navidkhn1··on Using email wrong
If you’re a regular user of a free email service, or don’t want to create multiple email addresses on your paid email service like Google Suite, you can always use aliases.

If your email is me@mine.com, me+[anythinghere]@mine.com is a valid email address and messages sent to it and will end up in your inbox.

I tend to use specific aliases for services that send a lot of notifications (like me+amazon@mine.com) and generic ones (like me+archive@mine.com) for everywhere else (specially tools I am signing up for to try out, and I hate drip email campaigns they trigger)

You can then set up rules on your email service provider to automatically route emails to a sub folder, spam or archive based on the to address.

I use G Suite — I mark all emails from Amazon as read automatically (I still want to be able to search for them if needed), move most email to spam automatically, and move newsletters I really want to read to the inbox instead of updates and star them.

Oh, and you can also automatically respond with “unsubscribe” to stop receiving emails from services. Most marketing email services support this.

navidkhn1··on Show HN: I built a fake VS Code to browse live cricket score in office
Things can get pretty intense with IT "body shops" in India where the company literally makes money on the hour.

What was your experience like?
navidkhn1··on Will India Ban Twitter?
They managed to get TikTok out of the country. IMO, China has just as much influence in India as the US, if not more. They recently banned Internet access in several parts of Delhi ( the capital ) as well, during the farmer protests on Republic day. This did not even make the news. I know because I live here.

Moreover, the bulk of the population won't really be affected by a Twitter ban - they aren't on it, and make most of the voter pool.

navidkhn1··on Ask HN: What’s your go to deployment process for personal Django projects?
Docker with Google Cloud Run.
navidkhn1··on Every Google result now looks like an ad
I wrote a quick css snippet when I first saw it - I use it with the firefox plugin stylus.

navidkhn1··on Broken
Wouldn't know about the windows lock screen particularly, and I haven't been a windows user since Vista, but such low quality software and UX is what I remember being accustomed to during my time with windows.

To be fair, it was also vista...

navidkhn1··on Broken
I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but Catalina is letting me login without entering my password!

I have two users on my machine.

1. I "lock screen" from the Apple menu and close the lid. 2. I reopen the lid and it does not ask for password. 3. I start using laptop and lock screen suddenly pops up, but asks password for the wrong user. 4. I hit random key and the screen goes away, and i can continue working.

Also, it looks like a lot of settings don't work on the lock screen / choose user screen. For instance, the pointer speed doesn't match what I have set, font sizes don't match either, and the resolution looks wrong.

In all... It feels like windows?

navidkhn1··on Building a company is fucking hard
Well, you found one just now.
navidkhn1··on Why does Linkedin not automatically and correctly capitalise profile names?
How does Facebook do it then?
navidkhn1··on Ask HN: What browsers are you using?
There are times I switch over to the competition for change ( I used Quantum for some time after it launched, and have used Safari at times for it's simplicity ) but do always come back to Chrome, for work and otherwise. It wins everywhere!
navidkhn1··on Ask HN: Best way to set up a website in 2018
Well, I think it depends a lot on if you can & want to code to get this done. Otherwise, the answer is mostly comparison between several different website builders already available on the internet.
navidkhn1··on Ask HN: W2018 invites sent. Who got in and what are you making?
Congratulations!
navidkhn1··on Ask HN: Rejected by YC? Did they even look?
Did you apply long enough before the deadline?
navidkhn1··on Ask HN: Web developer and looking for a career change, what are my options?
You’re facing the exact problem I am right now in my life.

I am 21, and work in the same Technologies you do. I founded a company in web services a year ago (http://Bigdrop.io) which is pretty much self sustainable today. I don’t find a lot of interest in the domain any more and tire of new projects easily.

I however realised that my true passion lies with creativity, and it isn’t limited to the web or to programming.

I am currently working with India Accelerator ( http://indiaaccelerator.co ), which gives me the chance to interact with start ups, discuss and design products, play a high level technical role, meet new people, etc.

We could possibly come up with something to help you out, you can reach out to me. naved@bigdrop.io
