How do I roll it back?

Ask HN: Best desktop stack (Mac) to manage Instagram account?

forthispurpose — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 01:42:26 +0000

What are the best options today for managing Instagram account from the desktop? Not looking to break TOS with bots etc., just make the life as easy as possible when it comes to scheduling, posting etc..

Budget is a factor - not looking to pay enterprise level subscriptions for this.

whats the alternative for the ubiquitous payment processor on the web with a centralized interface that allows to communicate with the seller / buyer, addresses complaints, allows to cancel subscriptions etc?

Anyone knows a good yoga forum?

Ask HN: Self-hosting interactive app prototype?

forthispurpose — Sun, 18 Aug 2019 03:10:28 +0000

What is the best tool / way to export and self-host (on something like S3) an interactive click-through protoype?

All I could find was some kind of SAAS like Invision etc.

I want to export the html & JS and host it on my site. Is it possible? Do I need XD or Sketch or something else for it?

The app in question is for iOS

If you like Shpongle btw - check out Solar Fields - not quite the same but I feel like they are carrying the torch in a sense

being able to fold a simple origami crane at any given moment is a very satisfying skill, unfortunately, it fades if you don't practice it enough. I learned how to fold origami cranes at least 3 times in my life

Since it is completely automated and the code is doing all the processing, why is the price so high and why is there even a charge is per artboard?

Sketch is like 1/10th of that

Is it just an impression or is UK indeed the most enthusiastic of all Western countries when it comes to performing mass surveillance on its citizens?

Seems like it runs way deeper and broader than in US

New comment by forthispurpose in "The food industry’s new favorite protein source: peas"

forthispurpose — Wed, 15 May 2019 01:40:14 +0000

oh god it's the most disgusting of all proteins. can anyone really consume it without any additives? I thought hemp protein was pretty bad, but oh boy does pea take the crown.

Rice protein tastes ok (a bit like mushrooms), but casein and of collagen protein are the only ones that are actually tasty by themselves, just diluted with water.

I really really wanted to like pea protein, but calling it wet cardboard is really doing a disservice to the wet cardboard cuisine.

I fear with this kind of campaign behind it it will now find its way to the majority of shakes and meals and the taste will be just everywhere.

Ask HN: What back end can provide noticeable performance improvement over Rails?

forthispurpose — Mon, 06 May 2019 15:09:41 +0000

Hi, pretty much the subj.

What backend framework / technology, if any would provide a noticeable performance in loading / response times over latest Rails?

Provided that:

1) Rails project is fairly optimized (Pagespeed 90+ etc.).

2) No particular requirements, such as an extreme concurrency (not trying to replicate Discord etc.) or extra-large downloads or video streaming / video chat / deep learning, just a very fast website with a database and a backend that serves it.

New comment by forthispurpose in "Tobacco Use Is Soaring Among US Kids, Driven by E-cigarettes"

forthispurpose — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 03:39:55 +0000

because smoking addiction is largely psychological

smoking a 0mg e-cig is as pleasing as smoking an e-cig loaded with nicotine. Speaking from personal experience of smoking over 10 years. Quit at some point for a few years, found out about e-cigs, made some 0mg juice myself, enjoyed it. Burned a few e-cigs and eventually bounced back to regular cigarettes. Smoked for a few years, then quit for good.

The pleasure of a cigarette is not in the effect that nicotine has, but more in the ritual, watching the smoke coming out your mouth, the burning sensation, the deeper inhalation.

I wonder what are those
