Seven years ago, excercism helped me get through the children's cancer ward with my mind intact when my daughter got treated for lymphoma. Thank you

This resonates with my experience. The small company I worked at during Covid lockdowns had a 3-questions structured standup. At one point we added the question 'how do you feel today?' as 0th question. It helped us to see each more other as humans, which is often difficult when Slack, Zoom and PRs are the dominant communication forms.
Also: all-day Slack huddles in the #watercooler channel, everyone muted by default, is a surprisingly effective way to lower the barrier for team communication. If you're waiting to talk about being blocked until morning standup, you'll probably ask for help about 16 hours later than necessary.

I'd suggest a small title change to reflect this is about the Docker project transitioning and renaming to Moby

Re:Ask HN: What do you think about testing using Selenium?
on Saturday August 22, 2015 @08:15AM (#10102299)
We use selenium tests as a last line of defense. Using it as your only integration test, however, seems a bad idea to me. There are more specific and faster possibilities for testing.
The thing that would make selenium a lot better, would be if browser vendors could agree on a standard for instrumentation. This is of course a perfect-world line of thinking.

I have totally no experience with this, but I would use a search algorithm to establish your 'real rate'. Decide for yourself what figure you need to earn as a bare minimum and try to sell your services for that price. After getting a job, you know one price you're not worth. Raise your offer price by twice the amount you think would be fair and try to find new work.
Measure and write things down, as far as possible avoid selling for the same price twice, don't lose confidence in yourself.
Add: Don't listen to me, davismwfl's advice is better.
Re:Why the Dutch oppose windmills
on Friday July 03, 2015 @03:12AM (#9824006)
Bottom line (according to the article):
The Netherlands is quite densely populated, so every wind turbine is bound to be in someone's backyard.
Last paragraph explains that more than 70% of the population is in favor of more wind energy, but many people don't like the face of large windmill parks.

The Mturk for cryptocurrency already exists (and works through Crowdflower) : https://coinworker.com/
I made about 0.2 btc there last year when I dropped out of university with no direct other plan. (But then I lost the private keys to that wallet)
Edit: clarify that I respond about the Mturk idea

you should probably post this as a Show HN-thread and work on a simple yet comprehensive title that catches the attention of the HN public. Then be an active participant in the discussion and ask people for feedback.
