Re:Why I left my tech job to work on chronic pain on Friday July 04, 2025 @10:12PM (#44469589)
Have had long term chronic pain. Think possibly due to a combination of tendinitis and lack of movemen as a dev

Our bodies aren’t meant to be in one position for that long no matter the ergonomics unless you know what you’re doing.

Lots of people mock tiktok for the dancing but in observing the dances, I’ve grown an appreciation for full range of movement and trying to increase range of motion in the joints

I was able to find some exercises that helped in this to decompress but I can go into more detail if people want

Re:Ask HN: Vision Pro owners, are you still using it? on Thursday July 04, 2024 @12:05AM (#40872241)
That’s a great insight.

I have the Vision Pro and do like the quality and sound from my Sony a90j and Sonos system a bit more, but the size of the screen in the Vision Pro is amazing

I’ll have to play around with this but glad to have another great library with this mindset.

I always am unsure of whether to go with unpoly, livewire and htmx lol. Maybe this will push towards htmx

Re:Etsy is laying off 11% of its staff on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @04:52PM (#38634673)
Definitely, it is unpredictable if you are relying on that income. If it’s a side business it’s probably ok
Re:Etsy is laying off 11% of its staff on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @12:29PM (#38630778)
Some are but many are still legit sellers. We’ve sold on there and were handmade items. Their algorithm is very unpredictable so it was hard to rely on Etsy as a source of revenue
Re:California wants to end Cupertino's tax deal with Apple on Monday November 06, 2023 @10:49AM (#38164143)
Thanks for saying that. Completely agree. Lignins perfect but for some reason California gets overly negative perceptions
Great observation. The lack of density and weather unsuitable for walking is a big factor I’ve noticed as well
Maybe let the land stop burning before you think about that.

Great point. Time to do research on how much GitHub contributes to msft earnings. Really does seem like they’re on the verge of a huge jump
Re:340k people moved out of CA in 2022, most of any state on Saturday December 24, 2022 @01:14PM (#34119447)
Moved from the bay to Texas because of everything i heard. It was such a horrible experience. The heat, the bugs, the lack of density.

So few days of good weather. Maybe worth it to some, but a bigger house was not worth it to me at all. We moved back in 6 months.

So many people want to live in California which causes more issues

looks great! using hex values for color gets complicated. perhaps a color system like tailwind would be great to simplify choices
Craft commerce is a great platform but not ready to run like Shopify
Interesting that your only takeway from the protest movement is "smashing up neighborhoods and businesses"
I just can't commit to changing my whole email address and be locked into a service that can increase charges at anytime with no export ability.

I'd much rather this be an app that sits on top of a standard mail server.

I admire how knowledgeable Jeff is in different subject matters. Jeff is a major contributor in the ansible community and very helpful to everyone.
this is true. will probably happen at my workplace as well unfortunately. the PPP was a stopgap which helped a bit, but sales are still not back to normal to help pay for full staff.
Re:Htmx – high power tools for HTML on Thursday May 28, 2020 @10:05PM (#23345558)
Yeah some kind of bridge between the two would be great. They both seem to have different areas of specialization

Re:Htmx – high power tools for HTML on Thursday May 28, 2020 @10:01PM (#23345529)
What about using alpine and htmx together? So you get the front end reactivity as well
pair this up with the successor to intercoolerjs,

https://htmx.org/

and you can keep even more of your work directly in html.

Re:Ask HN: How do you take notes (useful note-taking strategies)? on Wednesday November 30, 2016 @01:42PM (#13073416)
thanks for the detailed explanation. I have a similar structure of splitting things into different files.

The only difference is I keep most everything on Dropbox Paper. Really love the markdown editing and ability to add images.

Monthly Plan - daily time blocks and a master tasks list

Active Project Notes - I keep a page with a section for every project I'm working on. I'll take log as much as I can, especially any problems I fix. Screenshots and the code markups help in case the issue arises again.

Documentation - The nice thing about Paper is that it serves as a great knowledge sharing platform. So our team will document as much as we can in here. Much better than our previous solution (Dokuwiki). I liked Dokuwiki but other people in our company didn't fully understand the syntax. It's also much easier to add photos and add data tables in Paper.

Then individual files for more specific things I want to keep track of (movies to watch, places to visit, etc..)

I use Evernote for dumping in anything I'm mildly curious about or might be valuable in my development work. But anything of more value and curation will go into Paper.

Re:Magento 2.1 released on Thursday June 23, 2016 @02:50PM (#11963468)
I'm migrating to Magento 2 from a custom built solution in Laravel. It is very complex, but there are some improvements from Magento 1, and it's been good for the most part.

There are other alternatives we looked at, such as Spree (ruby) and other php based carts, but Magento 2 has so many extensions available from third party and the developers are actively listening to the community. The Chief Architect, Alan Kent is available to communicate with and has pushed changes that the community really wanted (i.e. moving to SASS from LESS).

It's been a steep learning curve, but there is also a lot of flexibility in modifying the code to suite your needs (without needing to edit the core).
