This is somewhat unrelated but in the two weeks in London Labour and Wait (where this coffee roaster is available in-p) is one of the best shops for high quality home goods and tactile experiences. I spent a ton of time in the Shoreditch location.

I haven't found a true analogue in SF but the closest experience-wise is Bernal Cutlery on Valencia.

Really interesting alternative to Goodreads and Storygraph, this post dives into their shift from NextJS to Rails, their stats, and their API posture for the new year.

This past year I interned at Lyft and had a blast. Their engineering, engineering education, and employees are top notch and have produced great open source projects (Clutch, Confidant, and Envoy).

To be beleaguered by not taking the competition seriously in the early stages and not innovating enough... that's business. I hope the great engineering is retained somehow and wish the new CEO best of luck.

This seems like a new initiative between Google and the CSN to stop people from falling from scams that YouTubers like Kitboga[0] and Jim Browning[1] like to expose.

I'm probably echoing a lot of people here but:

- Dan Luu [1]

and for design and insights in that discipline:

- Arun Venkatesan [2]

I first saw Dan Luu's list of programming books (https://danluu.com/programming-books/) when researching CLRS during my sophomore year of high school. This list and his insights on pure CS are really enjoyable to read and pique my interest. Also, his post on latency [4] secured the idea that minuscule UX improvements is as important as UI and that we should optimize for both. jvns introduced me to the Recurse Center and dluu confirmed that I could, in fact, participate and do something cool. (I also took his Hugo template for my own blog which has served me well though this week I'll be designing my own with cues from the latter.)

Arun is a physical/digital design nerd and someone I read religiously. From photography to the design minutiae of the Apple Card [5] /Mac Pro [6] /iPod HiFi [7] his in-depth posts really allowed me to appreciate even the smallest of design choices and how they play into the larger, big picture, design system as a whole.

Thanks for sharing this! Going through applications for internships right now and hopefully this will help.

Also, Amy Miller's twitter has an errant h at the beginning of the url.

Thanks for your insight! Although I tried to grok some of the papers submitted, I could only understand some of the jargon off-hand and I'll have to drum up some questions for the workshop on Sunday and be active. Might I ask which ACM conference did you organize? The conferences space is incredibly large and vast in disciplines!

While the social part is not there, the technology is.

I subscribe to rule groups through hostblocker.app, which pulls HOSTS files from different known websites and compile them into a .lsrules file which Little Snitch can use.

While I cannot vouch for the website's underlying code-I did not write it and I can not find an open source implementation-It only provides rules and I can edit any rule group to my liking after subscribing to it.

I'm pretty sure the server is just serving an image rather than an html file hence the lack of a source.

I tested this using Safari and Google Chrome and when inspecting the image element, both browsers produced different <img/> tags which I assume is because of the browser itself.

I'm not apart of Mercury, but per their pricing page [0] sending domestic and international wires are $5 and $35 respectively while receiving from both is free.

Further reading from Dan Luu, who wrote about this as well. [0]

He goes into why the Apple 2e is so quick, the iOS Rendering pipeline, and general complexity of computing input.

I find it really interesting that latency is so high on a lot of devices in 2018.
