It seems pretty logical to me that we would treat people who want to learn to fly without landing differently than a teenager who builds a clock.

Eager (https://eager.io) | Cambridge, MA | Full Time | Interns

Eager is looking for a Frontend Developer who is interested in building open source tools which will run on thousands of websites.

The Eager App Store makes it possible for non-technical website owners to use many of the open-source and SaaS projects we developers use every day. We're looking for a passionate engineer to devote his or her focus to creating apps (written in JS/CSS), curating apps from the open-source community and existing SaaS businesses (Disqus, Google Analytics, etc.), improving the tooling and resources for developing apps, and improving the Eager App Store itself.

This is an opportunity to spend your time writing interesting code which runs in the browser. Most of what you build will be open source and will directly contribute to empowering small business owners all around the world. We're continually pushing the boundaries of what can be done in the browser, using new tools like Mutation Observers, Service Workers and whatever else we can harness to build amazing things.

This job is ideal for an engineer who is excited by the idea of starting and finishing a new project every week, or even every day. There is an uncountable number of apps left to be made; we need your help!

Reach out to us at company+js@eager.io.

Wouldn't the most likely reason to "Swipe again" be that the read failed?

Have you tried a ketogenic diet (low carb)?

* Airport security is there to protect the airline industry, not the planes or passengers

This would be fantastically niche and tech-person-oriented, probably not the right move for the company as a whole. That said, nothing stops you from writing a bot on top of Twitter to power any of these interactions.

The logic is to prevent sensational titles. By forcing the title to be the page's heading, it limits posters ability to target the hn audience with a snappy, BuzzFeed-like, heading.

> try to build features in a way that it doesn't require people to edit code

The site is down for me. In the future, please consider making your blog a static site. It is generally more reliable, cheaper, and more tolerant of spikes of traffic like this.

There is a slight exception to this. If they are using an older statically typed language like C, it might make sense for them to have a limit on the buffer ready to store your unhashed password. Yes it seems crazy these days, but it might apply to some of the older systems which have password length limits.

You could just pay for GitHub to get private repos. If it's something this important to you, it's probably worth a few bucks a month.

This solution is also strange because if you ever committed anything private it will be in the history. So to make this work you either have to rebase over some history, or lose all the history.

We don't actually know if that's what the data shows. For one, diversity can refer to age, race, national origin, etc. They only refer to sex, all those other forms of diversity could actually be a negative for all we know.

Additionally, it's possible teams with 100% female founders do better than ones with a mix of sexes among the founders. That would mean again that diversity is not good, but being female is.

Obviously though, this is an n of 300. I would guess that includes less than 100 companies with female founders, making it not exactly proven.

I don't know if what you're talking about is software, or a physical invention. Based on the word 'technology' though, I'll assume it's software for a moment. I think the attitude of much of the tech community is that patents shouldn't generally be applied to software in general. Many established companies have agreed to only use patents defensively, and most of the traffic that patents get these days are rebukes against 'patent trolls' who spend time acquiring patents rather than actually delivering value to anyone.

I would encourage you to think about starting a business around your tech, rather than worrying too much about legally defending it. Starting a successful company requires so many good decisions that it's much more defensible than most people think. If you were the first one to think of this idea, you'll also be the first to think of many of the ways it can be used to deliver value.

Netlify is a great solution, thanks!

Yep. You point Stout at any HTML files, and it will version the JS/CSS and deploy the files reliably, with rollback.

In general if you can make your site static (just flat files), you should serve it from a CDN. It allows you to have edge locations closer to your users, and it gives you something which is (effectively) 100% reliable. You never have to do maintenance, never have to reboot instances or worry about scaling. It's faster, usually cheaper, and more reliable.

In terms of which CDN you should use, there are a few options. CloudFront has the most edge locations, Fastly and MaxCDN are more configurable. At Eager we use CloudFront for our app (https://eager.io), and Fastly (with a CloudFront fallback) for the static files we serve our users. One other note is that Fastly has some cheaper SSL options than CF, particularly if you need support for Windows XP clients.

Take a look at the "Why You Need Stout" section near the top for an explanation of what it does. We started with a simple solution, and ended up building Stout to solve versioning and cache synchronization issues we were experiencing.

Thanks!

This is wonderful. I have struggled with the lack of real readline compatibility in the PG CLI, this is a huge upgrade.

I use a password manager (1Password) to generate a strong, unique, password for every site.

The issue isn't that content rises which isn't good, it's that good content doesn't rise. So there might be 3x more good stuff getting posted than actually makes it onto the frontpage.
