Re:Brain.fm: Music to improve focus, meditation and sleep on Wednesday December 02, 2020 @09:31AM (#25276625)
I just discovered this and found it to provide nice not-distracting music while working. Whether or not it helped me focus...

Curious if anyone else has tried it and what the HN community thinks of the scientific claims.

Re:GitHub CLI 1.0 on Thursday September 17, 2020 @03:29PM (#24508894)
This is a tired take. Can a company not legitimately improve their product/offering without this being accused at them?

If you are referring to GH being owned by MS now, it's 2020 for godsake. Can we move on from our fathers' trauma? MS has been damn good lately in support of developers and developer tools.

Yeah, sure. Why not?
We are currently working on Node.js integration. It's not quite ready for prime time but let me know if you'd like to help us test it!

Are there any other languages you'd like to see?

We provide rich components to use in your app to report status and progress of your jobs.

Chained jobs/workflows is something that is on our roadmap.

They are similar in that they are all job frameworks and you can run background jobs through them. Runly tries to be more prescriptive than Hangfire/Quartz in that jobs should process lists of items. We think this captures a lot of problems that developers deal with everyday. It also allows us to build goodies on top of jobs like multi-threading, retries, scaling, and UI status/progress.

Having people's attention is an incredibly valuable resource in today's economy.
Re:You might as well be a great copy editor on Thursday June 25, 2020 @04:19PM (#23645171)
Something I've known for a while (but have really come to terms with more recently) is just how important writing skills are even for technical people (even coders). It's hard to get anything done if you can't convince people why they should listen to you.

Especially in this increasingly remote-connected world, writing skills are key.

Re:Gimp 2.10.20 on Thursday June 11, 2020 @01:03PM (#23490896)
I've used pixlr in the past but I think photopea is my new favorite.

I also find it frustrating using gimp after using photoshop for so many years. But I don't want to go back to my windows box just for photoshop.

Re:Pepsi’s $32B Typo Caused Deadly Riots on Thursday June 11, 2020 @11:28AM (#23489880)
That's why executives of big cos get paid big money. They are held accountable (or should be anyway) for the actions of their company. The buck stops with them so to speak.

If the thing is really a big deal, as in this case, maybe the exec should do more than just "send an email" and assume everything is fine.
