Re:Show HN: Go Concurrency Patterns on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @10:49AM (#24408957)
Hi HN, While learning about goroutines and channels, I implemented different types of pipelines (fan-in, fan-out etc). I wrote comments extensively so I could review later and to help someone else learning about these. Sharing here for feedback. You can check out the annotated code here - https://cranky-franklin-0e76f2.netlify.app/
Do you think using templates for certain kinds of emails would improve the quality of communication?

Like how there are issue templates on Github, say you defined a template which recruiters could use to approach you.

I did a quick search but couldn't find any. Can you share a few names of those startups?

Ask HN: Idea feedback – Service where people pay to reach your inbox

Problem - The bar to sending an email is too low resulting in casual low-effort messages. These messages take up time and attention and are difficult to filter. For instance, recruiter spam.Solution - A service where a person pays a nominal amount, say $2, to land in your inbox. These messages will have 'PRIORITY INBOX' in their subject. This lets you filter the high-effort messages at a...

"I cannot simply proceed if questions are unanswered."

I know this feeling. I do force myself to proceed but it feels like I'm cheating myself. Do you always hang around at that point until you clear up the question? What if it's something that would benefit if you allowed it to brew in the back of your mind? How do you keep track of such questions.

Sorry if i'm splitting hairs.

"If I enjoy a topic, I write down and rearrange chunks from different sources."

This. How do you do this? As in do you write down chunks on post its and rearrange, you write them in a notebook and go back and forth, you use some kind of app?

I've felt this too, learning from multiple sources is a much more fulfilling experience

Ask HN: How do you read?

Sometimes when I'm reading a book, I get into this mad rush to note down any and every new idea I come across. At the end of it I'll have a pile of notes but I don't seem to have connected the ideas to anything I already know. They just hang around as statements. At other times, I read slowly and at the end of a 300 page book I might have only three key ideas that I remember, but I'm able to...

Edit - What do you do for services (For instance Namecheap) that do not provide backup codes or where Google Authenticator is not applicable?

Ask HN: What's your backup plan for 2Factor authentication if you lose your phone

Gmail allows for code backups. What do you do for all the other services? What do you suggest for a small business team that uses multiple services with 2-factor authentication?----------EDIT - What do you do for services (For instance Namecheap) that do not provide backup codes or where Google Authenticator is not applicable?

I see, I was not certain if the problems I had with remote portals were something others were facing as well. Since the standard seems to suggest otherwise

Ask HN: What would your ideal jobs board have/do?(Developers and Employers of HN)

Hi, I was thinking to build a remote jobs portal awhile back. I decided otherwise given all the portals already online. However I am not completely satisfied with what is on offer.Just wanted HN's views on what they think would make for an ideal remote jobs board for them.For instance What kind of filters would be of use to help find relevant listings quickly? Would some level of...
