I saw my grandpa the night before he passed. I asked him if he wanted my wife and I to stay or go and let him sleep. His last words to me were "Just let me sleep".

I used to engage in a lot of yak shaving (needless refactors, redesigns, etc), but I never actually shipped anything. I was tired of having a big pile of unfinished projects, so I forced myself to take a more waterfall-y approach to some sm

Okay, you've calculated the cost. But people aren't just going to sit on that money. They're going to spend it. Even if they keep their existing jobs, a large population having more disposable income stimulates growth in that

You can't alt+tab to it and offline support isn't there. Not sure if there are any global keyboard shortcuts for quick/easy note capture, but if so, those wouldn't work in the web app either.

This is pretty similar to what YADM does, except that the repo lives in ~/.yadm and the cli has some facilities for encrypting/decrypting sensitive files. It also has the capability of running a bootstrap script when you first pul

It's so worth it. +1 from another happy reader.

I would be super interested in collaborating on this. Are you thinking that it would be written in the open + allow contributions from others?

I rented office space for a while. It was pretty worth it. I much prefer having a room of my own at home though. If I'm going to work remotely, I want to reap the benefits. For instance, I can cook healthy food for lunch and not have t

Really? People are plenty productive on a single monitor every day. I have no idea what you do or who you work for, but it seems like "need" might be a bit of an exaggeration.

I don't think web vs non-web makes a difference for whether or not you should choose a type-safe language. IMO, you should err toward type safety whenever possible. It's way nicer for your toolchain to catch errors before a user d

It may surprise you to hear that I don't disagree with any of your points. The software is probably not even worth downloading, much less using. However, you seem to be conflating arguments about the quality of their software and wheth

Again, I think the translation barrier may have been a big part in the specific phrasing even if they were intentionally being blunt. I don't speak dutch and can't say definitively if that's the case, but I have spent a lot o

You know, I just read that whole thread, and I don't see a problem. Maybe they were being jerks about it, or maybe some of that nuance was lost in translation. However, software licensing is a legal issue and legal issues are usually p

I've been using Migadu for a while and I'm extremely happy with it. Might be something to consider.

Dokku is excellent and does all the heavy lifting for what OP was asking for. For the UI, https://github.com/intercity/intercity-server is a good way to go ( https://intercity.io/ has some screenshots a

I tried building something with xulrunner a while back and the experience was awful, IMO. I was up and running with Electron within an hour. xulrunner may be a superior technology, but if it's a PITA to work with, then nobody is going

shrug I learned to code very young and played with it off and on throughout my school career. If I hadn't done that, I don't know that I would have chosen software engineering as a profession.

While I generally agree with the point that teaching problem solving is valuable in itself, my life would be far different if I didn't know how to write code. I have a number of friends that are exceptionally good at problem solving, y

There are a number of satellites with publicly available downlinks (think NOAA weather sats). I'm curious about why I'd need to register that NORAD ID with my AWS account to be able to receive that data - is it just so that the or

They're obviously different things, but that's not the point I was making, now was it? The point is, what actually delivers value is that the core functionality of whatever you're building can be smarter. The fact that it&#x2

Sadly, this is a lesson that I learned more directly than I would have liked. Hopefully OP learns from a helpful HN comment instead. I imagine it's a much easier path.
