(I'm not saying this applies to you at all, but you made me think of it) One thing EVE taught me is that some games provide more enjoyment the more you put into it. For me, I had to play 'hardcore' in EVE to really start to h

When it comes to design, I find organizing and structuring content particularly challenging compared to things like font size, spacing and color choice. eg. Given a list of items to display - should I create a grid of cards, a list, or a ta

I think you may be unintentionally misinterpreting some of the items you've quoted. 1) Layoffs != Hiring frenzy. A company can slow or stop hiring but also not do layoffs. It's actually a common way to downsize softly. 2) Most of

Yes. Or at least take zero pay/bonuses until they can turn the company around.

I have a couple questions: 1) How is TikTok worse than other social media apps? Both in terms of privacy and "the algorithm". 2) What another country's government does with my data is far less important to me than what my gov

You could also, if you wish, audit the telemetry events and determine if it's worth turning off - or decide that it's okay with you that they're using that data to improve their free product. https://code.visualstu

We made the change company-wide a few months ago. No reduction in pay, employees are able to choose their 32-hour schedule based on their needs. Some people take off Mondays, some Fridays, some work 5 days but shorter hours. We're just

I agree, and that's why my comment targeted news that has 'little to zero impact on your life'. "Believe me it is better to understand the balance-sheet of one's own life than of the corn trade." - Seneca

You consider JSON to be more verbose than XML? I'm curious to hear why.

Reading news that will have little to zero impact on your life takes away time you can spend doing more meaningful activities. It doesn't just have to be 'work'. It can be hobbies, spending time with your kids, whatever you w

A lot of adults watch them with their children, I don't see anything wrong with that. I am confused why this is on HN though. Pretty sure it doesn't meet the 'What to Submit' guidelines.

I just write them out each morning in a notes app (along with my standup notes). Anything that I didn’t get to / anything still pending, I’ll write them again the next day. It works really well for me, as it keeps even older todos in m
