gobeavs··on What shall I teach my son?
I'm curious to hear more if you're willing to share. I have two young kids and think about how to approach the tension between open to everyone, not seeing people as "bad" or enemies, versus the reality that some people can be mean, heartless, etc., and it's ok to avoid them.
gobeavs··on WFH is becoming a benefit again
I have kids and would prefer to work in-office or hybrid. There's lots of reasons people might want that.
gobeavs··on The happiest I've ever been
Curious to read if you want to share a link. I've been thinking about this too.

Impact can vary wildly between companies and circumstances given the same inputs however, so indexing on that can be misleading in interviews.

I've moved big revenue metrics with relatively simple projects. Anyone else could have done the same thing. And I was building on work that lots of product people and other engineers performed. That "impact" doesn't tell you anything about what I can bring to a new company with different systems and products.

gobeavs··on Ask HN: Is it just me or techno-optimism died in the past few years?
Do you have any books to recommend to understand more about the luddites and industrial revolution? I want to learn more about historical analogues for our current moment and my current understanding is at the level of high school history class and popular knowledge.
gobeavs··on Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood
Out of curiosity, did you know the neighborhood was like that before moving in? Or was it luck?

I agree there's a huge variety in neighborhoods in the suburban umbrella, which is unfortunately ignored in urban/suburb discussions. We're house shopping and want to find a "good" neighborhood, but short of knowing someone in the neighborhood already or spending significant time in the neighborhood it's hard to get a good indication of vibes.

Ah, I wanted a setting explicitly. I'd like to preserve my watch history, i only want to disable the home and recommendations.

What setting is this? I'd love to disable the home page but I haven't seen any setting for it
gobeavs··on Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android
I tested it out, unregistered in the app and now I can't receive SMS from iPhones. This link says my phone isn't registered either. Yikes!

Edit: it's working now, took 15 mins to work itself out.

gobeavs··on Decline in independent activity as a cause of decline in child mental health
What about the neighborhood made you choose it?

I'd like that sort of neighborhood as well, but other than sidewalks and perhaps a nearby park it seems difficult to gauge character like that until you live there. And there are lots of neighborhoods that have the objective basics (sidewalks, low crime, etc).
