I played a game pretty similar to this when I was a kid. It was a Game and Watch style game with two buttons on a simple LCD screen. I got it for free with a happy meal. Bull.

Taking notes, taking notes, taking notes. Notepad as an external memory is just an amazing game changer for this. Doesn't even need to be deep, just a running tally of what you're thinking to get it to somewhere that you can reference it instead of running it on a loop in your short term memory. Makes fading in and out of it so much easier. I treat it like a conversation with myself half the time and the other half the time like I'm writing a reference book for someone else. Its worked well for fresh code, code to be, and analyzing existing code made by someone else. Cannot recommend it enough.

accept every recruiter that contacts you on LinkedIn the moment you click "available". Don't filter too strongly, just accept everything that won't be a hassle to try the interview at. Then just practice through real interviews.

Anecdotal, obviously, but I have 20/10 vision and aphantasia.

I have trouble trusting this when the first thing I see is AI Art. It makes me think the article might have been generated too.

Slightly fancier paste bin with markdown support that I want to turn into a group editing service that takes inspiration from pull request style workflows.

they probably have a good interface for personal library tracking

Show HN: Linki, the Distributed Wiki

kinos — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 04:47:38 +0000

Hi everyone! I wanted to build a library that can be used to created distributed wikis, because I want people to have tools to run their own wiki as easy as it is to start a git repository and I want them to use each others' works. I want it to be as easy to share a git repository too. I want people sharing information by subscribing to each other and contributing to each other.

I have a lot to say about what caused this to become a reality inside my README.

Its pretty simple right now, and I hope to keep it simple but powerful in the future. I want to add more backends to it, improve its transfer methods, and improve its history storage. I want to create powerful frontends for it that have the powerful utility of github and wikipedia.

Consider this a soft release. I'm looking for guidance from those who become interested in it. Please share any ideas or recommendations as Issues. I want to see that 0.0.x turn into a 0.1.x as soon as possible and give it a grand release soon.

The only thing preventing me from jumping right onto this is the fact it doesn't seem to be an oauth2 provider, and it doesn't seem to have the verify/reset/etc jobs necessary for username & password.

Verify/reset/etc is always what pushes me away from doing multi-user webapps. Its a headache every time due to needing to think about e-mail, and I'd love an all-in-one oauth2 provider with signup and etc thats super lightweight and just does everything through an API.

Buddy this is the most corporate bootlicking statement I've seen in a while. I think I see what I hope you're going for and would love to hear that this advice is oriented towards achieving your own goals and not the goals of someone you don't fundamentally agree with.

Haha, yeah. I guess things like Cargo bikes don't exist. Nor does just bringing your stuff onto the train and putting it into it's cargo holds. Or bringing your cargo bike onto the train.

Yup, private carriages are the only option for your occasional weekly or monthly tasks.

I guess its also just outright impossible to just allow for mixed zoning that'd allow for daily grocery shopping as well.

Buddy you had every ability to half ass that on-call and no one would have faulted you for it and it would have resulted in the corporation realizing they needed to harden that duty better.

Delegate the prioritization by using a template similar to this one.

I use a laptop cause I can't sit right for a desktop. I'm currently resting my laptop on my leg. I have my other leg tucked under that leg. The back of my chair is being used as an arm rest.

Companies don't reward morality, they're trained to extract as much value out of a resource as possible - it is the duty of a worker to establish limits and enforce them at every opportunity. "Doing only what needs to be done" is a perfectly normal limit.

If the Netherlands are anything to go off of, thats just due to lack of infrastructure that trains people and helps prevent mixed traffic and conflicts caused by mixed traffic.
