I use Hacker News Daily [0] to get daily top stories and Ask Hacker News Weekly [1] to get weekly top questions from Hacker News. I found this very useful because you can subscribe to the mailing list or add the RSS feed. So, you don't need to visit HN frequently (others have already told about this).

Another site I rare to visit is n-gate.com [2]. It gives you brief summary of the story. This site also has RSS that you can subscribe.

I use Jekyll as a static website generator. It hosted on GitLab Pages [0] with Let's Encrypt certificate for SSL.

In my current team, we use 360 feedback to review each other. This review happens two times a month. The feedback contains what principles and improvements. This system works well for our team because we have 1-on-1 with our coach. The coach will review from the feedback. Beside that, this system feedback doesn't work well at first pilot because my team doesn't like write a feedback manually. After first pilot, the feedback system moves from written manually to online document.

I would recommend Brilliant [0], it contains courses and exercises on math, science, and computer science. This site also offers weekly challenging problems.

I have never created an apps or worked with React Native before. But, I would share the experience from my colleague who develops Android apps in our startup.

We are a startup that helps people in the middle-low income using technology. The people who use our technology usually have Android mobile phone with minimum specifications (Jelly Beans, low memory and spaces). At first launch, we used Android Native to build our application. The application meets our costumer needs since we consider to build an apps that consumes low memory and spaces. Then our costumer are growing and the features are complex, we use React Native to existing native app. Our application now consumes memory and spaces two times than Native one. Beside that, sometimes when you use a library, Native is more stable than React Native.

Backend: Python, Go, Java

Mobile development: Android and React Native

Database: MySQL and PostgreSQL

Redis and also RabbitMQ.

I have no specific technique to manage all of good contents on HN. If I find a post or thread that has a good content, I usually upvote or favorite it. But, as you said before, it will grow bigger and bigger as a list on your "upvoted submission" section profile.

I think using Pocket or other bookmarking tool is one of the method because you can give a tag or keyword to your bookmarked content (searchable).

Well, at the end, I agree with someone who said you don't need know everything. Our brains have a limit. Choose the topic that suits with you.

I also recommend this thread [0]. This thread has same question, kind of "Python 101". One of the answer suggested for beginner, intermediate, and advance levels.

When I was taking algorithm courses in my university, my lecturer used SPOJ [0] and Uva online judge [1] as part of coding exercises. For example, today, I learn about greedy algorithm, my lecturer find a problem on those website about greedy algorithm problems. Someone already mentioned CodeForces. It likes SPOJ and Uva. But, CodeForces usually has a coding competition regularly.

The websites above will affect you on how to solve a problem quickly because it's timed. It helps for job interview. If you want to learn about software engineering, e.g. architecture or what's going on in real industry, it's different in my opinion. You should know well the problem, use cases and of course, the contexts. To be honest, I agree with @cag_li. Involve in open source projects or build a real project!

The company I work for uses IKEA's RENBERGET and FLINTAN. In my desk, I use IKEA's RENBERGET [0]. It's a swivel chair and I prefer it because it's comfortable and nice.

The company I work for uses standard unittest [0] library from Python. This library helps you to test defined functions in your Python program. For each defined function, you can set different cases to test (positive and negative cases). We also use coverage [1] to see code coverage and report. Report is usually reported to HTML because we can check the missing part of code (the flow of our logic program).

Since we are on Hacker News, I would recommend to read what top mentioned by Hacker News users (by comment) [0]. This recommendation contains not only about IT but also other topics.

I use Jekyll [1] for static website and GitLab Pages [2] to host it. GitLab Pages supports not only Jekyll but also other static site engines. You can also use custom domain and SSL for your site.

I think my Yahoo! mail. It's created at 2002 or so.

I second what @mtmail said. You can use Algolia [1] to access older questions/answers. But, if you want to make it more accessible I would recommend to upvote or favorite the question/answer. This way will save your up-voted or favorite questions/answers into your HN account. You can use bookmarking tools for tagging questions/answers. It will help you to organize.

As mentioned on FAQ [2], HN limits the number of showed threads because its ranking algorithm. It depends on thread points and submitted time.

I remember, there is a website which provided weekly top Ask HN threads [3]. This website is useful if you miss threads on previous week.

Another thread with same topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14917765

Same. I always use https://m.facebook.com although I access it via desktop browser. It's fast.

I remember there is Facebook Lite for desktop version. I think it's not available right now.

When I access that playlist, it shows the video is not available.

You're right. Updating SSL is the friction point in my current workflow. I just searched to renew certificate automatically and there are some tools you can use along with GitLab Pages. By the way, this is also one of my request features to GitLab Pages to make certificate renewal easily. I hope they hear this.

I use static website for my blog. Tools I use:

* Jekyll for static site generator

* GitLab Pages for storing changes as well as deploying site and costuming domain/SSL

* Vim editor for making changes

Steps:

1. Clone existed Jekyll's files from GitLab Pages's repository into local.

2. Making changes.

3. Push the changes into remote repository

4. Custom domain and SSL.

Of course, I don't need to clone repository and custom domain again if my site has already lived. I just need to update SSL when my certificate expires. You can check this page [1] for further details.

Thank you.

Thank you for advice.

Thanks

I don't swimming. I just walk to the office or store. That's my daily exercise. Anyway, thank you for recommending swimming to me. I want to give it a try.

Doing a side project (open source) is what keeps me up at night. I don't know why, I just push hard myself at least there is one commit a day. Beside that, I think random things a lot. I always waste my night to think about it rather than plan or take an action.

I worry about my health. My sleep time is decrease. I have to wake up in the morning and then go to office. When my sleep time is not enough, I wouldn't focus. I lose my valuable time for starting my day, like exercise and meditation. I heard that would be a problem if you don't have enough sleep.
