agustif··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
I was looking into just getting a 3060 Ti for starting on my main CPU, do you recommend that or going for whatever gets a bigger hashing rate in one unit like the 3080 or 90 it seems, they are hard to get!

Thanks!

agustif··on Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job
Domain it's letsdeel.com, they act as intermediaries and you invoice through them..

I've worked for american startups, and the contract/invoicing was through them

remote.com is another such similar service.

agustif··on Show HN: ReleaseChurch – a fun-website to cast a prayer for your release
I got some wisdom! Funny bug though

> Your pain is our concern so here's some wisdom: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb? None – It’s a hardware problem

agustif··on A deep dive into an NSO zero-click iMessage exploit: Remote Code Execution
You're right, only hides it from home screen. Good thing is UE recently passed some legislation regarding this, so it might be there in the future at least for European users! yay?

agustif··on Ask HN: What is your preferred/most commonly used stack and why?
They seem like a very bright team capable of tackling it to me. Alfred was cool 10, or like 5y ago, but like last time I got into packal (alfred community marketplace) it was all errors over the place, which didn't inspire much confidence to a casual user...

I don't know, I just like what they're doing, The new Extensions api looks really powerful. I ported an alfred script to raycast in like 2min...

YMMV

I don't care about the paid/team offerings honestly, I use it myself, my teammates can use whatever they want. But hopefully they will have enough enterprise customers to make the company thrive

Thanks god you can remove Messages.app nowadays

agustif··on Mastering Bash and Terminal (2017)
If you want all this and some more without setting it up yourself, oh-my-zsh spaceship prompt theme is great...

I don't feel at home at a terminal without it by now, so one of my first installs after brew ;-)

agustif··on Ask HN: What is your preferred/most commonly used stack and why?
Checkout Raycast, it's the new Alfred yo!
agustif··on We will be retiring Alexa.com
Damn nothing lasts for ever I guess
agustif··on Dyson loses fight for $198M compensation over EU energy labelling rules
Marketing. Good (looking) design. Money for patents and more marketing.

I had one at some time in my life, it was OK but not life changing to cost 10x what a normal regular vacuum would cost.

It's just like any luxury item mostly flexing and status signaling through purchasing stuff, or so it seems to me

agustif··on Ask HN: Anyone interested in an offline version of Stack Overflow?
Can vouch for both apps! They're great for offline mode.
agustif··on Dyson loses fight for $198M compensation over EU energy labelling rules
No but he peddled brexit and then moved production to singapore... You might default to not trusting a guy who does that...
agustif··on But what about the bus factor?
Well ageism is a bitch in our sector, but you certainly have to have in mind that maybe for the same reason past-entrepreneurs are frowned upon, if they know you don't need the money, they know they can't force you to do stuff you don't want...

It's a bit like when they want to know if you've family/responsabilities, I doubt it is to pay you a salary going with those, but more to gauge if you'll be a good slave or not...

Anyways, if I was in your position, I would do whatever I want, but without working for a company anyways, is not fuck you money (or attitude) at leaat, if you still have to obey the boss on all the bullshit right?

Best of luck!

PS: Oh now I saw your username, I've read you a lot arund here Chris, I think you're doing great with your own libraries/iOS stuff, I don't see why you might need to apply to a company, maybe you should start yours instead. You would make a good leader

agustif··on Coding for non-programmers: Why we need better GUI automation tools
react-testing-library also emphasises this albeit not so much focused on accessibility, but writing good semantic code with stuff like dom-testing-library https://testing-library.com/docs/dom-testing-library/intro/
agustif··on Reality has a surprising amount of detail (2017)
On stairs, I remember watching about this one on Ancient Aliens or something like that, lol

agustif··on Microsoft Goes Deep on Java with JCP Membership
Github was acquired and isn't open source though.

VSCode is nice and open-source core maybe, but most important parts like server plugins remain proprietary.

Found this about TypeScript, Guessing some times the people can change the company? Maybe? https://www.zdnet.com/article/who-built-microsoft-typescript...

Thank you microsoft, just don't do anything stupid to the great commons and trust you have build out over the last years..

agustif··on Chinese embassy lobbies U.S. business to oppose China bills
It seems a backwards causation, as in the Third World didn't get money's to build the industrial complex to support cold war era efforts, and thus in current times it became the developing countries, vs the developed ones who got all the war-mongering monies
agustif··on How to build a second brain as a software developer
Mindnonde lets you build a mindmap and export as markdown so a reversal I guess
agustif··on Launch HN: Dendron (YC W21) – Structured note-taking for developers and teams
I'm a happy user of Obsidian as other users have commented, but I must say having your Notes + IDE on the same app has its perks.

I applied but submitted my code challenge, I must say being already familiar with TypeScript/React code bases and being a heavy user of VSCode, I don't know why, but after a few months passed I found again the code challenge in my mail and just did it in an hour or so, it was really easy to set up, iterate with, and develop what was asked for.

I think it's a big enough market to have several winners, would hope so at least! should look into how to share files in between them all

agustif··on Learn in Public
At least they try?

And share their findings.

For your use-case, one could offer a one time free shiping coupon or whatever indeed to those bailing, if that's better than losing a sale? For example

agustif··on Energy, and How to Get It
Being nitpicky it should be vim or emacs right?

If you go for both, there's no question!
