Hey! I'm Cyrus!

I've been an autodidact all my life, on the journey of being a polymath.

I believe in leading with kindness, compassion, and love, and am driven by growth, play, and service.

knrz··on More fuckin' user interface design
I think there’s also this attitude of thinking through every piece of the UX/UI thoughtfully and asking questions like...

“What do I want the user to notice? Where am I trying to direct their attention? If I didn’t know what this button does, how do I find out?”

It’s like checking out what you know at the door.

knrz··on NFTs Are a Dangerous Trap
I think it has to do with the money being held in crypto... the whales have more than they’ll need and are looking for reasons to spend it.
knrz··on Launch HN: SigNoz (YC W21) – Open-source alternative to DataDog
I guess YC is diversifying their bets :-)
knrz··on San Francisco is one of CA’s most conservative cities when it comes to housing
As a Torontonian living in SF I was amazed at the high quality of produce and dismayed at the low quality of restaurant food, even at $15-$25 per meal.
knrz··on What React Gets Wrong
I'd check out Parcel, it brings back the experience of throwing in a regular <script> tag and being good to go. https://parceljs.org/typeScript.html
knrz··on Covid-19 Vaccinations in the United States
There’s pilots you can sign up for, eg for SF https://wecanbeatcovid.org/

Pre-screening questions and then they’ll call you if they’re interested. Roommate got a call within a week, but another three of us haven’t heard back. Probably depends somewhat on diversity. My guess is that your best shot is applying as soon as one of these studies open up registration. FIFO.

knrz··on The golden age of configuration languages
Fair warning, I’ve been in situations with Pulumi where destroying and recreating a “stack” is the only way to solve little intermittent bugs. Not sure what level of stability you’d want from a tool like this but it made me raise an eyebrow.
knrz··on Soylent isn’t Healthy (2017)
I’ve started using Coffiest as a substitute for Soy Milk and protein powder.

Coffiest Frozen Bananas Ice Frozen Cauliflower & Avocado Chia Seeds Hemp Hearts Cocoa Cacao Assorted nuts (Cashews, Pistachios, Walnuts, Almonds)

knrz··on Get $15k to move to Michigan and work remotely
Honestly, same. I've been thinking about dipping to a coastal town somewhere with an English, French, or Spanish-speaking population.

GTA suburbs aren't bad but I love 10–20ºC and friendly people more.

knrz··on The Illusion of Control in Web Design (2018)
A List Apart has been doing this stylistically for a while.
knrz··on Theheadless.dev – open source Puppeteer and Playwright knowledge base
I’ve found success using page.goto(url, { waitUntil: “networkidle2” }).

The default waitUntil fires when the onload event is triggered, networkidle2 waits for less than 2 network requests in the past 500ms, and networkidle0 waits for no requests in the past 500ms. This + waitForSelector should help you out.

knrz··on An Iterative Approach to Notes
You’re looking for something like Roam Research or one of the apps it’s inspired.
knrz··on Show HN: A bookmarking tool designed to help synthesize your web research
The Chrome pageCapture API lets you dump the page as mhtml. It’s supposed to cache all content offline.
knrz··on Perseverance Toward Life Goals Can Fend Off Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorders
This is the general learning I’ve had as well.
knrz··on Q2 2020 Update
It does, but the rebalancing occurs in September I think.
knrz··on Feeling unproductive? Maybe you should stop overthinking
This neatly sums up something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Cheers.
knrz··on What Comes After Zoom?
Zoom lets you do screen sharing on iOS like you’ve mentioned... and it has for at least the past 2 months.
knrz··on nCino S-1
Assuming positive intent, I think he meant “and that’s why we should encourage immigration”
knrz··on Trump suspends H1B, H4 visas till year end
Also 4-month tech internships at UWaterloo.
knrz··on What Color Is Your Function? (2015)
Also one of my favourite points about Elixir/Erlang — having no distinctions between async/await makes programming flow better.
knrz··on Opaline – NextJS for CLI Tools
What's that terminal status bar you've got at the bottom of the screenshots?
knrz··on Worst economic crisis since 1930s depression, IMF says
I only tend to treat double quotes with authority.
knrz··on Ask HN: Solo devs, how do you plan your development?
I’ve been using Notion to integrate the kanban board, free form notes & references, client proposal documents, etc. all into one place.
knrz··on Ruby 2.7
In JavaScript, Elixir, and Ruby I use flatMap for this purpose. You can return an empty array on the block to “skip” over the element.
knrz··on Can we all stop using Medium now?
Nah man, I considered turning it on for no reason in particular.

Asked me for bank account routing info.

Wasn't interested about it that much.

Definitely not on by default.

knrz··on Butterflow: motion interpolated videos from the command line
iPhone cameras actually record at 120/240fps rather than recording at a lower rate and interpolating.

Thank god. I don’t want the soap opera effect on my videos. Interpolation is the first thing I disable on a TV.

knrz··on Why Do Rich People Love Endurance Sports? (2017)
Couldn’t agree more! My personal challenge for the past little while has been being observant of when I feel full. I’ve found this to be a productive perspective to engage in.
knrz··on Why We Chose Rails to Build Gitlab
Completely! With convention and macros, it's a whole new language.
knrz··on The habit of habit engineering
As the other commenter noted, it is indeed Way of Life :-) [0]

knrz··on The habit of habit engineering
Totally on board with this idea! I've been experimenting with similar things, and I wrote my perspective here: http://b.knrz.co/whats-the-right-thing-to-do
