max0563··on Ask HN: When is the best time to share an Open Source project?
> However, what you describe doesn't seem like one of those.

I actually am working on a project like that (database) so your point resonated with me. For what I am building I'll take my time and I won't release before it's stable because if it doesn't work properly for v1 then that could be a problem.

I guess the answer for the original question though is that it just depends.

max0563··on Forget Bribery – The Real Scam Is Pretending That Degrees Have Value
Yeah, I completely disagree with on the "BS classes". Philosophy may have been one of the most interesting and important classes that I took as a CS undergrad.
max0563··on Ask HN: What would you like to see built within the Fediverse?
I can sympathize with this. I am taking a deep dive down the rabbit hole and I still don't understand half of what is going on still.

Not sure if this helps but https://fediverse.party/ is making an attempt to explain some of this.

max0563··on This Cat Does Not Exist
For the sake of some of these cats I am happy that they don't exist.
max0563··on Ask HN: How would you create a startup in an unfamiliar industry?
But even getting a quarter of those therapists to all pay $50 a year would be a pretty good businesses imo.
max0563··on Ask HN: How would you create a startup in an unfamiliar industry?
Building the app that I am interested in improving is actually trivial. The problem is that the information on the site is created by other users. So to get started I would need to create my own content which I am obviously not qualified to do.
max0563··on Ask HN: How can I use my software development skills to help people with Cancer?
Well, that's disappointing. I appreciate this answer though, thank you.
max0563··on U.S. Freelance Workforce, Now 56.7M People, Grew 3.7M Since 2014
I never had any luck on Upwork either, so I completely dropped it. Those freelancing platforms, imo, are really not great. You won't be able to compete with someone who is willing to do the work for next to nothing.

Believe it or not, I have pretty much gotten all of my Freelance work for the last two years from Reddit. A seriously undervalued resource for this kind of thing.

max0563··on $75,000 a year with benefits no college needed. Employers still can’t fill jobs
I think the point is that there is starting to be this shift again to becoming a tradesman instead of getting a degree.
max0563··on Ask HN: What are some essential side projects that make you better at CS?
Here are a few I’d consider useful:

- Writing some programs in an Assembly language

- building a boot loader

- Implementing some neural network

- Implement some common protocols (DNS client, HTTP server, IMAP server, etc)

- Conway’s Game of Life

max0563··on Cancer ‘vaccine’ eliminates tumors in mice
I don't normally respond to messages like this, but this one touched me. Nearly a decade ago I had to battle a Sarcoma in my leg. It changed the entire course of my life, but has made me stronger as a result. It is an experience I don't wish on anyone, and remembering the impact that it had on my family chokes me up a bit.

Your comment made me cry.

"Squeeze her hand for a stranger."

OP, I will keep your wife in my thoughts.

max0563··on Show HN: CryptoTracker – Crypto Currency Portfolio in Terminal
Yeah, it's over a 1 hour period. I should say that.
max0563··on Show HN: Clojure Job Board
Constructive Criticism:

Get people to post some jobs before posting it to HN. If I saw that there were a lot a jobs on here I'd be more inclined to stick around especially if I was looking for a Clojure job. If I am looking to hire I'd be more inclined to stick around because a lot of posts must mean a lot of people are also viewing those posts. What you have now is just an empty web page with a few links. As a side effect of this, I completely forget about the site once I finish typing this comment.

Not trying to be cruel here, but I have made the same mistake a thousand times already so I know.

max0563··on Ask HN: Projects that don't make you money but you're doing it out of sheer joy?
Didn't make too much progress yet, but I am making a PHP web framework inspired by the one file codebase that Bottle.py uses and the structure (loosely) of Flask. I am a Python programmer that recently had to use PHP for work, if you haven't noticed :P

max0563··on Ask HN: Projects that don't make you money but you're doing it out of sheer joy?
Kids? Do they have a Github repo?
max0563··on Ask HN: What side projects are you working on?
Do you have anymore info you can give on that?
max0563··on Show HN: Real-time notes app built with Vue.js, inspired by Notational Velocity
Vue.js is awesome! I am glad to see so many more people adopting it for serious projects.
max0563··on Ask HN: How do you unwind at the end of a day?
I enjoy drinking a cold beer, and playing the Jaw Harp. Very relaxing, indeed.
max0563··on Digital Ocean Management Interface Down
Damn you
max0563··on Ask HN: Should I continue with my idea even though it already exists?
That is very true, thanks. The educational point is great too.
max0563··on Ask HN: What's your favorite open source project?
I don't fully understand what this is.
max0563··on The widowhood effect: What it’s like to lose a spouse in your 30s
I found myself crying multiple times while reading this. I got a taste for her helpless and sorrow and I couldn't deal with it. I cannot imagine what it actually feels like to lose someone that you love as dearly as a spouse.
max0563··on Enigma is a secure messaging app that respects your privacy
But... the enigma was broken.
max0563··on Ask HN: How do you market your side project?
That is a very good idea. The side project I am working on does serve a very specific function, so I may try taking this route. Now, do you answer old questions, or do you find new ones and answer those?
max0563··on Ask HN: What unsolved frustrations do you experience daily?
For me, it is remembering my keys. I have since attached them to my phone case (hackily) but on numerous occasions people have come up to me saying, "Whoa, what kind of phone case do you have? That's awesome" and they are disappointed when they found out I have literally just clipped my keys to one of the area where my headphone jack is located.

tl;dr a way to clip keys to a cell phone so that finally everything can be carried easily. (Credit/Debit cards, cash, and keys)

max0563··on Ask HN: What unsolved frustrations do you experience daily?
But then the people who wouldn't otherwise be on their phones have to then look at their phones to say "MOVE" which creates more people who don't have a clue. I have found that a nice honk of a horn or a firm "Let's go" does the job.
max0563··on Ask HN: What do you think the world looks like in 10 years?
I see VR and AR becoming much more commonplace.
max0563··on Ask HN: What is your best passive income?
Right, but techniques change over time, and I am wondering what some people are doing NOW as opposed to then.
max0563··on Nitrous Service Shutdown – November 14th
Well, this is sad. I miss the old Nitrous.io. The new updates they rolled out suck, and now that they are completely shutting down the service I'm just even more disappointed. Back to PythonAnywhere I suppose?
max0563··on Offer HN: Free logo design for an open source project
Coffer is a containerization platform for the minimalist. We are focused on creating a straightforward platform for developers who need to work in isolated development environments without the port forwarding and various other complexities that come with other platforms.

Thanks for doing this
