Also 500 for me. This is almost a joke. At least if it's blocking me from viewing the tweet's comments, returns me some decent messages. But no, just a plain "Something went wrong." like a hackathon page.

Definitely join a Fediverse (e.g. Lemmy, Mastodon)! You can host an instance, but still "linked" to other instances and communities so you won't feel isolated.

Well, I read HN daily at breakfast so having it down feels annoying. But yeah, if it'down, I won't consider it an emergency.

It's still at the early days, so give it some times. But there are already some lively communities and, IMO, they are generally better in terms of quality since Fediverse is more niche and has higher barrier of entry.

The ideal time to nap is 18-25 minutes as you said, but I find it hard to fall asleep at the "right" time. So it's always a trouble to set the alarm for me.

Now as I'm working from home, taking is daytime nap is way much easier. Also I used to take a nap right away after lunch, but it's not good for my digestive system. So I usually wait 2-3 hours after lunch to take my nap.

Lemmy is the closest thing to Reddit. The community is small now, but it's growing exponentially due to this Reddit protest and migration. I'm looking forward to see its future. It's a bit confusing at first for new joiners t

Lemmy! I've been checking it out lately and people are moving popular subreddits to Lemmy's servers. It's a bit confusing at first but once you get it, it works like email. And it's... fantastic! But I'll wait for t

HN is just for tech. Sometimes I want to discuss non-tech topics. Nowhere is better than Reddit IMO. Discord and chat apps have so many noises that I always feel overwhelmed to keep up with the flow of chatting.

Yeah, sites like Reddit (or Youtube) makes me believe there is still hope in (knowledgeable) social media. But the situation right now in Reddit is purely chaotic.

Someone said "Brain is for ideas, not for storage". So I learned to not try to remember everything, but to compact them to indices (in a digital notebook - Orgmode in my case). When I need information, I simply search the index an

I learned a tip to not feel "guilty" for resting in the evening or at weekends: resting is also a part of the work. It allows the body to prepare energy for the next working session, much like exercising.

With modern and trendy music, should we listen to old and classical music. Should we forget the history? I think not. My favourite genres are Jazz and classical. Sorry if you don't get the metaphor, but it's like so.

Thank you again for your calm writing. I'd prefer reading this to constant rushing technological news.

If you keep tolerating BS then the BS will keep coming. That's why quality subs need moderators in the first place.

Well, it depends! Because what you need to see more often is errors. You don't want successful notifications "spam" more often than error notifications.

It's a supplementary, I'd say. From my experience, I learn more from a structured material (aka courses, books) and structured process (aka working in a company). But I often get the motivation and knowledge from unstructured mate

I don't exactly know where this Shorts trend came from (I guess Tiktok?) but it really destroys the generation / has bad impact. My attention span is encouraged to shrink to only 15 seconds.

Thank you for your recommendation. I'm tired in the world of marketing when everyone is trying to invest in click bait instead of making good contents.

Makefile is like Bash. It's effective, ubiquitous and pleasant to work with simple logic. In my case, if I need to scale to a more complicated problem, I would use Rakefile and Ruby (in replace of Makefile and Bash).
