I'm an experienced mobile developer who is trying to learn more about web dev with React. I recently built a small web app with React, Typescript, Tailwind and a Supabase backend.

I'm seeking a developer with experience in all 4 of those technologies to do a code review with me over a screen share session. This would be fairly high level, as I would like to talk thru a handful of decisions I made and see if I made any mistakes, especially with my relatively simple Supabase setup.

I expect this would only be an hour or two of work. If anyone is interested shoot me an email, showing some experience with these four technologies, to "jared at jaredandrews dot com"

Thanks!

But it wasn't because of their alleged improved sound quality or whatever, it was because they had a lifetime warranty. Dude had bought two monster 1/4inch cables and gotten them replaced "for free" like 5 times.

From what I can tell they got rid of the lifetime warranty around 2018 and have mostly transitioned to licensing their name.

But then I see "AI-driven", which I should note is the _third_ line of text on the web page. I assume it is an important feature for the author of the page.

I control-f, "ai-driven", it is only used one other time on the page:

"Perform easy AI-driven visualization with Matplotlib"

There is no further elaboration on the home page and I have been unable to find additional docs. (Someone please post a snarky RTFM response with a link to the manual, cuz like I said I am very interested in this. I did google "pysheets docs" which uhh linked to a python library with the same name...)

Last week, for the first time ever, I used noted "AI" ChatGPT to review a resume I had written. I wouldn't normally do this, but the company I was applying for heavily emphasized that they use chatgpt to generate code and review things.

Ever the skeptic, I decided to try it myself. I have to say I was impressed with the results. EXCEPT, ChatGPT, pointed out a grammar error in my resume which literally did not exist. Like the sentence it was critiquing in it's feedback was not found anywhere in my resume nor was there anything similar (from my perspective, I'm sure 1000 layers deep in it's network there was some similarity to something that had the error and wouldn't it be cool if we could effectively debug that).

ANYWAY, when I see ai-driven without elaboration in a spreadsheet program, I am very concerned that my data might be "hallucinated" and I would encourage the author to explain what exactly this means. Will my charts be correct 99% of the time but sometimes a hallucination? What's going on here? I would probably be signing up for the beta right now if I had any idea. Thanks.

(final snark: funny that one of the authors is named Kurt Vile, what are the odds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uAXMl-Bfiw)

NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK, hop jobs every one to two years and make sure each of those jobs comes with a salary increase greater than what you could get via the promotion ladder at company you are leaving. Be a good enough software developer that you can switch tech stacks at will. Learn the software engineering (design patterns, how to communicate with stakeholders, etc) and language design / compiler / networking fundamentals (so you can easily switch programming languages / stacks).

Beyond that, certain subsections of the tech industry have higher salaries so network with people in those subsections.

Also just to be clear, the point of networking is so when you hop jobs you aren't applying to random jobs, you are being referred by employees at other companies.

- PiHole

- Home Automation controller

- Camera / temp / humidity monitor for grow closet and at time 3d printer

- A 3d printer I used to have had a raspberry pi as it's board (I think, maybe it was a clone).

- I'm pretty sure my CNC machine uses a pi

- As another commenter mentioned, I used to have a Pi built into a NES for emulator purposes.

Growing up I had an alarm clock that you put a CD into and it would fade in the CD instead of an alarm noise. I really loved this, though having to wake up super early for school everyday, I will admit that I developed negative associations with the first track on many albums.

I created an improvised version of this a few years ago: a timer switch hooked up to a light, a cassette player and a water heater. When the timer went off all three would turn on. This worked but wasn't great cause nothing faded in.

I remodeled my bedroom last summer and wanted to replace this alarm with something more sophisticated.

I used a Raspberry Pi to do the following: - At the set alarm time, access my media server and generate a playlist of 10 random songs. Start this playlist and slowly increase the volume. - I bought a separate module to hook up to a lamp that points at where I sleep. This module lets me slowly turn up the brightness of the lamp as the music volume increases.

The water heater is hooked up to a timer in my kitchen now. But I just finished building an arduino based wifi switch, so once I get it integrated, that switch will get turned on 5-10 minutes before the alarm is set to go off and heat my water for coffee.

I built a dashboard for all of this using HTMX. It lets you set the alarm time, snooze, play arbitrary playlists, adjust the light etc. I also added a weather widget and I have a JSON file of all important birthdays in my life, so it tells me whos birthday it is when I go to review the weather.

Something that HN may appreciate, I have it setup so when I ssh into the Pi, I get dropped into a tmux session where an instance of emacs is running with the actual alarm code being executed inside of it. This makes editing and trying the new functions sort of like a lisp machine. You get dropped into emacs and can tweak all the scripts and test them in a sort of live environment (you have to restart the server to update the dashboard but everything else is 'live'). I have a dream of rewriting this so it really is a lisp machine and everything can be `c-x c-e`'d to run but I doubt I'll ever get around to that.

I would also like to integrate motorized blinds and open them up when I wake. I'm still researching this, if anyone has recommendations.

I have used imgur numerous times thru the years when posting Stack Overflow questions, new feature pull requests on open source apps, troubleshooting reddit posts etc. Very sad to think all that visual context will be lost.

I come across him whenever I am trying to figure out what a specific distro or tool _looks and feels_ like. If you search any distro name plus "distrotube" there is probably a video of him setting it up and playing around with it.

I have wondered about this guys background before and finally looked it up tonight.

> Despite the geekiness of my content, I have never actually worked in IT or a computer-related industry. Although Linux and technology have always been my hobby, I worked in the retail industry until recently. In 2020, with the pandemic and the subsequent shutdown, I lost the job that I had at the time. The retailer that I worked for went bankrupt and cut most of their supervisory positions (including mine). Thankfully, I already had a side job of sorts—making YouTube videos! So since the pandemic started, my full-time job has been making video content.

> I have been strictly a Linux user since 2008. The distro that I currently run is ArcoLinux with the xmonad window manager. Some of the software that I use daily includes GIMP (for graphics), Kdenlive (video editing), Audacity (audio editing), and OBS (for recording/streaming video). I also use a distribution of Emacs called Doom Emacs. It is my preferred text editor, although I often use Vim as well, especially if I am already in a terminal.

Which still leaves a lot of mystery to the "how did he get into this" question.

So... When I saw the kickstarter for the Titan I was excited. I have one in my desk but have never used it as my daily driver. I think the author really undersells how bad the out of the box experience is with this phone, sure Instagram stories look bad, I expected that. What I didn't expect is that almost all of the "optimized" apps that came pre-installed on the phone are poorly integrated with the screensize and keyboard. Furthermore, the keyboard is hard to type on! I mean physically, the keys are difficult to press down. I assume if I used this phone more frequently, this problem would resolve itself.

At the end of the day I don't regret buying the phone though. I have been an Android developer for around a decade and it's depressing how little experimentation is done with the hardware these days.

What makes you say this? As another comment points out, minimum wage is lower for restaurant workers in most (all?) states. How would a restaurant without tips outcompete in this system?

Oh how I wish I had volunteered cuz a year later basically everyone including me had quit anyway.
