I watch this at least once a year, it never gets old

xxandroxygen | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any comprehensive courses on Auth?

I took my CS security course from Windley. I’ve often wondered how his sovereign identity stuff is going

xxandroxygen | 3 years ago | on: A suspiciously criminal portfolio website

Weird, I just scrolled through the whole thing on my phone just fine

xxandroxygen | 4 years ago | on: Docker for Mac Without Docker Desktop

Multipass has been my docker desktop replacement of choice, I really like it (even in the non-M1 days I never liked docker desktop and used dinghy which was a wrapper around docker-machine)

Wait there was a mention of RAM today - up to 16Gb!

xxandroxygen | 5 years ago | on: How Mormons built a startup ecosystem in Utah

Yep, “as-near-as” free is right. A semester’s tuition at BYU is $3k for Mormons, and it doubles to $6k for non-members (though that’s still pretty cheap, relatively)

xxandroxygen | 6 years ago | on: One way to fight a coronavirus recession: $1k for every American

You're right, a thousand bucks a person won't save those things. But the people who /were/ working at those restaurants/bars/etc now have a way to buy food for the month. People aren't leaving the house but they sure still need to spend on food, rent, basics.

xxandroxygen | 6 years ago | on: More bosses give four-day workweek a try

But 32 hours is enough to qualify for benefits.

xxandroxygen | 6 years ago | on: My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file

I put each new day at the top, it works better for me. Sounds like OP appends at the bottom.

that's a strange kind of gatekeeping to assume that these metrics are the measure of a reader's enjoyment of this post.

yes this is a great post, and makes a great point quickly. why do you need to bag on those who haven't met these arbitrary metrics?

You probably already know this, but you can drag left and right on the “home button” bar, and it switches apps for you!

xxandroxygen | 6 years ago | on: At what time of day do famous programmers work?

nah most likely `rebase -i`

xxandroxygen | 6 years ago | on: The student loan crisis is really an underemployment catastrophe

man a first look at that tree map made it seem strangely mis-represented... like there is no way there are that many dental assistants. Pro tip for viewers: zoom all the way out

xxandroxygen | 6 years ago | on: The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet

I agree, I was pretty confused when dark forests went from "things hiding from predators" to "safe, separate spaces to communicate"

You're getting downvoted but in the end you're right - Star Wars is an epic fantasy with science-fiction-y things in it, hence why it doesn't follow rules about things like sound in space

Love it, that's what I figured, and I agree with the aim!

the project's philsophy seems to be "use a bundler that works and don't reinvent it" so I bet adding a TS bundler would be a possibility, that'd be awesome

xxandroxygen | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Zero – A fast, zero-configuration server for React, Node.js, Markdown

this is impressive! I would absolutely reach for this first when scraping something together quickly. I'd be super interested in seeing numbers for just how far this can scale before falling over.
