They should have built the site in Tailwind...


different product. those that use superhuman swear by it. I don't have the email load to justify it, but if I did I'd try it out.


It's clearly the same product, but it seems they turned it off after the backlash: https://www.engadget.com/2019-07-03-superhuman-email-pixel-t...


by sublime of x, you mean 'no longer as cutting edge as it used to be'? Used it for years, but had problems locating my license when transferring computers. Moved to vscode and haven't looked back.

Same with the original paid version of BSD. Lost an ethernet card on a Friday night, had to deal with license BS or just go install FreeBSD.


so again, which countries?


Many, many countries don't have KYC/AML laws as strict as the US. If you want specifics, I encourage you to look into it.


Countries like...? You must have a source or some knowledge backing that statement?


yet infinitely easier to spend.

bad data. paa.com is not available.


I did see that, according to whois it was registered today, and the OP said that he refresh daily, so probably some lucky guy got it.


It was dropped (mistakenly) by CSC Corporate, caught by Dropcatch: https://www.dropcatch.com/domain/Paa.com


as safe as it ever was


If they're sufficiently motivated to want the job, they will jump through the hoops.

If the job's not worth it to the candidate, they won't complete the task.

Easy.


Or they're selecting for people who don't have many options.


Isn’t this the same thing people who like whiteboard interviews say? “We know Leetcode is a hoop and the most motivated will grind 200 leetcode problems”


Thinking like this loses you candidates who are applying to multiple places. It's so hubristic to think that your job couldn't possibly be equally desirable to others.


Good luck finding remotely decent candidates without an extraordinary offer at the end of significant unpaid work.

Remember, it's a two way process; any candidate worth their salt is interviewing the company.

If the candidate is worth it to the company, they won't expect them to jump through absurd hoops, and will treat them with at least a professional minimum of respect.


That just exposes our different view of where the bottlenecks are - you believe there are a limited number of coders who are up to the task - I believe there are less opportunities than 'adequate to the task' coders.

Which is true? Nobody really knows.


That's a fair point regarding balance wrt jobs/devs though the general market would seem to indicate good devs have no problems getting jobs.

But I don't see how it carries over to companies expecting a huge investment from a developer up front (a week's work, unpaid!), without some major positive differentiator from the other companies requiring decent devs.

That isn't going to appeal to any developer with options.

What's the upside, why would they invest that time - just go to the non-presumptive company next door.


So... TL;ADHD

I'll admit, I skimmed it. But I bookmarked it!

How many bookmarks do you have left to read?


I can't count that high ;)


Running Catalina, with sudo I'm able to get the screen up and running, but at first data I get a panic:

thread 'display_handler' panicked at 'overflow when subtracting durations', src/libcore/option.rs:1185:5 note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace.


I'm not surprised about OS X, recent OS versions have been making it more and more different from how the OS previously worked. For example GDB doesn't work anymore, and neither does valgrind.


> neither does valgrind

Woah, that's a huge step backward. How do they expect anyone to write half-decent C for their operating system without valgrind?
