Some other commenters have pointed out: huge difference between artificially mandating this sort of wage through legislation and a company deciding on their own to do so because of economics, generosity (such do exist, not all), etc. It als

I’m looking for bank import tools (ala Plaid) for customers, and it occurs to me that it is absolutely ridiculous in this day and age that there is no universal API for securely delegating read only access to bank transactions. My personal

Came here to say this, except the real fix is to simplify the tax code. It’s like app dev - over the years has built up lots of bloat, some due to legit social interests, some due to back room shenanigans with special interests. Needs an

This looks pretty neat. I assume you only beat the game when you use the computer you create to create a game where you build a CPU and assembly language from circuits?

His first point, that you don’t change people’s minds, is why I’ve largely given up on debate and social media. Sometimes I feel bad about it. Sometimes I feel it’s completely reasonable reaction to the political environment. If every si

Wowza. We put an open source nginx cache layer in front, and cloudfront in front of that. It’s a pretty cool setup, but I feel I could do most of the HLS in nginx+ffmpeg.

I was just looking for something to do this, but couldn’t find much. I need to serve up about 1000 cameras to both hls (for public) and webrtc (for low latency/ptz admin use). Today we do it with paid packages, but I was exploring jus

Not sure if this is exactly what the article refers to, but at one of my customers I helped create an app literally called Glue. It has things like a task scheduler for scheduling http posts to developers apps, or monitoring email boxes a

Art major with a 15+ y career in software development here. It can be done. The market may have changed since I got situated though. I think if I had to do it over I would do cs or business degree. Or aerospace. I sometimes think I mis

Bulma or bootstrap or pay someone to do it for you. Honestly, though, try to shake the idea that learning anything is dreadful. Whether it’s css, JavaScript, or quantum physics, learn as much as you can about everything you can. Then, if

I'll bite, in the spirit of discourse. Two issues I have with this take. First, David Bowie can afford in terms of money and in "social credit" to apologize and move on. A lowly first year prof or reporter who lost her job

In my experience, while it sounds nice to be able to swap out databases with just a config change, it really takes code changes even with an ORM. I recently wrote an app that can use either SQLlite or MS SQL with EF Core. Many things are

I’m in the same boat. A 9-5, 3 kids and several responsibilities, and trying to work on some side project ideas. What are some tips for finding time, energy, and motivation for working on this.

They sort of mention that in the breadth section. The idea is that natural immunity may target more than just the spike proteins the vaccine focuses on so may actually target more variants. One can imagine a scenario where continued (not

Looks great! I’ll definitely be checking this out for my web work. One thing I see- and only mention because the rest of the product seems like it has an eye for detail- the “we are hiring” link and paint component on imba.io have minor la

A great library. I use it daily for web work. But recently I used it in an ionic framework mobile app. Simple cross-platform mobile map from a single code base? Yes please!

Agree. I mean, far be it from me to disagree with the likes of Chomsky, but the gist of his argument seems to be "the Magna Carta and US Constitution didn't immediately cure all injustices, therefore it messed up the world."

I came to say similar. I ran a personal blog for a while and toy with the idea of revamping it occasionally. But my objections generally fall into two categories: * For tech-heavy programming/operations how-to or bugfix content, Stac

One question I hope some HNer can help me with, that I'm not seeing answered: How is _testing_ affected by these variants? This is relevant to me as I've had symptoms but tested negative with BinaxNow, and now have to decide on

I've actually wrestled with this exact analogy as a way to measure the risks myself. There are options for car accidents - a "vaccine" you can take as it were. Wear a seatbelt. I think it's a good analogy. Some peopl

Interesting concept. I have an office I could see this being useful for (though possibly a bit out of my price range, if I'm honest). One thing that stood out to me though is that all the examples were similar style (mid-century mode

Is there nuance here in what is used to train vs what is used in completions? For example, if all public code was used to train a ML model, but then the autocomplete feature only pasted in uniquely generated or licensed code, that would be

This has been evident to me personally in two areas especially: car repair and gardening. I routinely look up repairs for my vehicles on YT and often find they are more approachable than if I’d just relied on a chiltons guide. The “tacit k

One gotcha that turned one of my clients away from hubspot was that contacts can only have one business. Especially if your targeting certain segments, there really needs to be a many-to-many relationship on contacts and businesses.

I guess host-to-virus and virus-to-host is what I meant with the question. Virus evolves in the herring incorporating the AFP gene. Then infects the smelt or gametes and injects the AFP gene. A small number of smelt incorporate the gene a

As someone with no business even commenting on this topic, I'll ask anyway: is it possible that a virus could do this? My (again, naive) understanding of CRISPR is that it uses a virus to inject DNA fragments into an organism's

Geeze, that's a blast from the past. You know it's funny- I used to periodically go looking for things to customize my desktop experience. This, those little dogs and cats, Rainmeter, Amiga workbench hacks, etc. etc. Nowadays-
