I accidentally log out of HN all the time on mobile. The upper right corner is the logical and normal place but normally it's in a drop-down menu.

This sounds like contracting. It's a world I'm looking to get into as well. A friend recently suggested I try this service which has contracts as low as 10 hours a week. http://gigster.com

Does this mean that your device only works if nearby phones are running your app?

Talking to a therapist isn't a bad idea. For me, I discovered that my workaholism was based on an insecurity where I felt a need to constantly prove my worth through work successes. Working on that with a therapist was one of the most

It sounds like you're addicted to keeping in touch with work. I've been there and done that. This is a larger problem than vacations. It's a legitimate addiction likely rooted in some deeper issues. I would suggest you start

This sounds like a nice idea, but in a world where people have limited time off work, they're going to pay to get there the fastest way possible.

Can you modify a front end in an existing code base (as opposed to starting from scratch)? If so I'd suggest buying a starter template. The advantage is that you already have an opinionated design app to look at for examples on how to

I can see this being a lot more useful if it had positional tracking like air tags, but it's definitely still interesting for many applications like you suggested. I am curious how the data sending works. Can it transmit anywhere or do

It's going to be an uphill battle. eBay aggressively sides with the buyer. I had a similar thing happen where I had delivery confirmation and positive feedback from the buyers but they requested a refund from eBay about a month later.

"They are doing just enough in the office to keep up, then leaving work on time and muting Slack." Lol - the definition for "quiet quitting" is doing your job to expectations and leaving on time. So not overdoing your jo

Patents cover specific processes. You can do the same thing with another process. For example, there is a company that patented a dust bin fullness sensor. Their patent specifically says it uses an infrared range detector,alarms via a red s

Try to find a hobby that makes you social and a hobby that keeps you physically active. Could even be the same thing.

I don't like the term quietly quitting. I was always an overachiever at work, producing 10x the amount of other people. I've basically "quiet quit". I only work a few hours a week but I'm still producing a very acce

We have some actually legitimate ghost kitchens where I live that are good. We also have some shared kitchen spaces where you can pickup or order delivery from a bunch of different restaurants with a single order. It's just hard to fin

I started learning Java 20 years ago. I still use it for corporate work. Not my preference but lots of companies use it and I'm pretty good with it so why not.

There's nothing inherently wrong with ghost kitchens. A restaurant that only serves food for delivery is completely valid. The problem is when existing restaurants pretend they're a ghost kitchen. You order from a cool new chicken

There is a fantasy themed candle company that emails me daily. My god it annoys me, but I also I buy so many candles. At my day job, we did a test around sending more emails and longer emails. Initially the more we sent, the more our core m

Yeah, Starlink won't be the last step signal to your phone or laptop but we could potentially have cell towers connected directly to Starlink with no other wires going to them. Or your house/car/etc could have a Starlink dish

It's an interesting concept. Definitely a little odd - feels like it's trying to find a niche that may not exist. But I don't want to dismiss it. It seems like you could take this out in a short days bike/boat, camp, and

You need to relax your company culture. They're not working extra hours to just work more, they're working extra hours because they feel they feel like they have to in order to keep up. The most likely scenario is that you've

I'm in a large US city. I pay $70/mo for 1Gbit up/down with Google Fiber. I also pay $135/mo for Starlink for traveling use. I usually get about 125Mbit down and 10Mbit up.

Don't spend all your time heads down working. Programming is only half the job of being a developer. You have to communicate with your team and other teams. You have design reviews and code reviews. You have to attend meetings. You als

Heroku is on AWS. But I agree that making more components simple to use is helpful.

It makes sense from business perspective but I hate it. If they don't know who you are, they can't send you hyper targeted ads and make more money from you. They probably get a lot of people to sign in by blocking content so it&#x

This is my take. I build products that have the critical infrastructure be fairly simple and hosted completely on third party systems. The most custom part of my system is just the customer portal, which can go down without impacting the co

One of the best ways to talk to customers, even if you think you're an expert, is to assume you know nothing and ask dumb questions. It ensures you don't make a mistake assuming something false and it gives your customer the oppor
