No idea what's supposed to be going on there.

Show your projects to a few people. See what happens, before you post it widely. Make sure it makes sense.

And don't give them hints. People won't have hints when following a link from hacker news.

A related thought: if you think you don't need people, then see what happens when you get sick.

Not for me, either.

By everyone assuming that other people were like them.

Aphantasia, inner monologues, episodic memory - people have started discussing their internal thought and capabilities and we are discovering we are more different than we thought.

I just bought word after a year of trying use Libreoffice. Libre is usable, but has many minor bugs. I'd probably use google docs before Libreoffice.

Nah, just thoughtless is enough.

"Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity"

I think this would defeat the purpose of doing things just because you want to!

Writing good tests hard. Really hard. Unfortunately most people think "Bill knows about XYZ, he can write the test."

The results are frequently not good.

I was expecting a few fluffy paragraphs on someone's cool business card, not an education. That went deep.

Fantastic!

I'm convinced that Netflix uses "number of hours watched" as a success metric. Autoplay raises that.

I'd pay twice as much to watch half as much quality programming, but that would tank what they think is a positive metric.

The problem with testing, is the people who optimize for testing guaranteed do not give a shit about the actual work.

Getting a benefit from building a network is not lottery odds. It's certainly benefitted my career multiple times.

Nice! This works slightly better than apple's version, which makes it very hard to select the main image, once it detects text in the image. Naphtha seems to handle this correctly!

If you just launched, why does the Apple store say "age 9+ years"?

I definitely see the benefit of a separate code search engine and would use it. Google has, as you have notice, gotten way less useful. A big part of that is trying to target the wider market to the exclusion of less popular searches, like developers'. A dedicated engine would help with that.

I'm more than willing to open another tab to not have a search result page full of YouTube videos.

I think you'd get very different people at those two. Perhaps stereotyping, but do you want more career driven or socially driven?

I've met some really interesting people at maker spaces. Never dated anyone there.

I always thought habitat for humanity would be cool/useful/fun/have interesting people, but they don't do it around here.

I haven't been, but you might try https://austinswingsyndicate.org/

I always make better friends when I'd go places regularly. When I was younger, I'd hop around to a new place frequently. I didn't build lasting friendships this way. Find something you'd like to do for a while.

Volunteering to help out at events can lead to meeting more people.

Why would you link to a page that explains nothing about the project?

This link goes to http://builds.openlogicproject.org/ which explains nothing.

Why not link to http://openlogicproject.org/

Ok, don't take this wrong. I'm rooting for you. But there's the red flag.

He said something that's a common expression, "taken", which is used for both men and women. It was clearly intended to be a compliment.

You chose an unlikely interpretation that clearly didn't match intent or common usage and decided to get offended about it.

After all your self description, I was wondering "how is she single?"

Right there, now I understand. I'd be out the door. Someone that is looking HARD for ways to be offended is not relationship material.

Think about your need to assign your meanings to other people's words. Maybe talk to a professional. This one thing can sink you.

Good luck!

Socializing beats dating apps!

1. Do things you like 2. Where would the guy you want to date go to socialize?

I haven't been to Austin, so this is a generic recommendation from google. But the idea is sound.

I do.

It's good to have a few numbers memorized. What happens if your phone dies, and you need to call someone? If you don't know any phone numbers, you have an problem.

I dial a few of my contacts by number, just to set them in memory.

What I find mildly interesting is that different people get a different mix of scams. I only get "extended warrantee" scams. I've never seen these "wrong number" texts.

Other people get a completely different mix. I wonder how these get determined.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my bash history is missing many of my commands. I assumed it was due to poor handling of multiple open terminal windows and tabs.

Is there something you are doing so the different sessions don't clobber each other?

Edit: that should have said kanopy, not kaboom.

Worse would be links that are private to the people who posses the url. Like a private video on YouTube or a private document in google docs. The security depends on the URL being secret. This would silently publish secret information.

Yeah, kaboom is a complete non-starter. The first thing they do is ask you for you login credentials for the library.

"Then, we'll ask you for your public library card number and PIN/password"

That's a hard no.

Don't give your password to anyone

Technology to detect fakes necessarily lags a bit from technology to create fakes.

In general, you need to have examples of a type of fake to detect it.

Once you remix it, it's no longer reliable. So, you don't want it signed if it's modified.

Yes. It was later expanded to a novel. And then a movie.

Reddit tip of my tongue is also good for IDing old stories.
