Isn't this double negation? If what the industry is doing is unethical and what Alexandra is doing is considered "illegal" in the eyes of that industry... wouldn't that make it actually legal and ethical?
I've tried both (but have not completed them): In contrast to OSSU, TYSCS focuses purely on the fundamentals.

Mind expanding on this?

I first learned this from Tim Ferris (btw, that guy isn’t full of it he actually gives out some good stuff) : it’s better to learn things JIT (just in time) than JIC (just in case).
What you said sounds correct however it’s not really as black and white as it may seem. Figuring out pmf means figuring out what make your product unique relative to your competitors which makes it a bit hard if not downright impossible to skip this step.

Honestly, for me, the hardest one to replace is YouTube. I think the best I can do is to create an account specifically for it + use firefox containers.

In my experience it’s got more to do with expectations.

Thanks OP for sharing this podcast/episode! For me it was very informative (and dare I say, pretty cool). I'm wondering what other podcasts I'm missing out on!
Not GP, but here's my 2c:

> How do you test your product hypothesis without a product?

You can't. Actually... it depends on how you define a product. The way I think of it is: a product is merely a vehicle for the added value. With that understanding it becomes easier to decouple the value from the actual product. Therefore the MVP is no longer a stripped down version of the product but rather the simplest tool you can build to provide [that] value.

for whatever it's worth, I find dev.to as the better alternative to medium (at least for technical subjects)
Why would I use this instead of WebAuth?

This is the first time I hear of this, still I’ll try to answer. I can’t really give a specific time frame but it’s mostly during “quiet” hours (so, either early morning or late at night)
Re:CSS Layout – Grid vs. Flexbox on Wednesday October 14, 2020 @01:28PM (#24779209)
I would use: `flex-direction: row`. And use wrap the number and asterisk in a `span` and style them as needed.

Ask HN: How Do You Learn?

I'm really interested in knowing what system you employ to learn stuff.Personally: I'd make a list of all the available resources to learn about that topic -> narrow it down to those that (1) don't assume any prior knowledge where it makes sense (for example, you can't practically learn about ML if you don't know how to program) and (2) provide practice -> Go through each item in the...

Re:A Grand Unified Theory of Product Ideation on Tuesday October 13, 2020 @03:25PM (#24769231)
I completely agree with you.

Honestly, I think one should be skeptical of anyone who’s (1) giving advice and (2) don’t have the experience (knowledge itself is not enough) to back it up.

Re:CSS Layout – Grid vs. Flexbox on Tuesday October 13, 2020 @08:36AM (#24764987)
nav, figure and button: why wouldn't flex cut it?

> Grid is great for 2D layouts especially if you're going to shift stuff around (e.g. responsive versions of the layout).

Exactly!

Re:CSS Layout – Grid vs. Flexbox on Tuesday October 13, 2020 @08:09AM (#24764770)
There are some things that grids aren't optimized for, one example that comes to mind is `justify/space-between` where you don't really need to think about the layout (by adjusting cols spans).

But yeah, for structural layouts grids are better.

Re:CSS Layout – Grid vs. Flexbox on Tuesday October 13, 2020 @07:47AM (#24764592)
My rule of thumb:

2d -> grid

1d -> flex

For the resources, I recommend:

Flexbox: https://flexboxfroggy.com/

Grid: https://cssgridgarden.com/

Re:Purism – Fund Your App on Thursday October 08, 2020 @06:13PM (#24724501)
The power of the web is that it’s accessible from ANY platform and there’s already an app to use it which comes preloaded with whichever platform you’re in: the browser.

That said, native app performance is still unmatched (but not by a long shot!) the react-native project (both by FB and MSFT) looks promising.

If I remember correctly when Judge was asked about what company hooli was supposed to represent he said something along the lines of “hooli is not one company, it’s all of them [FAANG]”.
In my experience, WSL2 is noticeably better than WSL1. Note that that I have an SSD w/ 32 gigs of ram so ymmv.
Fundamentally the result is the same: the conversation will happen regardless of the medium.

However, there’s a big difference between the types of conversations: async or sync.

That said, my recommendation is to pick whichever medium is easier for you to manage/moderate on the go.
