He calls it "almost as bs as fiat". I think this is more about throwing shade on fiat.
This is a great point. Reading code is such an important skill and how most of an engineers time will be spent. The ability to reason about code that was written by someone else (including your past self) and update/expand it in a clean/maintainable way is a better indicator of success IMO then writing a little chunk of code that solves a brain teaser.

Read code, explain what it does and discuss how you would expand it to add additional functionality or fix a bug. I feel that would be a better approach than most of the current leetcode style interviews.

This looks great! How much data (clips/pitches) did you train your model on?

Yeah, 75 was probably all the fees, and I might have been thinking in $USD

Yeah, I believe it is a B.V.

In the Netherlands it was about €75, filled most of the paperwork out online although we did have to go in to the KVK (Chamber of Commerce) to complete the process.

Re:Swift AWS Lambda Runtime on Friday May 29, 2020 @03:49PM (#23354689)
Always happy to see more new Swift projects pop up, especially on the server side. It's great watching the language evolve and continue to add more powerful features.
Re:Launch an App on Friday May 29, 2020 @03:16PM (#23354315)
Enjoyed the writing style of the post and the clean design of the app. Cheers to launching!
@dhh - (Creator of rails, CEO of Basecamp) most tweets are calling companies out on privacy issues

@swiftbysundell - (John Sundell) Great articles about Swift

@twostraws - (Paul Hudson, Hacking w/Swift) Lots of great Swift content

@alex - (Alex Wilhelm, TechCrunch Journalist) Interesting stuff about Sass and startups

@TaylorLorenz - (NYT Journalist) If you want to keep up with what the kids are memeing about

As a long time baseball fan, the "punishment" is a joke. This is one of the worst cheating scandals in baseball history and Rob Manfred (Commissioner of MLB) basically gave a slap on the wrist. Every team/player in the league would be willing to trade this "punishment" for a World Series title.
> ... I don't think a huge advantage was had here.

I have too hard disagree on this. Knowing the pitch is a huge advantage in baseball.

I think Netlify has an amazing product and have been looking into using Gatsby for some projects. Thanks for linking those templates!
Re:What Affects Brew Time on Monday October 28, 2019 @06:21AM (#21375675)
Always love a good coffee science deep dive! Pour over is my brew method of choice (which this article focuses on) and it was really interesting learning more about the math (Darcy's Law) behind what affects flow rate/brew time. Worth a read!
Off by one errors and issues working with dates. Sounds like writing software to me.
Good thread previously here on HN about code sharing between iOS and Android: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20695806
Re:Modern Swift API Design [video] on Sunday June 09, 2019 @04:22AM (#20137933)
It's exciting to watch swift continue to evolve. Looks like property wrappers are used extensively throughout SwiftUI for @State and @Binding. This talk on "Data Flow Through SwiftUI"[0] is a really great one as well and they touch more on property wrappers.

Re:The food industry’s new favorite protein source: peas on Wednesday May 15, 2019 @05:11AM (#19917619)
Thanks for linking this, it was an interesting read. One thing that stood out to me was a paragraph towards the bottom of the article:

> "Studies on vegetarians who eat diets high in plant foods containing anti-nutrients do not generally show deficiencies in iron and zinc, so the body may be adapting to the presence of anti-nutrients by increasing the absorption of these minerals in the gut. [3]"

I do wonder how that differs with individuals on a vegan diet who don't eat any animal products.

Re:Refactoring Back End Engineering Hiring at Slack on Thursday April 04, 2019 @12:23PM (#19574133)
>> I generally will hire based on conversation alone (no coding tests)

>> If I can look at your Github, like what I see and you can back that up in a conversation, you're hired.

Wish more hiring managers followed this line of thinking

Great job launching! Simple but effective landing page, I look forward to seeing the product evolve.
Re:Ask HN: What is your best passive income 2019? on Tuesday January 15, 2019 @07:02AM (#18910563)
I'm not a YouTube creator so not the target market, but this is something I could see myself using if I did create videos. Seems to add good value for the cost, although I don't know what the competition/landscape is like.
Re:ES6 Classes on Sunday January 06, 2019 @03:02PM (#18840257)
I'm happy about the class syntax additions that came with ES6, especially the method definitions. It's increased my productivity (and happiness) when working with js.
I enjoyed your blog post, it touches on an important point that I find myself getting caught in. Explaining what I'm building in a technical manner or with a logical description that doesn't address what people really care about, "how will this product help me (save me time/money)?"
I've been looking for something like `Shift+v`! Thanks for that. +1 for `vt` as well.

Another great article on swiftBySundell. I really enjoy these well written deep dives into Swift.
Re:Learn just a little Awk (2010) on Friday June 15, 2018 @04:37PM (#17323344)
I saw a comment just yesterday(?) on HN that mentioned awk and it got me interested (first time I heard about it). This was a good little intro that was easy to follow along with and get a sense of what it's used for.
Re:Leaked screenshots of Xcode 10 on macOS 10.14 on Saturday June 02, 2018 @09:31AM (#17214524)
As someone who looks at Xcode all day, I'm very happy to be getting a dark mode. But really I have my fingers crossed the syntax highlighting issues get fixed.
Re:Lottie for Android, iOS, React Native, and Web on Saturday June 02, 2018 @12:05AM (#17212606)
I played around with Lottie (iOS) last time it was posted on HN (or maybe Reddit) ~6 months ago. You can create some really great animations quickly that would otherwise take a significant amount of time to hand code. Kudos to the team working on this for creating such a powerful tool and sharing it.
That would be great! I'm building a cryptocurrency app and this data would be really useful.
