You can get a general idea with free backlink checkers, just won't be able to deep dive and do various filters. Ignore all the spammy websites that usually regurgitate random links. Focus on the sites with high DR that…
>At this point market validation (and practice validating ideas) is starting to seem like the most important thing. Market validation - especially for online products and services - is indeed incredibly important, but…
Building for fun vs building for profit are very different and it's important to set your intention for a project, even though the line often gets blurred. When you are building for fun, it is for yourself. When you are…
Breaking down monolithic databases into microservices. Containerism and modern devops practices become borderline impossible when you're working with a monolithic database that's encumbered in complex business…
Talk to a recruiter, reach out to a staffing agency, or occupational therapist. Receiving career advice online isn't very useful unless you live in the bay area or know the credibility of the person giving advice. Odds…
I'd say working for an employer is making less sense in general, especially if you're a developer. It's becoming way easier to make money through other means, and you can devote your time to pursuits that are actually…
Ideas aren't worth much, execution is everything. I would like to encourage you to act on those ideas because the real art is in translating those ideas into practical solutions. Everyone has their own ideas of what…
I don't know much about the heavy equipment industry, but from the outside looking in, it doesn't appear to have the conditions to support "disruption." First of all, the majority of consumers in the heavy equipment…
The biggest one that hasn't been mentioned yet: Practice gratitude. Get a pen and paper and start writing down things in your life that you're grateful for. It can be something as simple as being grateful for food,…
I do wish we had the wild and free festivals they had in the 70s and 80s, but that's pretty much impossible now with all the regulations for legal festivals and the fact that organizers are legally responsible for any…
Sad how this technology is being used for tyrannical surveillance when it could be used to improve the mental health and emotional well-being of people instead. I imagine using this to improve the emotional well-being…
Work backwards. Envision the future you would like to live in 10 years and notice the details of that vision. For example, maybe you'd like to be living in a custom-built estate on Malé in the Maldive Islands, where you…
I think this becomes true when any programming website becomes popular. Just look at reddit. Highly technical programming articles can be hard to digest and don't appeal to a wide audience so they get less upvotes,…
I agree. I was recently in the market for a car and I think the best bang for your buck would be a certified pre-owned Honda, 3-5 years old, less than 50k mileage, and last year of its body style. A CPO 2015 Honda Civic…
Practicing meditation and giving all my effort for an achievement I thought was unreachable. Before I learned how to meditate, I thought of everything logically and incorrectly applied that to relationships as well. I…
Did you already have another offer or did you resign to just continue the job search?
This is awesome. I've been looking for a Docker project to play with, thanks for sharing.
The biggest impact meditation has had on me is that it's improved my introverted intuition; my ability to recognize myself, recognize what makes me happy, define my goals, and step back when my feelings are getting the…
I agree with you, but I wouldn't call it schizophrenia or say any values were lost, they were just reprioritized. Describing it as schizophrenia implies a disconnection with reality, but the feelings and sensations we…
For clarification, this study says that a cup of coffee is more effective than HVMN's SPRINT which contains the following: Caffeine 100 mg L-Theanine 200 mg Vitamin B6 20 mg Vitamin B12 60 mcg Vinpocetine 40 mg…
I imagine another flag is the amount of time viewers watch your video, in an attempt to demonetize clickbait videos.
Coffee. Now before you get upset, my company spends thousands of dollars a month on shitty coffee beans, rented coffee machines, and a monthly cleaning service for those machines. They purchase Peet's coffee which is…
That puts Youtube as a significant political power though. Interestingly enough, there was thread saying Youtube was censoring searches of "navalnyi" a critic of Putin. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15806393
