Hey Marko, thank you for this resource! As somebody who is teaching themselves full-stack development, it's easy to miss out on learning tips and tricks like these. This is very useful. I'm going to link to your webpage…
Hey David, I'm adding your TIL page to the list/site/project I mentioned upstream in this thread (a sortable collection of TIL pages and notes). > I see publishing in increasing sizes of granularity as a pipeline (notes…
Thanks, Saverio! Your page is now on the list! I had a look through and your notes are great as well.
Thank you for the excellent job you do here, Dan, and for taking the time to explain decisions. I know from moderating another, much smaller community, how difficult and thankless of a task it can often be. But thank…
Hey Simon! I love the concept of "learning in public" and I absolutely love what you've done here. So much so that I am now creating my own TIL page and have also decided to create a webpage listing links to TIL pages,…
When you move overseas, wouldn't you take anything with sentimental value onboard with you as luggage? I can't imagine being too devastated to lose books or whatever other larger items people take when they relocate…
I think any future generations will likely have more advanced technologies for finding stuff. And hopefully somebody figures out how to find my glasses.
Okay, who's joining me for an expedition? Finders keepers, right?
So insurance companies are losing money and raising premiums accordingly? Perhaps nobody is losing enough money to really care about the problem. The graph in the linked article suggests that 11 out of the last 13…
There are quite obviously consequences, but perhaps not for the people who are in a position to ensure the containers don't fall overboard? Somebody is certainly losing money here.
I'm still teaching myself full-stack web development but I've worked on a couple of projects with a friend who has a great amount of skill and experience. I was slightly horrified to see the kinds of haphazard and…
> You beat me to it! I would feel bad, but I was the person who seems to have coined the term earlier in this thread, albeit accidentally :-)
I just registered the domain for my first web development company, https://prouserdesign.com. History in the making! Perhaps this might turn out to be one of those threads that gets reposted to HN years later after a…
It's a bit surprising to me that my comment above is the top Google Search result for "pro-user design". I'm surprised both because Google has indexed the comment within 10 minutes and also because I would have expected…
Agreed. I would go with something like "pro-human design" or "pro-user design".
And I do really want to emphasize that I'd recommend staying away from Fiverr or any similar gig marketplaces for a bigger job like this. If it was just a simple website using Wordpress or some other CMS, I'd probably…
Here on HN? Maybe on Reddit? Although again, I'd be surprised if there's many very good web developers advertising on or looking for work there. I have hired somebody on Reddit for a small job before (an illustration)…
I think that good web developers and agencies can probably really pick and choose their clients as well, and they probably don't like to waste time entertaining numerous "potential" clients who after 3 hours of listing…
I'd advise you to stay well away from Fiverr based on my past experiences (as a buyer, not a freelancer) especially for something as big as a custom web development project. It's been a few years since I've been on the…
And to add onto this, an old acquaintance ran into me quite a while ago and we got to talking about web dev and he said he wanted me to make a website for him and asked "How much?" I said $500 (he really was just an old…
I am still learning web dev but my guess would be that there probably just isn't a very big market for custom webdev agencies anymore, due to social media like Instagram and Facebook pages acting as de facto websites…
OT but when I open an article like this in Firefox's reader view, it often displays each image twice, first a blurry version and then the actual image. This is frustrating when I want to print a long article from reader…
I was only joking but you have made a valid point.
I would have thought that Mark of all people would have complete faith in the privacy of Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Very curious indeed.
