livingliston Tell HN: Salesforce is mandating RTO 3 days/wk for all employee

I myself am not a Salesforce employee but was just curious enough to look up the distance between my home address (Sunnyvale) and the Salesforce tower in downtown SF - just a lil bit out of the requirements (43 miles), it’s about an hr and half driving in rush hours…

livingliston Twilio is laying off 17% of workforce

Work, mate!

livingliston Flurly has been shut down by Stripe

If user don’t want to access the iOS App Store they can build the app themselves, I don’t really see what’s your counter argument here. The point I’m making is do not rely on any third party service completely

livingliston Flurly has been shut down by Stripe

Yes

livingliston Flurly has been shut down by Stripe

No my point is not to rely on a single third party completely

livingliston Flurly has been shut down by Stripe

Let this be another lesson of relying on third party software completely.

livingliston Flutter desktop isn’t there yet

Hi there, I have been a happy flutter user for quite some time now, keep up them good work!

livingliston I tried a $7,600 desk that lets you get horizontal at work

It would be even better if I don’t need to raise my hands up to type things or use the mouse. I would imagine having your hands up like that to type things is gonna make your arms sour really quick.

livingliston C# Is Dying and Microsoft Is Killing It

I used to love C# and it was my most favorite language for some time too…regarding feature creeps, I’m afraid this is expected for every programming language out there that is developed from within a company. Bloated language and feature creeps are clearly a result from ppl chasing after KPIs and seeking for reasons for promotions. I suspect Dart is on a similar path now.

livingliston Show HN: GPT Just Recovered $500 in a Legal Case

This is off topic but do you mind sharing more details about the robbery? What was it like?

livingliston Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell

A hacker news client I made: https://github.com/Livinglist/Hacki

Also a kanji learning app if anybody is interested: https://github.com/Livinglist/Manji

livingliston Ask HN: What Happened to iOS Widgets?

I think the reason for low amount of user is bc of the discoverability is so bad, you have to edit home screen to see if an app comes with a widget..

livingliston Researchers identify protein that helps skin cancer spread

I started to see tiny moles on my arms shoulders and back after going to beaches without sunscreen…. you are terrifying me

livingliston Everyone’s elite, but not for long. Airlines make travel perks harder to earn

Could this be a side effect of having so many bloated salaries/packages during the past three years?

livingliston Windows 11 update added 'Search' label to taskbar search button – how to remove?

I grew up using windows until I got myself a MacBook for college. I’m now a heavy Mac user, I enjoy using the Magic Trackpad (so much so that I barely have touched a mouse in the last five years), copying something on my phone and pasting it on my Mac with barely any delay, sharing stuff using Airdrop, not having to worry about virus most of the time, and the consistency of user experience.

livingliston Apple asks suppliers to shift AirPods, Beats production to India

I gotta say as a native Chinese myself, I’m super supportive of business moving production away from China. CCP and brainwashed Chinese folks need to realize they can’t do whatever da faq they want just because they have cheap labor as leverage!

livingliston Sleek Solar Car Goes 600 Miles on a Charge and Is Gearing Up for Production

I’m more curious about how long the paint will last since you need to leave the car under the sun as long as possible.

livingliston Mikhail Gorbachev has died

How many lives were ruined by Russia?

livingliston The Big [Censored] Theory

I’m very glad I was able to move out of this country… China’s censorship got much much worse after Xi Jinping stepped into power. I remember around 2010 when I was in middle school, I was still able to watch YouTube and browse Wikipedia, and ppl were able make criticism on government and incidents without worrying too much about their own safety. Right now China is filled with misled and brainwashed ppl that believe in everything said and done by the government.…

livingliston The OK? Programming Language

This should be a serious programming language.

livingliston Hacker News Official API

As a dev who has built a Hacker News client app, I would say at least 12 months.

livingliston Ask HN: How Do You Navigate Code?

I would just remember some keywords in either code or the file name and do global search, I barely use splits though bc I think it’s kinda distracting.

livingliston .NET 6 is now in Ubuntu 22.04

I started writing mobile apps for windows phone when I was in high school (2013-2016), then it got killed years later… then when I got into college, they had this things called UWP (Universal Windows Platform) I wrote a simple kanji dictionary for it, then 2 years later, it got killed. After then I started sticking to Flutter and native iOS, got tired of being played like that lol

livingliston How to learn hard things in tech

Can’t agree more! It was until I started my first full time job when I realized how ugly and disorganized my code was… I stopped maintaining one app of mine which I really like and still take pride in only because the codebase was a disaster…

livingliston The unlikely odds of making it big on TikTok

Not very colorblind friendly though.

livingliston Ask HN: What's one of your favorite personal programs, and why?

I have been working on a Hacker News client app that can notify you when there’s a new reply to your post. Been using it daily rn.
