Re:Elixir and Phoenix can do it all on Sunday October 29, 2023 @01:40PM (#38060861)
But on the flip side you can also do "if my_var", which will evaluate to true for any non-nil value and non-false value
Re:Java 21 makes me like Java again on Sunday September 17, 2023 @04:31PM (#37549015)
Despite the fact that this is a claim with no basis in reality, what you are saying is that people who don't understand the core concepts the language is built on write bad code...Isn't that true for every language?
Re:Java 21 makes me like Java again on Sunday September 17, 2023 @04:24PM (#37548957)
I use Go and Java every day, and Java is way more enjoyable to use

Do you mean overloaded methods? You can "override" methods in Go in the sense that if you have an embedded struct you can provide your own implementation in your struct to use instead
Re:Tell HN: Upwork has an impersonation problem on Thursday July 14, 2022 @02:17PM (#32099616)
yea, Upwork said they can't disclose to me what action(s) they took "due to account privacy"

You mean...the account privacy of someone pretending to be me?

Re:Tell HN: Upwork has an impersonation problem on Thursday July 14, 2022 @02:15PM (#32099587)
Yea that's pretty much what I did...I added a note to my "headline" on LinkedIn saying if you found me on Upwork, it's not actually me
Re:Tell HN: Upwork has an impersonation problem on Thursday July 14, 2022 @02:14PM (#32099569)
According to Upwork support when I spoke to them

> Please know that as soon as the freelancer applies or is offered a contract, we would run an identity verification process which would have them submit a Government-issued ID and have a quick video chat or send us a selfie to prove their identity.

However, this is way too late in the process for my liking...and who knows how strict they actually are?

Re:Tell HN: Upwork has an impersonation problem on Thursday July 14, 2022 @02:12PM (#32099554)
According to Upwork support, they do something like this before a contract is actually signed. But in my opinion that's way too late in the process - someone impersonating me could completely ruin my reputation before any contract is handed out

Tell HN: Upwork has an impersonation problem

The past few days I started getting interview invites from companies and people I had never heard of. I initially shrugged it off as aggressive spam, but after declining one of the invites, one of the emailers followed up to confirm that I was the same person that they were talking to on Upwork.I had never setup an Upwork profile before so I said no, after which they responded with a link to a...

You can do an in-kind transfer to move the assets over to a new firm without having to sell first. Definitely works for cash, stocks, mutual funds, and bonds. Not sure what else you can do it for
Re:I want off Mr. Golang’s Wild Ride (2020) on Sunday May 01, 2022 @09:15PM (#31230396)
I've had nothing but negative experiences debugging elixir honestly. In a large project, trying to step debug is just way too slow
Re:I want off Mr. Golang’s Wild Ride (2020) on Sunday May 01, 2022 @09:13PM (#31230383)
what elixir tooling are you using? I absolutely deplore writing elixir because I just find the tooling atrocious
Re:Show HN: Resume maker with no sign-up or subscription on Friday September 24, 2021 @10:59AM (#28643354)
I never knew about this...is this true for resumes converted to pdf from latex? Is there a way I can check my resume to see if it is getting parsed correctly?
Re:Don’t use environment variables for configuration on Thursday April 01, 2021 @02:58AM (#26657377)
These are good examples but I think these fit under my “global argument” umbrella. Imagine if every Linux command had a different argument name for the pager?
Re:Don’t use environment variables for configuration on Thursday April 01, 2021 @02:40AM (#26657285)
Maybe I live under a rock, but I feel like command line utilities taking environment variable arguments just isn’t that common of a practice? The only examples I can think of are when an argument is more of a “global variable” that many different commands may find useful such as JAVA_HOME, GITHUB_TOKEN, etc. For web applications and docker containers, environment variables fit easily into the deployment process and for all intents and purposes, are pretty much static.
Curious as to why you think WeWork is a bad idea?
This is totally irrelevant to the discussion but I found it amusing that the author of that articles name is Jim Halpert and actually very mildly looks like Jim Halpert
Re:CA Root expired on 30 May 2020 on Sunday May 31, 2020 @03:08PM (#23371800)
We had to get an entirely new certificate to resolve this. We had recently migrated our docker images to be based on Amazon Linux 2, and low a behold, there was no easy way we found to upgrade to the required version of OpenSSL on Amazon Linux 2. Was easier to just upgrade our certificates
Awesome..is there anywhere I can track the integrations, like a public roadmap or something along those lines?
Would love to get off JIRA but the leverage jira has over alternatives is that there are integrations for _everything_. Slack, PagerDuty, Freshdesk, etc. I wonder how long it will take Tara to get up to speed
Re:SSH hacks – a little sanity for remote workers on Thursday April 30, 2020 @11:59AM (#23032308)
Can I ask why? I've tried it out (albeit, very briefly), and it just seems like the same thing but with different command shortcuts. Is it just because it's newer?
Re:Guitar – Git GUI Client on Wednesday April 22, 2020 @01:15PM (#22947859)
I have Fork, but I don't see any word diffing functionality, unless you are just referring to an additional highlight on the changed word(s)

Re:Guitar – Git GUI Client on Wednesday April 22, 2020 @11:29AM (#22946590)
Which GUI clients that you know of do support word diffing?
Back about a year and a half ago I was having some issues with the fuzzy search being laggy and submitted a feature request. The dev responded and had a beta for me to try out within a day or two. Overall it’s a great product. Definitely one of the best db clients out there. Only reason I stopped using recently is because my team got an all access IDEA license so I switched over to datagrip
Really wish I didn't have to create an account just to see what it looks like
