Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that what you did was surreptitious. I meant, if other people have that idea before understanding the laws around recording conversations.

It’s always back to the problem of enterprise software catering to procurement managers. Slack made headway because it infiltrated from the bottom-up. Employees used it, probably sometimes surreptitiously, and once it had a lot of users it

Emotional support animals aren’t “ridiculous”. They actually have some positive impact on people’s mental health, eg those with PTSD. I do take issue with abuse of the regulations. Some beneficial medications can be used recreationally, and

At the very least, people might do some additional research before engaging in surreptitious “journalism”.

I worked on a food tracking PWA, and getting it to be useful offline was horrible. We’d have to hit the API at least once a day to grab commonly used foods and refresh our temporary cache. The data did not change at all... eggs don’t sudden

The “async-iness” of recipes had always thrown me off until I started coding more seriously. I used to think that the numbered steps represented logical sequences. Now I picture a sort of Gantt chart with multiple lanes of action sequences,

I started thinking about this when thinking of the United Nations. If the UN had become what it could have, we would have some sort of federal world system that could tackle things like climate change, etc. This same thing occurs at differe

I figured it out. Beto O’Rourke was in Cult of the Dead Cow hahaha. He also used to be in a post-hardcore band with a dude from At the Drive-In. How awesome can one person get?!

Good point. I will call him today and see how he’s doing. I’ll bring this up if it makes sense during our convo. Thanks!

One of my friends went to a psychiatrist for ADHD symptoms and he got diagnosed with depression. He was like, “I didn’t know I was depressed!”

I think this is an immune response by capital. If people don’t need multiple spaces for living, that has a big impact on the people who own property and land. Shifting to things like drone delivery, etc, which I think is a great idea, would

I think the point is that it should be mentioned in the media in general, not specifically here on HN.

I think the main problem is that some forecasts gave an overwhelming amount of “hope” for certain races. This costs real money, as political operatives make decisions on where to spend money based on these forecasts. The closer a race is, t

Maybe that data is not sufficiently relayed to people on the floor? It also misses theft, although that can eventually become an assumed rate.

Junior roles are really cheap, and the quality of what many people are achieving continues increasing. I think it has to do with the by dance of self/directed learning resources and improvements in boot camps and other programs.

I was a little confused (haven’t read the article) by your comment, but it made more sense if I read it as a response to this other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24952161 Not sure if you meant to reply to th

It would be awesome if there was a pre-populated example on the GitHub pages site. I’m on an iPhone Chrome right now and have no mp3s to try and the mic button didn’t do anything.

I’ve used it for API’s and syntax. For example, I have an entire GraphQL course turned into flashcards. I used screencaps of code so that it wouldn’t lose formatting.

Categorize your cards, and when you come back focus on the categories you want to work on. I think Anki allows tagging. I use Memrise and it allows you to split courses into different “chapters”, which all share the same course database. In
