Who's heard of those? Should a project have a monopoly on such a generic word from the dictionary?
That's not what they're saying at all. Imagine if there was a line of blenders called Raspberry Pi, and a furniture line called Raspberry Pi, shoes branded as Raspberry Pi, a laptop model called Raspberry Pi (unrelated to Raspberry Pi or Raspberry Pi), etc. It's just confusing.

I think the (currently top) comment about it's name is actually important ... I also wondered why it was named "Helm" once I read the title as it didn't seem to fit what the application does. But you're right in the sense a more constructive activity would be to recommend other names. Wouldn't a name like "Relax" or "Exhale" be better in line with "what's in the package"? (note that these were the first two names tha…
I personally would prefer something like Burrito or Ossobuco /s
Language needs an upgrade
We should be able to aid each other, in person, on learning how to manage these ailments, which are frequently associated to a lack of social fulfillment, as I've personally experienced on myself. Gamifying it is literally the last option I would recommend to anyone suffering from anxiety, stress or depression, as blindly following an app's dictates goes essentially against the hard, introspective, and highly critica…
I do hear what you're saying, and nothing replaces social interaction, but I think you're making an assumption about this being a be-all-end-all. Maybe it would be for some, but those are probably the people who wouldn't adequately find in-person on their own anyway. Maybe this gets them far enough to do so, since just being functional enough to get help in the first place is often one of the biggest problems.
On another note, everyone's different. It's one thing to say what works for you, but your social fulfillment will likely be higher if you don't tell everyone else what will and won't work for them.
Who can accurately assess and answer the question: "How anxious are you?"?
Just reading this question triggers a bit of anxiety, as I go into self-analysis mode to figure out what signs I've been exhibiting that may indicate that I am "anxious".
"Well, I have been a bit jittery, so...7? But I just finished a coffee, so maybe a 5?"
I would have a very difficult time answering this question accurately.

Raspberry Pi is a really unnatural combination of words. Helm is a pretty average noun.
This project name is so overused. Helm - The package manager for Kurbenetes https://helm.sh/ Helm - A functionally reactive game engine https://github.com/z0w0/helm Helm - Emacs incremental completion and selection narrowing framework https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/ Helm - A free polyphonic synth with lots of modulation https://github.com/mtytel/helm

Among FP enthusiasts, the helm FRP engine is pretty interesting, too.
So, at least the first 3 I mentioned are pretty well known in their respective communities.
The last one is from the last Show HN I saw for a Helm project.

I can see it now. The get-togethers where you ask your tech-illiterate friends and family, "have you heard of Burrito?" and they all look at you funny. As opposed to, "have you heard of Helm?", and only that one friend who worked on a boat for a summer gets excited that he can add something to conversation. Language needs an upgrade
Oof, I thought Flutter was supposed to make programmatic UI more readable/easy? body: Stack( children: [ LayoutBuilder( builder: (ctx, constraints) => Container( width: double.infinity, height: constraints.maxHeight - 67.0, padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(20.0, 20.0, 20.0, 0.0), child: Column( mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min, crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start, children: [ Column( mainAxisSize: MainAxis .…
From my experience, using the above style with its data binding is nicer than hunting through XML or whatever GUI you use and seeing how that relates to your code.
Easier to navigate and debug. But I agree it can look overwhelming if it’s not split into smaller widgets.

True it may not technically be open source, but certain rights are granted because the author published on GitHub, according to the ToS: > If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functiona…
That doesn't grant any meaningful rights at all. Notably, it doesn't given any right to download or use the code.
> By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).
If I clone a Github repo to my local machine this is 'making my own copy in a repository I control'. But this clause doesn't grant any further right, e.g., to compile code in the repo. This isn't an unheard-of situation: e.g., Knuth allows distribution of the TeX source to the TeXbook but not compiling the source with a TeX engine.
I'm not a fan of the "Buy something nice" one. It seems like it might feed a harmful coping mechanism.
Definitely a bad coping mechanism - not helpful for feeling better (tend to feel worse when the product arrives), and definitely a waste of money.
