You could put them up for free on Craigslist (or equivalent) and have people come to you that would put them to use. They might be opportunists but that might still be ok to allow circulation of the value that they do have.
Polly | Remote Canada or US | Sr Software Engineers | Full-time | https://www.polly.ai
Polly is a fast growing company that has one of the largest enterprise user bases in both Slack and Microsoft Teams. Our mission is to empower teams to measure and understand every aspect of their work, and we're doing it by bringing new levels of automation to the old way of running surveys.
We're looking for US/Canada remote full-time Senior Full Stack Engineers. We're a product-led company of 17 that supports millions of enterprise users. Come in and have significant impact on the product, the architecture, and the company. Our stack is Typescript/Node/AWS/Mongo, but for our candidates we don't care about your stack history, just your ability to produce clean, high quality code and solve complex problems.
We offer our remote employees a sweet hardware setup, budget for home office or a local coworking spot, and 99% of your insurance premiums covered for you and dependents. We also offer fully-paid 16 weeks of maternity leave.
Honestly, even though it has its problems, Meteor is relatively simple framework that will even spit out mobile apps for you. It's probably the least effort (i.e. lines of code) to get a halfway decent app out, and it's scaled ok well as time has gone on. It has a bunch of weird quirks though especially in how it manages data.
I was pretty surprised to see Zoe Lofgren's name pop up as an anti tax filing simplification advocate. She's the rep from CA's 19th District which covers San Jose (but not the rest of Silicon Valley) and generally a straight down the line liberal. This is not even Intuit's core district -- that would Anna Eshoo's 17th (previously 14th) district which covers Mountain View and Palo Alto. As a resident of this district, I guess I have something to write in about.
Despite being a 1Password user myself, it's great that there's now a top-tier service being offered for free! The $1/month option is pretty awesome too

While it's nice to have small on-disk containers for some applications (e.g. deployment pipelines/CI), for production, I've found that Alpine doesn't save you much in RAM. I'd love to see this become something people look at as well when evaluating base images. To me at least, this was a far more important constraint when running Docker in production.
It's great that Five Thirty Eight called out the lack of rigor behind these studies. Most of them are indeed shoddy. However, that's not to say that we don't have a pretty good general idea of what's good for you. Here's a pretty well-balanced article on the topic, with this awesome TL;DR:
The thing that always amazes me as I read about professional sports is how much mental strength and discipline is required by athletes. This story shows how much that mental strength is on the edge and susceptible to "injury", just like the physical skills.
"Salesforce is now working on as many $100m+ deals as it can try to close. Because once you adding > $1 billion in ARR a year, you need a few Really, Really Big Enterprise deals to move the needle. And a handful of $50m-$100m deals are, by definition, the new target to really move the needle at that scale.
Given that … does it make any sense to pursue the $9 a month market? Or the $2000 ACV market? I mean, not really. And Salesforce isn’t.
So the bottom 10% of this $10 billion market, or $1 billion, isn’t even being addressed by Salesforce."
Yeah, I think it's likely true in many affluent parts of the Muslim world that Ramadan, shall we say, enhances existing trends towards obesity. The irony is indeed morbidly amusing.
Nice to make your e-acquaintance. Counter-example: Fasted the last couple of years in a -20% calorie deficit. Did nap during the day, but then worked out right before iftar (dinner). It's not an uncommon regimen. Just like anything else with a n of 500M (+/- 200M depending on number of adults and sick/elderly), it's hard to make a generalization.
Personally though, it went fine in terms of productivity and energy. Trying to work out without that nap was pretty brutal but fasts are long enough to fit it in after work.
Definitely awesome first effort. Just keep on sharpening your skill and good things will happen. Mentoring will help accelerate your curve, which is what Recurse (or just a developer friend) can help with it. Good luck!
