nekgrimon Crises that humanity now faces

I don't ask doctors to do it for me, but I'd love my government to have enough humanity to allow me to die without pain.

nekgrimon Crises that humanity now faces

And still, our right-wing politics (in France) still think euthanasia shouldn't be allowed.

Screw this world if you want, but at least let me die before you kill us all.

nekgrimon Ask HN: How do you install developer tools on a fresh system?

I created a personal list, but half of the install is manually made: https://framagit.org/briced/conffiles/raw/master/INSTALL.md

nekgrimon A Day in the Life of Americans

Love that "Wake up" is 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30 precisely. So regular, so predictible.

We really need to learn to listen to our natural sleep cycles.

nekgrimon A Savings App Designed by a Behavioral Economist

YNAB (and surely other apps) works that way. Your money is affected to the budget you want, not "free to spend". They have a nice 9 day course about managing your budget (Email: https://www.youneedabudget.com/method/nine-day-course, PDF: http://www.youneedabudget.com/downloads/9DayCourse.pdf)

I may be a bit biased because I really love this app, but it helped me a lot to stop throwing money on useless things.

nekgrimon I found my father living on the street

Beautiful story. Not very relative to HN I think, but it's good to see the world throught other points of view, sometimes.

Thanks for this post.

nekgrimon Ask HN: Do you use a tablet?

Got a LG Gpad 8" last year. Used it for reading comics and playing strategy/RPG games (unplayable on my 5" nexus due to screen size).

However, I hadn't used it long, and I'm thinking about selling it. A good device for consumption, but I always have a computer near me (at home or work), so useless for productive work. And I can read on my computer too. And play games.

nekgrimon Little evidence of health benefits from organic foods, study finds

if you’re an adult and making a decision based solely on your health"

Not infecting the Earth seems like a pretty big benefit. Can we stop beeing so selfish?

nekgrimon The 25% Discount that Cost Us $12,000 (Plus, a Big Announcement)

"Don't do discounts, but bundle and sale other people's discounts."

nekgrimon Huge hack 'ugly sign of future' for Internet threats

Attackers used a well-known method (to bring down a system) known as Denial of Service (DoS)

The sentence is missing commas, but it's clearly saying that a DoS is a method.

nekgrimon Why is the opt-in toolbar scam still acceptable?

I didn't know this app. Thanks a lot!

nekgrimon Revive the Postal Service by making it a bank

And now, instead of 4 persons dedicated to postal services, we have 3 for banking and 1 for posting. So. Great.

nekgrimon How not to write a job post

I'm in France, salaries are different. I'm around 40k/year.

In my case, I use about 150-200€ for midday lunches in a normal month (eating out, I'm in a client's office, and eating at my desk would means eating alone, and I forbid myself to do this anymore). So that's 200*12 every year.

If it's free food, it's money I don't get, so I don't have to pay taxes on this money. I'm in the 30% range, so free food = about 3k€/year salary.

nekgrimon How not to write a job post

Indeed... When I write "week", my brain autocompletes with "end". My bad.

nekgrimon How not to write a job post

I consider perks as a part of the salary. Let's take an extreme case: free food. If I can eat for free 5 days a weekend, that's a lot of money I don't have to pay!

nekgrimon Subpixel animation differences on browsers

I can't find any difference in Chrome, but in FF there's a visible difference between the renderings.

nekgrimon What Are You Going To Stop Doing in 2014?

When my glass is full, I empty it. When it's empty, I buy an other one.

Started socializing (as in "going in bars with friends") this year, but I really dislike my behaviour. So next year, I will try to REDUCE it.

Moderation is everything.

nekgrimon Little Data: How do we query personal data?

Yahoo Pipes can be used for normalisation, but I don't know any datamining program for little datas...
