kresten··on Krita Receives Epic MegaGrant
OS X really needs a “good enough” paint app, like Windows has paint.net

Preview is ok for various editing tasks but nowhere near as good as paint.net

kresten··on Australia’s hottest day on record
It’s “climate change”, not just global warming.
kresten··on Google Brass Set 2023 as Deadline to Beat Amazon, Microsoft in Cloud
>> simply eat through time and money until it succeeds.

That was Microsoft’s Bing versus Google strategy.

Money can’t necessarily buy market dominance, even vast quantities of money.

kresten··on Google Brass Set 2023 as Deadline to Beat Amazon, Microsoft in Cloud
Does this mean google cloud is closing by that date?

What isn’t google going to close?

Would it be reasonable to now run a headline “Google to close cloud in 2023 following failure to dominate”

kresten··on My biggest fear: Taking time off, relaxing and resting
>>> there was no accountability or impetus to actually change my behavior

That’s what you need to be talking to your therapist about. “I don’t seem to be taking any action to change myself, I’m waiting for others to change me.”

kresten··on My biggest fear: Taking time off, relaxing and resting
I’ve spent years working 12 hour days.

Right now I can’t bring myself to do much more than an hour a day. I’m not going to attack myself for it.

It’s probably all the same person, everyone involved.

Web developers should write a simple web server.
kresten··on Show HN: Browser-based PowerPoint alternative
Copying look and feel is fine. Stealing the code isn’t ok.

Presumably this is s look and feel copy?

kresten··on Ask HN: My company wants my side project. What can I do?
I’ll go against the “get a lawyer” advice everyone is giving you.

It’s pretty clear you have no legal position.

But you are the key player in the project.

So negotiate. Decide what you could get out of it and ask for it.

There should be no lawyer involved with this cause it’s not a legal negotiation.

kresten··on If this project is dead, just tell us
It does seem dead.

The dead don’t speak.

And no one is replying to this question.

kresten··on An account is now required to read Reddit comment threads?
I eventually conceded to Medium’s constant harassment to sign in for free.

Now it demands I pay.

I wonder if there is a way to permanently exclude medium.com from all my search results.

kresten··on My Bootstrapped Micro-Startup Got Acquired
Hard to make sense of an acquisition at a cost this low. It’s like a month or two salary of a senior software engineer.
kresten··on NHS gives Amazon free use of health data under Alexa advice deal
Amazon doesn’t even pay tax.
kresten··on Ask HN: Just survived cancer, but now disabled, need advice
Make a YouTube channel that authentically documents your day to day life.

Your audience would be other people in a similar situation.

Communicate stuff of interest to your audience, get a slab of money from google.

kresten··on Ask HN: Gifts you recommend to make infants curious about cs and tech?
Nothing, steer them away from tech to be curious in non tech things.

Children need not the slightest encouragement to become interested in tech. The question is how do you get them to take an interest in anything else.

kresten··on The Lesson to Unlearn
Nothing said here about how entrepreneurs think who have not been to university.

It would have been an interesting contrast.

I wonder is that because almost all people who do YC are university educated.

Perhaps Paul graham doesn’t have much experience of entrepreneurs who are not university people.

kresten··on Coming Soon: AWS Graviton2 Processor for AWS
Complexity and cost have cooled my enthusiasm for AWS.
kresten··on NASA satellite finds crashed Indian Moon lander Vikram
Actually a person found it by carefully examine satellite images.
kresten··on Thermal Testing Raspberry Pi 4
The heat issues feels like some sort of boundary at which the question is asked:

“What is the raspberry pi? What defines it? What is its purpose,place and soul?”

Is it to be a hot machine that requires thermal management or is it something else?

kresten··on Siberia: 18,000-year-old frozen 'dog' stumps scientists
Has no-one seen The Thing?

Why are they even allowing it to exist?

Burn it.

kresten··on Digital Tools I Wish Existed
This is taking your digital life very seriously.

I feel like saying he should have less screen time and live in the real world cause such details don’t matter at all.

But what a hypocrite that would make me.

kresten··on Fibery – yet another collaboration tool
So which way to go .... the MVP that EVERYONE says to launch, or mockery because you’ve launched something less than perfect.
kresten··on Creating an open-source solution to the headaches of headless browsers
So how do you test such applications?
kresten··on Creating an open-source solution to the headaches of headless browsers
Last commit 12 months ago.

https://rendora.co/ Seems to be gone.

kresten··on Creating an open-source solution to the headaches of headless browsers
It’s sorta weird that you feel the intensity of emotion about this.

Maybe examine your feelings, is it jealousy or envy or something?

kresten··on Cthulhu Ventures
I expected The Team to include Yog Sothoth.
kresten··on The Danger of “Simplicity”
What’s the point being argued here? Seems to go all over the place.

Seems like it’s a rant mainly about semantics.

kresten··on Tim Cook Appears Alongside Trump in Re-Election Campaign Ad Shot
A smart Silicon Valley leader plays The President well.

That is all.
