cschep··on The unlikely resurgence of Dungeons and Dragons
offtopic! but very cool to see a story from the Inlander that includes bits and bobs from Spokane, WA come across Hacker News :)
cschep··on What’s the rush? The power of a slow morning
There are lots of interesting jobs that don't have 9-5 hour requirements, or any time based requirements for that matter.
cschep··on Ask HN: How to found a company as a single founder?
you either just start, and fumble through and make it or never start. there is no such thing as perfectly figuring it all out and then starting. I desperately wish there was, but it doesn't exist.
cschep··on Start with a Website, Not a Mobile App
You can't ensure this natively either.
cschep··on Start with a Website, Not a Mobile App
It does have issues when it comes to getting users to do something they don't want to do, but it is more than good enough to communicate with users about something they actively want to do.

I have no interest in the former.

cschep··on Start with a Website, Not a Mobile App
Using email as a notification service works in this case. The user probably gets a notification for new emails.. at least if they do they chose to. :)
cschep··on The Yoda of Silicon Valley
“I am worried that algorithms are getting too prominent in the world,” he added. “It started out that computer scientists were worried nobody was listening to us. Now I’m worried that too many people are listening.”

cheers!

cschep··on The latest on Messages, Allo, Duo and Hangouts
this feels very early 2000’s microsoft. not a good look.
cschep··on Convert a Bird Scooter to a personal one with $32 kit
exactly! :D
cschep··on Fallout 76 Day One Patch Is Larger Than the Game Itself
I installed this a few times! :D
cschep··on Ask HN: What was the best decision you made in your career?
I think you're agreeing. Loyalty to people is awesome. Loyalty to corporations is not.
cschep··on GitLab raises $100M from Iconiq, GV, and Khosla, at $1.1B valuation
wow.
cschep··on The iPhone SE was the best phone Apple ever made, and now it’s dead
You have absolutely no idea if any of this is true and you risk nothing saying it. It sure sounds nice though.. :)

Making things at the scale that Apple makes them is hard. If the SE was a great business idea, Apple would keep doing it. Maybe they will make another one in the Spring. It's not dead dead yet.

cschep··on Craft: A simple Minecraft clone written in C using OpenGL shaders
What is the purpose of your comment? No one needs this. It must be to make you feel better? Don't make comments where the only point is to make yourself feel better. It adds no value.
cschep··on Being the editor of a newspaper in Eve Online
I miss this too, the new zone scaling/instancing stuff is cool from a tech standpoint, but nothing feels dangerous anymore that's for sure.
cschep··on Ask HN: How do I choose between software engineering and data science?
Apply, apply, apply, apply! Don't filter yourself out of jobs (Or anything in life, honestly!). Hiring is so hard that people barely know what they need or who will help. You show up, be honest, let them be honest in response, keep moving.

You're too young (I don't know your age, but young in the process) to be worried about which is perfect. Apply to both and whichever you get do it super well. Can't lose! Good luck!

cschep··on Completely Silent Computer
man, my mbp is on fire and fans spinning all the time just from xcode / ios dev.. backend dev on a remote server was the life! :D
cschep··on MrWint's GBC Pokémon: Yellow Version “Arbitrary Code Execution” (2017)
This is next level excellence. Seriously hard work. Well done!
cschep··on Twitter urges users to change passwords after computer 'glitch'
It would make sense at least from an overlap of Ruby best practices situation. They both started on Rails at least. :)
cschep··on Gruber on the Macbook Pro Keyboard
I find that having to look down at it to hit any of the "buttons" accurately is a huge decrease in productivity. I loved having play/pause right where it goes. Now I have to look at it, hit a button to go to a second level menu, then hit the button. AND it costs more money. That's not good.
cschep··on How Apple is paving the way to a ‘cloud dictatorship’ in China
But how would not selling iPhones in China, on principle, help anyone?

The perfect world where Apple tells China what to do doesn't exist. Ok. We know that.

Now what? Bail? Why? Stick around and play by the rules and play the game and maybe someday make 1% positive difference? Seems like the lesser of two evils to me.

cschep··on Show HN: Airmash – Multiplayer Missile Warfare HTML5 Game
this is very well done!
cschep··on Nix-build freezes system on macOS High Sierra with multi-user install
Playgrounds! :D
cschep··on Things Many People Find Too Obvious to Have Told You Already
The idea of failing at "giving in to a job" resonates so much with me. Thanks for taking the time to formulate this thought into words.
cschep··on A therapist’s guide to staying productive when depressed or heartbroken
don't discount your 40's and 50's and beyond!

so, so, so much time to make awesome shit. good luck getting through it all. <3

cschep··on SpaceX’s worldwide satellite broadband network may have a name: Starlink
Starlink is the name of Subaru's .. entertainment? center software? It's not great. It works. Seems a pretty big brand to conflict with though.
cschep··on Apple Watch Series 3
I really like the automatic audio remote. I am a very happy AirPods user, but I missed being able to adjust the volume easily. Now I can glance at the watch and use the digital crown to change the volume, very slick!
cschep··on Apple Watch 3
your ipad doesn't have a phone number :)
cschep··on Show HN: RESTful Doom – HTTP+JSON API inside Doom
this is SO cool, thank you!
cschep··on “Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will both ditch the headphone jack.”
just to play devil's advocate..

you don't see how it benefits people that use wireless headphones and are glad the phone has more space inside for say.. memory/battery/dissipating heat for a faster chip, etc?

we technologists have a very weird love/hate with progress. deep need to revolutionize and move forward and make progress and not do what our parents did and then.. they touch the wrong port and OH MY GOD

:)
