asr21 | 3 years ago | on: Netflix’s bad habits have caught up with it

It was a good movie, but not a great movie. I would be surprised if you would rate that movie in top 20 for the last decade.

For me, starting anything is the most tough part, but once I start something I will work on it, I am good. What I do is to turn on the music and make myself start. For some tasks, I usually get engrossed so much that I don't hear the music or lyrics at all. Other times, I force myself to do something with the beat of the music. ( I listen to all kinds of music, for some reason lo-fi playlists won't work for starting my work, I listen to some pop or rap or rock)

There are some things you can have an impact on. Why not try being a really good person and not an asshole. Nothing matters in the world anyway, you won't get anything by being mean to anyone.

You can try to have good memories with your family and friends. Sure, everyone will be gone after a few years and nobody will ever remember you. But you are here now, might as well have fun.

asr21 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to use technical analysis for long term investing?

Indian here, so I won't know if this works on NASDAQ or US stock market in general. Also, I have traded only a short time in bear market. Most of my trading is in Bull Market. So take my input with a truck load of salt .

The thing worked for me, is the simple concept of Support and Resistance and Dow theory ( Higher high, Higher low all that shit.) . So let's say there is a certain point or a range after which , it usually bounces back . That's the support and I would buy at that range.

One more logic here was, let's say a stock is trading at 50. It's support is at 48. I can afford to lose 100$ in this trade. So I would get 50 shares at 50$. If it goes below 48. I will take my loss of 100$ . Exit that position. It's more about calculated gambling

Experts have a problem with everything

asr21 | 4 years ago | on: The Coronavirus Is Here Forever

Totally agree with you, after both of my shots are done. I have been vaccinated, my parents have been vaccinated. A major percentage of the country is vaccinated. Even if after vaccination, I can get covid, then I am willing to take the risk of dying. What else am I supposed to do? How many years will we be in this state. Let's just accept that this is harsh truth about humanity and move on.

Not the guy you are replying too, but the strategy does seem to have parallels to D Mart growth strategy vs Big Bazaar(Future Retail) .

Hahahaha.. same thing I did. I didn't realise there is a thing called hidden files.. I went to a folder in system32 and it seemed empty to me.. I was like let's delete it.. I deleted some 10-20 folders like these and when I try to restart the OS.. it wouldn't load.

asr21 | 4 years ago | on: A curated list of books on Software Architecture

What kind of curation is this?

Did you just literally search for books on software architecture on the internet . I can guarantee that the OP didn't even read 50%.

asr21 | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: I’m an introvert – made an app to help maintain connections with people

I am introvert but this has never been a problem for me. I have gotten addicted to social media. So when I feel bored.. I call and message my friends .

asr21 | 4 years ago | on: Trying to study textbooks effectively: a year of experimentation

I am just finding more about this space . Correct me if I am wrong, My understanding is Anki is helpful when you want to remember some extremely detailed information (might even be considered as trivia by some). My usecase isn't like that. I just want to remember the main concepts of everything. Don't want to remember things like who developed that thing or when was it developed.

Have you been able to do this ?
