Seems like the article doesn’t explain what’s going on in the video, right?

Anyone have a sense for what’s happening?

I am looking for someone to do a data crunch like this and see Oakland emerge as a big winner

myowz | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: My boss doesn't think I'm doing good work, how to proceed?

This boss telling you that they felt the project should have been done a long time ago: I wonder who that comment benefits? Feels like no one. You get bummed, they give late feedback without a lot of constructive aspects to it.

I am trying to think of one way it was useful to tell you that, but I can’t.

Seems like you should feel justified in not being a fan of working under this person. What you do with that is hard to say. Sounds like you got to work on a cool project and got to mostly solo it. That’s pretty great for a junior.

Please add iCloud! I just subscribed today. I really see the value in your app but just want optional no-thinking backup.

The casting of () seemed consciously inclusive, in a good way

myowz | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which city/town has the best climate according to you?

Oakland, CA - always in a comfortable range. Underrated in most “best weather” rankings.

Alex - love your work on Snowplow.

Looking at Jitsu as a Snowplow familiar person I tried to do a quick browse of their marketing site and couldn’t find anything about their back end architecture. Was immediately thinking that wasn’t the focus here which is concerning when thinking about enterprise scalable data patterns.

Also appreciate you taking the high road “room for both” while the founder of Jitsu says “we are better”

I’ll stick with the product with a solid schema strategy, thank you…

G already became alphabet, no one cared right?

myowz | 4 years ago | on: Install Signal

Simply from a UX perspective, I prefer using Signal over WhatsApp.

One main feature contributes to that: iMessage/Slack style 'reactions' to messages.

Being able to press down on a message and just respond with a thumbs up really helps with group threads.

What no code did you use?

An Oculus Quest 2 costs 300 + tax -- extremely memorable way to have an event in these times. And acts as a collaboration device and an amazing gift going forward.

myowz | 5 years ago | on: Lunar – macOS utility to set brightness and volume on external monitors

Quick feedback: I tried it for the first time, thinking to myself 'wow I really want to turn down the brightness on this darn monitor...its been bothering me for too long' and I didn't find the UX very easy to perform that immediate task. In fact, I have to say, just from quickly downloading this and trying to use it, I don't totally understand what it does...but I did figure out how to manually drop the settings to a more comfortable level, and I don't expect I'll be opening the software again except to manually turn it up and down (and each time I'll probably have to figure out how to go to that side page that is hard to get to)

Hope that made sense! Thanks for the software!!! :)
