Nothing strikes fear into my heart like this does.

I think you need to think of the bigger picture.

If there were no outlet to purchase books, very few people would want to write books because libraries couldn't replace the revenue stream from booksellers.

Libraries benefit from booksellers and vice versa.

That’s a no go for me.
What? This is literally just Apple Notes for code snippets. What’s the confusion?

This is such good advice.

I do enjoy myNoise, but I find their mobile apps to be usability headaches a lot of the time.

Speaking of RA, I thoroughly enjoyed the latest podcast with a mix from Aïsha Devi.

Simply does not work on my install of Catalina.

This app crashes every time I try to configure a new keyboard shortcut.

There are no apps or windows showing up in the switcher.

What's with the low res menu bar icon?

I will be requesting a refund if an update is not issued after my purchase is moved from pending.

Re:Ask HN: Any front-end/UX roles that DON'T require React? on Thursday October 10, 2019 @05:44PM (#21219487)
Any company that requires a programmer to have X years with a framework(!) and will not hire you otherwise is a company not worth working for. If you have an impressive portfolio of experience, language or framework shouldn’t particularly matter if you can show that you can ramp your skills to their requirements.

Chaos is a ladder.

A Dogecoin precursor, for sure.
Neat Idea. Very clean. I’d love the ability to make the Navigation Bar a darker color. A share sheet would be nice, too. I do notice a bug with the keyboard; when it collapses, it leaves some white padding on the bottom on my iPhone X. Otherwise, good start. I’ll be looking forward to the updates!

Re:Ask HN: What advice would you give your 18 year old self? on Wednesday June 28, 2017 @01:58PM (#14656522)
- Learn to save money and stop desiring things you do not yet own.

- Stop telling people that their problems are pragmatically easy to solve.

- Find a mentor in whatever currently interests you.

- Learn to collaborate.

- Hesitate to start intimate relationships; be a friend, first and foremost.

- Stop believing you are alone in the world.

Re:Ask HN: I don't want to be a founder anymore on Monday May 29, 2017 @12:01AM (#14437336)
FWIW, as someone who's worked those jobs (hard labor and customer service) for roughly 7 years prior to becoming a full-time programmer, I can assure that those jobs aren't stress free. Quite the opposite, actually. I try my hardest to never take my opportunities for granted and I can't imagine pining for the days of being treated like a low-level grunt of a company. I now have unyielding respect for those working those jobs by not idealizing their "simple" profession.
Re:Child Marriage in America on Sunday May 28, 2017 @11:26PM (#14437222)
No, it's nothing like "outlawing religion because some priests are pedophiles". It's more like sending the priest to another parish to obscure the fact that they've sexually assaulted children. It's just covering up the actual atrocity by having children marry their assaulter. You really think an 11-year-old being forced into marriage is not part of the problem?

Naive, as in having an adolescent conception of the relationship between men and women; that's sad.
