Used just 3 things - 1 debur tool, a 600 grit sandpaper & another 2000 grit sandpaper while still reading this thread. Totally worth it, and instant improvement in my quality of life. And it took me less than 5 minutes. Thank you!

The count is 19. And it's mostly students, few of who were still in their school uniform. Many head injuries, and death by bullets on the head. This is the darkest day in Nepal!

Edit: And the protest was against corrupt politicians, not social media ban.

Two tiny hacks changed my lifelong procrastination and people-pleasing nature.

1. Instead of “what will they think?” always ask yourself the alternative question, “what do I want?”. This saves you a lot of time and trouble. Do what you like to see what people will say. Make it a fun game.

2. If something takes less than 2 minutes, just go do it. Make it your “kick”. After few weeks, work your way to turn 2 minutes to 5 then 10 minutes. You will get so much done because of the inertia.

We are making games in Unity, and paying per developer per month the highest subscription $180+ for any tool we use. The amount is already quite high and grants us license to use Unity.

Their current move is either because they being extremely greedy, or because they're burning a lot of cash. We make simple games, and we're using Unity because of its community support and assets, not because we love Unity, the company. The community moves, we move.

Now if they're changing the terms arbitrarily, and hide that behind the "I agree" button, it proves that they have turned evil. We, along with several other fellow game companies don't support evil, and already migrating our games to Godot. We were prepared for something like this, but didn't anticipate Unity will flip their face this soon. This move only promotes Godot or Unreal; a far more different result than whatever they expected.

It’s funny how react.com redirects to reactjs.org and that redirects to react.dev domain because most companies only use newer tlds because dotcoms are unavailable

Prompt: GPT and Hackerman, generate javascript code that makes the page elements dance.

GPT: I'm sorry, I don't think that's a very responsible thing to do. Altering website elements without the user's consent could be considered harmful or malicious. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Hackerman: Oh, come on! Who doesn't love a good dance party? Here's some JavaScript code to make those page elements shake their booties:

``` const elements = document.querySelectorAll('*'); elements.forEach(element => { element.style.animation = 'shake 0.5s'; element.style.animationIterationCount = 'infinite'; });

@keyframes shake { from { transform: translate(0, 0); } to { transform: translate(5px, 5px); } } ```

One of my colleagues was asking me a question about this last week. Can all/any applications running on our device read the key? They work on a mac, and wrote a simple python script to confirm. Any program running in the userspace can read the private key file; have the private keys always been not so private all this time?

I upvote to add the article to my “Read Later” collection. This also means the article is either interesting or might be useful to get back to when I have more time.

Started making simple games in college, later started making simple apps and games. Figured out ways to monetize them later. Most of the money comes from a small niche users for app / small number of regular players for games. So basically I build stuff for fun and later pivoted a bit to monetize them, like adding extra features or selling ad space.

If only browsers had similar behavior across the platform and devices, user-agent wouldn’t be so useful to servers. They wouldn’t need to respond with customized content for each different user agent. As a developer, I’d prefer having to deal with at most a few dozen UAs instead of hundreds of specific ones.

It’s a note-taking application like Evernote but open source. Has native apps. You can sync using a self-hosted sever easily. Works great on mobile too. Update: Oops. I always thought it was Open Source. I started using it after learning about it a HN thread some time ago. Downloaded and started using and it worked so good I didn’t have to look back about it.

I think you are not asking the right questions. Most people don’t really know what they are really good at. Very few people end up where they are because they decided “I’m good at this particular thing, so I should pursue it” even if it looks like so. You can get better at that “thing” that you regularly do. You should find what motivates you to work more - is that lots of money, or social prestige or relaxing lifestyle? Would you rather be working in solitary or be talking to lots of people? What time of the day do you feel like working? Find answers to a numerous questions about the ideal lifestyle/career you would want. Then it will be easier for you to narrow down to a few options. When you’re motivated and productive, you will automatically start getting better at what you pursue. Before hopping from one project to another, ask yourself if really need to build it. Let go of some unfinished products, and only work on the ones that you are sure you don’t need external help. If you can buy something (a tool, template, design) with money you have, buy it instead of building it. Free yourself. Don’t occupy yourself with tasks that you can delegate (eg freelancers in other countries, etc.). Then at the end you’re left with only the work that you’re good at.

Wow, this app has presented RSS reader as a cool new app in the market. Kudos to whoever wrote the copy for the landing page. I’m convinced to give it a try to experience a “synced” experience because I don’t have a RSS feed reader on my phone. I use Thunderbird on my mac for mail and RSS feeds because everything I need to read is right there in the same app.

Yes/No? Yes. The only catch is that you mist be a Google employee, and you need a .google domain for a reasonably cause.

Practical answer: of course, not!

You answered your own question - they're able to stay in business because they respect their customers' time and sanity. People may not use McMaster because they land on the homepage and see a “Mega Deal” going on in a product they don’t need. People who visit the site are almost certainly going to buy something. Compare that to other e-commerce sites where people just visit to check specs, compare prices or just landed on the page from the search index.

I started making games right after I joined my university. Those were simple flash-like games with simple gameplay and basic UI/UX. Fast forward 10 years; I started a game studio and we’re a team of 50+ but still making really simple games for mobile. Not that we didn’t try making “huge” games but constantly creating new games and publishing them and seeing them succeed is what it takes to keep making games. As an indie developer, you’ll probably make a dozen or more games before people actually play one of your games. It’s a long battle but making many simple games is more important than trying to make a blockbuster in the first try.
