Thank you. I’m definitely still very “in the valley” since it’s only been a few months, but I am in counselling which helps. And I’ve lost close friends to suicide and addiction in the past, so going through those before has helped me not f

I can only imagine such a loss based on my own, and from the many conversations I’ve had with my wife’s mum as well, trying to be the best supports we can for each other. I would describe my wife similarly, it sounds like. Kind, value-drive

Thank you. It’s definitely the living definition of hell, a constant panic attack for a past you can’t change, but it’s also only been 3 months and I’m discovering resilience and supports I’m so thankful for. I also decided to go visit one

Sisyphean is the word I’ve come back to a lot myself since my wife took her life on November 6, 2024. Feeling like I’m now trying to live for both of us, grasping at ways of honouring her memory despite the incredible love we had being unab

Snarky comments I’m seeing here aside, this merits serious discussion. Does this affect software sales, in-app purchases, services? A lot of us with a lot hanging on the line right now.

I don't disagree with a lot of what he says here, but I feel like too many people in Silicon Valley are hyper-fixated on the conformity and enforcement coming from the left, while ignoring and even stoking the flames of anger and confo

I don't see much mention of secure environment variables. How are those treated?

Indeed. Search was working reliably for me for a while using gpt-4o via the API then yesterday suddenly stopped altogether right when I needed it. Hoping this fixes it soon.

The crazy thing to me is that since losing that weight people don't believe me and think I must be lying that I ever weighed more. I've even whipped out a photo once to prove it.

I gained about 50 lbs in my 20's by getting a sedentary job and eating poorly after moving out on my own. I spent a solid 2 years trying to lose weight by working out actively and lost nothing. When I changed my diet, I dropped it all

I make music and would be the main contact for several artists, but I'm not a label per se. Would I join separately for each, or will there be a way for each artist to be added under my account or on separate accounts? Thanks!

Oh nice! I gave a PechaKucha talk with the same title back in 2019[0]. Love the illustrated examples here. One thing I touched on in my talk was the idea that code is an art form that expresses the values of the artist by making something n

The endless drivel of recipe websites is another one, burying the actual recipe under an absolute mountain of slop.

Artists had plenty of thriving platforms to get their music out digitally before Spotify came along. The difference is almost every one of them paid better or let you sell your music. Spotify has accounted for artist music revenues dropping

This isn’t per artist, it’s per song, which means an artist might put out an album and only the single gets widespread play and if the few thousand plays the rest receive all fall just under 1k they’d be discounted to unpaid plays. Remember

"Rounding errors" like these always favour the larger players. It's a form of slowly extracting money that should have gone to smaller artists and instead gets funnelled into the pockets of major label artists who arguably do

Is there anything like this for interacting with the various social networks? I'm mainly just interested in a common auth + posting interface.

It always blows my mind seeing a post like this on HN and the top comments nitpick whether such a tax is needed. These people don't need defending and they don't need that much money (for comparison, this was posted on here the ot

As a chronic fidgeter (practically drumming with my legs at times), I wonder how much of a difference that makes. Also glad to be working in VR which makes me get up out of my chair a lot for testing.

This seems like an improvement over my current solution in that it can keep multiple projects open simultaneously and route to each of them, but does add more complexity to the setup. I'm using Dnsmasq ( https://thekelleys.or

One thing that trips me up when I see this 4 quadrant structure for documentation is when to go with a tutorial and when to go with a how-to. Curious how others delineate between those.

I’ve been working with the Quest for a few years and the Quest Pro for a month or so, and honestly the weight of the original Quest bothered me substantially until I got the upgraded strap. Like instant headaches. The Pro hasn’t bothered me
