I just go for something that works... I don't really care that much about specs. Macs seem to be the least stress causing laptops

Stop reading books and start making stuff

Go somewhere where you are valued my friend
Yes but from the frame that the amount of diff problems you experience matters. Not your 10 years of experience solving 1 set of problems
Re:NFT projects are just MLMs for tech elites on Friday October 01, 2021 @08:16AM (#28717471)
Huh? You would have to authenticate with Twitter using your crypto wallet to prove you own the wallet associated with the NFT. Twitter would know the contract addresses of the original NFT so even if you created your own smart contract with identical images it wouldn't be the original...

Go out of your way to show your work and progress regularly, just don't stay heads down all the time. Keep in constant communication with whoever would be interested in seeing it... bosses... users... etc

This was a nice read, glad everything has worked out for Flavio. Part of why this is possible is that there is a lot more leverage available for those that are solo nowadays. It's an exciting time for sure

You know people link to their blog posts and stuff right?
Re:Ask HN: What is the HN of Cryptocurrency? on Wednesday August 11, 2021 @10:23AM (#28142347)
Pretty much Twitter at this point for me. There's too much pessimism on HN when it comes to crypto. I appreciate criticism but Twitter has all the deep thinkers
Re:Launch YC S21: Meet the Batch, Thread #5 on Tuesday August 10, 2021 @12:26PM (#28130805)
This is interesting. Any way to post the documents to be read publicly?
Yes it's modern day slavery. What's stopping you from taking some time and allocating it to building something for yourself?
You saved my project from certain death. Thank you
Thank you Edwin. I really appreciate it!
I'm currently running into this but the shutdown didn't occur until I was preparing for launch this week. I've gotten some success reaching out to them on Twitter but it's been a slow process convincing them that my business does not violate any of their T&C...

Please let me know if you have any other tips on resolving this in a fast manner...

Thank you for saying the things I didn't think I needed to elaborate on :-)
This sounds a little hand wavy and honestly just comes across as a lack of discipline. In my experience when you feel resistance you can get really far just sitting down and devoting a bit of time to doing the task at hand. It's hard and unmotivating at FIRST, but it tends to go away. If it doesn't just try again tomorrow. At least you got some work done.
Not sure if there are any communities. My general advice is to invest as much as possible in a good logging solution, traceability, and just general things to make debugging easier. Come up with a way to replay events easily. You'll thank yourself everyday a bug or issue pops up.
Honestly I see the opposite happening. A fresh wave of young distributed workers coming into urban centers.

It’s sad to see how pessimistic people here are against cryptos. Try flipping that perspective and see how this can benefit so many people in the world.
Re:El Salvador makes Bitcoin legal tender on Wednesday June 09, 2021 @05:28PM (#27453480)
This is all currency though. The difference is that if you adopted Bitcoin you wouldn’t get poorer as time went on.

Ask for a tilt table test. POTS usually takes a while to diagnose because tests are done to rule out fatal conditions.

I have POTS, you feel like shit a lot of the time but it’s very manageable.

It’s usually caused by a viral infection.

Re:Covid-19 can damage hearts of some college athletes on Thursday October 01, 2020 @10:41PM (#24658243)
I think you got downvoted on the basis that what you say is speculation... but I do not disagree and think there should be room for that in this context.

Confirmed cases will never be equal to total cases unless the virus affected everyone the same and had 100% mortality with distinctive causes i.e hemorrhaging.

The asymptomatic or mild case rate is so high that treating confirmed cases as anything other than a speculative baseline is hard for me to accept.

Because then you incentivize people to seek status.

Does this support nicotine as a therapeutic for covid?

It supposedly acts on the RAS and down regulates ace2

Re:Why Go's Error Handling Is Awesome on Tuesday July 07, 2020 @09:00AM (#23758719)
Care to elaborate on why it was such an issue?
I will say that I’m not really interested in talking with people I necessarily know. I want to talk to people who have well thought out arguments that are non obvious.

Take what you will from that and good luck.
