dotsh··on Gestalt: A set of React UI components that supports Pinterest’s design language
Wow, great repository but presentation is just unusable and terrible. Table "jumps" around like crazy when scrolling, logo and social icons take way more space then actual content on my MBP. I know it's just a landing page thats only purpose is to convert new signups but really... huge white space with ADELE name on it? You still have to explain where the name comes from. :)
dotsh··on I am a mediocre developer
You know that before SO and Google all dev community was doing well? Using manuals and stuff that are typically on your machine from day one or from moment you install something you want to code in.

Now it is: No Internet = No Coding. Then: No Internet = Who needs this shit?!

Since when changing jobs is an indicator of anything? This is not the time to spend 40 years in one company. So many people jump from company to company to feel the thrill and challenges which they currently do not have it does not mean that they burn bridges behind themselves or are bad at what they do. It's like climbing... but differently.
dotsh··on Edward Snowden: Facebook is a surveillance company rebranded as 'social media'
Surveillance and privacy... these are terms that typical "social media" users don't really care about. We can brag about it, we can delete our accounts, block them, do whatever we want and nothing will change because brainless mass will still use it to post hundreds of private information daily. They are addicted to this and if you take this "toy" away from them they will start behaving like hungry junkies.

Addiction is the power of Facebook and nothing more.

To fight with Facebook you have to set up another social media addiction that will dominate the market and expect that after a few years it will not be the same again...

dotsh··on Optimizing a Static Site
nginx + ngx_pagespeed module also.
dotsh··on Blue Vision, which builds collaborative AR, leave stealth with $14.5M led by GV
> Yes, you are, because you seem to put everything under the common label of "staring at screens" :).

I'm not and don't exaggerate with this. I don't mind if someone commute for a an hour and a half to work and reads a book, skim the news news or prepare for work meeting. This is not the point here.

It just hurts me as I see people who evidently met to spend time together and for 40 minutes did not exchange words but they scroll through instagram or facebook all the time and I am a witness to such situations constantly.

But this is not a thread about it, anyway I think that the AR deserves better times and much more convenient equipment than the phone in hand.

I'm not bothered by it just for me it's silly and pointless use of great technology.

But you know... you don't bring your computer to drink with friends. ;-)

BBC app is awesome it could be way more awesome when using a smart glasses but we don't have them yet. I'm waiting for that day... :)

dotsh··on Blue Vision, which builds collaborative AR, leave stealth with $14.5M led by GV
> Compared to what?

For instance compared to talking with each other. Didn't you spot that at every bar? Snapchat or Facebook Messenger are the main sources of communication now even for people who sit side by side. But probably I'm closed minded and I do not see a bigger picture.

I totally don't get how this could be useful without smart glasses. Most people already spend to much time staring at their phones and with this crap will be even worst. Such solutions were already years ago and were not adopted because phones were too weak and software unusable. Nothing has changed except that we have better phones and rest is still a crap.

I just wait for someone to fall under the car collecting gold circles...

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, AR have a huge potential but not for flying emojis or playing RPG games running all over the city like a maniac with a huge phone.

dotsh··on Awesome IRC
No Irssi? No Weechat? Only 3 networks? You definitely need contributions to this list. :)
dotsh··on Abadoned Kola Superdeep Borehole
Maybe they've excavated Balrog... any Grey hat want to go down there to check what they found? And you know, maybe you'll turn into a white hat... ;)
dotsh··on Ask HN: What's the Hacker News for different industries?
I'm looking at GN because I can not keep up with other places like r/golang or twitter and here I can view the most important information once a week without any problem.

Also on r/golang there are not too many comments. It seems to me that this is a problem of the entire golang community, nobody wants or have time to comment... this language makes you lazy. :)

dotsh··on The Dropbox Comp
They make great software, service and hire very talented people. Everything costs and you are not will to pay merely $10 a month? It's just silly.
dotsh··on My next laptop isn't gonna be a Mac
Good for you, still millions of users will by apple products because they are simple to use out of box. People here are only thinking about their power user experience forgetting that most users don't give a damn about that and are whining that apple forget about "pro" users.

Apple never was design for being pro. Also argument about cost is silly. Apple products cost almost the same as high-end computers are Samsung flagship phones. Don't forget about high price of Microsoft products... World is about money and that will never change and voice of pro users will never be heard as they don't make that much money on you.

To emphasize, I'm not an Apple fanboy.

dotsh··on Jack White bans phones at gigs for “100% human experience”
Addicted people will always look for excuses and fight with stupid arguments for them. In the '70s and '80s people somehow found themselves at concerts, they were not afraid of security, they did not have to check what "important loved ones" were and any of that shit and they lived happily.

It's hard to even comment on the fact that if the phone is locked, you can't safely leave the building during the alam because you are afraid that something will happen to him... or your contacts in cloud. :)

Now the majority will not survive 5 days without a telephone because someone will surely die, someone will get lost, a terrorist attack will happen, or world will be hit by the meteorite...

Yes, I have a phone, but I do not take it with me, and I do not use it when I do not have to... and it's not a smartphone. :)

dotsh··on DuckDuckGo moves beyond search to also protect you while browsing
You can uncheck that option in extension settings at least in Safari.
dotsh··on Styled Components v3.0.0
What sense? To spend more billable hours at (freelance) work. :)
dotsh··on Vim after 15 Years
Many newcomers using your plugin will have a huge problem when using vanilla VIM. The same problem exist with Spacemacs, Spacevim or other weird things.

If someone don't want to use VIM modal editing why not to stay with Sublime/Atom/VSCode or any other editor? They also have very rich plugins ecosystem. Not mentioning that Sublime is like crazy fast...

To clarify it's not an attack on anyone. For instance evil mode in emacs is also a heart breaking plugin for me. Every editor is made for different workflow, why on earth mix them up? And in most cases it does not work very well.

dotsh··on How to launch, startup playbook and cost calculator
Yet it's almost the same thing. With minor difference that they focus on interviews and long-term strategy than making MVP from day one. Also if you search through medium articles u will find hundreds of startup bibles based on Getting Real. ;)

For me Getting Real is saying one thing "Don't think to much... Just fuckin' do it!". :)

dotsh··on How to launch, startup playbook and cost calculator
Why to write something that exist for years and is for many ppl a holy bible for starting a startup? Has not even gone out of date and nobody wrote anything better. :)

https://gettingreal.37signals.com/toc.php

For years I watch how many medium articles, websites or self-appointed internet gurus write about the same thing over and over again... with very weak effect.

It's nothing personal, yet I don't like that chat look that force me to click and click to read something.

BTW. U make super advanced website for "Your estimated cost for this project is £1800"?

dotsh··on Ask HN: What business service would you pay $100/mo for
Just make you service and price it as you want. You'll still find someone who needs it and will pay for it. Then learn from it and adapt further. ;)
dotsh··on Ask HN: What job did you leave IT for?
ADHD can cause similar symptoms and more and more people have it. It's something very unpopular to diagnose in adults because many psychiatrists are convinced that it's just a childhood illness.

Many Software Engineers reach for Adderall or Ritalin to help them with this.

dotsh··on Ask HN: Vim users, what's your favourite colorscheme?
Most of them need also same theme for terminal to work as expected.
dotsh··on Ask HN: Vim users, what's your favourite colorscheme?
Default light vim colorscheme with custom modifications in .vimrc. I want everything work out of box without modifications of terminal colours like in Solarized. But used jellybeans for long time before that.

dotsh··on Tmux and Vim – better together
It looks like Atom but Im not sure, you can see more of them here: https://github.com/lysyi3m/osx-terminal-themes
dotsh··on Tmux and Vim – better together
I'm telling the same thing. Brain is required for coding not autocompletion. :)
dotsh··on Tmux and Vim – better together
As I said before I have no problem with neovim. Yet, I'm reading HN from about 3 years and I see more and more posts like quoted above. Even in this thread was one or two - dunno where they are now.

My point here is only to learn first and extend further. Not throw yourself into high water with SpaceVim and than say how much vim or neovim is bloated.

> * Autocomplete. This deserves way more recognition than it gets. Having function signatures, documentation, overloads, types, available IN-LINE while you type saves so much work from programming and is essential to delivering correct code. If you want to be an effective programmer, this is a fundamental tool.

Coding. This deserves way more recognition than it gets. Having function signatures, documentation, overloads, types available IN-YOUR HEAD while you type saves so much work from programming and is essential to delivering correct code. If you want to be an effective programmer, you need to stop relying only on autocompletion.

And as always.. have a nice day!
