This is dope.

I'm inspired to write more in 2026 and publish more of the things I just make for myself.

A green card through marriage comes initially as a “conditional” / 2 year card, and then your husband would have to apply to remove the conditions (ie show he’s still married) after that two year period. If you get divorced before the green card is even processed it might not make it that far…

Checking it out!

killa_kyle | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: I created a Chrome extension to help keep good posture while browsing

I think of the extension as a nice occasional reminder. I personally use it almost like "exercise". Turn it on for a while when I'm casually browsing, and it just helps build a habit of checking my posture. It's just one more tool I use on my health journey.

Thanks for taking a look. Currently the "posture detection" is only considering the Y-axis deviation of your right eye from a predetermined baseline value, but if there's enough interest it could be expanded to consider those specific positions. MoveNet, the pose detection model I'm using is capable of that.

Currently the extension relies on you to set the "good posture" baseline. You sit up to what you think is good posture, set the baseline, and then when you start slouching you'll move from the green to red.

killa_kyle | 4 years ago | on: Mental health impacts of a big tech job

I worked as a mover in NYC for years before becoming a software developer. Even though I make more money and have an easier life in many ways now, the mental fatigue of working a "knowledge" job is stressful in ways that outweigh most of my hardest physically and emotionally taxing days moving.

nice! played until the ending so far.

killa_kyle | 6 years ago | on: Apple Watch Series 5

I handle this with an elastic phone waist band (google flip belt for an example). I don't think about the phone at all and do everything from the watch

I love FullCalender! I've been using it for the past 4 years and have made a few scheduling apps with it.

I have the 5k iMac with slow hard drive. I ended up getting a USB3 SSD and booting the system from that drive. Works great. much faster.

I commuted for years from Queens and Brooklyn to Wall St. NYC is mostly flat, good to commute during the nicer months.

I really like grapesjs, using it as a newsletter builder. Good luck on grapedrop.

killa_kyle | 8 years ago | on: Strava heatmap can be used to locate military bases

Strava already has an option to mask your starting location. It tracks it from your house, but the public data hides a certain radius around your start and finish locations

Only the Blue and Red Lines are 24 hours IIRC

killa_kyle | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Google Doc email virus?

This is burning through our office right now. emailing all clients! diablo!

killa_kyle | 9 years ago | on: In Brooklyn, Uber is now bigger than taxis

This is my primary reason for using Uber. Getting a taxi as a black person in NYC is tough. I usually have to wait on the curb for my (non-black) wife to flag one and then walk up to it once it stops for her.

With Uber/Lyft/Juno etc, there's at least some accountability for the driver. NYC's 311 process isn't enough to deter cabbies that just don't want to pick up black people.

killa_kyle | 9 years ago | on: Racial Fault Lines in Silicon Valley

color is any ethnicity that's not "white". In the U.S. it's mostly used to refer to black people, but Asians, Hispanics, etc are also considered "colored"
