Agreed. I'm at a stage in my life where my median friend probably is between 'just entering the workforce' and maybe 2 years of experience (from uni). One reoccurring idea in my mind right now is the notion of 'selling out'--what does the transition look like from "I'm happy living frugally like a college student" to prioritizing your career in your waking hours of your life? What does it look like to slowly convince yourself that just getting that next raise will finally make me happy (even though I have to sacrifice other things to do so)?

this is the life I want. do you have a more detailed write-up on your life anywhere?

It's an incredibly weird thing to describe. Especially when externally, you can act exactly the same but your internal perception of things is haywire. I've often gotten AiWS when doing job interviews or other intensive face to face conversations. It's not something you can easily just explain away: "Hey, I'm going into an AiWS phase right now and when we shook hands your hand was literally the only thing I was visually perceiving and I was overwhelmingly aware of every minute detail about it. I could stare at it for the next five minutes and find it fascinating. But just disregard all of that!"

This seems like politics as well. I know a lot of people with well-formed, thoughtful opinions that I think would do a great job making laws, but have enough self-doubt/disinterest that it's never going to happen.

It seems to me like there is often just as much creativity in thievery as there is in entrepreneurship.

100% this. I studied abroad in Istanbul, and when I was there I was blown away at how normal it was to either study abroad, study abroad multiple times or take a gap year abroad. It seems like a given to Europeans that they will do something like this.

I have been recently considering getting my genome sequenced. It seems like, if one of my main priorities in my life is longevity, this would be one of the most cost-effective ways to find out what factors are likely to influence that, and change my behavior based on the results. $1000 seems steep, but if you think about it over the course of a whole life, it's not so bad...thoughts?

This is my strategy as well. Keep a Nalgene topped up with water and pee like 10 times a day. Coworkers might raise an eyebrow, but who cares. It works great because of the power of habit--it's easy to sip a little bit of water every few minutes, and then of course you're forced to get up and move around/pee when the urge is strong enough.

Instantly signed up for your mailing list. Was super bummed to see there was only one article on your site!

Also, I think you can hit a great niche. I've never found any sort of super qualitative examination on social interactions like you have done. Traditionally HtWFaIP is the 'go to' book for this kind of stuff, but its age shows a little and leaves a lot of implementation details in the dark.

Looking for work specifically in Berlin. Specialize in front end development (most experience lately is with React), but really enjoy full stack as well. Organizationally, looking for a small (5-30), flat team where I will have the opportunity to wear a lot of hats and an entrepreneurial mindset is valued. Let's get coffee.

Was just about to post asking the same question. If you look closely, is this just the result of some MSFT PM trying to meet some quantitative metric for Edge usage? Or is this the result of a coordinated decision, approved by multiple levels of management? Have never experienced a large corporate structure, so I'm quite curious.

Agree. Having done the course, I think a text summary does a good job of getting to the big ideas (I don't really like learning via video fwiw)

Why don't you support Firefox?

> You can import the mockups from Sketch or Figma

How do I import Figma designs? I tried the Sketch import, doesn't work through that.

Excited to use this. Congrats on your launch.

Ah. So if you start a course it's automatically added to notebook?

Cool idea! I like that the data is pull-requestable. Have you thought about Duolingo style comments, where users can add comments for clarification/context? I find this very useful to get a better understanding of why something is (i.e. "why use "kein" instead of "nicht" here?")

Also, how well does it work on a phone? I'm assuming it's a PWA...?

Also, is there a way to "favorite" courses? From a UX perspective, "My Courses" feels like it should be "courses that I am currently learning". I don't expect that to mean "courses that I have created", especially since a small minority of users will actually do that.

Under the title on the HN post, click "web", then click the link from Google.

I've had the same experience. Especially if you get into using more and more niche packages (plugins for Leaflet), it can get ugly pretty fast.

Awesome idea. My zip (59718, MT) shows 250 miles away as the nearest food. Definitely as others have pointed out, needs a lot more data to be viable. If you are to take this more seriously, maybe target a single community and connect with local farms, i.e. https://www.strikefarms.com/

What if you can't taste it because your local grocery store stocks its beer selection based on what beers are the best according to the beer review site owned by ABI? It's not as simple as "just make a different choice", monopolies can exert control over the whole system the consumer lives in, not just the small decisions.

Wow. That's incredible how psychedelic these images are. I'd be really curious to learn more about the link between these two seemingly distant subjects.

I'll be reading this book, thanks for the recommendation.

This. If you want a direct, measurable impact/reduction in impact, go veggie.

Yes, I think this is the solution. Do not conform to the pre-existing culture. Force a new one. Through marketing/consumerism, sheer numbers of self driving cars on the road, I don't care. The current culture needs to die. It's cool that it got us here, but it has so many drawbacks that it's not worth using as a starting point for a new generation of autonomous vehicles.

interested in this as well. is there any way I can be notified if you do so?

Hah. I live in Montana, and I find myself lusting sometimes for the inundation of tech in SV. I wish I could nerd out with more of my friends, instead of talking about hiking/skiing/whatever. I guess the grass is always greener :)

I've always joked about doing this, but I'm surprised to hear this actually works for you. How long have you been doing this? How far do you go for your vacations? What kind of team do you work on?

Huh, didn't realize this was such a popular sentiment: Tupac, 1996: "All I want is money, fuck the fame, I'm a simple man" https://genius.com/41188

> Something else I do for sanity is on Saturdays I work in a medical lab at a local university for a few hours designing and testing algorithms.

Interesting. What is your main job and how did you get into doing this work for the university on the side?
