I'm looking for a full time Senior Software Engineer role, either as a team lead or an individual contributor. I've been working fully remotely for many years.

I have 25 years of software development experience working with a variety of industries and technologies. I've led teams and mentored engineers. I've filed patents. I've taken a startup to a successful exit. I've founded my own bootstrapped startup. Imagine what I could do for you!

Might want to look up the history of sidewalks a bit. TL;DR: it can be argued that the existence of sidewalks is a concession that roads are only for cars, where previously they were for everyone, including pedestrians.

I see lots of ads for "Senior Engineer" that want 3 years of experience.

We get half of our genes from each of our parents. So unless this person has the extremely unlikely misfortune of partnering with someone else with the same rare mutation, their offspring would only have a 50/50 chance of inheriting their copy of this gene. There are also medical procedures (PGD) to bring that chance to virtually 0%.

Hews 2 on Android. I have a Pixel 6. Generally I'm satisfied with Hews 2, it just rendered this particular title in a funny way.

My HN reader displays this topic as "Universe expected to decay in 10 years, much sooner than previously thought".

And it's not wrong, that _is_ much sooner than previously thought!

This is also true for our DNA, because of companies like 23AndMe!

LOL that is an amazing analogy, thank you.

Fry it up with bog butter!

This assumes that services are handling your password responsibly and not e.g. storing it in clear text in a public S3 bucket, which in practice happens all the time.

The problem is with our payments infrastructure there isn't a practical way to make a "machine" on the internet that accepts two quarters. OP's machine charges $5. The Stripe minimum charge is $0.50, and their fees on that charge would be almost $0.21.

Same on Android. Cute idea tho.

OMG please please please! Regarding the author's specific questions, I would suggest not letting perfect be the enemy of good.

ROFL thank you for that

I love this idea! Can anybody else with experience with this chime in? Does it actually work?

TIL that PostgreSQL has SECURITY LABEL! It seems like this could be useful for storing all sorts of metadata about database objects, not just security stuff. E.g. like the COMMENT but not global. From reading the docs it looks like you need a "label provider" to get it to work though. I can only seem to find a few label providers around, does anyone know of one that isn't security/anonymization related and could be used more generically?

Way too expensive for me.

I didn't realize srcset could select for "pixel density", thanks for the tip!

I need a way to detect the screen DPI from the user agent, so I can return higher resolution images only to devices that can use them. I realize detecting that based on user agent may not always be accurate, but surely it could work the vast majority of the time. Does anybody know of a lib that implements that on NodeJS?

Configure Prisma with https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/overview/databases/postgresql...

Then you can pass `statement_timeout` when you create the `pg.Pool`

The key is two ints, not one. I use the first int for namespacing.

Store the state in the URL

It's possible now with the built-in "db adapter" plugin. I also have lots of misgivings about the Prisma ORM, but this particular thing is possible now.

So the Cursor AI can make edits to the .cursorrules file that's meant to control it? Hmm...

Children's ice cream, Mandrake?

I know it's absurd but somehow I've always intuitively felt that this sort of gardening philosophy (and especially bonsai) is cruel to the plants. It's like we're forcing the plant to grow in an unnatural way by abusing it.

This is great but even more impressive than the code is all the documentation and explanation of how it works. Well done!

Wow that would be very cool.

This is the plot of "The Freshman", which is an excellent movie. Starring Matthew Broderick, and featuring Marlon Brando parodying himself in The Godfather!
