tridenrake··on Telegram: Voice Chats 2.0:Channels, Millions of Listeners, Recorded Chats
I am still waiting for the day when I can initiate a secret chat from my desktop client.

Discord is unusable at times too. But compared to other Electron shits, Discord is above average when it comes to performance. But in the end, when compared to Native apps, performance wise, Discord is still shit. It's nowhere near Telegram.
tridenrake··on Ask HN: What's your opinion on notifications in general?
> If a software service feels they need notifications in order for it to work then they haven’t truly automated the problem they are solving.

Can't be articulated any better! Thanks. This is the real deal!

tridenrake··on Ask HN: What's your opinion on notifications in general?
This is a really helpful insight. Thank you.
tridenrake··on Ask HN: What's your opinion on notifications in general?
Push. That's my plight actually. There are already too many apps trying to find a place in the push notification channels. And given my stance on notifications, I am refraining myself from doing that for now. Planning on surveying my friends and family on this. They might be the right sample space.
tridenrake··on Ask HN: What's your opinion on notifications in general?
I am someone like you as well. I hate notifications. The only thing I like to be notified is calendar + clock. And slack at work! I periodically check my email and I rarely need to be notified anything.

My target audience is mostly the average joe internet user. What I found is that the ones who contribute quality content sometimes return back to their post to check for comments and respond. But most of the time it's unattended comments. So I am still experimenting.

It's highly likely that they have been conditioned on all platforms and expecting the same here too. A weekly digest type of email is something I am considering. Not to grab their attention, but to nudge them about the existence of unattended comments.

I'd love to read it. But it's blocked! Not sure who is the asshole here. Medium or the one who wrote it? Or both?
tridenrake··on Ask HN: Full-on machine learning for 2020, what are the best resources?
I guess his point is to tackle it from a top-down approach. For me, that's how I am breaking ground in my ML study. I tried Andrew Ng's course, I didn't understand a thing.

Then I tried Kaggle's mini-course. It kickstarted me into ML and motivated me to learn the theory as I go. For example, when I got to apply Random Forest Regressor, I went to Wikipedia and tried to read on it. Got some idea. And the progress is good.

Maybe for some of us, I think top-down is motivating and makes the learning process enjoyable.

tridenrake··on Ask HN: Solo devs, how do you plan your development?
Solo dev with an intermediate experience here!

I create a GitHub project (now that private repos and projects are free) with more or less the same type of boards like yours. With that triaged, I reference each card as an issue to my repo and work on milestones -- which shows the progress % :).

I used Asana before this, but I like GitHub now.
