They just gone through a cycle where their wealth collapsse to near zero by external forces outside of their control.

In general, the one on the fringe building and gaing traction will rise to take over and so on it goes. Builders will find a way or find an excuse.

Google was paying $1 to put Mozilla Firefox on a computer.

I made a bunch of few bucks or two every x minutes or so, 24h/day. Details escapes me atm.

Re:Apple Vision Nope: Why I returned mine on Thursday February 15, 2024 @11:16AM (#39384527)
Weak reasons. One reason is good enough, eyes hurts. Or not fitted. Or whatever.

Is it a keeper if $ was lower, etc. let’s play a game of switching the order of reasons around, reverse and flip it.

Not sure I see an intent to buy and keep it except to try it.

:P when is Zuck Coke? This watch like a value sales pitch. We removed that feature, we going to add it back. For most of you, our product is better. And Cheaper in cost.

Good write up. Not sure speed is all that crucial in a SSG.

It’s an emotional thing. Most place can’t handle it. Non profit is one place where some of it is open to the public via 990.

We human are not as in control as we thing we are. When those chemical kicks in, it takes a good deal of efforts to reason yourself out of it. This assumes you are aware of it happening.

Re:Software That Fits in Your Backpack on Wednesday October 18, 2023 @12:12AM (#37924772)
As with travel, when done enough, software uses drift towards the effective end of the spectrum plus speed. You get in, get it done, and you get out.

Sure you’ll continue to dabble with new software but like a chef with their knife collections, they use only a few trusty one when they actually cook.

The collection is not the craft. Same reason markdown swung into community love.

Time favors the useful tool.

Stream of thoughts.

What are you solving for? Easy No. waste of everyone’s resource, time.
Turn it on when you are typing out your code.

Turn it off when you are coding.

Re:Why Krishna didn't fight in the Mahabharata war? [video] on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @11:40PM (#37924606)
At that point, Arjuna was having his first baby and Krishna had already done it, there for support. No one can give birth on your behalf. A warrior can not someone else make.

Perhaps you’ll enjoy rap n hip hop and battle rap. It’s words with friends plus music.

Got to Z plus two lowercase words at the end.

About 10% of the list are actively used. Rest are stuffy.

Here are some random gems that came across my bg YouTube stream universe to help you noobs master your craft. Up to you how much you take from and leave on the table

This is like reading 10 blog posts on HN. This will save you 1 order of magnitude in time. But as we all know, order of magnitude only matters in pay

This lady is so low key on dropping experience gems that most of you will miss. It's okay, give her some YouTube love, you got plenty to spare.

Here's my take

1. At times, it's better to hear lessons learn from peers from a discipline of a different order

2. You need to break down complications --- for yourself. Feynman did it for the Challenger Disaster report.

3. Be self aware of what's hard for you, and solve that

4. Tools tools tools. Use tools that makes a difference in your process. Just use it and don't debate.

5. Two machines --- so that you don't have to re-threads --- two machines is not too much, you decide.

6. lock down on essential quality tools.

7. realizing "wait, I just put it together, I didn't finish it". Where's the finishing and polishing dicipline in your craft?

8. Loosing your flow --- prepping for the flow so that you stay in it. Chefs does prep work. Sherry Jones does it in her craft. What is your prep work link?

9. Think! Break rules (it's ok to buy in an up-cycle world). "What good is it 100% [up cycle material] and nobody buys it"

0. This whole experience is about you and understandings --- for yourself.
