The 100 runs per month, if I had something like 500 it would be enough. But 100 per month, or 3 per day basically, it's too few. I'll take a look thanks! edit: looks good, I was able to create the same flow and the free tier is mo

There are a number of websites which provide this sort of features, but they don't work well on mobile. The initial idea was to have a map on a tablet so you can use it while watching the TV Show. But we haven't yet implemented t

I was so sure I was a Night OWL - and I started waking up to learn Swift development to change my career. And I got used to it. The trick is to go to sleep early at a set time and do keep at it for a few weeks.

huh? I am a huge Apple fan but my grandad uses a PC I built in 2012 and it's running the latest Windows OS (with updates). In the PC market that is no feat tbh. In the mobile market - yes.

I used to have an emacs setup which I ditched because I was tinkering with it too much. :) I switched to Things 3 on Mac/iOS which I love. Things 3 is both my GTD app of choice (it runs my life) and my inbox where I catch everything. W

Same for me. I prefer Apple hardware because I still consider it the best tool (maybe with the exception of the MBP keyboard). I won't go into debates with others about my choices (here in Europe most people prefer Windows laptops and

I think the book is targeted towards a younger audience which might explain the lack of more thorough insights into the topics he selected. More disappointing for me was the choice of some of these topics - some of them are covered very su

I had a similar experience. And I usually try to go through books I start even if I dislike them. But this one... it was too much...

Great article! CS Lewis always surprises me with his... "wise common sense". I'm constantly let down my modern books, some of them highly acclaimed. But the great filter explains it all perfectly. I'm going to take this

You can compare 63.8 to 100... it's lower... :) So the percent should be AT LEAST 1.9 :)

Counterpoint to your counterpoint :) What about smaller offices - say 4-6 people. Not as noisy, not as lonely.

I don't know why this was downvoted. I do my job really well, but I hate having people look over what I am doing... It might be an introvert thing or something, but I'm surprised when others view this as "what do you have to

Imo one approach is not going to work for all communities. A project like this which wants to satisfy the entire spectrum on various criterias should cede control to its users. Let the communities decide on every parameter that affects them

You are right... HN is starting to have a visibility issue. But I can't see how it can be fixed. All successful online communities have to deal with this aspect eventually. They all become too popular at one point and it's hard to

1. CS Lewis is my all-time, favorite author. 2. I am a Christian who believes in Christ. 3. I love the Narnia series. But I really dislike how Lewis uses allegory in his Narnian series. The Space Trilogy is much better in that respect and

Well considering that a large sub-set of people who hear voices commit suicide and/or kill their relatives in cold blood I would say that yes, central control is necessary.
