I've been working remotely for over 20 years. ProTip: working remote does not mean working from home. Surround yourself everyday with the people you want. Go to coworking spaces, coffee shops, parks. Find fellow remote workers and host coworking sessions and your places.

There's a mall near my house that has a food hall that has become an informal co-working space. At one point, the coffee shop had a coffee day pass.

Before my team got a back to office order we had weekly meetings there.

Considering how malls are suffering I don't understand why they are not offering more options like this.

I can see how this can help get you a change of pace, but as someone who learned during the pandemic they don't like remote working nearly as much as they thought they would, isn't doing this every day just commuting to a worse office with extra steps?

I guess if your office is really awful or your commute is ridiculously long it might be better. But all the talk you see about why working at an office is so bad for people's productivity cite the noise, distractions, unrelated chatter etc. Co-working spaces filled with people who aren't even on your team, coffee shops filled with angry customers and stay at home parents toting their toddlers and parks full of barking dogs and biting insects seem like they would all be their own cacophony of distractions and noises to rival even some of the worst open office plans.

Also at least around where I am, co-working spaces cost between $100-500 / month, and the coffee at the coffee shops while better than what is at the office is also $3-5 a cup. The parks are admittedly free, but the ergonomics of the tree trunk and root system leave a little to be desired. I'm sure it works for some people, but if I'm not spending my day working on my front porch in the sun with my dog, I think I'd rather be in the office instead of in the corner of a local coffee shop.

CropSwapLA is in my neighborhood, they do amazing work! Just the fact that a single residential property can grow enough produce for 45 families _each week_ is astonishing. Their technology in their latest farm (https://www.cropswapla.org/degnan) is very special as well: they refer to it as terraponic. 100% recycled water, but also using some soil for temperature and moisture control. Best of both worlds between traditional farming and 100% controlled aquaponics farms. The growing boxes are entirely separated from the ground, which limits pests and maintenance. Nutrition is provided through the water, with exactly the right balance that the respective plants need.

Yes, I'm biased, I'm a big fan. Just wanted to share some highlights because I think the article doesn't do the amazing work of Jamiah and his team justice. I hope we get to see many more such micro farms all across Los Angeles and Southern California.

Which book is it?

Project Hail Mary

I drive an EV for over a year, I barely use the break any more. Single pedal driving is wonderful

Curious: How do you roll towards a red traffic light, do you somehow push a "neutral" button?

Just take the foot off the accelerator gradually.

The kia I drive still roll at a couple of km/h when accelerator is fully released and will not hit 0 unless you use a paddle by the steering wheel (or use the breaks).

Release the pedal. Car figures out where the next car or stop line is (I think. Even when you're not using radar cruise control).

You just slowly let off the pedal as you approach.

My kids are into superheros. We explained how vaccines are basically super powers! Now they are sad when they go to the doctor and don’t get one they also get all their friends and class mates pumped about vaccines which I take as a win

In a real sense, vaccinations are superpowers. Immunity from pestilence was historically taken, across cultures and for obvious reasons, as signs of divine influence.

I wouldn’t overthink it, it’s just a metaphor :)

I also don’t think that GraphQL will replace REST, the two work great side-by-side

Congratulations to the big release :)

As a primarily front-end developer, this is a gift from heaven. I'm part of team Hoodie so I'm biased of course, but I'll add this to all my existing and future projects now <3

Hoodie doesn't provide any email privileges in it's core. There is an email plugin that does that, but it's just a showcase and we would not recommend to use that in a production app. The plugin is maybe 10 lines of code, you can easily use that as base and put all the security in it that you would do in a REST API as well.

I'd be also very interested in your basic use cases that you think Hoodie couldn't handle. It would certainly be great input for the project.

"There is an email plugin that does that, but it's just a showcase and we would not recommend to use that in a production app."

You do realize that by putting it in your documentation, you're encouraging people to use it.

We also encourage people not to use Hoodie in production, yet :)

What @gr2m means: there is no reason Hoodie’s mail feature would work any different from a traditional web app. At some point a server side will validate a client request, and if valid, translate that into sending an email (Gmail comes to mind). Hoodie’s email plugin can do exactly that, except that today’s implementation is a mere sketch of that, like other parts of Hoodie, that show what can be done, but aren’t hardened against production use, yet. None of that means though that Hoodie behaves any differently from a security/abuse/DOS perspective than any other web app :)

Thanks for confirming my crosspost :) However, as I was just saying, wouldn't it be nice to clearly see that we're talking 0.x directly on the website and not only when we install the npm package?

EDIT: Thanks for your answer, I am going to stop crossposting now :D

To be fair they are still working on 0.x, they probably don't recommend the whole thing to be used in production (although I personally wouldn't mind for some specific projects...). At this stage, I understand they just want to showcase some cool stuff. This being said, we should always be really careful about security when using dependencies, especially when it's in beta, and especially when mostly everything is done client side. It would be also nice if something more explicit was mentioned on the hoodie website. Like the last release version for example (0.x).

Yeah, we are working on a website redesign that addresses this. So much to do, so little time :)

Our goal is to lower the barrier of entry to build fully capable applications. While using the simple email plugin is not a good idea in a production app, there is no problem to use it with an app that runs on your computer only, or in your companie's intranet.

I know this is nightmare to system architects / backend developers at first sight, but trust us, we know exactly what we are doing. We have excellent architects on our team, you just might not be our primary target group here.

But thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!
