hypersundays··on Panic at the Job Market
Made my day. Especially the Field Report.
hypersundays··on Ask HN: Do you create music? let's hear it
I've been trying to make music for years and I've found that I have a hard time finishing stuff on my own but I actually really enjoy collaborating and helping other artists produce their tracks.

I'm a co-producer on this track by this extremely talented and prolific R&B singer who was gracious enough to let me help her where I could.

I'm hoping to release some of my own stuff eventually but for now, I hope you like R&B!

hypersundays··on Ask HN: Advice for finding an entry-level remote job?
If you do documentation editing well, you might try and look for a role as a technical writer or freelance as one.

Other than that, I would keep improving documentation on open source where you can and should. Then highlight that work as much as you can on your resume.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that you find your start!

hypersundays··on Poll: Switching from WhatsApp
I actually think the existence of Viber is a testament to how much Western tech does not pay attention to parts of the world like Asia.

I genuinely hate the UX of Viber but since moving back to the Philippines, I've been involved in this long lesson on how much tech orgs (at least in the US) don't pay attention to these parts of the world. It seems to me that lack of care and attention leads to the rise and dominance of companies like Viber, Grab, Lazada, and their ilk in markets like the Philippines.

In the end, these apps that you and I both despise are what works best for the consumers that use them most precisely because they just work (but not well).

hypersundays··on Poll: Switching from WhatsApp
I would like to second that you should avoid Viber if possible. It's clunky and incredibly slow and astonishingly frustrating

hypersundays··on Show HN: I made a Mahjong browser game
Hi, great job. I always knew how to play multiplayer mahjong (incredibly underrated family/friends activity) but not solitaire mahjong. Now I know cuz of your game!
hypersundays··on Things I Don’t Know as of 2018
Don't be too sure about not having difficulty being employed in areas you know.

During my last job hunt three years ago, I had interviews every week. On my current job hunt, I'm having problems booking just one.

There will always be a combination of factors that can make your job search easier or harder.

hypersundays··on Pfizer submits Covid vaccine to FDA for approval, to distribute in December
I wonder how long it'll be before third world countries get the vaccine
hypersundays··on Songwhip – Share a music link to every platform
This reminds me of bop.fm (YC S14, I think) in a way.
hypersundays··on $250k books sold, to save lives
He has a blog post on the site about the approach he took.

Instead of going to Penguin to get his book published, he decided to try doing the whole process himself. That included getting translations done, coordinating printing, building a webstore, etc.

It's pretty cool tbh

hypersundays··on Ask HN: What are you learning?
Currently building something with Svelte.

It's not as breezy as I was hoping...
