Flop7331··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2024)
[flagged]
Flop7331··on Founder Mode
I think this is one of those cases where there's really very little way of knowing what really worked and what didn't. It's like a sports team: you can make ALL the right managerial choices, but still fail due to chance and factors outside your control.

At best there are some reasonably good heuristics.

> kicked my door front door open

What the hell kind of messing around is that? Did he think he was at the unit he rented that came with door-kicking privileges?

It's like crypto hype without the crypto.
Flop7331··on Crows are even smarter than we thought
To be fair to Cain/Qabil, he didn't know ambushing Abel/Habil was going to kill him. Nobody had died before.
Flop7331··on There is only one amphibian emoji
One look at a pachycephalosaurus skull nearly had me convinced dragons were real and dinosaurs were the myth.

Ah yes. The old sickos trying to give acid to your babies.
Flop7331··on There is only one amphibian emoji
Axolotl. Very popular and recognizable.
Flop7331··on There is only one amphibian emoji
This is the kind of bad idea that I want to see.
Flop7331··on There is only one amphibian emoji
That was going to be my suggestion as well. They're popular and recognizable.

Our dragons are all reptiles around here. I had to slay four of them last fall before they set up dens in the yard. It was miserable work, but I'm a good candidate for canonization now, which is more than I can say for most weekend projects.
Flop7331··on Pie doesn't need to be original unless you claim it so
Maybe it's an actor for a nation state intentionally dropping this disinformation as a false flag to distract the humongous brains of HN!!!
Flop7331··on Pie doesn't need to be original unless you claim it so
I don't understand. The pie worked on my machine.

You have a weirdly narrow view of what constitutes art or craft.

> Software is mostly for getting work done

Hmm... While I try to refrain from picking sides in a beatdown on an analogy, that's an interesting suggestion that seems worth examining.

There's a lot of software I use that isn't for getting work done. Even the software that's meant for getting work done doesn't have to be used that way.

Flop7331··on Pie doesn't need to be original unless you claim it so
Careful with that edge, son. Don't want you to cut yourself.
Flop7331··on Pie doesn't need to be original unless you claim it so
I like it. We can bike-shed and ackshually the analogy to death, but it's a useful one.

How well does this pie scale?

Sorry, it's a pie. If you want some, I'm sharing.

I saw that too. Same thought at the same time. They should date.

> important but the work itself is fairly low value

Because it's important, vital really, it has noun value, but for some reason it is not verb valued. This disconnect is also rampant among nurses and teachers. If you know any, ask and they'll let you know. Dishwashers don't even get an appreciation week.

Flop7331··on Australian employees now have the right to ignore work emails, calls after hours
Yes, there is a need to be condescending. Outsourcing your personal notepad by emailing people off-hours is silly, rude, and abusive. That kind of behavior warrants direct confrontation and aggressive ridicule.

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Flop7331··on Out of Your Head
I've heard a hypothesis that suggests the evolution of eyes set off the Cambrian Explosion. Rather than a "a metaphysical world of wonders", it was a physical world of things to eat and be eaten by.
Flop7331··on Australian employees now have the right to ignore work emails, calls after hours
LMAO! No... How did you even get that?

> Sometimes I get a random thought on a Saturday

I'm suggesting when you have that random thought, you write it the fuck down -- even if you have to add a reminder to call or email someone at an appropriate time. I'm kind of shocked that this is some new development to people.

Flop7331··on Show HN: Remove-bg – open-source remove background using WebGPU
Non-descript error after 180 seconds. Vivaldi on Android.

Please turn off the rolling animation for the duration timer. It looks really wrong when the numbers wind back (which they wouldn't do on a rotor) and when the trailing zeroes vanish.

That's what paper is for. Not email.

There's also the call you get when the founder breaks something and blames the person who touched it before them.

The result might take all night, but you'll never forget it.
Flop7331··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Yeah, I need that too. I was able to get a therapy appointment in October. My last boss at Rent-Seeking Publisher screwed me over past the degree of "people used to duel over things like this". Also other shit.
Flop7331··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I have to cut up a downed tree limb in my yard, make birthday invitations for my daughter, and get a job.

As a socially inept geek, I would like to: whisper database queries to desirable persons and have a good chance of getting some.
