shime··on Ask HN: How much do you contemplate per week?
What do you mean by "shifting the energy window forward"? Can you elaborate?
shime··on Ask HN: How much do you contemplate per week?
This happens to me all the time, especially when I get stuck on a programming problem. It's counter-intuitive, but sometimes the best approach is to take a step back and stop actively thinking about it.

If you're more interested in this phenomenon, I recommend reading "A Mind For Numbers" by Barbara Oakley [1].

She calls it "the diffuse mode" and it's useful for spotting similarities and making connections between different concepts and ideas. This is difficult to do in "the focused mode", when you're analytically working on a problem.

shime··on A simple distraction-free, no gimmick writing tool
I like the UI.

Couple of ideas to think about:

* remove save/restore and save on every keystroke

* create new URL for each new document, restore when visited

* save content in localStorage only, if it's not meant for sharing

shime··on Awesome Open Source Indie – A curated list of small open source products
Yeah, I think I'm being subjective when deciding what to add to this list. For me, a product has to have a beautiful landing page and a nice UI. There are other awesome lists for CLI tools and I've linked to them in the issue. It's definitely not intended for this list to list Unix tools. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll add them.
shime··on Awesome Open Source Indie – A curated list of small open source products
Thank you! I'll add it to the list.
shime··on Awesome Open Source Indie – A curated list of small open source products
It's not only for PHP or JavaScript and it's not for projects but for products. You're very welcome to submit some Java/C#/C++/C open source products if you find them.
shime··on Awesome Open Source Indie – A curated list of small open source products
I have to draw a line somewhere between libraries and products. A CLI tool is more a library than a product in my opinion.
shime··on Programming for money until I'm too old to
I agree. Enjoying life is the opposite of working hard for me, though.
shime··on Ask HN: Would you pay for a screenshot taking app?
All platforms potentially. You would want this so you can share screenshots with others and you would have access to your data. It ends up being pretty affordable for $2/mo + S3 costs which are minimal.
shime··on Ask HN: Would you pay for a screenshot taking app?
What do you mean? This is a service that would allow users to share their screenshots with others.
shime··on Ask HN: Projects that don't make you money but you're doing it out of sheer joy?
This is a great idea! Design could use some love, though.

shime··on JavaScript for People Who Hate JavaScript
Ember CLI is a cool tool that preceded CRA, since it was inspired by Rails' CLI tooling. Unfortunately that's the only good thing about Ember, since it comes with the "batteries included" mindset making it one of the most bloated JS frameworks.
shime··on JavaScript for People Who Hate JavaScript
Same here. Very clickbaity title. "I like JavaScript now" is basically a TLDR version of the post.
shime··on Show HN: Zapsnap – Temporary P2P screenshot sharing from your browser
Sharing screenshots in real time, when you don't need them to be persisted.
shime··on Why I bought your software
Great article! Thanks for sharing!
shime··on Show HN: “hello world” over Bittorrent
Thanks for the good question. I'll add it to the FAQ section of the readme.

Magnet hash is generated with create-torrent and magnet-link, like so:

  create-torrent message | magnet-link
and then appending the other params like download name and tracker to it. So the above command gives us magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b8e8adbee320fc312e5fd71479329c3d53c40aea and we append more params to it so it uses our tracker on port 8000: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b8e8adbee320fc312e5fd71479329c3d53c40aea&dn=message&tr=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000%2Fannounce

You also get the same magnet link printed to the console if you run the seeder first with node seeder.js.

shime··on 4 tips from 6 years of remote freelancing
Thank you!
shime··on Show HN: Wethr – get current weather from the command line
that's on purpose

you mean `curl wttr.in`?
shime··on Ask HN: What stacks dominate in remote jobs?
Thanks for the stats. It seems logical that Ruby is on top since Basecamp guys are probably the most influential evangelists of remote work out there.

I'm pretty sure these are not similar for non-remote positions, though.

shime··on Ask HN: What stacks dominate in remote jobs?
Couldn't agree more about the UpWork, though I've managed to mostly get long-term contracts there. The rate was far from competitive, but it's nice when you're just getting started or still on college.

I avoid it now though, most of the jobs posted there nowadays are just trash. Wouldn't recommend anyone experienced to waste time there.

shime··on Ask HN: How do you organise your codebase on your private machine?
What do you mean? I have a code folder with hack and work subfolders.
shime··on Some bad Git situations and how I got myself out of them
`git stash` will not add new files to the stash by default, so adding them first makes sure it does
shime··on Ask HN: What's your primary development laptop?
Macbook Air 13 2015 i7, 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. totally in love with it
shime··on Drop millions of allocations by using a linked list

Thank you for reporting this! Opened issues from your comment.
shime··on Show HN: Livedown – realtime Markdown previews for Vim, Emacs and Sublime
Wasn't aware of that, thanks. Livedown provides Github styling via [1] and uses socket.io to reload the browser content upon saving. It also serves images, so your rendered Markdown should pretty much look the same as on Github.
