I've been working on my own frontend for hacker news for a bit cause I wanted it look a certain way (basically larger fonts, easy on the eyes). You can check it out here to find any inspiration, https://hn.aaakash.xyz
Re:Ask HN: What are the best alternatives to GitHub Copilot? on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @02:25AM (#33980934)
GitHub copilot is free for open source contributors. Maybe start contributing to projects you like / use everyday?
Re:Ask HN: Should I learn more languages? on Friday November 11, 2022 @10:05PM (#33569561)
I think it’s always nice to learn about different paradigms of languages.

Since you know python, I’d recommend these two 1. Go (compiled, typed, simple, fast) 2. Elixir (functional, interpreted, distributed, elegant)

I really loved your blog post. Also, your site is an interesting combination of bold, clean and simple. Really well done.
Tbh I don’t see it as a huge problem as long as a. The data is anonymous, and b. they aren’t trying to sell the data.

I mean if you choose to use someone’s service, you’d want it to get better. And one of the reasons they get better is by collecting feedback of what’s working, what isn’t.

It’s very hard to nail down a good ux without feedback.

I hear you. It’s just that the rise of TikTok contradicts all the survey results. I.e. I don’t see their sentiments reflect in their actions.

I mean if you’re concerned about your data and feel helpless, simply don’t use the app. But TikTok keeps rising doesn’t it.

I’m not sure if there’s even a way to easily pay taxes for a foreigner. Nor there are proper visa’s for such kind of travel. I think it’s relatively a very new thing and everyone is just figuring it out.

It has nothing do with Alan watts and everything to do with the people ? Like I resonate a lot with him but I never preach or condemn people for not liking it ?

isn't the tax burden for sole proprietorship higher than for say limited company? 30 vs 25 iirc?

This is interesting cause it’s exactly the opposite for me. I’ve pixel 6a right next to me but my sim is still on my iPhone cause I just can’t find the apps I want on the android :)
iPhone 7 with its 3D Touch had the best cursor scroll tbh. You hard press your thumb anywhere on the keyboard and use it like a mousepad to scroll around. I’m still mad that we don’t have that anymore.

That’s very interesting. At the same, it is just better to have notifications for all parties involved ?

Do people not get any messages when they make any transactions?

In my county you literally get messages for every transaction. And you also have to add in otp for every transaction online.

Yes please. It has been such a pain to deploy.

Ask HN: A Teachable, Shopify, Circle in one platform

I was wondering if there's a all in one community platform that combines all of them. I've a client who runs an interesting foundation where they do physical classes, sell physical products and digital courses, do food delivery, allow teachers to sell their courses under their brand, etc.

can you tell me more about "benzo" ?
I actually haven’t thought deeply about this topic yet.

I think it’s a tricky to judge whether re-inventing the wheel is important and would yield better results or one should just stick with the norms.

And I genuinely believe that we definitely need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to workplaces. Trying to translate a physical workplace to a digital one seems logical but doesn’t feel right. And more importantly, if you come from that side, it surely makes the transition easier for people, but makes it very hard to re-invent the wheel because your lens (how you look at the problem) is now biased.

But then how do you re-invent the wheel?

I think one way is to just question everything and see if the past conclusions still hold true in this new reality. Once you have enough conclusions, you can maybe begin to think about how to model a solution with those conclusions in mind. Makes sense ?

This sounds really neat. Analoging the reality into a virtual one with higher fidelity. I’m thinking about coming over from the other end (like thinking from first principles). Like what it means to be remote workplace? Why do we hangout at a workplace ? Etc I’m sure you folks would have thought about it a lot. I would love to see your conclusions.
Re:Intent to stop using 'null' in my JS code on Saturday October 31, 2020 @11:26PM (#24956991)
I actually find all of the return values reasonable.

As you said,

undefined == I just don’t know what the value is

null == I know that there isn’t supposed to be a value here.

lmao totally agree. I once took a operating system course on a whim. Built primitives for an mips system. Absolutely loved it but wouldn't do it again :)
Re:Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (September 2020) on Thursday September 03, 2020 @02:08AM (#24361182)
I'm just really curious so if you're comfortable sharing, can you share why are you looking for work? I mean, if you 30+ years of experience, I assume you're at least 50? And considering the fact that you've generated this lifetime value, I don't think you have financial issues either.

My only guess is that you're mostly bored and you love solving problems
