in my opinion. If you want to show HN your technology, just do so directly.

The Linux-Audio-Announce mailing list is a moderated mailing list and has been for quite a few years (10+ IIRC). It had been several years since the original non-* projects had a release announcement there and within those years the standar

IIRC (anyone else in LAD-proper correct me) the insinuation came from using some standard boilerplate in a release announcement for the fork. The fork's release tagline outlined what open source was and how it is beneficial to users. S

Perhaps, though you'd end up with the same 'nsmd', 'nsm-proxy', and 'nsm-proxy-gui' commands with the same 'NSM_URL' environmental variable. Ideally there'd be more separation, but then you
