fshee | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What habits did you achieve this year?

- From sedentary to rock climbing quite frequently. Climbing has had the nice benefit of also:

    - Losing 15 pounds, gaining a few back in muscle.

    - Journaling of the experience outdoors (125 pitches worth!).

    - Making good friends.
- Near zero alcohol consumption.

- Regularly attending church.

fshee | 4 years ago | on: 1Password Has Raised $620M

I wouldn't assume the phrase is casting a value judgement.

I hear the phrase from time to time in aviation. "Have to sell the first plane" / "Doesn't pass the WAF" / "Wife thinks owning two planes it too expensive." I have no reason to believe these folks are not in a loving relationship.

Nothing to do with intelligence.

fshee | 4 years ago | on: A simple defer feature for C

Somewhat related: I hacked some macro up in gnu89 C to get a Go styled defer once upon a time. I felt bad for making my compiler course instructor review that code... Very convenient, though.

fshee | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you have to use LinkedIn to get hired?

No. When I attempted to create a LinkedIn a few years ago they flagged my account as spam and requested a photo ID. They will not get one from me.

GitHub under Microsoft also flagged a new-ish work related GitHub account as spam. They eventually reversed the suspension after four/five months. Luckily my day-to-day work does not have GitHub in the loop. On one occasion a co-worker did me a favor and submitted a PR for me.

* In LinkedIn's case I used some Czech in my profile. Maybe that made it seem suspicious.

* GitHub doesn't like when you delete a GitHub account, wait some amount of time, then create another GitHub account with the same email address.

fshee | 4 years ago | on: New record levels of private aviation flights

I would expect in the short term used GA aircraft prices will go up. That's certainly what's been happening. The Cessna 150 I began private pilot training in has sold twice since I've met it. Gaining almost $10,000 in the process.

Long term I hope we'll see more production of GA aircraft and used prices will go down.

fshee | 4 years ago | on: Go is a terrible language (2020)

Superficial. You prefer no braces, no underscores, and no colon. Typing is cheap. I don't mind 'em. Your second example has more implied than syntactical gripes.

    albums = append(albums, newAlbum)
implies immutability. I like that. The latter does not. I don't like that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

fshee | 4 years ago | on: Playdate pre-orders begin in July

I appreciate the ~decent <noscript/> textContent. Telling exactly what purpose(s) JavaScript serves helps make an informed decision on whether to open a graphical web browser or continue with w3m. (In this case, it was obvious I could read on about Playdate just fine.)

I've grown sick of create-react-app default <noscript/> textContent.
