bibliotekka··on Ask HN: Has anyone been fired for ignoring in-office mandates?
> ...what are they going to do? Fire them all?

No need to fire everybody. They just laid off some of the workers and called it a market adjustment. Now the job market is flooded with desperate unemployed. Current employees will be more likely to adopt corporate policy, so they don't have to compete with the masses of job seekers. Job seekers will accept whatever terms they can get, because it's rough out there.

bibliotekka··on Ask HN: Has anyone been fired for ignoring in-office mandates?
Not me. I'm quitting because employer made the options clear. Either 100% in office or find a new job.

bibliotekka··on Show HN: Godspeed is a fast, 100% keyboard oriented todo app for Mac
The Cortex Sidekick Notepad is pretty great for analog task management. Expensive, but pretty great.
bibliotekka··on Why time seems to pass faster as we age
I thought I watched a Vsauce video that debunked this idea. Instead they suggested it was the fact that adults have fewer novel experiences than children. In other words, have lots of new experiences and time seems to extend. Something about the brain storing "same" in some kind of compressed time memory slot.

bibliotekka··on Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?
Awhile back a friend of mine started talking about how he was getting into coin dealing as a full time job. I was never able to quite believe him, and then was just kinda baffled when he started buying houses and nice cars and boats and taking expensive vacations. Was he legit or was he dealing drugs? Is the coin game that lucrative?
bibliotekka··on Show HN: Bernard – a link checker for your website
i like it and would love to replace our existing link checker with something better at some point. a killer feature would be the ability to notify specific individuals by email when their content has broken links detected. love the dog favicon, too. our government entity overlords did not bat an eye when budgeting $2000 USD per year for a service like this.
