kyo3on A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto (1993)

Same here, most of my musical taste stems from their picks in some form or another.

Good read, thanks!

kyo3on The story of Eight Days, one of Sony’s canceled big bets

Genuinely interested in this console generation for some reason, seemed to be so important for the transition to online, but then we saw another reversal right after. It’s mistakes like this that I think caused Sony to re-pivot. Thanks for sharing.

kyo3on How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later (1978)

I posted this content the last time this post made its way through here and it seemed there was some interest so here it is again: https://wuu.bi/the-religious-experience-of-philip-k-dick/

kyo3on Ask HN: Have you ever felt trapped?

I think I was just venting this morning more than anything, I have to assume my interview went worse than theirs or I’ll just end up incredibly bitter.

kyo3on Ask HN: Have you ever felt trapped?

Guess I’m just another in the mix here, I’ve been putting out job apps for some time and thought I had a promotion coming that was given to someone else for what appears to be political reasons as I’m more qualified. At least I have more motivation to move somewhere else I suppose because being passed on for someone I have helped grow daily is just the icing on the cake and shows how blind the company is to their ever growing list of internal issues.

kyo3on Getting started with Git and GitHub: the complete beginner's guide

Seeing a lot of these lately, I think the best source for learning about git is here: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

kyo3on Ask HN: Co-found with someone very vocal about his politically incorrect views?

You should trust your judgement on this one, it already sounds like you’re leaning towards turning him away and just want confirmation. If he doesn’t fit your company culture why would you hire him? If he were a day to day employee, would you still hire him if he wasn’t a culture fit?

kyo3on Ask HN: What are the best SAAS options to set up an online store?

Since nobody has mentioned BigCommerce, I wanted to throw it out there. I'm not sure what your specific needs are, but you could use the free template or one of the paid templates.

kyo3on Ask HN: What were/are you doing at age 25? What would you change?

Also currently 25, and working tech support at an eCommerce company. I wish I had done more coding earlier on, but I've also matured a lot more because of the path I chose. I also understand technology as a whole, and I'm not in college debt.

The position I'm in involves some basic coding, but it has the possibility for more involved work. I can understand the fulfillment you're speaking of, which is another reason I chose a different path. Life's a balance. There's no right answer to this, but I'm sure OP and ourselves will find our way.

kyo3on Ask HN: What do you do when you suddenly feel like not working anymore?

This is really great advice, I just started a project like this and there's a lot I need to go back and map-out. I feel better when I'm just coding, but I get that's part of the process, I just haven't seen anyone explaining it.

kyo3on PuzzleScript – an open-source HTML5 puzzle game engine

This is so cool :D

kyo3on Ask HN: Is anyone else receiving spoofed gmail spam in their inbox?

Appears to only be certain accounts, my "spam" email is getting loads of this.

kyo3on What I Learned Burning $14k on YouTube Ads for Candy Japan

I've gotta agree with this, I feel like I should have a subscription like this and couldn't talk myself into it even when I was trying.

What's so cool about Japanese candy? There are a ton of other services out there like this one, why should I get this one? These are the questions I had that talked me out of it.

I say this hoping it helps, I felt really inclined to want to subscribe from past interest and I don't know what keeps me from doing so. Best of luck, and maybe I will in the future regardless ;)

kyo3on The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick by R. Crumb

This is a favorite topic of a favorite author of mine. If you want more information: https://wuu.bi/the-religious-experience-of-philip-k-dick/

kyo3on Why is it hard to make friends over 30? (2012)

If it makes you guys feel better, I'm 25 and it still feels impossible to find platonic friendliness.

kyo3on The Story of Tetris [video]

Love this guy's videos, recommend to check out his channel.

kyo3on Ask HN: What would you invest in if you were the CEO of Apple?

Open Source OSX/macOS, at least versions prior. Microsoft is going to beat Apple to it if it doesn't happen soon.

kyo3on Show HN: Card Proxy Generator – Generate printable game cards from JSON

This is pretty cool!

kyo3on Command Line Heroes Podcast

I really like CodeNewbie, her guests will motivate me to keep grinding.

kyo3on Ask HN: Forced to choose Python

There's a really good book, and this is part of the premise. Python is a great language, but I can't see it being viable for large projects. I do want to note that it doesn't say Python was part of problem, but in retrospect it seemed like the project was ahead of its time and the technology wasn't there yet.

kyo3on Ask HN: Books on specific topics that have applied to many areas of your life?

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

kyo3on Ask HN: How do you remain anonymous on the internet?

I updated the OP, but in short what I can with some effort.

kyo3on Ask HN: What good alteratives are there to Google News?

I like newsmap.jp, but Feedly is my news source of choice.

kyo3on Ask HN: What are some of the better Hacker News apps?

Hm I'm liking this the most out of the ones posted thus far, and the lack of widget isn't a huge drawback. Being open source is a plus though! Thanks!

kyo3on Ask HN: Is there a “product launch as a service” company?

I've tried starting something like this a couple of times, but want to do it full time someday. I would focus on the web building side of things, but would need someone with more charisma to do the promotional side. Regardless, I haven't really sunk the time needed or capital, which doesn't really hold well when trying to start a company :P Maybe some day.
