At work we call this implicit steering. To use webdev metaphor, if a non-technical person describes making a web page with a big block at the top and some things to click on and then my pictures below that, that will eventually get somewher

I would love to hear more about your advice and the coaching you are giving to management. We also have a strong push to prove evidence of climbing productivity with clearly state future staffing goals. I would like to advocate for this, at

I use a CICD tool called Vela.(No relationship to the k8s tool also called Vela.) It's mostly docker all the way down. Reminds me of bit bucket pipelines. Maybe worth checking out if GHA is just too opaque.

I had immich running great for a while, maybe for months. It would seamlessly sync photos from phone to local home server. I was going to setup nightly outbound sync too (1 is none, 2 is some). I updated the container for usual appliance ma

On some previous version of Samsung's UI, they followed the Apple trend of splitting the swipe down interaction, one side for notifications and one side for setting. It was extremely confusing. Luckily Samsung included a toggle to reve

Lurking, occasionally commenting, rarely posting. I've read HN everyday since I started working in the industry since March 2016. I appreciate what HN is and the shared culture. Thanks all, and have a great day.

Missing search and weird ssh control character issues are my blockers. It's great otherwise!

My team is worried about that too. We've been a java and spring shop for years. We're looking at micronaut, it's similar enough. When I had someone from another team take a look at broadcom and what they could do to spring, t

I've been paying for NYT for five years. I remember the NYT paywall before that. I've been interested in local news so after my 5th hit in recent memory hitting my local newspaper's paywall, I finally bought a year subscripti

We used SML in my undergrad compilers course. I really loved the language and I started exploring other languages outside of class after that.

I've used mine as a personal knowledge base that happens to be public. It's silly how many times I've come up in search results months or years later after I'd forgotten having solved this problem before. A semi-related

It's unfortunate that the pbtest.org tool links out to a service with an expired cert.

That's probably the same bootcamp that my friend took. I was really excited for them, but unfortunately the bootcamp was of poor quality. No enforced gates, no meaningful feedback on code quality, too little explicit mentoring on tech

Our design team has been charged with making a refreshed, design system. That's all in Figma so far. Nothing has touched a real browser or a real device (tablet, phone). I've coached them to _try_ their design system in code soone

Similarly to how someone else shared, I've added a Hacking Time to Friday afternoons on calendar. I've been using this time for over a year. Try a new tool, try a different approach, try cloning another team's repo, experimen

This year my employer started using Hacker Rank as a "step in the interview process". During the first dozen or so of interviews, most candidates ended up running out of time and "failing". Well it turns out, if you look

I have the same desk from Costco. I'm so glad there's a lockout button on the side of mine. My cat would trigger it constantly otherwise.

I use the HACK app, a hacker news reader app, for android. It has collapsing sections and jump to next top level comment. Between these two functions reading long threads even with deeply nested comments isn't too bad.

The University of Minnesota Twin Cities offered Gmail to students when I attended '11-'15. They allowed alumni to keep the account and I respectfully used it, though infrequently, and kept my account active with reminders to log i

I haven't tried it yet but I'm guessing this will fold into a different visual representation in IntelliJ when the cursor isn't nearby. It's not pretty but if it's consistent I guess it's fine.

An anecdote: I hadn't taken the iPad seriously. It didn't have the apps I needed to get things done, either in my personal life or work life. Or it didn't have the physical aspects (why stream on a small screen when I have a

I think this is cool. This has given a use case for llm at work, using them to prescreen ideas and generate FAQ material. First time it worked great even with only a link. Second time I had it generate some comments based on a small prompt

Samsung often runs aggressive trade-in programs during their launch window. Later, there are first party and third party discounts and deal, plus carrier bundles too. There's definitely price creep in the iPhone lineup and I'm sur

Hey, this looks great! In your readme, in the "A bit of history", it should be `has many fewer features` On a more technical note, I wondered if you have any stories working with Prisma and Next? It works but every ORM has its pro

In my market in Minnesota, Diet coke with "plant based sweetener" is being sold in small quantities. I'm sure it's a market test, and probably good timing based on this too.

I recently saw a cool trick with css and tables. Using after pseudo selector with content and the attr css function, the small viewport layout showed the th labels without having to have two simultaneous tables in the dom. I think the downs
