I think I understand what it does and it looks interesting and appealing. My team would need Ruby support. Not sure if you'll be able to connect the graph properly in Ruby, but it might still be useful.

Most posted job positions in the US, that I see, explicitly state they will not sponser candidates. But how receptive are they to TN visa candidates and do you see that attitude changing in the near future?
midnightmonster · a year ago
The law firm I work for (as lead software engineer) did the TN thing for a Canadian software engineer hire for my team last year. [I was not involved in the paperwork but] my understanding is we got an immigration lawyer to help us write everything the right way, since we had not done it before (and lawyers specialize), and it was not especially expensive and it all worked out quite quickly.

Remarkably clear, straightforward, and useful material.

Ordered, and I'm grateful you showed HN. One of my teenage sons is a brilliant improviser, and I'm thrilled at the idea of having a plug-and-play way to capture what he plays.
midnightmonster commented on Ask HN: Is anyone working at least 4 hours daily on an Apple Vision Pro?    · Posted by u/widenrun
midnightmonster · a year ago
I have done, and I’m pretty comfortable working for hours in it, but I generally only use it for work when I’m away from my home office, so nowhere close to daily.

midnightmonster commented on Anger is eliminated with the disposal of a paper written because of provocation   nature.com/articles/s4159... · Posted by u/geox

According to the paper setting the letter aside did not subdue anger in the participants. The anger subsided in those who threw it away or shredded it.

...did not subdue anger in the participants _as much as throwing it away did_.

Just writing it down and filing it also seemed to help, just not as much.

midnightmonster commented on Ask HN: How hard is it to find a job after trying to start your own thing    · Posted by u/jklein11
midnightmonster · 2 years ago
This might just be the sort of people and companies I hang out with, but at my last gig two of the other three developers on my team had failed startup founder in their career history. Ditto the product manager at my current role and some chunk of my local tech friends. Job market is always changing, but it hasn't been an obstacle for people I know, and when hiring I see it as something to talk about but not likely to be a problem.

midnightmonster · 2 years ago
I was glad to have the opportunity to try it, and I’ll probably try it again, but I only made it two minutes into my five minute singing bowls immersion before I got too annoyed with the experience and stopped. (I’m easily annoyed with meditation, too, fwiw.)

This is cool! Re: multiple aggregates in one query, I wrote a Ruby gem that adds an even-more-powerful and multi-database-compatible version to ActiveRecord. (I have tested Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite; others probably work, too.)
