    I've been trying to get better at chess recently. But also wanted to explore some AI agent development hands on on the side. So, I built an AI chess coach to analyze my games, lear…

    This is such a neat tool. The presentation is very pleasant. Is the intention to have the snippets/notes be shareable in the future? I actually made a similar tool [1] (though your…

    As a single guy, I prefer work from office. I'm sure if I was married with kids, I would prefer just the opposite.

    Yeah, I know that online "investing" is driven by hype these days. But, I was basically hoping that there was something out there that at least explores investing ideas out of the …

    Thanks, had not heard of The Art and Science of Technical Analysis, will definitely check it out. I read Intelligent Investor, but kind of felt it lacking, because I didn't feel li…

    Ask HN: What's the best place to get investing advice?

    Are there are any forums like HN, where you guys go to get investing advice/suggestions? I know Bogleheads is one, and I frequent it occasionally, but the advice seems to boil down…

    Looks interesting. Is there a benefit specific to using PHP for building the UI, like access to PHP libraries, etc.? Or is it for people already using PHP on the server-side, so th…

    Yeah, I prefer the discussions via essay format as well. Instead of the quick meme reactions. I guess it's good for comedy and being edgy, but not really for high quality ideas. I …

    I think he's getting at something important. I started writing for the same reason basically. But wish there was a way to network my writings with other people's writings. Maybe I …

    Just curious do people use these types of automations to help with coding/software engineering? If so, in what way?

    Had a boss once who insisted that all if statements should be pushed out to factory classes, and all control logic should be done by constructing a different instance of an interfa…

    I bought a PopOS Gazelle with an Nvidia GPU so I could play around with ML stuff. But, looking back on it, it might have been more efficient to just get a GPU instance on AWS or Go…

    Yeah, I feel like this article's outrage at the inability of prisoners to get used books is unwarranted. What actually deserves this level of outrage is the violence encountered by…

    Big +1. Most corporate software is pretty straightforward (the company likes it this way so that it's easier to onboard new engineers). So, you stand out by delivering something ot…

    Yeah, I'm the same way. I've gotten better at it though by "practicing." For me, it's the same process as strength training. You need progressive overload. Start with easy to read …

    The crypto aspect serves a very important feature, hype. Anything tangential to crypto gets the attention of all of crypto twitter. This would not have nearly as much money in it i…

    Don't necessarily think the distinction is low-compliance vs. high-compliance. Many developing countries are high-compliance, and enact oppressive measures all the time. I think it…

    Thanks for sharing this, you've inspired me to make some tiny projects as well :). Will Earlyname be your last project for a while, or do you plan on continuing at this pace?

    One of the bosses I had at a big bank told me the one thing she observed about successful people was that they never got hung up on mistakes. If they made a mistake, they just move…

    Thanks for sharing that, this is the first time I've seen this quote. I think most adults feel the same way about social media activism, but they probably don't think it's worth th…
