What about standups? Are you implying that having to be somewhere at a certain time in the morning impedes your ability to go to sleep at a reasonable time so you can get a healthy amount of sleep?
I’m not sure if there’s another word besides “patriotism”, but there certainly is a sense of continental pride amongst many (especially western) Europeans that mimics what American’s have for their nation (and not, e.g., their state [Texans aside])
I like Ayn Rand as much as the next HN consumer, but let’s be a bit more judicious in how we apply her ideals.
If you earned your wealth through driving on public roads, after receiving a public education, without it actually being blatantly stolen due to a public police force, etc etc etc.
Then it is also your responsibility to pay for these items so that they dan continue to be used for future generation.
My biggest hurdle when trying C# (along with a very select few other languages) is that it’s very difficult to get working properly in my own environment.
I use an apple computer and prefer to write my code in a simple text editor. Getting C# (or god forbid C++) just running in such a way that I can just focus on the code and not the surrounding environment or build tools took me long enough the last time I tried, that I decided to just not use C#.
Why question a human’s innate desire to raise their own off-spring like we’ve evolved to do for millions of years?
So often people chime in with the “just adopt” and while I agree in a perfect world, that’s exactly what would happen, but in reality it goes against a very fundamental part or human nature to opt to raise someone else’s child instead of your own. It just completely misses the human element of why people are so naturally driven have kids and families to begin with.
Python is popular precisely because non-programmers are able to rearrange snippets and write rudimentary programs without a huge time investment in learning the language or tooling. It’s a very high level language with syntactic sugar that has a lot of data science libraries which can call C code for performance, which makes it great for data scientists.
It would be a huge detriment and time sink for these data scientist to take the time to learn to write an equivalent C program if their ultimate goal is to do data science.
I've had significant struggles with my mental health over the past 2 years. These past few months, I've made significant strides in the recovery process and am finally beginning to feel like my old-self. For the first time in those 2 years, I finally got the motivation to work on a personal project. In my free time over the course of about two weeks, I managed to throw together what I'm sharing with you now, the Clean Room Club.
I built it because I noticed that a key indicator of my mental health was the cleanliness of my living space. When the depression got bad, so did my hygiene and my environment. Waking up to a filthy bedroom with trash everywhere just perpetuated the cycle, and it would get really hard to break out of. The rare times I was able to get myself out of bed long enough to clean however, would have compounding positive effects on my mental health. I'd wake up to a clean living space ready to tackle the day, go to bed feeling at ease, etc etc etc.
Both the concept and underlying technology is pretty simple. You make an account, upload photos of your clean room each day, build daily streaks, and can browse photos others have uploaded for motivation. All for free, of course. And that’s it! I have features I plan to add. But as is it serves it's core purpose, which is to keep you accountable to yourself. While others can see the photos you upload, there is zero personal information tied to them.
That all said, I'd love feedback regarding the design, any bugs you encounter, feature requests, or anything else. If you end up using it, and it helps you even a little, I’d love to hear that as well. Design/UX especially isn't my strong suit, as you'll soon discover.
Also please note, I’m using there free tier both on supabase and my chosen SMTP provider. I don’t expect this to get popular enough for either of those to be a limiting factor, but if it does there may be technical issues.
Its also open source if you want to see the source code. Built with typescript and react:
(p.s. I’m looking for a job, please feel free reach out if you believe I’d be a good fit for your team)
