rman666··on Ask HN: How do you handle clients who ghost after receiving deliverables?
You thank them for the lesson of always collecting at least half up front.
rman666··on Taskybear: AI Agent to manage your daily plans
Tried and deleted within 10 mins. The user interface does not rise to the level of complexities of modern life. The cutesy bear character makes it seem like a child’s toy. This needs to have a desktop component, at least for setup. It should ingest my calendars for the past year as a way of learning how I schedule my day, optimize for that, and slowly suggest changes to improve my day. Do not call blocks of time “tasks.” I have dozens of tasks to complete each day, not 5-6. Consider my input and try again. People need this type of app: just not Taskybear in its current form.

Noob here. Can explain what you mean by CLI access? Are you talking about using CURL to interact with the Reddit API?
rman666··on Ask HN: What is the best way to generate a ton of money as a dev?
Find someone dumb enough to pay you 1 cent on the first day of a programming project, 2 cents on the second, day, 4 cents on the third, and so on, doubling the amount every day. Then drag the project out by blaming it on scope creep like we always do

rman666··on Ask HN: What do devs use for quickly setting up a feedback form?

rman666··on [dead]
81 million!
rman666··on Ask HN: Would a "greybeards meetup" in talk, panel, mixer fmt be interesting?
Maybe create a gForm so we can express our interest? I’m interested and would create the form, but I figure others will want to reply to the OP. Also I’m clean shaven, so I probably don’t have the street cred, lol (but I’m 61 and still code!).

rman666··on [dead]
You have to type in all the digits of Pi in the field at the top. But there are an infinite number of digits and there isn’t a field at the top
rman666··on dedup: dedup finds and clones duplicate files in APFS
Why would you want to clone a duplicate file? Wouldn’t you want to remove duplicates?
