I was excited to sign up for this. But, I never got your verification email, so I can't sign up. That should be your bread and butter.

Re:OpenAI Should Build Slack
on Saturday February 14, 2026 @04:34PM (#47018615)
Teams suffers from one giant problem. There is a totally odd, but understandable from tech debt perspective, segregation between “chats” and “teams” which makes it practically impossible to find everything. It’s a fatal flaw. Slack is beautifully simple and effective in comparison. Also, the reminder feature on slack is extremely useful to me personally and I miss it dearly in teams.

When I was meditating regularly I found this easier to do. I had the presence of mind to notice I was rushing and slow down and focus on the details. I need to start meditating again.

Same thing happens every time a new hire joins the team. Lots of documentation is stale and needs updating as they onboard.

Spaces I suppose. Very easy, clean work/personal separation. That and the bookmark/tab conflation thing they're doing is actually kind of nice once you get used to it. Oh, and sync'ing cross device is nice as well.
I don't use any of the easel or boost stuff. I'd prefer if they stop working such silly things and focus on bringing their mobile app up to par but seems like they'll get there.

I tried Arc a few months back and quickly decided to give it a go as a primary browser. It’s quite nice.

The part I like lost about the peek feature is when it happens elsewhere in the OS. I click a link in outlook or iMessage and I pops up right there in context without jumping all the way to my browser. ESP nice for unsubscribe links in emails.
Re:Ask HN: Easiest and cheapest full-stack frameworks that you love?

Speak for yourself? I personally find I’m much more productive with elixir/phoenix and the end result is much more performant. (I say this having built multiple large projects with rails in the past)

Elixir/Phoenix is wonderful. Worth a look.
Re:Ask HN: Easiest and cheapest full-stack frameworks that you love?
on Thursday February 09, 2023 @07:48AM (#34723167)
It’s def a solid option esp. if you’re very familiar with it already.
But, I think Elixir/Phoenix beats it handily at this point for someone starting from scratch with either one or that is willing to spend a week or two learning something new.

Re:It's normal to play the same song over and over again (2016)
on Wednesday July 13, 2022 @07:56AM (#32081439)
A song stuck in my head can make me restless all night as well.
One fix I’ve found that often works for me is listening to instrumental jazz every night before bed. It’s variable/random enough that it knocks the stuck song out of my mind without replacing it with another. Search for “jazz for sleep” playlists, there are a few decent ones out there.
