Github copilot everywhwre. I love the way how it completes the code and even helps write documentation.

But I think it could do equally well for say when you're at the bash terminal, or even writing this comment, the app should just get the context and start auto-completing everywhere I can type, intelligently like copilot. That would be amazing!

This can be very useful to create a DIY withpersona type site clone for kyc

I think once the VR goggles get more portable, hopefully the size of contact lenses one day, it will make things super exciting once again. I just hope it happens in the next 20 years.

This is a rather long list so i'll just mention my latest favorite which I recently learned on HN and it has made my life very easy with bash

Whenever you need to use a single-quote on command line add a $ sign before it. It makes escaping everything super easy

    su user -c $'cd \'$dir\' && ...'

Before this it used to confuse the hell out of me.

I think your best bet is Amazon ses. In my recent testing, all mail always go through - unless the recipient marks it thus.

It's damn cheap too, like almost free for low volumes.

I think Amazon uses this for their workmail also and has become pretty strict at policing abuse.

I am only speaking for gmail though, so ymmv for hotmail et al which I haven't checked.

You're right I did face some issues too with this when one of the monitors was different but the solution was rather simple. Just had to add a Modeline in some file called 10-monitors.conf(1) and then it worked perfectly until I replaced the 4th monitor with the same configuration, then no such hack was required.

You're right it didn't work out of the box but it was very simple thing even though I'm relatively new to linux myself (relatively speaking)

I'd say Linux Mint. It combines everything that's good about Ubuntu while removing things like snap. Also the design is so much better but I feel that's a personal choice. But everything in linux just works so well now.

I run 4 monitors on 2560 resolution on two separate amd cards and everything runs flawlessly. I have all the software for free and most OSS is just as good if not better for my work (except games and Photoshop but photopea is a good alternative for that, and it can be easily my second nomination for this thread).

I know linux has evolved a lot and it's the effort of millions of volunteers which has made Linux what it is today, but for me personally Linux Mint really combines all the great things about linux into an amazingly elegant software.

Awesome, I wonder if there is a possibility to create a chrome extension that works like 'Vue devttools' and show the heap and changes in real-time and maybe allow editing. That would be amazing for learning / debugging.

> We use the --no-headless argument to boot a windowed Chrome instance (i.e. not headless) because Google can detect and thwart headless Chrome - but that's a story for another time.

Use `puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth`(1) for such sites. It defeats a lot of bot identification including recaptcha v3.

I found the same too. I think GPT 3 could write a similar list with the right prompt. It is too long and it would have been better if it was of 3 ot 5 most important items than a long list of half of which sound like cliches.

Regardless one thing I do look forward to is the HN discussion here with people giving their own points. I do hope to learn a thing or two from that.

This is so true. I too love to talk to users via smartsupp from time to time but just last time I was discussing meditation in Himalayas with a user after he asked where I was from.

He was super a cool customer and really helped me improve the product too but you need to have a lot of patience and genuinely love talking to them with a mutual interest in them and then you can interview them to your hearts content. Also don't expect to get any dev done while you're doing this :)

I think it's only a matter of time before this becomes kinda mainstream, and reddit too will be 'optimized' like google.

My naive self thinks his hubris has a lot to do with it. I mean if I were to speculate I think it's because he thinks he can do a 10x better job at running it if he were in charge of the whole show (esp after the recent shitshows by twitter like the bitcoin hack where his own account has hacked too).

Twitter has a lot of problems, like rampant bots, which have remained unaddressed for a very very long time and it can certainly do a lot better. And maybe he think he is the one who can do it. Maybe this whole thing can be explained by occam's razor afterall.

Like children of men but being done for the purpose of population control. That sounds like a good/scary sci-fi story!

Gaming is going to get so interesting with these emerging technologies. I played A.I. dungeon sometime ago and I was amazed at how good it was at making up believable stories on the fly.

Now imagine joining this with dall-e and you truly have a game which has never existed until now, with it's own story and graphics that you are creating on the spot.

Unlike the adventure games like King's quest where everything was pre-programmed, this is truly infinite never-ending game with a unique experience for every single player.

Like the guy from the '2 min papers': what a time to be alive. I feel so happy and excited just thinking about the possibilities these techs are going to bring.

Yes I've owned all sorts of laptops from toshiba to lenovo to asus including a macbook air and the mac was the only laptop i sold on olx as i just didn't like it one bit.

So to each his own and definitely op is just unlucky and the conclusion drawn in this post is just absurd and flame-baity.

I always just select the text and drag drop it in the text box with mouse.

In famous words of Mr. Larry wall, 3 great virtues of every programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris.

There are some sites that are so useless and they have never ever helped me once, yet somehow they are always in the top 10 results

1. w3schools

2. pinterest

3. microsoft answers and all microsoft websites actually (it always looks like the person asking the question is asking exactly what i want, but unlike stackexchange, there are seldom any useful answers)

4. all the code clones for SO

5. all alternative to / review sites like capterra, g2, alternativeto, etc. They might have some good suggestions but they always hide the link to the software/site and instead link it to their spammy page. So you have to select part of the link and then re-search it on Google. Doing this for OSS projects can sometimes lead to a whole new rabbit hole.

6. The best of lists. Google for the love of god, please ban them.. they are always always SEO spam and product placements. Often the blog post itself says "to put your product on this list pay us a $1000 and we will include them in our list."

7. Quora and similar answer sites.. okay it's a mixed bag but you have to be very careful on these sites as most often the answers are just spam. I never read any answer with a link in it. But I think it's more Quora's problem than google. But if google is strict with them they may do a better job at moderating I guess. Also now quora hides answers and asks for a payment. Did they learn nothing from experts-exchange!

This would be super incredible inside a vr headset like quest. But i think the video resolution must be scaled a lot like 4k at least, 8k preferably for it be meaningful.

I actually did have an app that was kind of similar and it used to make you exercise in streets of paris, etc in first-person pov but the video resolution was so bad it just didn't work. But i am sure there will be a huge demand for this in vr as it gets more popular.

That's a pretty neat trick. I was using `watch -n1` with grep for this occasionally but this is so much better!

You're welcome. Hope it helps you.

> has it affected your interview and interview preparation as well?

No I have my own software co for last 20 years and never had any jobs.

Anyway, I made this app only for myself since I found it incredibly hard to concentrate on reading long articles and books. Before this I couldn't even complete a single book in 1 year. But now I've completed more than 20+ books using this in last year. I have a small stand on which I mount my phone and just let this run like a movie. I think not having the phone in my hand also helps with the reading a lot.

> This is unfair.

Yes it is very unfair. Gmail is basically incentivizing you to send thousands of mails or use hacks like inbox warmups. The same happens for SEO when you have to care more about backlinking and keywords than actual content.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. It's how things are at the moment :/

From what I've seen gmail follows user patterns than all this technical mumbo jumbo.

So for a small business owner even 1 person hitting the spam button can be a kiss of death for deliverablity (and I know people irl who think hitting spam and delete are the same thing <facepalm>).

Basically long story short, if you send 100 emails and 10 people open your email and click on something there is a high probability that the remaining 90 are also going in the primary inbox. Otoh if 2 people were to click the spam button then high chances are rest 98 are also going to spam and soon enough you'll be branded as such.

Its why inbox warmup services are so popular nowadays. While I disagree with such practices in theory as most often they are means to abuse filters, your case seems legit and so you may have some luck with that.

Hey i have adhd too and have faced the same problem.

So I created an app just for this. You can try it at https://www.speakreader.com. Since you have adhd i suggest you go with at least 2x speed. I usually read at 3x speed just fine. At this speed your mind can't get distracted with other things. I read almost 1 book every week using this nowadays.

Fyi, the app is 100% free but you will need to enter your own Google wavenet api key for text to speech engine - since it billable over the first million chars by google so I can't give them away with the app.

Sorry are you replying to somebody else?

I don't think you're boring but I do think your brain is feeling cheated for putting in all this work over and over and not getting the dopamine rewards for it afterwards (which in most cases is often praise or money).

I think you need some small wins to keep your motivation going. I read this quote here on hacker news which was very eye opening for me at the time(1). This idealogy of using small wins while you're chasing a big win has helped me a lot when things aren't going your way. I'm a indie hacker too would be happy to tell you some strategies I've developed for creating small wins (though most of them are very specific to my product / industry so I can't say how useful it would be to you)

You can thank Getty images(1) for that :/ I personally think Getty and most stock image results are pure spam and google should have just ditched them altogether and kept the original search. Now google image search is also shit and full of stock photo spam:

I know your comment is tongue-in-cheek but I happily pay for Youtube premium and it's truly an amazing experience compared to the ad-ridden non-usable free Youtube. If Google created a similar Google premium where it had such features and no pesky ads I'd pay for it in a heartbeat.

Google can be the next Google if they just stopped being evil for a second:

1. Let me ban domains like pinterest, quora, stackoverflow clones, stock image sites, etc without requiring a chrome extension.

2. Do what I ask it to do. Don't be too smart. Bring back the plus sign, minus sign, double quotes, tilde which have been deprecated over these years and stop polluting the results with what it thinks I want.

3. A new feature where I can search inside the top 100 search results. Where I can narrow down the search results using additional filters like I do on amazon searching for products. So i can say "5000mah -clickbank" in the top-100 search results to weed out spam and narrow my search accurately.

This is excellent advice. Thanks for sharing. Also the cliche about doing it for 2 mins and if I don't feel like doing it after I can give up happily.. has always worked wonders for deprocrastination.

Definitely right about that.

Maybe some user can be unaware of what is happening with OSS, but the community as a whole will always have accurate information of what is what (unlike this case where everyone is guessing).
