Was first thinking (hoping) this was a decision tree what to read for all research papers of the last 30 years. Would be a gigantic tree but immensely cool to traverse such a tree based on decisions (questions) in the root and child nodes until you reach a collection of leaf nodes with papers to read. Parked that idea for later :).

This is also nice but not for me personally as the topic is not in my direct interest for now.

Thanks!

Still not correct. They are still impossible to read on mobile. They stretch vertically as in the image above.

* IPhone 11 pro max

Interesting tool though, bookmarked for when I'm on a laptop.

Thanks. It states it is recommended you do not add personal, proprietary or other sensitive information in your accomplishments. Isn't that a bit strange? Your accomplishments you list, with the goal of building for your yearly assessment, are all about that.

I see only that I can add these notes. Not a lot more. I suppose the USP is your notifications? If I cannot store any real notes I could as well in my agenda make a recurring meeting every month that would give me a notification to add a note to onenote, Evernote, orgmode or any other note taking tool. 9.99 a month seems steep.

Am I missing something?

Not sure if that also,supported re-trading/coloring of the pixel. That could be a nice touch or very against the idea of the others which meant to be "forever". Not needing a special browser is nice.

I might miss it but it seems this page assigns me a single pixel, or one pixel at a time where I can control x,y? The power of the others lies in being able to buy multiple pixels in a controlled fashion and having an easy way to add your logo (jpeg/png/...).

From the landing page it is unclear what exactly is offered here. I do not feel like creating an account to see this in action. Is there a demo somewhere?

Of course, yet it starts with awareness. Would love if the extensions would also show the number of child's, number of authors, if it has an active community, the license, and more info that you use to make the decision. Then again, we would also need the licenses of the children, their activity etc. It's a zoo out there these days. Packages that are licensed MIT have children that are GPL licensed. One package dragging in 200 more, leading to famous left-shift debacles and maintenance hell. Meanwhile support periods are being lowered to 1-3 years, even on big projects.

Another issue we run into is different libraries using different packages which depend on the same package down the line but a different version which do not work together.

So yes, I wholeheartedly agree that one must think before taking in a dependency. Especially if you just took it because a nice stackoverflow.com answer said so and you are going to use 1% of the package.

Our build already immediately flags SOUP that is brought in but not assessed yet. We had it failing for a while but that was too much of a barrier for engineers. CI/CD scans for vulnerabilities using tools like whitesource or blackduck. Tools like fortify and sonarqube run amongst many more.

All leading to better code, definitely. Yet, at a cost. Haven't found the best set of 'rules' yet what to allow and what a practical choice is today. Keeping velocity at the right quality.

I'm mixed between nodding my head in this and finding arguments against it. For myself, I would absolutely see your points and agree to them but when I think about the engineers inside the company at scale I'm seeing it's worth. A large part of our company comes from hardware or more traditional console languages like c/c++/c#. Now switching to .net core, typescript and the whole open-source ecosystem is something they just are becoming familiar with. This extension would certainly make them aware of the impact of their choices. Raising awareness about the implications of taking in that third party dependency the moment they do it.

Alternatively a dashboard around covid-19 can be found at https://covidly.com. Including graphs.

Thanks for explaining. So Exploding topics as a Service and with additional features to make it a business. Can be interesting depending on how accurate your trend spotting are and how well the prediction beta feature works. Keeping track of new technology trends and competitors offerings is a healthy amount of work in any business. If a service could already take out the initial search part that could be value.

So this is a bit like https://explodingtopics.com but with a different angle to find the categories and trends? I see no "world/global" option, is that on purpose?

I do like how the data is presented in the details page. In exploding topics you have to leave the site to see the same on gtrends.

It looks a lot like the command palette of sublime, vs code, etc (cmd+shift+p). Combined with the navigate functionality of those editors (cmd+p). Where actions like back map to the command pallet and navigation like .articles maps to the file navigation.

I looked at your project with my work hat on, I replied to this thread with a three paragraph reply with my HN community hat on.

I clicked through once more for you to find your github in slide 4. My comment stays the same, there is nothing in there that helps me select you over people that present their content in an easier to consume format.

On the content. In some countries pictures must be able to blacked out by law (I don't agree, yet it is truth). Your experience bullets do not say what you actually did. Would add where your worked and some 1-2 lines description per bullet on what you made/did there. If you were freelancing add your clients. It helps us understand what size of companies/codebases you worked. What complexity etc. Your word cloud is indeed hard to decipher. Slide 4 I saw github, which is good.

The title says online resume. I assume the audience is recruitment. Recruiters take seconds to scan if they want to spend minutes. In addition most recruiters will not forward this to people like me to see if they like to invite. If that means we are not your audience your resume works. Be aware you are limiting your own options as you now no longer have the choice to say no yourself (we decided that for you).

I stay with my earlier comment. Best to reverse the whole thing. Send your "actual" resume as you called it and add your github repo there. We will find this here.

I stopped reading after the second animation. It is too annoying as a resume for recruitment.

As indication of skill it isn't much better either for me. I would expect any software dev to gobble this together given the number of available html presentation tools. If you want to show what you can do I'd rather see a bunch of github projects really. With readme properly documenting what it does and if possible a live example running somewhere.

This little thing could be in there if you really like. I would expect the Readme to state why you made it and what problem it solved or what you learned from it.

Also seems broken on Chrome 79 on Windows 10.

Sure, got that. Yet, all businesses pivot at the start to find the right market ;).

Regarding instagram crowd, you could consider adding tiers without showing the actual net worth in numbers. E-peen of having a golden instagram profile picture or whatever (with link to actual profile to proof you didn't photos op it). Might be interesting to more people who want their actual value to stay hidden.

I do not think the author had this idea in mind. They got a free business advice ;).

Not sure if you meant this sarcastically, I guess you do. However, if such a tool would exist, taking away the hassle of due diligence or at least beforehand (before starting due diligence) prove you are a credible investor it could save a ton of work. If you had some way of knowing that your due diligence work and accompanying costs would not go to waste because of the opposing party not checking out, that would be value. Note it doesn't need to give an accurate, to the dollar net worth as long as it flags you as credible investor.

Not saying anything about the complexity of building such a tool.

Not the author or related in any form. Maybe if this thing would be accepted as the verified proof it could back your claim when investing. Speed up the process a bit as you have immediate proof you have some form of worth.

Problem is of course a single net worth number says nothing about liquidity or any of the zillion other aspects that you would be required to prove in such a scenario. Unless the app business model diverts and becomes a tool investors can use for exactly that issue. I.e. It isn't a net worth tool anymore but a full investor guarantee/check thing. Not sure how that would work but for sure many investments end up in nightmares because it turns out the investor didn't have the actual money they claimed to have to invest.

I'm using https://www.worldtimebuddy.com for this. I like how it's ui is much more condensed versus yours. Also it supports saving time ones through urls like so:

https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?pl=1&lid=2756253,1277333,294...

Only thing is it has a limited set of free features.

You mean your company actually has a kb that is filled and up to date, worth migrating? I want to work at your company!

I guess no matter how great the product, the issue is with people. Hardly anybody will keep up writing static content and maintain it so it stays relevant. The best knowledge base is probably a great Q&A system with an active community.

If your current knowledge management system is too empty to your likings don't bother buying a new knowledge management system. It won't help. Instead, give your employees and customers a central place to ask questions and grow a culture that answers them as a first priority. Make that searchable and throw away your knowledge management system...

Vrolijk kerstfeest! :)

Happy holidays everybody. Take some time to relax and recharge your batteries. Spend time with loved ones and let them know how much you appreciate them. Then, in the next year be ready to go full steam ahead and complete that awesome project or launch that great company of yours. Cheers! Catch you on the flip side!

It might be a nice theme but no theme is nice enough to allow such amount of lengthy animations. I'm reading faster than they appear and they keep me from scanning your site.

Keep up the good work of creating and sharing but remove your animations from future themes.

Thanks!

Another take on this:

1. Setup

1.1 Define / finalize plan and deployment timeline

1.2 Identify community leaders

2. Training

2.1. Define community best practices

2.2. Train community leaders

3. Kickstart community

3.1. Collect seed content with group of community leaders (e.g. repeating topics, questions, anything that resonates and is searched or discussed often)

3.2. Seed community platform with output of 3.1.

3.3. Open site to kickstart users; a cross-section of your target audience but in smaller amounts.

3.4. Let kickstart users expand community, both in content as well as being relaxed with them onboarding new members

3.5. Promote coming community to entire target audience

4. Full launch

4.1. Open site to entire target audience

4.2. continue promotion

5. Grow community

5.1. Monitor community usage, evaluate, expand

5.2. ongoing promotion

In the Netherlands non-assisted electric bikes are not allowed, which is why you don't see them (except the occasional violation). In other countries you have bikes with throttle, essentially an electric scooter.

Nowadays a whole new trend is arising in the Netherlands. By introduction of the electric bike the cut-off for taking a bike vs. car is much less steep. Regular electric bikes (max 25km/h) make people bike to work for ranges 5-10 km single-trip now, speed pedelecs (45km/h bikes) are extending it as far as 35km single trip. Bikes are becoming more popular not only because people like to live healthy but also because our roads are clogging up (again). Combined with high-speed biking lanes being added to our infrastructure this drives adoption.

I expect these graphs to change in the coming 5 years.

P.s. Our today's issue is having speed pedelecs which are not allowed on our biking lanes in cities/suburbs/villages (big speed difference) but are just about too slow for the regular 50km/h roads :).

P.p.s. Electric bikes are around 2000€ on average. Speed pedelecs start at 3500€ but quickly go to 5000€, and 8000€+ for premium brands is not uncommon. We still love our bikes ;).

You have the four knobs to turn. Resources ($, FTE), scope, deadline, quality. The dilemma typically is that the one calling the shots wants to fix three of them and does not accept the fourth knob has to be turned. Another is that close to a deadline the resources knob doesn't matter anymore unless the deadline knob is turned. And when the deadline knob is turned it makes the scope knob feeling very attractive suddenly to the same kind of people.

In such situations having people skills helps. You can say no in many ways but you have to try and understand their problems as well. That big conference, competitors having announced something recently, you name it.

HN notify mentioned in another comment has an unsubscribe in the email.

Using this as well. While I like Spolsky in general (see other comment) I'd argue he is off here. It makes me come back to threads instead of forgetting my comments.
