The year you saw that must have been when Assembly was still held at a school? I was one year too late to be there, but saw it at the next Assembly when someone I met there was in disbelief upon hearing that I hadn't seen it and insist

I’m still making almost all of my income from Candy Japan, which is a Japanese candy subscription service that I launched many years ago as a HN post. The shutdown halted international shipping from Japan to over 100 countries, so I’ve had

For web links I just don't store them anywhere. If I want to go back to something, I either google for it again or possibly search my browser history. For random thoughts I have a flat text file (4MB currently) to which I just append.

My story exactly. Played around with Amos, was interested in assembler but it wasn't practical to get into it. I went to the library and could only find one manual about game programming tricks (not the basics) in 68000 asm, but it was

I was playing Minecraft with my son, and besides clicking on things, it also has some commands that you can type in to change blocks. For example you can fill rectangular areas with the same block. I got curious about whether you could comp

Culturally there is very little physical contact. Bowing instead of handshakes being the big one. No kisses on the cheek as greeting. In general, more refrain when it comes to touching. Also widespread mask use. On the flip side though we h

In step 2 I was just making progress when I felt like studying, so many days might pass between reading about some new concept and then needing to apply it. By that time I might have already forgotten some, and progress felt so slow that it

Felt like playing with Twilio, and not having released anything in a long time, I thought I'd push myself to finish something. Since I happened to need to send & receive a fax, but didn't like to commit to a longer subscriptio

I solved this by just buying all the high school math textbooks and going through those on my own. I preferred this way, because it lets you have the same background as everyone else. In attempt #1 I was jumping ahead to read the interestin

Our post office has a shipping discount, where you get 10% off all of your shipments you've sent during the month if you send 1000 packages or more. Once you get near this limit, you get into the perverse situation where it makes sense

Even though I was both a user and familiar with developing on the platform, I remember thinking it overvalued when I saw people offloading their private shares at a 10 billion valuation. Now valued at 60 times that. I didn’t doubt it would

I've been in Japan for 10+ years and only speak my mother tongue of Finnish while talking on the phone with my parents. Very little loss, doesn't feel awkward, but I sometimes forget very rarely used words. If I have a half an hou

I don't have "movies of thoughts and images playing in my head" in waking life, but I do start having visual dreams. But I've only once been able to actually observe them beginning, usually I just wake up in the morning

Can relate to that ”moment of struggle”. Thinking about stopping the use of any dev tools that don’t have instant feedback, as having to wait a few seconds for something (currently deploying to google app engine mostly) makes me instantly a

I've had trouble falling asleep for a long time, and at some point years ago started taking ambien for it. It took a long time to realize just how strong an impact it was having on me (could write a long blog post about it). Stopping w
