hiaux0··on Catala: A Programming Language for the Law
My personal motivation behind "law as a programming language" is to aid me, as a lay person [1], to understand it better.

An AST could help me quickly navigate between paragraphs, and make searching the law easier?!

---

[1]: Just someone, who wants to understand law easier, and not spent years having to study it.

"understand law easier" also in the sense of TLDR law.

And yes, I'm aware of the interpretation aspect of the law, but just give me some easy to understand starting point.

Edit: formatting, formulation

hiaux0··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Suicide?
(While I may not have had your exact same conditions, I did felt the lowest in my life, before helping out in a farm)

> I’m considering either becoming a monk

Instead of "becoming", you could try to ask the temples, if they need help. I know people who go to temples, and they say, that there is always work to do. You would also get free veggie meals :)

Another option could be volunteer work on a farm, which I did. I attended a program, where you could help out families on farms for a week. They would give you shelter and food, and you would help them on their farm.

It tremendously help me out of my hole, and gave me a new perspective on life. I can expand on that, if you like. Just say so!

hiaux0··on Show HN: Time Cop – A simple, private, open-source time tracking app
No problem!

I figured you had iteration already, and it's how you prefer things, so no biggies :).

But also thanks for your insights on the running timer ux

hiaux0··on Show HN: Time Cop – A simple, private, open-source time tracking app
This comes right on time! I was looking for some tracking apps yesterday, but wasn't satisfied with any of the choices.

I went for an Apple Shortcut instead `speedy time tracker`.

However, I will switch to yours to show support!

It would definitely be nice to add shortcut capabilities in the future :)

My Feedback:

- Starting/Stopping timers should happen on press of list item

- Editing should happen on swipe left (essentially swapping start and edit)

- Running times could be indicated in the list itself, no need for separate section "Running Timers"

- If, I want to resume, eg. Work, a dropdown appears, eventually leading to Work (total time)> Work (time1), Work (time2), which makes it hard to resume (Now I have to open the list)

One drawback here is, that condensed water could accumulate under the cover, which can lead to even more problems

hiaux0··on Show HN: Codelines – Create Coding Articles from Visual Studio Code
Makes sense!

Love this project. And thanks for trying to solve something that I also struggled with.

hiaux0··on Show HN: Codelines – Create Coding Articles from Visual Studio Code
Will this project stay closed source?

(because I couldn't find any reference to a repo on the website and on your github, assuming that's you: https://github.com/mlejva?tab=repositories)

hiaux0··on Ask HN: Anyone use a treadmill desk daily?
Def. needs time to get used to, was l-2 days for me. But hadn't have big problems typing after that.
hiaux0··on Ask HN: Anyone use a treadmill desk daily?
I was able to try it out for ~1 week.

Can highly recommend.

A cheaper alternative would be two have a 'high' desk with a separate treadmill (haven't tested this one myself, but am considering this setup)

hiaux0··on Ask HN: How do you donate online anonymously?
> it can work with VISA or PayPal

Sounds promising, thank you, I will try them on my next donation

hiaux0··on Ask HN: How do you donate online anonymously?
Thanks for laying out the pros and cons for you. On their landing page, it seemed like they only support "their" charities?

They run an extensive donation service, but looks a bit too extensive for me.

Thank you nonetheless!

hiaux0··on Ask HN: How do you donate online anonymously?
Ty! Monero was mentioned twice here.
hiaux0··on Ask HN: How do you donate online anonymously?
Interesting concept, unfortunately they only operate in the US.

Thank you for mentioning this website, I will def. have a look later.

That's a simple and easy solution. I will try it out the next time, thank you!
hiaux0··on Ask HN: How do you donate online anonymously?
That's a valid perspective, thanks for mentioning.

> buy a visa/etc giftcard

I like that suggestion the best as well.

hiaux0··on Ask HN: How do you donate online anonymously?
That means, that if the organziation hasn't setup an crypto address (is this the correct term?), I cannot donate?

hiaux0··on Ask HN: I have constantly fallen prey to office politics. Need Advice
Thank you for this detailed answer. On to the next stage:

> I invited him for a conversation

Why was this contact made? What's his connection to your team, ie. how important is his input to your team?

> I spoke with some people in the company I already felt like I could trust

Possible scenario: Chances are that these coworkers are also close to 'that' manager, and talked about it to other coworkers, which eventually resulting into 'that' manager heard that you talked about him. -> Source of hate?

I, myself, would do one of the following options

1. Make your sprint/monthly goals clear to the CEO and at the end deliver

2. Start looking for other opportunities. Since you were well liked in your previous positions, it may be easier to get references.

Hidden option: Look really hard at yourself. Are there unconscious behaviours of you that may cause dislike? Try to apologize to 'that' manager for tiny and unnoteworthy mistakes, he just sounds like a ... who needs more love.

> that made it clear, from the very beginning, that he didn't like me.

How 'directly' was it made it clear?

How is your day to day contact with him?

It is also possible that misunderstandings at the start between you two can spiral out of control (even into hate).

Edit: formatting and spelling

hiaux0··on Tell HN: My best productivity hack
I nap 20 min after lunch and sometimes I don't fall "asleep" at all but still feel energized afterwards. I always wondered how both had kinda the same effect. Now that you mention this, it definitely makes sense that I was meditating in some form.
hiaux0··on Vim Clutch – A hardware pedal for improved text editing (2012)
My bad. No the ergodox doesn't has this.
hiaux0··on Vim Clutch – A hardware pedal for improved text editing (2012)
Hey, I have an ergodox ez. I'm wondering what you mean by "pedal layer". Like pressing the pedal would move you to another layer?

The ergodox does precisly that and supports up to 32 layers.

hiaux0··on Ask HN: How to self-learn math?
+1

And definitely follow through his "pause and ponder" sections. If you want to build up your maths skills, it is crucial to learn how to think in the maths way. Like becoming a good programmer involves writing lots of code yourself, or to become a good dancer you need to practice your steps. For maths it's abstract thinking. Appreciation of maths is one thing, having the discipline to self-study a whole other.

Edit. Regarding your 2nd Edit: His videos are made for the broadest audience possible. I'd recommend picking any video whose topic interests you the most at the moment. You will see what knowledge you lack (take notes of these!) and can expand from there. Be it to watch his maths fundamental ((1)) series [0],[1] or just rewatch.

((1)): As in any other things, knowing your fundamentals is significant to the understanding of a topic. It won't help you at all if you can apply (copy paste) some machine learning techniques if you don't know about linear algebra at all.

hiaux0··on Ask HN: Do Software Engineers Need Managers?
The practices indeed need a major revamp! Good luck with that my friend
hiaux0··on Ask HN: Do Software Engineers Need Managers?
(I have no experience working in Software)

There is always the need of someone who has the bigger picture in mind. Task distribution.

And for the "large company" part. I assume that most large companies are still operating in and old-fashioned way of working.
