I have recently been approached by a founder who has developed a comprehensive SaaS solution for hospitality venues aimed at enhancing guest experience and improving operational efficiency. I am a consultant in this area.Despite its advanced features and significant investment (hundreds of thousands of euros spent working with an outsourcing shop), the app has no client base. The founder...
At my small company we use it as an internal wiki, project management tool, writing tool, and more importantly we use it to maintain a couple of complex enough databases of content that we publish to the web through the API.
This is it. I came to the same conclusion and my experience with Linux (in my case, plain Ubuntu) is painless!
Would you have a source for that? Just curious.
Interested, email in profile. I work for a marketplace of products and services for a specific industry.
That sounds great! What's the app called, I'd like to install it.
Hi there! It sounds like you're going through a burnout. I think that once you accept it, then you can take the necessary steps to make the situation better.
Hit me up if you'd like to chat, my email address is in my about section.

Every time the medias mention location-tracing apps, they say it's a threat to privacy and personal autonomy.
I am not a security engineer, but my understanding is that it's entirely possible to build an application that's anonymous (see: https://ncase.me/contact-tracing/)
Yet, medias don't relay that. Am I missing something?
It looks interesting, but there's no info on pricing available without first signing up...
Learn, sure. But it's all about the experience! Especially when you talk about traveling, the travel itself is an experience you can't really feel reading a book or watching a video.
Do you have kids? I got a baby this year and my sleep pattern completely changed: I used to sleep late into the morning but for some reason I now wake up by myself at around 7.30 every day. It's a radical change and it's apparently something a lot of fathers experience.
That doesn't seem to be true at all: Wikipedia says there was around 4 million slaves in the 1860 census while the total number of incarcerated Americans in 2010 doesnt reach 2.5 millions.
I can only speak about myself of course but running Ubuntu 16.04 on a thinkpad x250 I have absolutely none of the issues you have listed above. Maybe you hear more about people having bad experiences than good ones?
It used to be pretty bad indeed a few release ago. It's now very fast and smooth! You just need to learn and use a few shortcuts to make Unity very efficient.
It's not the answer you are looking for but you can install Slimsocial for Facebook - where it works.
I tried it for a few years, albeit on and off, working when travelling about 6 months of the year. It was my goal, I built my life around that. While travelling made me experience amazing places and moments, I never managed to be truly happy while on the road for a long time. It became blend after a while. I think the main reason was that I ended up being disconnected from the reality of the daily life people I met, and family and friends back home, were experiencing. Sure it is cool to have the freedom to be and go wherever you please and people envy your lifestyle. But you don't build or cultivate relationships with substance that way. Arrive somewhere, meet people, stay for a while and then move on to somewhere else; it becomes a routine after a while, somewhat similar to the routine you wanted to escape from in the first place. I also found it difficult to really focus on my work: why spend time on something you can do later on when you have an amazing place to discover! I think that maybe the digital nomad lifestyle is simply not enjoyable on the long term for most people. It was fun for me for a while and I grew out of it. I think I am happier now living in a place I like with people I love and with some kind of a work routine that helps me get things done. I still travel as often as I can but I do not work then and I feel like I enjoy the places I go even more!
On HN? That seems like a terrible idea to me.
ON THE MOVE part-time position! Looking for a English speaking web-developer currently travelling in South East Asia or South America. Very flexible in terms of exact skills and available time. Company is selling applications and services to independent hotels. PM me for more information!
Could you develop? I am genuinely curious.

Would any one of you could share their experience about the 2015 learn to code bundle, currently on sale for 59USD? It's very cheap, but is the content worth it?

My small company needs to develop a web application to better serve our customer. It is a simple portal with users accounts and a personalized dashboard. The idea is to develop it little by little and integrate more services into it in the near future. My two questions are:- How do I go about finding the right person/team to work on it and be sure they will follow through?- What...
So in essence it says that both Schmidt and Brin (along with other key CEOs) met with the NSA for a briefing on security threats. The politeness of the email does not mean that they are close friends.
I am failing to see the issue here...
What is on HN the 1st of November?
Position is local as meeting business owners is necessary.

I run a small b2b business in Dublin, Ireland, and am looking for a part time sales & marketing manager. How should I go about finding the right person?
