cyrusroshan··on Portal Windows for Electron
Ah, I know the one you’re referring to—-that purple window actually isn’t using this library.

We can get the position of our _own_ windows easily, but when it comes to getting Spotify’s position, we need to do some more complex polling, which is slower (and only works when the 3rd-party window is in focus).

Mostly a lack of need-it’s a contrived example I wrote to show a large window count, with child windows spawning nested child windows of their own.

In the actual Tandem app, windows moving like this is uncommon.

Hey! Author here: this demo is just the most extreme example I could quickly write to show the power of this library.

Realistically, you won’t need to chain window movement like this in most cases (other than our chatbox, I think none of our windows stay open when their parent window is moved). Fast auto-resizing, on the other hand, is more common, and works great.

cyrusroshan··on Launch HN: Deviceplane (YC W20) – Update and Manage Devices Running Linux
To add on to what Josh said, re: OS updates, we have functionality for bulk scripting (https://deviceplane.com/docs/operating/command-scripting/) to help you roll out host-level updates to your devices.

We're also interested in hearing your thoughts on pricing, shoot us founders@deviceplane.com, and let's talk about it!

Hey Kai, I remember you mentioning that bulk scripting the first time we talked. I actually wrote up the docs on how to do that just recently (the last section is probably what you're looking for): https://deviceplane.com/docs/operating/command-scripting/

Glad to hear you're enjoying using Deviceplane!

cyrusroshan··on Why truly sociable people hate parties
One of the ways we bond with others, is by exposing our vulnerabilities to build trust. I think the author's right, in that showing a bit of the painful part of life helps make friends. And really, aren't real friends the ones that also stick with you when things aren't going great?

I definitely agree with your last paragraph, though.

cyrusroshan··on Announcing cucumber-electron
I write tests using chromedriver. Ends up being really simple to write, and if I want to debug something, it's just a chrome instance that I can use normally if I make the tests wait.

Only downside is you have to make it run with xvfb on the CI server, but that's pretty easy to set up in your config file usually.

Thanks Swift! Wish I could have made it to Prime too, but they were on the same day, keep up the great events!
cyrusroshan··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)
As far as your other open positions, do you have any similar positions for interns? I do a lot of IoT projects, and this sounds like something I'd be interested in.
