I hadn't considered that name specifically but I'm not married to the branding! I appreciate that feedback and your other comment validating I'm not the only person with this problem. Happy to chat more via email (in bio)

I see some chess players so I want to plug the chess coaching app [0] I'm building. I don't know many chess players and could use feedback, but I had been paying for chess.com premium and tried some others and it's always game-level feedback which is insane to me because it's really not that helpful (as evidenced by my abysmal rating.)

I'm running games through stockfish/lc0/Maia and doing some analysis of patterns across multiple games, then feeding that to an agent who can replay through positions and some other fun stuff. Really keen to find out if it's helpful for anyone else!

I have a lot more to optimize before I'm crunching down the positions but I just made a chess platform[0] with the intention of tracking your play style over many games (integrated with chess.com only for now) because the other ones I've used (including chess.com somehow) only really analyze a game at a time. It was a lot of fun to build and it's been really useful for me to identify some weaknesses and have a 'coach' to talk through them with and replay positions. I'd love feedback from any chess players! (email is in my bio)

It's worth checking the spam score if its a new domain and see if there's anything on the internet archive. I learned this the hard way and now I check before buying

It's really amazing. One of the greatest experiences of my life was diving at night in a bioluminescent cove. I turned off my torch and the glow from my dive buddy's finning afforded all the viz I needed. Diving always feels so viscerally otherworldly but never quite as much as it did in that moment.

I noticed railway being slow then got an error message saying deployments are paused with a nice upgrade to pro button. Status says it's fixed but still only for pro. I'm a paying user, but I guess not enough.

You claimed, without a source other than wikipedia, that everyone in Japan learns English in school. I see this [0] on wikipedia which says "a select number of public primary schools ... have mandatory English classes"

> What language do you think they use?

Frequently, Chinese or Japanese. For example companies in these countries employ translators. Are you suggesting they rely on primary school-level English to negotiate?

"When a Japanese and a Chinese person negotiate they are already using English"

That is a wild claim

Looks like ionic supports desktop apps now: https://ionicframework.com/docs/deployment/desktop-app

I have no idea whether it’s using electron under the hood or just a native webview (or something else?) but might be worth checking out.

Shameless plug, but the product I'm currently working on does this: https://altitudenetworks.com/offboarding.html

You're definitely not the first company to want this!

I've been a huge fan of tomorrow night eighties for the same reason. You may like it too.

Check out Everlane. They even have a ‘Uniform’ line now, I think. They also have transparent pricing, manufacturing practices, and at least some commitment to sustainability.

The version I've heard is: you mess with the bull, you get the horns

I find it’s best to cook with the high smoke point oil, then finish with butter in the warm pan

What do you think?

Sure but for that person is “use a no-nonsense lamp stack” going to result in a better outcome than them just starting with react?

I think you mean PM X

You basically never get free shipping on a pair of socks from a brand like Nike though, right? Usually you have to spend ~$50. These were ‘Darn Tough’, a more niche hiking/active brand. Amazon had the best price. I only found out they were counterfeit by doing some research when they got a hole way too soon, but just after the return window. I mended the hole and they’re serviceable for now. In the future, I’ll only buy these from either REI or direct from the manufacturer. Lesson learned. But yeah not your typical sock-buying situation, I’m way too big of a hipster for that ;)

I recently got a counterfeit pair of socks.

Do you mean other than the ads inside gmail?

I think it is to clear the text, thus not giving your full name to the app. I assume when the email is selected it’s not filled with an x but a check mark.

So if you’re not a developer and familiar with git you suggest for people to use the ridiculously complex, react-based gatsy, and still use git too?

You don’t typically get a pension unless you serve for 20 years. This guy sells literal trash to make ~$300 a week. Probably doesn’t have a fat pension, no. Also if you live in a city can you really complain about a little noise?

How does firebase compare to what parse was?

Edit: I’ve used firebase a lot and found it to be a great experience, enabling some of the most rapid product development I’ve ever done. Real-time db, login, cloud functions, and integration with google cloud are all great. Just wondering if there’s something cool or different about parse/buddy worth looking into. Also curious if it was different than firebase and wonder if it died because it wasn’t.

You wouldn’t be surprised to learn that an iPad cost less than a cheaply made screen with lower resolution, smaller size, without things like wifi, gps, battery, and ssd storage?
