Would love to read more about how you have mobx structured here. I have a similar graph of mobx objects for something I’m building but haven’t come up with an ergonomic sync story yet.

I'd highly encourage anyone interested in the contents of this article/learning about learning to read through the submitter's blog: https://www.justinmath.com/blog/
I don't even think it makes them look ancient, it makes them look odd for claiming that when they clearly are not the first open source IAC framework...

OP, why exactly are you describing yourself as the first one?

The pricing here seems asinine. $0.10/successful API call?

PA, for example where I went to school, was still nearly $20k/year for tuition at the flagship state schools. I know a lot of people in-state that ended up with over $100k debt.

SEEKING WORK | Remote (based in NYC) | Full Stack Engineer

I'm a software engineer with a few years of experience (comprised of starting at SpaceX working on the combustion simulation team before moving to NYC to work at Knewton, a crypto startup, and now a food-tech startup) looking for some interesting projects to take on in a part-time basis (roughly 20 hours/wk).

I've used this model of working in my spare time (mornings, evenings, weekends) several times now to help launch products or MVPs for companies ranging from the healthcare industry to adult entertainment. More than happy to show examples over email!

My main areas of focus have been predominantly frontend since moving to NYC, working with React (and React Native!), Typescript, the Apollo stack for GraphQL, and related tools. I've also written a ton of Java and Python.

If you have a project that is silo-able, an MVP, or just something that doesn't warrant hiring another full-time engineer for, I'd love to chat with you (or grab coffee if you're in the NYC area).

You can reach me at anthony at bitsolar dot com

Citibike in NYC is wildly successful.
Re:Impact of the Amazon-Whole Foods Deal on Instacart on Wednesday November 08, 2017 @10:12PM (#15659518)
I've had the same experience. I'd select the cheapest possible chicken breast from Whole Foods and they replace it with air chilled, free range chicken breast. The difference in cost was quite significant per pound.
Lol I read that completely wrong. Time for more coffee, I suppose -- that definitely means $2.50/mile.
The fare for NYC is incorrect -- $2.50 is the base price and $0.505/mile and $0.50/minute the car is stopped (i.e. in traffic if they're waiting). There's also a $1 surchage between 4-8pm on the weekdays.

Re:Engineers Should Blog on Saturday February 25, 2017 @05:19PM (#13734194)
It is the opposite. False positive in this context would be thinking someone is good when they're actually bad and vice versa for false negative...
Which part? Letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane (the three biggest AIs) are all incredibly effective at keeping estrogen levels within range given a knowledgable doctor providing supervision.

The biggest problem is that there is a lot of taboo with testosterone treatments and finding a doctor that keeps up to date with the research is incredibly difficult depending on where you are located.

Context for those who are unaware of what an AI is: AI is an aromatase inhibitor that stops the aromatization of testosterone into estrogen.
I started working on one a week ago.

What are the main features you'd like to see that were left out from YNAB 4?

Any particular reason you don't have Infiniband on these for interconnects?

Having this chassis with Infiniband and a local disk would be a dream if the manufacturing cost is right as we scale up in our local datacenter where I'm at.

"Minimum 4-Year Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent from a "top ten" institution."

Coming off a bit elitist on your career page.

Re:Testosterone is the drug of the future on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @09:34AM (#8996961)
If you're already at normal testosterone levels and decide to take a supraphysiological dose (500 mg/wk of enanthate), you will have to go through post cycle therapy (PCT) when you're finished. PCT restarts your natural testestorone production. You'd take something like Nolvadex for four weeks with a tapering dosage.

No, the aromatization of soy protein is far over blown.
Re:Testosterone is the drug of the future on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @09:20AM (#8996877)
The side effects of exogenous testosterone are far over blown, especially at a TRT level dosage (about 200 mg/week depending on the ester used). Many of the side effects can be managed by using medication such as Arimidex.
Re:From the World of Design Trends: “Flat Design” Is Dying on Friday September 26, 2014 @11:32AM (#8373129)
This was a pointlessly fluffy article that can be summed up with: "Flat design is a fad. Just like modern and postmodern movements have come and gone in art — so will this."

Well, of course movements change, so you could write an article as soon as a trend starts that its "dying."

More importantly, human-computer interactions is a relatively new area of design. How do we know that flat design will actually be just a fad rather than a paradigm shift?

Re:Ask HN: What mailing lists do you subscribe to? on Thursday June 26, 2014 @07:59AM (#7949148)
Really just some listservs for school organizations/information.

When I was actively doing virology research, I subscribed to ProMed to keep up to date with disease outbreaks, but that was pretty niche specific.

I usually don't like my inbox being hit by mailing lists, too much noise.

Re:Ask HN: What browser add-ons/extensions do you use? on Thursday June 26, 2014 @07:56AM (#7949141)
In Chrome:

* Checker Plus for Gmail

* Google Cast

* Hangouts (I use this with a lot of people instead of SMS now, its great to be able to switch back and forth between my phone and Chrome)

* Lastpass

* Rapportive

* Reddit Enhancement Suite

* TeX the World

* Videostream (for Chromecast, so I can stream MKVs locally)

Re:Google I/O 2014 on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @03:03PM (#7946088)
I'm interested to know which parts specifically you find hard to distinguish in iOS7/8? Are you experiencing any similar problems with current Android design language?
Re:Google I/O 2014 on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @02:16PM (#7945774)
Their new redesign is pointless in the first place. OEMs will continue to produce overlays that completely disregard Google's design language. Instead, they'll put in poorly designed, tacky interfaces.

While this doesn't affect the experience on stock Google devices, phones such as the Nexus line represent a crushingly small share of the market, so it doesn't matter.

In addition, I don't understand the pivot towards elevation. The industry has been moving towards flat design. I like flat. It's simple. Less design is often better than more deisgn.

The new Gmail design is a great example of this. The current design is simple. Information is there as soon as you open the application. The new design has increased usage of whitespace and a larger action bar, not to mention that intrusive icon in the bottom right.

There hasn't been a single thing about this year's I/O that has impressed me, or pleased me for that matter. Disappointed that Google continues to pump out new features instead of perfecting the ones they already have.

The way I currently see it, you have Apple putting out less features with incredible levels of polish, or Google throwing features at the wall until something sticks and then only enhancing it a little (i.e. Hangouts).

Tried a few searches but none of the results seem to be relevant to what I was searching, nor do they make sense.

I also didn't enjoy having to sign up to run a free search. Could you explain why I should even use this?

No problem :) Also, are there any links to your teams portfolio of work or anything? Can't seem to find any.

I really don't like this trend :(

If I don't have an understanding of what a site is offering, I'm not going to stay on the page for more than a few seconds.

"Don't make me think" seems relevant for this trend.
