nicholasjarr··on Show HN: Coding Font – A game to find your favorite coding font
Good job! I think you should add Iosevka, and I think the editors should scroll at the same time so comparing would be easier
nicholasjarr··on My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs
My 2017 MBP with Touchbar had keyboard issues (some keys popped out; replaced the whole keyboard), battery problems (it expanded and I replaced it, but it is expanding again), and screen issues (pretty sure is a thermal issue; after some hours of use the bottom of the screen started to went black to the point of being impossible to use and I had to stop using it and wait some hours to the black bars disappear). Pretty sure this is my last MBP.

Edit: typo

nicholasjarr··on Asahi Linux for Apple M1 progress report, August 2021
I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with Touchbar and have Manjaro installed in it. It works fine but it is not perfect. No reliable bluetooth, never got touchbar working (so no esc and function keys). Its is not my main OS (I use Windows for work), but for studying and trying new things I use it. I wouldn't risk installing it without leaving a MacOS partition.
nicholasjarr··on Vue 3.2
I'm really tired with React recently so I was looking at the competition and really liked Svelte. For those that know Vue, how does Svelte stack up with it?
nicholasjarr··on I closed a lot of browser tabs
I use Firefox and I have too many tabs open. Tab Stash helped a lot though, great extension. Firefox container Tabs puts a color border on tabs and also helps with work stuff.

Wow! One more reason to stick with Firefox. Thanks!
nicholasjarr··on My small revenge on Apple
Looks more like a revenge on the users to me. If he put it on the app why not put it in the web version too? I'm not a fan of Apple's guidelines, but this won't change a thing on the guidelines.
nicholasjarr··on Guide to Software Project Estimation
Yeah. I notice this when I tried to read it the last time. I was expecting something more like Code Complete. I don't know, maybe it is the subject: code is way more interesting than estimation :)
nicholasjarr··on Guide to Software Project Estimation
Interesting. Will add it to my toolbelt. Thanks.
nicholasjarr··on Guide to Software Project Estimation
Never been good at estimation. Software Estimation from Steve McConnell is in my reading list for a long time now. From the little I have seen from it, it look good (I already read Code Complete from him and recommend it). Do you guys have any tips for estimation?
