You won't be able to use your phone as a remote, or to enter passwords, but other than that, there would be no frustration.

To further point out the stereotyping in this thread, take a look at the announcement thread of the tesla cybertruck and compare the sentiment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21602437 ). Not to mention that the cybertr

Admittedly, limiting the free plan by posts was the laziest way I could keep from giving everything away for free. As the app matures, I'll be adjusting plan features and pricing to match what the market desires. Thanks for your honest

I appreciate your honest feedback, so thank you. The free plan is pretty locked down right now. I haven't really had the bandwidth to fine tune it so I wanted to start out more strict and loosen up, rather than going the other directio

Thank you! These are great questions > Why S3 rather than an entirely free service like netlify, github pages, or surge? I wanted to start with something that was simple and scalable. At one point I tried using github for hosting, but ma

Probably overkill, but I'm pretty happy with how my dotfiles are managed now. I commit everything to my dotfiles repository and use chef to install things and manage dependencies. It's easy to support another OS by adding a cookbo

I have one set up as a sprinkler timer ( https://github.com/callahanrts/sprinklers ). Scheduling my sprinklers with cron jobs gives me a lot more flexibility over water times. It also runs a local webserver so I can turn

I've had the same struggle forever, but I finally feel like I've found a pattern that works for me: Find enjoyment in the daily struggle. For exercise: I've found riding a bicycle to work to be my least hated form of exercise

That looks pretty sweet. I'll have to try it out.

Awesome! I have images uploading to s3 at the moment. They get uploaded to /assets. I'm planning on some simple media management as well. It also enables a cloudfront distribution with the bucket.

With all my frustrations with medium, I decided to build a desktop app--for myself, and maybe to monetize later. It's basically the medium WSYWYG editor combined with a static site generator that automatically hosts on S3. Out of curio

Reno, NV is growing a lot. Primarily engineers go to IGT or Bally’s and work with slot machines, but the tech scene overall is growing. We have a great CS department at UNR and school is fairly cheap here. Taxes are low, but cost of housing

I've never experienced this with typing, but I can definitely see how the amount of time it takes to complete a task can cause even more delay. For example, long page refresh times in development can take so long that I switch thoughts

Thanks for writing this. It's encouraging to read about others' experiences using Elm in production. After a couple small side projects in Elm, I'm finally using it in a few low-risk areas at work.

As far as I've researched, no. GDPR is open to the sorts of tracking that is used to make your product better. In the case of google analytics, you're watching for aspects of your product or blog that are doing well so you can pro

It's totally reasonable to push people towards their music service and there's nothing inherently wrong about doing it this way. However, it feels a little strange to see a company weaponizing advertisements in their marketing str

Great idea! Any ideas for expansion? I imagine you could map rows/columns to a bootstrap-like grid system for more custom layouts.

This is absolutely true. Here's one of Jim's other builds that's sitting in our office. It's a steam powered car on a Model A frame. He and one of our other engineers are getting pretty good at this. https://w

Near end of life procedures? A friend in health care told me 60% of one of our biggest hospital's costs go toward end of life (patient will die within weeks) treatments. Understandably, people request all the most expensive procedures

I originally created this out of the frustration of running `dc down` on our MySQL docker container--which wiped my development database almost daily. After I realized why my volumes were getting destroyed all the time, I've still foun

A while back I was using a tour library in ways it likely wasn't meant to be used (I wanted steps to go in and out of an iframe embedded on my page). Being frustrated with the difficulty of customizing this library, I decided to create
