At work we call this implicit steering. To use webdev metaphor, if a non-technical person describes making a web page with a big block at the top and some things to click on and th…

I would love to hear more about your advice and the coaching you are giving to management. We also have a strong push to prove evidence of climbing productivity with clearly state …

I use a CICD tool called Vela.(No relationship to the k8s tool also called Vela.) It's mostly docker all the way down. Reminds me of bit bucket pipelines. Maybe worth checking out …

I had immich running great for a while, maybe for months. It would seamlessly sync photos from phone to local home server. I was going to setup nightly outbound sync too (1 is none…

On some previous version of Samsung's UI, they followed the Apple trend of splitting the swipe down interaction, one side for notifications and one side for setting. It was extreme…

Lurking, occasionally commenting, rarely posting. I've read HN everyday since I started working in the industry since March 2016. I appreciate what HN is and the shared culture. Th…

The loss of Google Reader really does feel like the beginning of the end in retrospect.

Missing search and weird ssh control character issues are my blockers. It's great otherwise!

My team is worried about that too. We've been a java and spring shop for years. We're looking at micronaut, it's similar enough. When I had someone from another team take a look at…

I've been paying for NYT for five years. I remember the NYT paywall before that. I've been interested in local news so after my 5th hit in recent memory hitting my local newspaper'…

We used SML in my undergrad compilers course. I really loved the language and I started exploring other languages outside of class after that.

I've used mine as a personal knowledge base that happens to be public. It's silly how many times I've come up in search results months or years later after I'd forgotten having sol…

It's unfortunate that the pbtest.org tool links out to a service with an expired cert.

That's probably the same bootcamp that my friend took. I was really excited for them, but unfortunately the bootcamp was of poor quality. No enforced gates, no meaningful feedback …

Our design team has been charged with making a refreshed, design system. That's all in Figma so far. Nothing has touched a real browser or a real device (tablet, phone). I've coach…

Similarly to how someone else shared, I've added a Hacking Time to Friday afternoons on calendar. I've been using this time for over a year. Try a new tool, try a different approac…

This year my employer started using Hacker Rank as a "step in the interview process". During the first dozen or so of interviews, most candidates ended up running out of time and "…

I have the same desk from Costco. I'm so glad there's a lockout button on the side of mine. My cat would trigger it constantly otherwise.

I use the HACK app, a hacker news reader app, for android. It has collapsing sections and jump to next top level comment. Between these two functions reading long threads even with…

I have my 401k managed through Vanguard currently. Previously Principal with a former employer. I have other savings and investment in other providers, managed by a financial advis…

The University of Minnesota Twin Cities offered Gmail to students when I attended '11-'15. They allowed alumni to keep the account and I respectfully used it, though infrequently, …

I haven't tried it yet but I'm guessing this will fold into a different visual representation in IntelliJ when the cursor isn't nearby. It's not pretty but if it's consistent I gue…

An anecdote: I hadn't taken the iPad seriously. It didn't have the apps I needed to get things done, either in my personal life or work life. Or it didn't have the physical aspects…

I think this is cool. This has given a use case for llm at work, using them to prescreen ideas and generate FAQ material. First time it worked great even with only a link. Second t…
