   I see many different iterations of HN "clients/fontends/apps" posted here, this is by far my fav, and the first one I have bookmarked! The hjkl keybindings made my day :)

   Oh, wow! This brings back a wave of nostalgia. This is great! If only you could get some haptic feedback happening, it would be the icing on the cake.

   Jeff Geerling did a blog post[0] and video (series) on this very thing a while ago that goes into some of the hardware and costs. Whilst the costs can be negligible, it looks like a hella lot of fun! [0] https://www.jeffgeerling.

    My first job while at Uni was at a record store, aptly named “rare records”. It always surprised me the random shit (usually with equally random cover art) that used to sell for big dollars.

    Hey, another another person who started “later” in life checking in. I’m 36 but started when I was around 29. The common theme here seems to be “grew up around computers but fell into a different career” My start was working for a company i

    Takes a while (30~ sec) on Chrome to load, but I don’t think it’s broken. If the author is here, maybe chuck a spinny wheel somewhere in your JavaScript Ajax request.

    You wouldn’t be the first, I swear I’ve seen an episode or 2 of Air Crash Investigations where some unsuspecting pilot forgets to retract the flaps, causing something disastrous.

    I’ve replied to someone else regarding Odoo, but the CRM addon has this as a default workflow. You can define a pipeline for different sales teams and track sales from leads all the way to acquisition/customer. From there on you can pr

    Loooong time reader and first time poster. Everything you mentioned (aside from the business card reading) can be done with Odoo and the CRM addon. You can set up email aliases for different teams which allow you to cc or bcc correspondence
