bot41··on Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News for writers?

Not even in work?

Suggestion: Let users share their piecharts via a link/image on twitter, reddit etc.
bot41··on Ask HN: Daily users of Mastodon, what do you use it for?
Can someone post a link to anything on Mastodon? I have never seen it used and never even heard it mentioned outside of HN

What is "Manifest v3"?
bot41··on Ask HN: Why do companies want us “back in office” despite productivity costs?
Plus commuting is terrible for the environment. Nobody discusses that either.
bot41··on Ask HN: Why do companies want us “back in office” despite productivity costs?
Here's my thoughts:

Companies think they will see a higher turnover when people are WFH. This is because the job is just a job - it's no longer making friends at the office or having a personal space or routine. In my job, some people have worked together for 15 years. That makes it hard to leave because you're not just leaving the day-to-day work but all the relationships that have grown over the years.

Getting new joiners up to speed takes more effort when WFH and companies think these people won't integrate as well. And if they don't integrate they will more likely leave for another job. GOTO first paragraph.

bot41··on Ask HN: Which startups have the most interesting pivot stories?
That is not that interesting. It's something everyone realizes when they try make a budgeting app. Plaid decided to break the rules to create a product. They collected end users authentication details and pretended to be them to scrape data from financial institutions.
bot41··on TIL: You can access a user’s camera with just HTML
Maybe he can't connect his phone to the same network the local server is on? Maybe he wants to share the URL to people not on the same network?

> Maaaan if we were in the same room.

What does that part mean exactly? Sounds a bit threatening.

bot41··on Ask HN: YC misses that went on to do well (like veed.io)
Looks like clearbit is "just" a broad services company. I thought YC invests in more specific products/services like dropbox or airbnb.

(I don't think there's anything wrong with clearbit just to be clear)

bot41··on The Air Force Just Survived a Reply-All Apocalypse
Your action is part of a Reply-All Apocalypse.

Everyone chimes in with something either saying "STOP", "drop me off the list" or "hey everyone stop replying to everyone"

bot41··on 2 Weeks Notice Checklist
In my case, they have to give 3 months notice as well. That's what is in the contract. I'm not sure how that would work in practise. I guess they can fire effective immediately but I can't quit effective immediately
bot41··on 2 Weeks Notice Checklist
2 weeks? I have to give 3 months notice to my job
bot41··on Show HN: Zelda Breath of The Wild Street View
Woah this gave me a memory flashback to around 2002 when GTA Vice City came out. Some French guy made all-vice-city.fr.st (that link doesn't work now). It was made in Flash and was a map of vice city showing all the locations of stuff.

Anyway, thanks for the memory and cool map :)

bot41··on JavaScript hydration is a workaround, not a solution
> Just make something that works with with HTML and CSS alone, and enhance it with JS

If you do this and have a sufficiently complex application... you will end up where the modern frameworks are. They exist for a reason.

bot41··on DevOps: An idea so good, no one admits they don’t do it
I think it means devs that write their pipelines themselves. Someone else has to enable the devs to do that
bot41··on DevOps: An idea so good, no one admits they don’t do it
What's a break period? Where is that described?

bot41··on Ask HN: How can I come to peace with the years I wasted on pointless things?

bot41··on Show HN: Devbox – Easy, predictable shells and containers
Imagine a group of Java developers that use Eclipse. Can this be helpful to them?
bot41··on The Four Dirty C-Words of the Internet
Content creator is much better than influencer. Content creator tells us that the person is making content as their job. That means they'll give reviews or promote products they don't believe in. They'll do and say things to get views... because it is all content. There's no relationship there with the consumers.. the content is all that matters.

Now that is it framed in a better way, we can choose.. do we want to consume that persons content?
