and it kind of seems like rewriting History if ex-colleagues talk about X-woman as X-woman in the past when she was not yet X-woman but Y-guy instead

Yeah, it is rewriting history in a way, and it can be tricky to navigate! I'm far from an authority.

I'm a 38 year-old male who has never had gender identity issues so here's what I do to empathize. I imagine that I was forced to dress like a woman and given a female name for the first 20 or 30 years of my life. That would have been a painful time. Additionally, I imagine that a lot of people think that I'm a freak for wanting to be treated as a man today.

When I put myself into those shoes... I can imagine how it would be incredibly reassuring/reaffirming just to hear people refer to me as "John" whenever possible, even when referring to times when I was forced to dress like a woman, since I was really "John" inside all that time anyway.
Indeed. You can test it on Verizon by doing a Google search for: ip

It should give you your mobile's IPv6 address.

Google’s Material Design Streamlines Android Without the Need for Silver
SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

I’m Tommy. I help SaaS businesses make more money by optimizing their sales funnel.

1- Visitor-To-Signup: get more people to try your product
2- Signup-To-Activation: define a better first experience and get more people actually using your product
3- Trial-To-Revenue: convert those free trials into paid customers, by designing your product for it

How do I do this? I help bridge the gap between marketing and engineering and do fast cycles of A/B testing to test new ways for you to make more money.

Examples:
- I write and integrate lifecycle emails into your product (I have spent years writing complex software products so you don’t have to worry about it)
- I help you find sources of churn by looking for user feedback and analyzing it
- I work on copywriting to find the best way to get a user to sign up for your product
- I help you design your free trial in order to maximize your customer success, which creates happy customers and a better business for you

I’m an engineer/marketer with 10 years experience in software and developed my own products. You can subscribe to my newsletter about SaaS conversions here: http://saasfoundry.io
Changing Keyboard Shortcuts for OS X apps
its interesting to me that this entry hasn't gotten more traction. i understand it isn't the most technical post (although there's an allusion to infinite scroll...) but technical relevance is hardly a criterion for HN.

i really like his point equating reading online to listening in conversation and its clichéd at this point that listening is more valuable than speaking. i find long-form articles/blogs much more informative because, oftentimes, they deal with more sophisticated ideas (complex ideas tend to take longer to explain). that said, i will be the first to admit that i am guilty of reading the first couple paragraphs of something before bailing or making a comment to one of my friends about it. sometimes i read the rest and find my foot in my mouth but a lot of times i don't.

either way, i am disappointed that this piece isn't more prevalent so we can have a meaningful discussion about the quality of discourse on sites like this. maybe time on page isn't an accurate representation, but i think the easter egg methodology could have some legs. there likely isn't a "cheat-proof" system, but at least those who read the whole piece will be able to differentiate comments from those who didn't.

I don't see that this conclusion is particularly repugnant. However, the author has a strong bias in the form of related opinions that are both morally repugnant and highly irrational, and that casts strong doubts on his objectivity here.

While it's good to point out that this also does not invalidate the conclusions, it's a rather different thing from what you've said.
I disagree with this post. Churn is the byproduct of evolution. Libraries will slowly die and fade away but we learn with each misstep. Sure, there is a lot of redundancy in the work but each different library/framework/plugin/shim is a mutation. The good ones pass down traits to future libraries.

Survival of the fittest. Churn is just necessary. The front end world is a huge ecosystem which is constantly evolving.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind our fellow hackers to be aware of changes within your own body. Being alert to physical and/or mental changes and relaying concerns to your doctor is one the best methods for overcoming several diseases and cancers.

As a personal testimony, about ten months ago user ifktaotc made a very helpful comment regarding testicular cancer and it's prevalance among young men warning that it was likely that at least some of those reading his comment will have it or already do so. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7120102

After reading I checked myself and found what was confirmed a few days later to be a cancerous mass.

I am very fortunate to be alerted to the fact very early as aside from some initial surgery it hasn't affected the rest of my life. Even though the odds of survival overall are high, not knowing it earlier would have required much more intense and painful treatment (chemo, RPLND).

The community that takes design patterns to far just happens to use Java (1.4 ;( ) if they used a different language they would do the same to that :(

Anecdote: I once saw a Perl shop that could have been the worst of Enterprise Java. They where the same because they where ENTERPRISE, they suffered in Perl in the same way the common office programmer suffers in Java.
Such instances always make me wonder if it's worth putting so much effort in chasing dreams, when there are chances of I dying anyday, just like that. Nothing else will matter.
All the ones I saw apply pretty well to the dark ages before devops when it was just called ops. You know, ancient history like 2013 and earlier.

Totally agree.

I will say, a well done client/server app is much more difficult to implement robustly than a web app. And, horror of horrors, users usually expect you to implement... undo!
I guess from my side it feels like it's something of a different business relationship to the usual case. There's enough trust from backers that over-funding will ensure a better product, even when the details of that are underspecified.

I wouldn't particularly mind things being more nailed down, eg "Here's my day rate, and you'll get weekly updates" but there's still a bit of a sense that OSS development needs to be apologetic for being properly sustainable, and it is awkward to navigate that you know stacks of people who're also putting in hard work, and not having the privilege of being paid to do so in working hours.

I think there's also a trade off - not having to justify decisions case-by-case does mean that I can just focus on stuff done, however I think that's best spent.

I also think we need to redefine our expectations. The amount of money this project raised on Kickstarter is huge by OSS standards, but in terms of business investment it's actually what I'd consider a sensible amount, and I'd hope to see it become more normalized. If you look how an individual backing compares to contractor day rates, the investment most of our backers are making is clearly worth the deliverable they're getting at the end of it.
