That happened to me, but slightly different: The 8th guy looked at my resume and, without talking to me, decided I'm under-qualified. He cancelled the call 1 hour before it was scheduled. Qualifying 7 rounds before that, and getting po

At one point, I really thought it was used in Supabase. But I guess they only wrote the js wrapper for it. https://github.com/supabase/postgrest-js Came here to mention Hasura as well (not sure of it's popularity

I worked for Tapchief about 4 years ago and we had an army of recruiters just scouring through LinkedIn and Upwork who look for interesting profiles and try to convert them to this platform. What I learnt there was that there exists a marke

I was about to say the same thing. My car (nowhere near as nice as a Merc) had the same issue. There would be oxide deposit on the contact points and the minuscule amount of rust and crack on the clamp would render it useless on a bumpy roa

Try everything, don't get addicted to anything. If you're counting the number of days since you last had it, you haven't truly moved on. Return everything slightly better than you found it. If you want something done properly

I have a 4 year old ThinkPad X1 extreme (1st gen) and I've been running Pop OS since almost day 1. I did run astray somewhere in the middle (Zorin, Manjaro, Windows) but found myself most comfortable with Pop. Things just work: nvidia

Thank you! Everything I am and every single penny I've earned can be attributed back to you or M. Hartl. I'm so happy I stumbled into rails 10 years ago.

Please ignore my lack of understanding a bit here. I'm genuinely trying to learn. I've always heard (and it made sense to me) that to reduce latency of requests from across the globe, you might want to have read replicas or caches

Yeah. This is a feature that caught my eye too. Blocking internet access to certain apps entirely. I do that actively on Android but it's been tough to do that on the laptop. Maybe Portmaster becomes the answer I want.

Hah! Had the same problem a few years ago when I was working on the MacBook Air and the tester had an MBP. You have to "Zoom Out" (Ctrl + -) on the page for testing on wider screens. For testing smaller screens, zoom in.

Hi! Absolutely loved the idea. Here's a tangential quirk though. Your `/book/introduction` page could use a little css change for the nav sidebar (zoom out on your screen to see what I mean) I think removing this css will hel
