Using that color profile with dark mode apps was the winning combo for me. Hit me up if you want to try that profile out. Happy to assist.
About 7 years ago my eyesight was fading fast as a programmer. I ended up getting glasses and nothing seemed to really help. Then a co-worker suggested I change the color profile of my monitor. The change reduced the blue and added a yellow tint. Things changed overnight. My eyesight went back to normal.

Every once in a while my MacBook shifts out of that color profile and it feels borderline blinding in comparison. I have no idea if that will help you with the condition you have, but it’s definitely worth a shot.

Consistent baseline grid load is the difference.
Each of us started out writing shit code. Don’t sweat it. Your ideas and code add to the lexicon, whether it’s written perfectly or not. Publish and don’t look back.

A/B testing crosses a fundamental line when people are the product.
Re:No, we won’t have a video call for that on Saturday September 25, 2021 @10:00AM (#28653282)
We optimize to get things done. If a video call is warranted, we all hop on and get to the answer much faster than text. If the convo is inherently asynchronous, we use Slack. I don’t see the benefit in drawing lines in the sand. Each situation is different. We use impromptu meetings in most cases, not scheduled ones. It works like a charm. Being rigid about process is a classic productivity killer.

It clearly looks like a mac. Let’s get real.

How can you “win” a war when the other country can press a single button and eliminate 100% of the people in your country?
Re:Vietnam War images from the North Vietnamese side on Tuesday May 25, 2021 @09:54PM (#27285235)
IMO it’s a tad silly to say that the U.S. lost these wars. Can you really lose a war with a massive nuclear arsenal on your side? It’s crazy that this seems to never be mentioned.

This seems quite similar to Americans demanding their gun rights to protect themselves from the government. Well, I hate to inform you of this, but the government could out gun you since time immemorial. It’s a wild argument for gun rights.

Re:Show HN: Greg – a simple “cal” clone written in C on Saturday October 24, 2020 @11:33AM (#24879800)
Although this looks like it has a ways to go before being a viable replacement to cal, I give you props for putting yourself out there and gathering feedback. That's never an easy thing to do.
This is a great point. That makes a lot of sense.
Among other reasons, this is in big part happening due to a large push toward mail-in voting come the next Presidential election. It seems that certain political entities think they will suffer at the poles due to the fact that it’ll be easier to vote.

easier voting -> more votes -> undesirable outcomes

Incorporating a clipboard manager into my workflow was a game changer for me. It's basically a cache for my mind. I couldn't imagine life without it now.

Oddly enough, I wasn't stating that the person had poor deductive logic. I was stating the exact steps I took to find the answer myself.
Re:January 28th Incident Report on Wednesday February 03, 2016 @07:02PM (#11030965)
You could google "HA", click in the Wikipedia link that shows all the things "HA" may refer to, and deduct that the most logical thing in the list, given the context, would be this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability.
How could I get on that list? I would love to be involved.

Re:Zero-downtime Postgres migrations – the hard parts on Wednesday May 27, 2015 @05:50PM (#9614622)
Did you ever think of testing these migrations against at least a subset of your production data? It sounds like you just wrote the migrations and let them go into the wild without thought.

Why don't you use something like Pocket? It seems like you are the ideal use case for their software. I use it religiously.

Re:Ask HN: How do you keep track of your personal expenses? on Thursday April 23, 2015 @11:08PM (#9431213)
I switched from Mint to Personal Capital (https://www.personalcapital.com) and haven't looked back. The interface is more modern, and the graphs and summary emails are more on topic with what I care about in my spending trends.
It sounds like the chances of having a criminal case pending against you is pretty high given your description of how easy it is to be accused of doing something illegal.

"...a lot of folks have wanted me to roll the dice on a funded startup with big put-a-dent-in-the-universe ambitions. At times, I wanted to want that for myself, but for the moment I was content to keep running my business in the traditional fashion. I work mostly on what I want to work on, take a day off whenever I feel like it, and optimize the business for quality of life rather than for any particular growth or financial targets."

We share the same viewpoint. Well said.

I detest U2 in basically every way, but to say he's not an artist is quite shortsighted.
