Prefer a software engineer with a passion for golf and some experience with golf tech. RoR and iOS dev a plus. Our small team of three is innovating in the indoor golf space, which is booming. Email ron at domain above, reference HN in subject.


Yes. They need overflow-x: hidden and text-overflow: ellipsis on the post title div.


Better solution is adding `word-break: break-all;` to the `a` tag for .storylink class.


Just some quick feedback on your mobile site with iPhone Safari:

“Send a clients” typo on home page. Client should be singular.

Pricing page: not clear I could swipe plan cards to right. When attempting to swipe, could not get second card to come into view. Recommend letting them flow beneath.


Thank you for the feedback! Will fix this shortly


I’d say that’s solidly on-topic, and was more damaging to my business than the previous outtage.


“Killer Technology” - the Tesla marketing team is going to use that now.


Software is “eating the world,” as they say, and selling blue jeans and pick axes to gold miners is a perennially solid way to make money.


The tool in his right hand is a standard dental probe explorer, used for measuring gum depth, and the one in his left is a dental mirror. Pretty standard stuff. Safety glasses look legit too. (source: am retired dvm)


What’s the pricing? What speech-to-text engine is being used?

Clicking on the Sign Up button on iOS Safari does nothing.

Clicking on the Get Started button takes me to an Upload Video form - not what I expected from a mp3-to-text service.


Apparently you're limited to 50 MB for free, which is pretty short if you can't send audio files but only videos.


I’m a retired DVM. What you say is true, but I just want to caution anyone reading this that ivermectin is deadly for collies and many herding breeds. Rule of thumb is “white feet, do not treat.”


Thanks for the tip, I wasn't aware. Is this something I should flag to my vet? I have a herding breed dog but afaik the vet never did an ACB1 test. My dog has been taking the medicine for a long time though.


Good cautionary note, thanks. Yes, please, anyone looking to go this route should do their research first - I'm not kidding about the tiny doses required, they sell very dilute solutions for use in very large animals; a little dog potentially needs less than a drop!


Please don’t be offended, but I find this absolutely fascinating. Abstractly I know veterinary science is at least as complex as anything involving humans. But somehow I tend to dismiss just how much variability a veterinarian is expected to be able to account for.


please don't be offended but if you find yourself saying "please, don't be offended", LPT, you can generally reword what you are about to say so it's simply a compliment instead of containing the negative messsage.

You are impressed by how much variation a veterinarian must account for in a single species, and they handle multiple species.


The “offended” would be “sometimes, I dismiss” – there's no way to re-word that to be less offensive (even though it isn't particularly offensive, I wouldn't think) without omitting it entirely.


Maybe he was about to write something else! Or word the same thing differently...


I would imagine veterinary medicine is more complex than humans. Vets operate not just on different species, but on different different branches of the animal kingdom tree (reptiles, mammals, birds). But I guess maybe vets also specialize?


It wasn’t just the length of the email body they changed in the 3rd variant... they also changed the subject line from “Welcome to Netlify” to “Question...”, but that change wasn’t mentioned as a potential contributor to the good result.

I’m betting that change resulted in a big increase in open rate. I’m conditioned to ignore “Welcome to AcmeCo”-style emails.


FWIW I'm also conditioned to ignore emails that are vague. Honestly, at this point I assume any unsolicited communication is a spear phishing attempt until proven otherwise.


Agreed. Extending on /u/formerly_proven point, I think the third variation - where the subject changes - makes the email feel like it's coming from a real human even more.


I think so too. The second test had the same subject line in both emails, though, and the body length was the only variant.
