Try and go for $100 MRR (pay for servers and some pizza). Big companies won't go for that. Try another idea (while still running the above). Go for $1000 MMR. Still too small. This is harder than you think and will teach you incredible

I just keep hearing all these people that preach this, but I don't see anything substantial (that isn't something stupid or a tutorial they followed from medium) that anyone responds with. e.g. of a meh: give me top 10 HN articles

I once shard a flat/apartment with a female social butterfly. She once gave me some great advice, which is to NEVER turn down an invitation. Going out and trying to be comfortable in non-ideal situations (i.e. you know hardly anyone th

When I go to tech meetups, I often see a great deal of people sitting alone using their phones, because interacting with people you don't know is scary. Try to resist! Yeah it's scary but most tech-heads are as nerdy/goofy as

Maybe go outside for a walk and look at nature? give your eyes a rest. (Assuming your working too hard). Really don't want to f.up your eyes!

I have a few drinks a week max, doesn't really bother me if I don't drink. A friend of mine revealed they have a drink with dinner (at home) every evening, sometimes more and they still go out drinking. I was pretty shocked. I thi

For those that want to know more context about his comments about race, it was based on a poll [0]. Make you're own mind up. YouTube is being unprecise with the start of link. Starts at 13m 20sec [0]: https://www.youtube.com

There's a lot of context around stuff he said. It seems to me that people are very eager to tag people with labels from others. I don't get the impression that others have seen many of his YouTube videos. It's valuable to may

Yeah this is what switched me. I was forever complaining about wall gardens and yet was too 'comfortable' with my macbook-pro as it was the best laptop period. I switched to a thinkpad x1-carbon and popos and never looked back. Su

PopOS is what I've picked (using it ~6 years). Their new distribution is called Cosmic (Wayland). They've moved away from Gnome to a rust based Iced.

My point is that it's tempting and irresistible (based on other comments in this thread) to move from basic attribute sorting, to basic CRUD, SQL queries, CSS/Tailwind, typescript error resolution then using it for Dijkstra, becau

“Action precedes motivation.” ― Robert McKain This seems to work for me at least. If I start trying to reason with myself why I should get out of bed at 5am to go to the gym rather than excuse XYZ, I will talk myself out of it. If I simply

I've always believed that the dozens of 'bitchy little issues' are the means to grow as a developer. Once you've done it, you'll hopefully never have to do it again (or at worse be derivatives). Over time you'l

Is this is for personal projects or work related? For personal, I say do what the hell you want. There's no point being deliberately miserable if you get so much enjoyment out of it. e.g. Build a compiler for BASIC that outputs LLVM by

With the new PopOS Cosmic and them dumping GNOME for their own UI framework based on Iced [0] (and based on rust), I have high hopes that things will move to more linux (especially for folks here who are rust-heads). [0]: https:/&#x2F

I agree with this, but for those newbies be careful at what you define as "failure". I've f.up my MCL by not listening to my body and I have the stability of a typical 85 year old while I try and 'heal'. It takes lo

Well I don't think residential kitchens are as chaotic as a commercial kitchen, so sure drinking out of a non breaking container is probably a good idea (glass breakage is a pita there). However most people (I assume on HN) are not lin

Whether you think that using plastic (deli) cups are a cause of all humanities health problems or not, you might want to use glass containers. They're reusable, microwavable (I believe that's a no-no for plastic, but who knows now

This thread is about people hacking on code that gives them pleasure and maybe some monetary reward. People enjoy discovering others work. Whether your project gets traction is sort of irrelevant. Personally I found this thread more interes
