dudzik··on Mark Zuckerberg testifies before Congress
“GRAHAM: […] So would you work with us in terms of what regulations you think are necessary in your industry?

ZUCKERBERG: Absolutely.

GRAHAM: OK. Would you submit to us some proposed regulations?

ZUCKERBERG: Yes. And I’ll have my team follow up with you so, that way, we can have this discussion across the different categories where I think that this discussion needs to happen.”[0]

If facebook manages to introduce regulation that requires expensive processes it could stifle competition and increase their moat.

There was a planet money episode on that topic[1]

dudzik··on Show HN: Browser extension that puts relevant HN/Reddit/FB comments on any site
I like how you implemented our suggestions :)

You made it simple to switch between sources, and I like how clean the UI is.

Initially, I thought about each comment source being a separate extension. But I can see the value in integrating the sources into one. It makes it easier to get another perspective on a topic, without setting up too many things.

On the subject of getting different perspectives: Can you select the subreddits that provide you with the comments?

Furthermore, if you get released you have to serve a probation period of 5 years.[0]

Can someone explain to me the downvotes?

I can only derive from them that someone thinks that what I wrote is wrong. Maybe I am missing something and I just do not know.

I fail to see what the ugly part of the American past has to do with the current thread. Your comment feels a lot like Whataboutism[0] to me.

dudzik··on Why Am I So Lazy?
I would like to add that praising can backfire as well.

For example, if a child gets a good grade and you praise its intelligence instead of their work it seems that they won't put in the effort next time.[1]

dudzik··on Productivity in 2017: analyzing 225 million hours of work time
Cooking recharges me. I have to set some time (1-3h) aside for it to work, which is the hard part for me.

There is something deeply relaxing in kneading dough and waiting for it to rise.

I can relate to that. When I exercise in the morning I cannot get anything done during the day.

On the other hand I find it relaxing to workout after work. My mind becomes more or less empty afterwards. When I then do things that require more complex thinking the effect wears off pretty quickly though.

dudzik··on Show HN: MyTwoCents – browser extension to put a comment section on any website
It could be interesting if you tap into the resource of an existing website (Something like hn or reddit). It already has a community build around it and moderation in place.

For example, if you are on an article and click on the extension you could see the corresponding page on hn. If the article hasn't been added then it could be added.

I quite like this idea as it removes the need to include a comment system yourself. No need to include intrusive javascript or make the design visually littered. Can an author moderate his articles?
dudzik··on Show HN: NoMouseAllowed
I see the irony. Although I sometimes find it helpful to disrupt my mouse usage. For example when I want to learn new keyboard shortcuts or test a website for accessibility.
dudzik··on I do whatever I want at work and I haven’t been fired yet
Can you go into greater detail? I'm curious on how you arrive at your conclusion.
dudzik··on Turning off syntax highlighting
> which is only his own code by the way

Yes, working in a team is definitely a different endeavor. If your teammates or organization aren't open to changes to the style guide then I wouldn't recommend turning syntax highlighting off.

dudzik··on Turning off syntax highlighting
I think that this is dependent on what you are trying to do. If you want to understand what a program does than this is the way to go. If you want to program than you don't necessarily need the comments to be that visible.

OP here

Great addition. For me this is a use case for conditional highlighting. What I do in my code additionally is to avoid block comments. So you can differentiate them better from your code.
