I have frequented countless technical forums and built all manner of software, ranging from consumer-facing products to low-level systems. Yet in the end, Hacker News remains the only platform I truly love. Its design philosophy feels thoroughly out of step with our era, yet it is undeniably, immensely captivating.

boundless88··on Ask HN: Health Advice for a Tech Person
At first, nice question. I've gone through the same issues several years ago. I suffered from the back pain after finishing work everyday. I have tried lots of solution, such as sleep early, running, skipping, etc. I believe regular exercise is the best way to stay healthy. The key points are choosing the right exercise and sticking to it. I prefer to exercise in the morning, so I choose activities that are not too intense to avoid being sweaty all day. I practice Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese exercise. It's gentle but helps relax and stretch the body. I've been doing this for 3 years, and it works for me. Consistency is important. If I skip exercise for more than three days, I feel uncomfortable. So, make a plan and stick to it. I hope this helps you.

boundless88··on Ask HN: Do You Keep a Diary?
I keep a diary. But it's hard to record every day, just the most memorable moment or important moment in life.
boundless88··on Ask HN: Is anyone using a Copilot alternative?
I have used Tabnine before, is it not free too?
boundless88··on Ask HN: Does your company ban GitHub Copilot?
Actually, no need to detect the Copilot code. Just compare the code itself, there are a bunch of tools that can do this.
boundless88··on Ask HN: Why is Hacker News loading so slowly?
Hacker News is not available in some parts of the world. Like me, I have to use a VPN all the time to access it. The quality of the VPN is crucial in this case.
boundless88··on Ask HN: Is there an app for reading newsletters?
Yes! I like this too. Two years NewsBlur user.
boundless88··on Ask HN: What is your system for learning new things?
It depends on what you've learnt, the way is different. According to my experience:

1. If you are learning something small, like a function API usage or a language sugar, find a suitable doc, and write some simple test cases to verify that you understand it correctly. Absolutely, you can write down some notes about it.

2. If you are learning something complicated, like mastering a web framework, or master a new programming language, such tasks cannot be done in one day. You need to break down your learning goal into several smaller goals, and make a feasible study plan. That way, you'll get closer to your ultimate goal every day.

Agree with this. I learned a lot from https://www.youtube.com/@JonGjengset last year even though his video is so long.
