Personally, I gave up on Google Chrome long back and moved to Firefox.

What's your opinion on this new tracking mechanism that Google rolled out?

Whoa, thanks for posting such a detailed comment. Loved to hear your experiences.

> It is so much harder to separate work and personal life when you have mixed devices.

Yup, exactly. The lines get blurry and you end up overworking.

> The company has some variety of admin access to the device for forensics, remote wipe.

Yup, I missed this point. Totally valid.

If you have tried out any of the new language-learning browser extensions, what are your thoughts?

In this post, I talk about how the current newsletter frenzy has plagued our email inboxes, and how I deal with the situation.

WDYT? Are you tired of receiving too many newsletters?

I unplugged my Google Home Mini long back because of this unethical spying.

By sensitive stuff, what sort of files are you talking about?

It supports Hindi words as well. Great stuff.

Hi guys,

I have been working on a side-project for a few months to solve the "ever growing reading list" problem in current read-it-later apps like Pocket or Instapaper.

Dayreads allows you to save articles to your inbox, like a to-do list app, and then create smaller and manageable reading lists for each day of the week.

I have been using this app for quite some time, and it has been helpful in maintaining a reading habit.

Here's a getting started guide: https://dayreads.help/getting-started

Currently, there are no mobile apps, but there are browser extensions for Chrome/Edge and Firefox.

Hoping to get some feedback from the HN community before I go deeper into this project.

Just to clear the air here. The posts that you are talking about were either for company blogs, or casual "I don't care if they live or die" kind of posts.

At around the same time, I started working on a small blogging platform of my own but gave up and started using SSGs like Gatsby, Jekyll, etc.

Hope this clears things up. :)

CleanShot X is an amazing tool for grabbing screenshots on macOS. I'm giving away 3 licenses worth $29 each on this post where I talk about my favourite areas of the app.

I was wondering how many people here on HN use type aliasing in their codebase.

Kotlin, Swift or any other language.

I switched from Apple Music to Spotify solely because of Spotify's awesome recommendation engine.

Can't even think of switching back to Apple Music after witnessing Spotify's magic.

I guess the recommendation system will keep on giving an extra edge to Spotify over the years to come.

Guess, will have to use a cheap phone to book my flight tickets next time. :-P

I remember a Kickstarter project which demoed a small device that you can keep in front of you and it will act as your very own real-time translator.

But this is super dope. Great job by the team at Google.

That's a funny one. :-D

That should work just fine.

Hours of inactivity will harm you. Frequent breaks, help.

Thanks for the tip. :-)

Glad to know that you liked the design. I've been working on this for some time now.

I'll keep polishing it.

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for going through the mission statement and appreciating what I'm doing with this project.

Having worked in a startup for over 2 years now, there's one thing that I have noticed.

Most people like their butts glued to their chair and keeping activity to a minimum.

I mean like for traveling even 1KM they tend to get a cab.

I tried getting some guys to the gym with me or to eat healthy.

Some tried. Some didn't. Most of them didn't stick to their healthy habits for long.

What I was doing was cheerleading them to health. That's not the push they required.

They needed to know what's wrong with their current habits. Why they should be improving their habits. How to do it.

That is when this project was born.

I wanted to hand out claims that are backed by science in a lucid manner. Also, what I think most blogs do is just say stuff and end the article.

I want my readers to take away actionable tips after completing the article. They should be knowing what to do right after reading each article.

That's my main aim with this project. Educate, inspire, and influence people towards a better life. To help them decide what's good for them.

I launched the site yesterday. Planning to do 1-2 solid articles each week.

Thanks again for your kind words. I'm more thrilled to work on this project after reading this comment.

Made my day.

Watch out for more articles on the blog.

Cheers!

Rahul

Well, I would suggest that instead of going all in at once, try making fitness a habit step by step.

1 - Cut sugar from your diet 2 - Reduce junk food from your diet (start having homemade food) 3 - Start doing bodyweight exercises

and so on.

It will be much easier to stick to the plan if you break your goal into smaller actionable steps.

I know that feel :-(

Check out this article, might help https://www.oreilly.com/learning/hello-tensorflow

I am very sorry if those words disrespected anyone out here, I meant no offence.

Its just that I have been dealing with this stuff for so long and also seeing my friends dealing with the same, so I decided to mention it in the post.

Sorry again, if I have hurt your feelings.

"good stuff is out here on the dangerous part" - true words, and I believe if you keep on learning new stuff and making yourself better its not that dangerous anymore :-)

Well I just thought that bolding certain sentences in the story which are important in the story would be helpful in keeping people engaged in a long story like this. But guess I was wrong, and I reverted back to normal formatting. :-)

Thanks for the appreciation and lesson learned, I will carefully format my future articles. :-)

Thanks for the command, but I have already done it myself :-D :-P

I was on my initial training there, I quit halfway during my training, so I didn't get a chance to work on a real big project in that company.

I am very sorry for my incorrect formatting, I have rectified the mistake, thanks for pointing this out to me :-)

Would love to have some feedback on this app from the Hacker News community.

Comment your thoughts, suggestions and bugs findings here, lets have an active discussion to make this better for all.
