For people that are looking for a nice search TUI, may I point you to Googler. It's made by the author of NNN and a couple other fantastic terminal tools. Highly recommend. It's amazing how clean you can make the interface https:

I'm going to give a fun alternative example. I used to run some popular publishing websites around entertainment: gaming, movies, tech...etc. I talked to our first users entirely through our message boards, which had PM systems built i

I was talking with a friend who worked at IBM in the heyday. He mentioned that a lot of the time, it wasn't so much that talent got used, it was that talent was not used elsewhere. Stiffing innovation is just as effective as breeding i

For the most part yes. I think it's also harder because Facebook, YouTube and Reddit pretty much ate up community message boards. My original premise was that any magazine in an Airport had enough community to build a website around. W

Unfortunately I'm not a good person to ask. I didn't own a car at the time, which was part of the problem :D

I once started a social network around car culture. It did OK, and we got an exit offer, but decided to pivot to something else (which was the right move). Anyways, the way we got our early users was nontraditional. We went in person to car

I play a lot of Digital Combat Simulator, which models a lot of these planes. At first I was interested in shooting things, then I was interested in the flying, but in the end I learned I was most interested in the computer systems and how

3 months ago I made the switch to Linux (manjaro) with i3. I currently run off an Intel NUC, which works perfectly fine, but I have a Thinkpad now on the way. I figured I'd do a writeup because I'm a designer and that makes me a l

This might be true. I need to the two things out of my bar at the moment: (a) going to those 10 sites i always go to very quickly (b) to run a search on some linux/css/react thing. Chrome does really well there, no matter what con

Nice to see NoClip getting some love on HN. I'm an unabashed Danny O'Dwyer fan and I think this community would enjoy all of NoClip's work if this is your first taste. His docs cover quite a few behind the scenes stories that

Mostly it's a combination of tools. We write a lot of custom color functions (using Sass). You can check the src here[0]. A common one we'll use is makeHighContrastColor(), which given two colors will automatically make the first

I don't work on Chakra, I lead the team that builds Elastic's design library[0]. We take accessibility pretty seriously. In general this means: - We make sure tab order and keyboard control is a equal level citizen. - All our colo

I read East of Eden every couple years. I find it settles me and makes me believe in the goodness of Humans every time I read it.

I actually think this is excellent advice right now. I would add the caveat that I would target contributing to OS software that is maintained by a large company, not an individual. There are lots of them floating around. This is by far the

Somewhat related. I highly suggest the Goyo plugin for Vim if you want distraction free writing. https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim

Sorry for seeing this late. Basically, iTerm allows you to send Escape sequences and even Vim special characters. Here's a screenshot http://snid.es/d156c6b7deea In mine, under profiles/keys, I've set ⌘s to [

I was one of those vim users that was stuck on MacVim for years because my brain was too wired to hitting "cmd-s" for save and other dedicated app niceties. I mean, sure I can :w or bind it to another key, but there are a couple s

I work on Elastic's UI[1][2], which is Apache 2 licensed. We look a little different than Ant, and are more tailored to data projects and content creation since we use it for Kibana. That means we have lots of tables, autocompleters, s

As an anecdote. I once received something like this (on Twitter of all places). It was a "you probably don't remember me but..." for someone I'd passed on a decade ago. It really touched me and made me sit down and refle

I agree, it's always been there to a degree, but it wasn't completely out the window till around that moment. For example. Gamespot used to keep their preview and review departments separate for a long time. It was thought to be a

That's very nice of you to say. For what it's worth we saw quite a bit of this coming, which is why we focused so much on shifting towards an audience support model. My biggest concern with the whole enterprise was making sure the
