The funny (not-so-funny?) thing is that reading this if I didn't know better, I'd figure we worked at the same company and I'm sure that most people reading this have a similar story. That's the sad state of the tech ind

For this use-case, maybe compression and then encoding would get more data into the URL before you hit a limit (or before users complain)? I.e. .md -> gzip -> base64

Likely my own personal bias, but I have never once found git log/commit messages to be useful when debugging or understanding what happened. I'm sure that others do so I try to write useful commits (conventional commits syntax is

I've been working on an idea for a logging proxy to track down where internal->external calls are coming from and optionally block them. Been using various AI tools as a way of both getting more comfortable with prompting and learni

Several things while I'm between full time gigs, working on learning rust for my own pleasure: - Rust Lab Log ( https://github.com/bryan-lott/rust-lab-log ) a simple CLI to take down notes and timestamp them in a si

May not be the most shiny/flashy thing, but I'm trying to figure out how to get out of burnout (adhd/autism/tech - all the varieties) without having to quit the world for six months.

I purchased the collection after reading this review. It was always a series that I wanted to read when I was younger but never did. Trying to get back into reading fiction again and this felt like a great place to start!

The concept of "learning styles" has a pretty large mountain of evidence disproving its validity. Just a quick sample from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Criticism While it may be a

Just wanted to say thank you for working on this, I'm going to take another read-through of those 2 links and see if it makes more sense given the extra context of this thread. Either way, I look forward to reading the updates and seei

I suppose what I'm looking for is maybe a translation from git to jj from the perspective of working in a repo with other users that are using git. Something along the lines of: 1. init jj in an existing git repo 2. instead of branchin

by mystickphoenix 2y ago
Something that I've been struggling to wrap my brain around is: 1. Can I use jj inside a repo that was already initialized with git? I think the answer is yes, but I haven't found a tl;dr for it. 2. What does the workflow look lik

Not trying to hijack, but in addition, I'd love to know how we can fight back beyond just archiving data. HN tends to lean heavily into tech skills. How can we leverage those skills collectively or individually to prevent needing to ar

Agree - in my 10+ year career, I've run into exactly 2 PM's that have provided enough value to a team or project to justify their inclusion in the team or project. Both were technical enough to understand what the engineers were w

Just wanted to say you've built an amazing product. So much so that I got my team hooked on it and am working on getting it out to the rest of the company that needs it. Well done!!

Currently use markdown files + dropbox for sync. I can't seem to stick with a single notes app for any appreciable length of time but having files in plain text makes it easier to switch. Currently using: - Obsidian: this one has stuck

Add another vote for mise. For me it replaced asdf, pyenv, poetry, and direnv. Biggest thing for me is it _just works_:tm:.

Someone else already mentioned Autism and ADHD, possibly a combination. Those would be my first guesses. Another one is potentially migraines. They aren't always "a bad headache" as they tend to be portrayed but can run the g

Reminded me of a tool that I created and use daily (and that I need to get back to adding some functionality to!) Among the things I need to do are... add a readme! But it's a low friction (for me) way to keep a log of what I've d

For me learning Rust isn't about "OMG this is my #forever-language", it's more about presenting me with a new way of thinking about and through problems. I code 99% in Python at my day job and when I made the effort&#x2F

I found that https://endel.io/ worked better for me than brain.fm. YMMV of course, but it's worth a try if brain.fm isn't your jam.
