I'm in LA and looking for potential co-founders for side projects. I have some vague ideas but nothing I'm set on. Leave your contact info.

Yes. I use PyCharm specifically for its debugger.

Microsoft already bought NPM so there's precedent.
The cities need to step up and set up their own ride sharing services e.g. https://www.metrolacampaigns.net/ in LA
Re:Where people are moving during Covid on Friday August 14, 2020 @03:37PM (#24162328)
What's the difference between "moving" and "leaving"?
I've always thought that if HMD was successful enough, eventually Nokia would just buy them and get their brand back.
Vine 2.0?
Re:Ask HN: Starting a SaaS business as non-technical founder on Saturday August 01, 2020 @01:40PM (#24022361)
I cannot echo this enough. If you're eventually trying to be the CEO: sell, sell, sell, and then sell some more. If you've got customers waiting, you have so much more of an advantage when it comes to finding a technical co-founder. "I've got this great idea." pales in comparison to "I've got this great idea and 10 letters of intent/1000 people on a waiting list/$X,000 in revenue using gmail and a spreadsheet." (not all of those but the more the better), you'll easily be able to find someone.

If you're eventually trying to become the CTO with someone else doing the selling, then learn to code it up yourself.

Just curious, is there a different reason to use “sic” besides spelling errors?
Re:How Did Vim Become So Popular? on Tuesday June 30, 2020 @08:33PM (#23696438)
I haven't found a way to test/debug in Vim that's as good as PyCharm. With PyCharm, after I write a test I hit ctrl+shift+r and it runs. I've been meaning to try pudb, seems like it's the most similar in terms of a visual debugger.

Same here. Smile Always for Chrome.
I don't use VS Code, but I like that there's experimentation in this space -- every X minutes, do something to the UI to remind you to take a break.

I currently use Time Out on Mac and every X minutes it slowly greys out the entire screen. The hardest scenario is if I'm in "the zone" and super focused on fixing a bug, etc. and the notification pops up. I end up feeling antagonistic towards the break reminder.

This looks like it's a good balance.

Re:Amazon Confirms Plans for Store Under New Grocery Brand on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @12:22AM (#21511735)
Kudos to you. I just looked it up and the Walmart Neighborhood Market closest to me is ~30K sq. ft. while the CVS closest to me is 17.5K.
Re:Amazon Confirms Plans for Store Under New Grocery Brand on Monday November 11, 2019 @09:39PM (#21511064)
My bet is this will be very similar to Walmart Neighborhood Market. About the size of a drug store, will stock grocery essentials, and will have lower prices than traditional grocery stores (Safeway/VONS, Ralphs, Albertsons, QFC, etc.)

A store like this might allow them to more cost effectively fulfill small items (deodorant, a pack of pens, batteries, aspirin, candy bars, etc.) by shipping from the store to your home.

Re:Edge Chromium Release on January 2020 on Monday November 04, 2019 @10:51AM (#21442718)
I have to commend Microsoft on the new Edge logo. It's different enough from the IE and old Edge logo that savvy users will notice the change, but similar enough that the users who "just click on the blue e to go to the internet" probably won't notice the change.
I agree. Take everything with a grain of salt. In addition, I use Fakespot. It gives products a letter grade based on how "fake" their reviews are. Not perfect, but another data point.
Re:The Best Financial Advice I Ever Got on Saturday August 10, 2019 @11:23PM (#20666019)
Mine would be, "Don't be pennywise and pound foolish".

Sometimes it's worth it to spend the extra money. The example that's burned into my brain is hiring movers.

Re:How I Side Project on Monday July 29, 2019 @03:12PM (#20558242)
One thing that I'm trying to internalize is when you're building a side project/rapid prototype, you need to be lenient on adhering to best practices. Here's a good video from Startup School that shows technical cofounders answering the best practices vs. speed question: https://youtu.be/tSW-GePDwn4?t=1365

They talk about not having unit tests, or CI/CD, etc.

Not OP, but that’s the order presented in the article.
