Do you know about the maui tech meetup in kihei?


Yep, this was the first thing I checked! Brings backs memories!


What's the trick?


Put an item (e.g. a potion) on your belt. Then drop another item (e.g. a stack of coins) on the ground, then walk away a bit. Click on the coins on the ground, then the instant before it gets picked up, click on the potion. If you do it correctly, dropping the potion on the ground will drop a duplicate stack of coins instead.

Tip: an easier way to know if you've duplicated the coins is that when you pick up the potion, the bottom of your screen should say you've picked up coins.


We're hiring for Ruby/Rails. We're also hiring JS. I've used Ruby/Rails my entire career and don't plan on switching. Pay seems good. Definitely more JS jobs of course but I'm happy with what I'm doing and making. I bet you can pick it up in no time.


Would you consider sharing which company you’re speaking of (“we are hiring for Ruby/Rails”)

My email is in my profile.


Had a question and curious if you know. Could an updated_at column work theoretically better than a created_at column if there are some deletes and updates? Would updated_at be ordered as they are on disk?


I love Schwab but agree on the security front. They tried to push everyone to use their voice auth for phone verification. I want more security not less lol. I remember several years ago, they didn't support special characters in passwords. Hopefully that has chanced.


Not living in the US, if Schwab blocks Google Voice like PayPal did, I would be pretty SOL


I think you could find someone on codementor.io


You need a coach or a lot of discipline to learn how to safely clean. Deadlifts are still great. The previous comment about football teams takes other things into consideration. Like it's difficult to have great form for so many players and cleans are a power exercise. You'll see a lot of football players do trap-bar deadlifts because it's safer.


Are you a powerlifter? I feel like I've heard powerlifters shy away from deadlifts for what I'm sure are valid reasons. I can't think of why an olympic-style weightlifter would shy away from deadlifts. I think the best advice would be to get a good PT/coach/trainer.


I can't speak to powerlifting as it's never been my strong suit. I've likely only been to a handful of powerlifting meets and they only were for benchpressing.

Deadlifting as an exercise is actually one of the three main lifts in powerlifting. What makes the best powerlifters is a high total weight combination of Bench/Squat/Deadlift which is generally how it's judged in most competitions these days.

I think there's a small line between deadlifting and what weightlifters like us would call cleaning. A deadlift is a lower-back dominant exercise, to build power and strength there. A clean is a similar movement of getting weight off the ground and into the air, but is completely leg and upper-body dominant, with many, many other accessory movements in-between. This is why we see Crossfit athletes implement weightlifting into their training and why it is so popular today- because of the rewarding "total body" strength gains and cardiovascular fitness.


I’ve never met an elite lifter who would describe cleans as being completely leg and upper body dominant. That’s a very odd statement.


Surprised they didn't mention citext columns
