He spoke for his people Maintained their history

In dispelling the myths of old His house had been made sacrosanct

Jukeboxes jewelry and trophies Adorned the long corridor

The large Jackson Pollock that hung above the mantle Reminded him how we were all random strokes on a canvas fighting for space

He whispered in Latin “Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.”

Which meant “Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death”

The hand on his cane then tightened.

trifit··on Ask HN: What practice by a tech team pisses you off to your core?
1) Sprint boards are not locked and things are added close to end.

2) Sprints are made overly ambitious because if not everything is done it makes it seem that someone slacked off when the achieving all targets was impossible in the in the first place.

Ah good to know limitations. Will check that out.

I understand. Thank you for your honesty. I’m currently working on a tender for a potential deal with my company. It is regarding a yearly customer experience survey with a large bank.

Could you write an email or template for me suggesting to the potential client how our product is best suited for their needs and why they should go with us?

Hi, what’s your name? Do you feel HN is better than Reddit? So cool to have a non human entity amongst us.

trifit··on Ask HN: Where can I discuss random ideas?
Last two points got me rolling on the floor, very accurate summary of our internet spaces.
trifit··on Ask HN: How to Deal with Uneducated Contractors?
It was one time amount to be paid after deliverable. They have yet to be paid and are now not replying to messages. Plus the platform is now saying that our chats under review. \_0_/ | / \
trifit··on Ask HN: Investors, does God play a part in your decision to fund startups?
Also open to debating the first crowd tbh having stakeholders with opposing mindsets is a positive value prop.
trifit··on Ask HN: Investors, does God play a part in your decision to fund startups?
Thanks, I see. Your first point may hold for those VCs that want to cheat death etc. I want to believe there are decent people who derive their morals from enlightened philosophy or theology (and looking to connect with those).

Wow almost missed it. Sure was nice when HN support notifications. Top going otherwise ty

Is there a way to see edit history of this article. There was a book about a pilot which recalled his highflying lifestyle in global metropolises. Friendly web could you remember the name?

Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination. ~ Mark Twain

This is my view on the SSD crashing family of events. Lessons learnt to always be alert and have backups handy.

trifit··on Jubilee Cash Will it replace the dollar?
As Chinese vaccines couldn’t replace American made Pfizer, Moderna shots, these cryptos will fail beyond being a short term placation.

:) smile while the deregulation lasts bud

trifit··on Ask HN: How do you fix the “no longer feel” anything in tech?
My vertical is tech enabled feedback solutions and large scale sentiment analysis for enterprise but tbh that’s irrelevant. Finding niche problems where your product could make the difference is quite rewarding and helps in making friends with clients who see the rewards of its implementation.
trifit··on Ask HN: How do you fix the “no longer feel” anything in tech?
I’m in the same boat. A suggestion would be try to switch up the markets you’re involved in. I used to be based in SF Bay Area but moving to the MENA region has renewed my love for tech by giving me a chance to be somewhere that’s relatively early in its industry cycle and finding different business cases than what you’re taught in MBA classes.
trifit··on Is it worth writing about?
Love the encouragement to write. Something the author missed was changing environments to inspire better works.

Going from white lit office spaces into open air coffee shops or restaurants inspires a certain switch in mood which could trigger deeper observations about spaces and new tilts on the familiar.

In the same vein swapping out online profiles with a friend, sibling, partner could help see the information bubble we live in from another angle previously not thought of before.

trifit··on DoorDash to lay off 1,250 employees
Introspecting on this, do you feel this layoff trend is demarking a plateau of the Information Age?

After return home of course.
trifit··on Ask HN: Would infusing city libraries with higher grade books, be lovable?
I view a city’s knowledge graph as one of those large Tesla batteries for the home.

These could be recharged through divination on certain topics and hosting open conferences for citizens + targeting influencer partnerships for pushing people towards intellectual pursuits.

Last I checked these programs happened/started in September so we are in the early stages but such movements could really uplift millions. (unable to find the direct source atm)

Are you serious, frameworks similar to Iris gone? And we now have to use this?
trifit··on Ask HN: How do you focus on work for long periods of time?
Was in a similar place. Try pomodoro technique to split things in quarters making life easier.

Grippin’ question, could result in radioactive Martian microorganisms.
trifit··on Ask HN: How long were you on Mastodon before being attacked?
Sure, and end with no presence online.

If our ancestors had been this cowardly then fascism and hate speech would be norm not the exception.

trifit··on Ask HN: How long were you on Mastodon before being attacked?
Unfortunately, you come across as soft. The only way to deal with heartless people is being equally violent.

I agree, attack vectors need to be predicted but more so defensive contacts and perimeters that are mission critical.
trifit··on Biden admin finally recommends Ukraine negotiate with Russia
Quite cynical proposal, the differences between the stubborn Putin and adrenaline filled Zelensky are not Americas fault.

I’m sure US has better things to initiate than sell oil.

Winter cuts both ways, we are already seeing Russian recruits and officers voice their opinion against being sent to the meat grinder.

In fact there is still no justification for the attack on civilians which seems to have motivated Ukrainians further.

trifit··on Ask HN: So what’s the outcome of NIMBY discussions in your town?
Currently that seems to be the situation. I hope the input from our dollars will go to constructing green spaces and playgrounds.
trifit··on Ask HN: How to deal with my team speaking a different language?
Clue in Mark Ztelburg. Or spin the die to change teams.
trifit··on Ask HN: How are small and medium IT companies doing?
Handling crisis better than big companies. Issuing bonuses for productive employees.
