I just published a first version of a gateway that redirects to the correct proxy/frontend

https://yups.io

The "official" syntaxis is

But it is very flexible to manage errors

Almost all the descriptions have a simple answer: Mastodon :)

However, I think we should come back to IRC it gave us so beautiful moments.

Lol Trump can't understand that he can't charge tariffs to an specific EU country. He is a big moron and his voters the little morons.

Nevermind, I hope he changes his mind and set a 1000% instead 10 so we can broke relations with such a stupid government. USA is following steps that Germany already took and its citizens are responsible of its crimes.

Today I built Octocat juggler. It's a GitHub badge that shows in how many repos are you working. By default it links to some stats.

I know this post is quite old but you are the correct people :)

Today I built a github badge that shows an octocat juggling with as many balls as projects you contributed past week.

It also can wear sunglasses or go to the mountain...

You can see it on my profile, folow the link to see some stats and get your own badge.

Let me know if you ever write an Android or web client. I also have migraines and other problems, and it looks neat.

On my weekends I am working on yups. It started as Your Universal Package Straw-boss, but now it is going to Your Universal Prompt Straw-boss :)

It is very stupid for now but I am working on the process and a friend of mine is working to improve the LLM (that's the project Babelfish).

I think this game created by a friend of mine it's very funny when there are more than one player. What do you think?

2- You can find there things that you can't see in any other place

3- A weekly roundup with technology news (in English)

Re:Show HN: LastingPaper – A Desktop App for Your E-Ink Kindle on Saturday December 14, 2019 @09:14AM (#21789576)
I can't figure out how I am supposed to connect it to my Kindle.
I'm a developer from Spain. I worked in some tech companies and one of my jobs as a freelancer is helping companies to get the best tech profiles.

Some companies are doing those tests (the less, about 10% but they are the big ones). Other companies use developing test and give you some days to do it at your home (about 20 or 30%). The other companies do not know anything, most of them are consulting companies that are going to sell your time so they do not mind if you know what you say, if the client is ok, and the client will buy you because you have to hire 10 profiles and is only finding 5.

At this moment I hired (or helped hire) more than a hundred developers (and other profiles, but most of them were developers) and based on that experience I think that these tests are not useful.

If you want to know if a person really wants the position and she knows all the things needed to develop, the second option may be a correct test.

If you want to know if a person can do the work you have to understand how she is, and if you want to know what her tech capabilities are you can ask about some standards like patterns and you can ask to read and explain some real code.

And sorry, that folder structure in #1 has no sense
What exchange service are you using in #2?
I did some changes based on your observations. I hope you like it
Interesting point, I'll work about it
This is a prototype, I was just testing that technology. Using dataflow you can be present in a lot of channels, but all of them are managed by a big company collecting data.
Yes, I can improve this but there are some restrictions (they are not too strict but they are): 500 characters per post, 2 posts each time, 8 suggestions...

Having these in mind, in which way would you improve it?

Thank you for your feedback.

It don't answer you but it is related in some way. I saw some days ago a js library to implement neural networks. I didn't dive in it but it looks like something to do simple things on browsers https://synaptic.juancazala.com/#/
Start a business is really hard here (Spain). With my last one I learnt a lot, but I also lost a lot: all my savings and money from family and other people. I invested a lot of time so I didn't spend that time with my family and friends. Here, you can lost the rest of your life if you fail. I failed and now I have a lot of problems for this reason. For example, I have some open cases with government yet. I knew that it was a possibility but I chose and lost.

With all of this, I don't think that an idea is really important. Execution is more important. Nevertheless, I know that I will start another company someday, but I need to be sure that I regenerate my self before value a new idea or start the execution of one.

I draw on my window a dashboard with a kind of life's game. I needed 1 million of points to get a price (allow myself to startup another company). I can earn points and bonuses doing things like workout, travel, launch with my family, rock climbing, party with friends, develop small projects,... I had some additional rules. All mornings I spent a minute puting strikes near the icons of the things I did past day. Everyday I look the picture of how well I was doing on my life's game and once in a while y added the number of strikes to totals and got bonuses, etc. It worked for me for a while and it was funny but I stopped my count when I moved to other place where my window is smaller than the previous one.
