Thank you for focusing into this space.

Is there a reason why the lumina webcams only focus on going up to 30/40 fps and not 4k/60fps? Are there plans to improve that aspect?

Thank you for everything! Atom paved the way for the next gen of editors. Curious to see what comes out of zed! Live collab seems amazing.

As a wishlist item, can we get a native vim mode with .vim.rc support? :D

This is an amazing move by the EU that could benefit the entire world. Something that in the US would have been perceived as “stifling innovation and big government”.

Re:Tell HN: Recruiters are lying about remote positions on Thursday April 07, 2022 @11:53AM (#30946195)
This is very anecdotal, but I have a friend that interviewed at Google for a Remote SWE position - everything indicated that it was remote: the posting, the recruiter and the hiring manager.

Now they announced RTO, his manager said: "We're excited to have you at the office" - he was really confused about this messaging, so they forced him to apply to work remotely (even if he had been hired as such) denied his application on the grounds that this SWE role that requires a lot of cross regional interaction and virtual meetings - requires "intense collaboration that you can only get in an office". Total BS.

Needless to say he's leaving. This is such a travesty, total misdirection.

I worked with a genetics therapeutic company a while ago, CAR-T is looking to be the future of cancer treatment. Extremely expensive but no long term effects observed thus far. That said, its very early in the process to say it's the "cure to cancer".

Any information if this can be turned to permanent residency?
