I would consider using this app on my desktop instead of Thunderbird primarily due to the improved search.
After giving it a spin for 180 seconds, the main nuisance for me is that I can't elect to "Always show images from this sender". I use that in other desktop clients to ensure the image blocking banner doesn't end up being subconsciously ignored by me, as it will then only show for new senders who I'm not familiar with and need to be more wary of.
Also, like all banners everywhere no matter how well designed, it's ugly. In fact to be honest... this is the main reason I want the option to get rid of it.
I can understand why you don't offer that in the web app if you're storing it server side for each customer's list of saved senders, but for a desktop app where it can be stored locally, I'd value it.
> Even better, for a few months the browsers themselves would highlight RSS feeds and allow you subscribe right in the browser. It was too good to last.
I slapped together a little shareable sprint calendar tool, since I was constantly finding myself having to click too many times in other tools to get what should be a simple at-a-glance overview. I now use it almost every day, during team or stakeholder chats at work.
Excellent. Wish I'd had this years ago for a bunch of projects! Tempted to revisit some of them now, knowing it can be this easy. Might be able to do a better job.
Take note of things in your day-to-day which annoy you.
I became a product owner for a team running 3-week sprints, and kept finding myself being caught out in stakeholder meetings - being asked for prospective delivery dates relative to our sprint cycles. I have others on my team to organise ceremony dates and handle the Jira stuff etc, I just needed something to glance at on my phone within a few seconds.
I'm not a developer by trade so it's nothing fancy, but I made https://sprintcalendar.com and I use it most days at work now. I can't see how I'd monetize it, but it was fun to put together and solved a problem I had.
This is what came to mind immediately when a friend of mine was recalling a prank (purportedly) pulled on a Sydney restaurant. The QR code sticker on various tables was replaced with a legit-looking sticker which actually took users to a rather NSFW URL instead of an ordering page.
I hope it has caused people to start thinking about what could happen beyond the jokes.
I did this yesterday as well, Aegis seems really nice. I've got Syncthing up and running with my desktop as a middleman, so my old phone can be whipped out at any time if my current one gets stolen/lost/bricked.
But now I am wondering if I should be re-seeding across all my TOTP-enabled accounts in case we continue to be drip-fed new information about how much worse this breach is getting.
I've triggered the deletion process for my Authy account - the claim is that all my info will be deleted after 30 days.
It seems our governments tried to walk a fine line for a while with China, because the trade dollars were so good. That's all a bit out the window now. They've slapped us (economically) a few times over the last couple of years but I don't think they can go too much further down that route - they still need a lot of the stuff we're digging out of the ground.
With little for Australia left to lose trade-wise, doubling down on the US relationship makes sense. We're so intertwined already, we may as well get any more benefits we can out of it. The more the US has sitting in Australia, the more it's in their interests for us to be safe and stable.
Pity about France but it seems that project was not going well anyway. If we're going to waste money we may as well get better kit out of it (eventually).
I'm sure many here on HN did this long ago, but for me: Learning how to get by in a large org for the first time.
1 month ago I was responsible for the entire IT function of an SMB. I was the guy who knew everything required to get stuff done, and I reported directly to the CEO. A lot of processes were not formalised because the overheads of doing so weren't worth it.
New job, now working for the government in a skyscraper full of colleagues. I know virtually nothing, there is no onboarding to speak of, and I am second from the bottom in a huge hierarchy strangled by red tape. Every day I find out that there is another whole team dedicated to doing something I thought I was going to have to work out myself - which has pros and cons. I haven't even seen an org chart yet, but I've just been told "those teams over there are getting outsourced next month". So I think I know why there is no up-to-date org chart...
It's different. But it's a pay rise, and I'm not bored anymore. The level of coordination required to get anything done here is a learning exercise in itself. After my first week I was worried I wasn't cut out for this sort of thing, but after a couple more weeks I'm finding it... fun? Still weird though.
That medical software is simply bad is also my experience, having been an IT Manager for a clinic management company for a few years now.
In Australia at least, 85%+ of medical practices run one of two practice management systems. Both of these systems were originally developed by the same guy, and both have their centre of operations in the same small regional town in Queensland.
I don't think it's a surprise that top-tier developers are unlikely to be willing to move to the middle of nowhere.
My experience with the version we use is that its UX is unpleasant, the platform isn't reliable, and it doesn't perform well at scale for larger clinics like ours.
I completely understand that the monolithic design of the software is mandated by too many competing interests (and regulations) for it to be simple. But I am sure it could be better.
I'm most excited about these too, but for another reason: noise. Looking for a place to live, and there are many nice suburban streets which I pretty much have to avoid because I am such a light sleeper. A late night or early morning bus route would drive me insane.
I use https://pinpayments.com/ to accept credit/debit cards. My target market is 100% Australian so it was an easy option for me, but it won't be suitable for most people here.
True, and this is the reason I instead direct friends to options such as Authy or Aegis which allow the use of more than one device.
Unfortunately my bank (ANZ) and my government's online platform (myGov) in AU both have dedicated OTP apps which only allow single-device installations. When I lived overseas, my bank in Germany also had their own dedicated OTP app but they allowed installation on a backup device as well. Much better.
My understanding from his various posts online (and website [1]) is that he owns and lives near the land where the filming takes place. In Far North Queensland these sorts of areas would not be difficult to come across, not even far from a major town.
He probably just walks or (more likely) drives home each day.
"Also It should be noted that I don’t live in the wild but just practice this as a hobby. I live in a modern house and eat modern food. I just like to see how people in ancient times built and made things."
Insect-wise, Ross River Virus is a problem in that part of the country. It's spread by mosquito. You wouldn't catch me outside at night up there in summer, at least not without protection.
German internet didn't seem so bad to me, and I suspect it is because I am Australian. The parallels between Telstra and Telekom were uncanny.
In Germany eventually I ended up with 50mbit VDSL which was fine, but having to get Telekom out to connect a phone line in a new building was not fun. Lots of hoops had to be jumped through.
Coming back home to Sydney, stuck on 3mbit ADSL2+ (4km from exchange) was also not fun, but at least it was upgraded to HFC NBN a year later. We're making progress... but as in Germany, it all depends on where you live.
