cybarDOTlive··on Show HN: Email encoder – protect your public emails from bots and crawlers
would someone really run that randomly? couldnt it run a rm command?
cybarDOTlive··on Fact check: Employees asked to wear masks during Zoom meeting is satirical
I would like a source for this too, having not worn a mask once in the entire 2 years of what I'll call a "hoax". The way the media talked about it, I should've been dead a year ago. I've been on public transportation, malls, grocery stores.

I'm probably a lot healthier than you since I'm not breathing in moist bacteria culture growing over your mouth and whatever material the mask is made out of all day.

cybarDOTlive··on Ask HN: Is digital marketing and software development too competitive?
I think there's plenty of room for some specialized developers. So you have to drill down and focus on one sector, and learn everything about that sector. Find the best products and brands in that sector, why are they so successful? Apply those techniques to their competitors, etc.

The most successful web developer I know only makes websites for GYMS, he knows how to craft the ultimate gym landing page. He knows what gym owners need, what they respect. And he knows what they're naive about, and what struggles they have to overcome. He knows how to sell and market to experienced fitness experts, and fresh soft newbies alike.

There are millions of gyms, and he is an expert and his knowledge could help every single one of them. And guess who comes looking for him specifically, when they want to start a new gym business? The pro "gym websites" guy, that's who, who has 20 Gyms in his portfolio and 20 blog posts about how to be the best gym owner possible.

cybarDOTlive··on Covid “Bullshit Jobs” Are Driving Everyone Crazy
china already back to normal, crowded beaches all maskless during the summer. it's economic and psychological warfare that's about it. and we lost.
cybarDOTlive··on Ask HN: Making things look not-terrible – especially in HTML/CSS
I think the best thing you can do is to keep it simple. Always ask yourself are you making it flashy for yourself, either because you're procrastinating or because you personally like the particular flash. And then ask yourself, does my audience care? Plenty of examples of "poorly" designed websites that dominated their market share. The users don't generally care.

To answer your question, I like to add a lot of placeholder text and images to all the columns and divs I plan on incorporating into the layout. When you are designing from scratch it's easy to say your color scheme or border choice looks bad, because it all looks too empty or scarce.

Start with the content first and use design to make it the content as accessible and efficient(UI) as possible, that's the most important thing IMO.
