Tangential ask HN: what is a good Linux desktop to do app that supports monthly recurring tasks (I have some accounting stuff that I need to remember to do every month). I’ll use for daily adhoc tasks too, but any app (or pencil and paper)

On iPhone SE (2nd gen) the bottom is cut off and I can’t see the goal image. Neither the bottom two buttons. Also can’t scroll.

Ron Gilbert said on Twitter that they are considering MI3 canon, so not sure this affirmation is still true.

I don't like PRs, code reviews, or HN polls

A better link (IMO) without all those ads getting in the way of reading the article: https://www.upf.edu/en/home/-/asset_publisher/1fBlrmbP2HNv/c...

I think of prototype as something to show that you can build something. No end user uses a prototype. End users use MVPs. I agree with GP

Your criteria for “high demand graduates” is getting into a “FAMGA job or similar”?

Most conclusions in this sort of articles are BS, so “no conclusions” is what drove me to read the article after reading your comment. I liked it and I didn’t find it light on content. It’s short, sure, but good ratio of ideas per word in m

Also, Closed Captions always describe sounds and lines of background dialog (like TV) that I definitely can’t hear in the sound. As a non-native English speaker who can hear I often see movies and shows with English audio and English closed

I don’t think that causality is correct. I find hard to imagine that people read her other post several hours later, went back to the thread about her original post, and upvoted the positive comments.

This is a great example for something that I always advocate: Don’t react to early responses on a HN thread. Wait a few hours (a day?) to really have a feeling of what people are saying as a community. In this follow up she is answering a l

How did you find that connection? Is there some known association or was just trial and error on yourself?

If there is anyone out there who would have to google it as well: CISO means ”Chief information security officer”

I found it hard to. But it didn’t plan, I was going kind of trial and error. I found this 4 steps solution after certainly more than 50 tries

For me (and the culture of the 3 companies that I worked), standups were about collaboration, no micromanagement. Far from it, btw. Your conversation above just sounded arrogant for me.

I only have 5 years of experience as a dev, but I just never was offered a contract where I couldn’t create side projects on my own time and on my own equipment. I never worked for a company that wanted to have IP of everything I did. So th

Maybe you should renegotiate those IP clauses or find a new job that doesn’t have them. It seems to be the main blocker for you to do what would make you happy.

I did a bad job writing it, but I am not conflating fact and opinion, I explicitly said that I could be wrong, and that we have no way to know who is wrong. I should have worded it better to mean that the quoted part is not “non-debateable

I used “regular” because the author used the word “regular” to imply that any regular would agree with him. I wanted to state that I am a regular and I disagree. I used the word “imply” above, because in the text the author only explicitly

I meant to say that I disagree completely with the specific part that I quoted above. That those comments are upvoted. And I explain my view right after to show that I have a diametrically opposite view on that affirmation. And I don’t thin

Do you think my comment was toxic? Edit: if so, is there any edit you would suggest that I could explain my disagreement without being toxic?
