nikajon_es··on An epic treatise on error models for systems programming languages
I don't understand how they don't compose, from your example:

    (X = A + B, Y = X + C, Y = A + B + C is false)
I understand that types aren't math values, but isn't the point of using a `+` to describe the communicative value of the type so that `(A + B) + C = A + B + C`?

nikajon_es··on Coping strategies for the serial project hoarder
I'm trying to manage my projects mostly like the steps the OP takes. The only thing that I would add, which has helped me is, is having build automation in place as well (CI/CD or just scripts like a Makefile).

This could fall under tests, but I've found that having concrete steps written down on how to build the thing helps. As there's many times something that's easy to forget that has to happen for things build correctly if I've stepped away from the project for a while.

nikajon_es··on Show HN: Just a simplified easy way to call URLs automatically without crontab
Is that pricing only for the first year?
nikajon_es··on Show HN: MockMechanics is now open source
This looks really cool! I can't wait to start playing around with it! I love your video.
nikajon_es··on Show HN: Mock – setup and test APIs easily
What is the use case for sending data then doing an assertion on the data that was stored? Or am I not understanding how assertions work.
nikajon_es··on Ask HN: Best API gateways with user access and monetization?
I built xa4b.com as a user access and payment API gateway. Let me know if that interests you.
nikajon_es··on Lime shuts in 12 markets, lays off around 100
I was there for this, and starting at the 09:30 mark it was exactly what I was thinking about when I read the headline.
nikajon_es··on Fedora, UUIDs, and user tracking
Could you regain this info by adding a static prefix to the rolled id? So you know it was rolled, but not from which previous id. Where as new id's would have no prefix, so you can count new users as new.
nikajon_es··on Show HN: What CSS does your site actually need at launch?
Do you think it would be interesting to analyze CSS across a few pages? I've created base CSS files that can cover a few pages, knowing that some elements won't be on all pages, but that the CSS document is cached so it makes sense to send everything down at once.

Or is this more for a launch page (or one-site website)?

nikajon_es··on Show HN: Esgy – Easily remind yourself of links you'd like to see again
Nice. That's a cool feature, this is what I was asking about.
nikajon_es··on Show HN: Esgy – Easily remind yourself of links you'd like to see again
Is there a way to adjust the time between sending links? Also it's not clear if the links will disappear from my account after they are sent to my email, will they?

Also it looks like the Privacy Policy is included with the Terms of Service (https://es.gy/terms-of-service). These are two separate things, which I think should be split out; as some people may be looking for a Privacy Policy before using your service may not find it as they expect to.

nikajon_es··on Show HN: WriteMapper 2
This looks awesome, I'll use it for the next writeup that I need to make. I was using a basic mind-mapping app, but this looks like it will fit much better in my work flow, by adding the Markdown content under the Mind Mapping nodes.

One thing that seems to be missing though is a spelling checker for MacOS, are there any plans to add one?

nikajon_es··on Show HN: Crypton.sh – Secure SMS Messages in the Cloud
Is the idea to use this just for 2FA using SMS? Or would it as your daily messaging number? (If your supposed to use it daily, is there an Android or iPhone app?)
nikajon_es··on Show HN: Make money interviewing candidates
Questions:

1. How do. you vet the vetters (or make sure they are any good)? 2. How do you assure that they actually vet? (I see how one could just always reject/accept candidates without really thinking about it and get $80 for effort of just clicking yes/no.)

nikajon_es··on Ask HN: Will you buy a smartphone without camera, GPS and sensors?
without-camera: maybe without-GPS: yes without-sensors: (without knowing exactly what "sensors" are) I think yes. But I may be using a "sensor" that I don't know about

The camera is nice for quick snapshots of moments, and when someone else's camera has died, it's nice to be able to take over. But all-in-all I don't use the camera that much. GPS: having turn-by-turn directions is nice, but I can read a map and its nice to understand where you're going before just relying on something telling you to "turn left now"...

There are a ton of sensors in phones now-a-days, so I'm not sure which ones are in use to provide some features that I may really like. Therefore, I'd have to see on this one. My initial reaction is that I don't really use many of them, but this may be a false assumption.

nikajon_es··on Ask HN: Is anyone using BTC or cryptocurrencies for transactions
I was thinking about the charity and donation sector as well for my use-case. So it's good to see that other people are working on it, are there any links that you can send about the use that you've seen?
nikajon_es··on Ask HN: Is anyone using BTC or cryptocurrencies for transactions
Interesting... it seems that the smaller alt coins may be used for transactions, but theres a ton of them, and trying to support transactions in all of them may be difficult. Thanks for your thoughts.
nikajon_es··on Ask HN: How to take back my attention and discipline?
This has been my experience. Starting a good sleep and meal schedule has helped me out, when I've gotten stuck in this state. Also doing some projects that are small quick wins have helped motivate me to tackle some of the larger ones that I'd started procrastinating on.
nikajon_es··on Ask HN: Please share your experience to go from Show HN to signing up customers?

nikajon_es··on Pseudo-public space in London
I've noticed something quite similar in San Francisco - http://sf-planning.org/privately-owned-public-open-space-and... (most in SF seem to be clearly marked as private spaces for public use though)
