Uh, isn't a "paid message" just a politically correct way to refer to an Ad?
Eire_Banshee··on Things I wish I knew about state management when I started writing React apps
Looking and feeling fancy is often what sells though... that is ultimately more important.
Eire_Banshee··on Hundreds of Army PSYOP Specialists to be promoted this month
Legally cannot on US citizens. We werent even allowed to use drones to help civilian search and rescue missions due to fears of being accused of spying on citizens. This was in 2015.
Eire_Banshee··on Hundreds of Army PSYOP Specialists to be promoted this month
For those that don't know, Specialist is a rank in the army.

Each of the individuals being promoted are _already psychological operations soldiers_. They are just going from the rank of specialist to sergeant or corporal. This is honestly a non-story. Soldiers are being promoted all the time, this is just a single large ceremony to account for an organizational reshuffle for the PSYOPS corps, Im assuming.

$$$. If you put the cost on taxpayers it will never be approved. Needs to be privately funded.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: Do any of you dislike using Visual Studio Code?

Eire_Banshee··on A Front End Does Not Have to Be Rich
SSR React = Next.js

SSR Vue = Nuxt.js

Django is all SSR and is solid, if a little dated.

Eire_Banshee··on A Front End Does Not Have to Be Rich
This is my biggest issues with SPAs. Its not that it is that hard, its just so much easier to keep it secure if its being done server-side.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: What problem does your business face that you’d pay to have solved?
Bad code. I would pay for better developers. But they are all happily employed (for the most part) and we cant exactly back up the brink truck...
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How would you monetize software that runs mostly offline?
Yeah, but its a poor pitch to say, "Oh, no internet? Just use your phones mobile hotspot." Existing solutions run entirely offline and I need to replicate that experience to get any initial usage of the app... at least outside of my contacts.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How would you monetize software that runs mostly offline?
Yes, definately it will do those things. But it also needs to be 100% capable of running a meet offline.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How would you monetize software that runs mostly offline?
This guy gets its. The software already available is a headache to use and the goal here is to "get out of the users way", so they can focus on running the meet instead of fighting the software.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How would you monetize software that runs mostly offline?
Yeah, this approach is still on the table. Id just like to recoup my time _somehow_... even if monetization wasnt the original intent.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How would you monetize software that runs mostly offline?
The people that would be using it arent really the ios/ipad type... its hard to explain without sounding like Im stereotyping.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How would you monetize software that runs mostly offline?
I think this is the right answer... not sure why I was so resistive to it. Maybe its the hive mind :p

Thanks.

Eire_Banshee··on U.S. personal income posts first drop in over three years
Yeah, say what you want but economically we are doing pretty good, relatively.
Eire_Banshee··on Ask HN: How are you getting through (and back from) burning out?
Oh, cool, thats all I needed to do? Awesome, so easy!

Eire_Banshee··on Zillow CEO: startups trying to disrupt real estate commissions will fail (2012)
Yeah and startups that tried to disrupt filing taxes failed...
