Dev trying to branch out from object-oriented programming. In my free time, I love using my skills to work with the arts, broadcast, and quantitative analysis.

FastAPI is a joy to use. Tried using `bump-pydantic` and it worked flawlessly. Thankful for the work by this team.

You could include it in a hobbies section or something at the bottom. Most hiring managers would not view it as a relevant accomplishment.

I'm interested to know if you still think the title is great after you get the article to load. Of course it caught my attention, but after reading it I was left with a, "wait this is a horror story?" feeling. I suppose to many this seems like a huge vulnerability, but if we treat everything with these extreme sentiments, then nothing will actually be treated with special attention. Conversely, if no articles are given these sorts of titles, maybe no one will click them.

I have the 55" TCL and it's great! Reminds me of the early Vizio days where they had to be priced closer to production cost in order to compete with bigger players. My one con is that the HDR doesn't seem perfect. The blacks don't seem "true black" and based on the comparison lower on the page I wonder if this is because it's not "Dolby Vision HDR"

Go into it with a grain of salt, but https://reddit.com/r/personalfinance is a good resource. The sidebar and recurring themes in posts are really useful. Additionally https://bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page is a good starting place for putting together an investment portfolio.

https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-summer-reading/ is the link to last year's. Anyone else sites would make their URLs consistent? It's always pleasant when you can go to the URL and change the 2017->2016 and it takes you where you want to go.

> The options for payment were Bitcoin and Western Union; since I’m neither a Russian hacker nor a Dark Web impresario, I opted for the latter.

This is so frustrating for me to read. Western Union has its own set of problems and its users throw money away on fees, but why is cryptocurrency being thought of as a only being used by Russian Hackers and Dark Web impresarios?
