I like how you can play more than one bird at the same time.

I was digging deeper into the species selector and started playing others. It really makes for a realistic bird watching/listening experience :)

Thanks for making this!

For anyone else curious, on a touch pad you need to do the two finger tap on a country to get the data to appear. Then click into the result.

Has anyone experienced a drop in recruiter spam when removing your information from databrokers with those services? I have daily unsolicited recruiter emails in the last few years, and I'm not on linkedIn since 2018-ish, so I have no idea where they are getting my info from.

FWIW I opened a new tab and uploaded a different PDF, then proceeded to ask it about the previous PDF.

It swears it has never heard of it or anything about the previous PDF (rather, it suggests you go search the web).

So, at least it doesn't seem to leak your upload to other users. But I wonder what it does with the info.

Yes for several reasons:

out of habit,

spreading my browsing over several browsers (because I think competition is good),

cross-browser checking work on my work since I know there are users using it (both design and javascript has occasionally looked/worked differently from other popular browsers).

and lastly I like the non-business model feel of Mozilla

Noticed that too-- happened within about 5 mins of the comment.

Perhaps the poster is the author of article, and possibly the user gondaloof (they are both green accounts).

Or maybe the author of the article is just paying attention to HN.

I break down the feature/story into several tasks and label them as A) backend or B) frontend (occasionally there is only 1 or the other but usually there will be at least 1 task for backend and 1 for frontend). Link those tasks back to the master feature /story item. It will be marked done only when all the associated tasks are finished.

Then do those tasks separately, usually the backend first, and then pass it/assign the frontend task. The backend task is only considered finished when there are passing tests written with the frontend consumer (developer) in mind, proving they are provided with everything they will need. Document the API in a way/place a frontend developer can knows and understands.

If you write the requirements for the tasks very clearly, the whole process could go smoothly without a lot of back and forth between the backend and frontend developer. But sometimes there are things that weren't foreseen and so there could be a bit more to go back and do on the backend.

More often than not there are folks that are better at/hired for backend or frontend, so only assign the appropriate tasks to each of them. Sometimes there are full stack developers/solo developers who can do both. In that case I still follow this approach.

I've found myself in situation as well. Does anyone have advice on how to deal with the fear of handling users/user data for a product that you think people would love?

Is it incorporation for liability protection?

Terms of service docs that state nothing is hack proof?

Getting the right liability insurance?

In depth penetration tests prior to launching and continuously thereafter?

Continuously monitoring for suspicious activity on a server to detect hacks?

Good Bye Skype 6 years ago

I can't quit it because I haven't found an alternative for Skype numbers, and calls to landlines.

Think of something you want for yourself or to exist, and then build a simple version of it by researching each objective in simple terms, and you will learn by doing.
