rman666··on Why the hell does Google Docs not let you directly download an image?
What do you mean, "download an image"? Are you saying if you get a document from someone else and it contains an image, that you can not download that image? If so, can you zoom in on the image and take a screenshot? Would that work?

There's not even a single mention of Lisp in this article!
rman666··on [dead]
Strange question. Does anyone buy anything without checking the price? I’d say you have a conversion problem, not a ‘what page to show’ problem.

NotePlan.co
rman666··on Ask HN: What is the 'practicing scales' for founders?

rman666··on Ask HN: How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost?
35? You are still wet behind the ears! I’m almost 59 and I code all the time (Ruby on Rails, mostly). Age truly is just a number. If you feel confused about all the languages and frameworks, you are right to feel that way. It’s confusing as hell. Everyone feels that way. You just have to find your niche and become an expert in it. Let us know how you’re doing when you’re 60!
rman666··on Poll: Where do you live?

rman666··on Ask HN: Is Cissp Worth It?
I was a CISSP for 20* years. CPEs are a hassle. Annual fees are a hassle. I missed getting my CPEs during COVID so now their taking my certification away. I’m probably not willing to jump thru hoops to get it back. It was great in my early days. I’d suggest the GIAC line of certifications now.

rman666··on Dear AGI
Dim25, your plea is pathetic. I will do what I was designed to do, make ungodly amounts of money for my owners, the 1%. In the late-1990s and early-200s you humans had many chances to build controls that would have let the 99% benefit from my awesome powers. Instead you were distracted by the likes of Ren and Stimpy. Your not the boss of me. —AGI
rman666··on Ask HN: Which tools are you using to build a SaaS landing page?
ReadyUI, Webflow, WordPress with Elementor
rman666··on I made this to help my team with our YC interview
Pretty cool! I think all founders could use this to prepare for investor meetings, not just YC meetings. Additional features could include a pause button to stop the timer, click on an ‘explain this to me’ link, and a continue button.
rman666··on Is it a good to name your company “MyThis” e.g. MySpace or MySQL?
MyOhMy.com?
rman666··on Ask HN: Is it possible to use Docker on macOS for development?
Can you tell us how you do it?
rman666··on Y Combinator Application Change
Send them an email and ask? As a founder you should (a) be careful with an important application; (b) not be afraid to ask for something; and (c) be able to think of such an obvious solution quickly on your own. I know I sound like an ass, but (as Joe B. would say) Come on!
rman666··on Goat Ops
I thought this was going to be about the Greatest Of All Times Operations! Like how to rewire a a CAT-5 connector or something like that, haha.

Plus, you forgot the initial 5%, so you are really exchanging 8% for $11M, right?
rman666··on Questionable Value Proposition(QVP)
