I found www.cables.gl to be much more intuitive for node-based visual experiments (no install and collab mode)
Please don't preselect the "WFH" option. This skews your poll as you made a choice for the user. :)
Been using Webflow for years almost daily. Still a big fan but seeing round after round of VC money and little improvement on the actual tool (Webflow Designer) something feels off...
I bought an Ikea Eneby 20 about three years ago (there's a dual speaker version available). It's my travel companion. Still in use. Almost daily. Indoor. Outdoor. Techno, Rock, Spotify...it just sounds good (bass a little prominent but can be fixed trough EQing or a piece of cloth)
It looks good (not like a plastic toy) and sounds absolutely great. Paid $40 back then. (last time I checked it was 50€+ in EU right now).
You absolutely can pay >400 and it might be accurate hifi, but what you really want from a speaker is joy :)
Please take a moment and open the demo on a smartphone.
It might not be the actual device for the end user but people will read this on HN and just click the link...and then get a very little disappointed
Figma is a cross-platform equivalent and it's free for personal use (figma.com) work's in your browser and is quite fast actually
There's more to the world then US. English is the common tech language that almost everyone on HN is capable reading but not always fluent or mothertongue. I don't think "rapier" is a common word for non-native speakers.
Can someone help me understand the greater vision of this project?
I do like the idea and efforts from a technical point of view. Tinkering with OCR on unusual (or old) languages.
But that's not the goal of this project as far as I'm concerned (it's a byproduct?) Archiving every single news entry for the sake of completion sounds more like obsession than purpose. We're creating so much information that it will be even harder to separate garbage from valuable information (you have to spend time reading the useless stuff before you can justify whether or not it's valuable to you).
Information overload IS a problem and by adding more information to an already saturated ecosystem I don't see the vision here but would like to understand :)
It almost seems like a hording problem but for the digital natives. People accumulate a lot of stuff but rarely can they actually appreciate what they possess as time & perception is a very limiting factor.
An article that would shed some light would be highly appreciated.
Whole article resonates so thank you for putting that up. The word POLYMATH is a little clunky for non-native speakers. If you were to ask people in the streets the word GENERALIST is probably easier to understand. I experienced that with a lot of words that tend to describe a certain type/trend/box. I'm not advocating against the word just trying to raise awareness why there's people out there that would rather simply break it down to "Generalist" and Polymath will most likely be a niche word on a global scale.
Story: I went to a user test interview for Mavo (which also caters to beginners).
I'm a UI designer and I work in frontend scripting (HTML+CSS). I did my first hello world in Turbo Pascal almost 15 years ago so I'm NOT a beginner and I can understand code.
the Mavo interview consisted of basic programming concepts. It made me sweaty and I felt like the dumbest baby user because of the expected timeframe to answer questions.
Presenting a FUNCTION to a beginner IS overwhelming (even tho you wouldn't feel overwhelmed as an avid developer).
Advice: Sit down with actual beginners and watch them trying to start a project using dip language. you'll learn so much about how far away from 'beginner friendly' you are (from a practical pov)
:(
I have between 1-2% battery usage.
If you have a little bit of freedom (money and job-wise) and your country (passport) allows you to travel - try to join a digital nomad trip. NOT one of those "life coach, ebook selling things".
You'll be part of a group of like-minded people from around the world.
I joined Hacker Paradise some years ago and it not only gave me valuable directions but tons of people that would understand what a Trello is and you can share struggles and stories.
There's Affinity Photo / Designer that is pretty similar to Photoshop (UI & functionality) and cost around $50. No subscription, no bullshit. That's (kinda) affordable, right?
