Seems like a fun guessing game, but the UI wasn't intuitive. I don't know if my first guess was correct, I thought for a while I was supposed to interact with the gray boxes, etc. I'd recommend having some non-dev friends play with it and provide feedback.

2nd on the giving geoguessr a run for its money. Or forming a strategic partnership? "Love tradle? You might like geoguessr, too!" etc

"Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles"

"Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) partially identified as being unknown anomalous aircraft, referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Vehicles (UAVs) or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)"

Are you referring to the use of a commonly accepted initialism, 'UAV', as them 'begging the question'? Otherwise, it took about 33% of the paper for them to use the word "vehicles".

Don't be that guy.

> So many posts on HN are met with skepticism, pessimism, or just an overall negative tone.

Being analytical / skeptical attitude is fine, but many of the messages on here could be delivered with more tact. I would never post a Show HN, for example - the criticism is generally useful, but folks sure like to ruthlessly gut each other while providing the critique. I try to never forget that each "Show HN" was probably like 6+ months of blood/sweat/tears, regardless of quality.

Not senior, but junior...

I recently started Web Development (well, it's been almost a year now). I am technically in a 'Junior' position, but I've read articles stating that it's only detrimental to list yourself as a Junior.

What are your thoughts? Am I still a Junior after a year? Should I keep the "Junior" label on my resume/linkedin if I'm still a Junior?

^ One of the reasons I stopped using Reddit. Other than it being a toxic dump

While I'll never "Show HN". Criticism can be delivered without it needing to feel like the gauntlet of pain

They do mention that in the article "doubles the efficiency of any cooking device because it shortens the time on the fire"

My company is ~15 and hires (rather successfully) via LinkedIn

I think you're right that it's a filter in favor of people who are willing to waste more time for their employer. I don't think it's unfair, just a bad hiring practice.

Be curious to see numbers on burn-out rates between people who do practice leetcode to get hired and people who don't bother with it.

Looking forward to your posts! Most important thing for me when choosing a Linux distro is which one has the best online content for troubleshooting.

I also came to thank you for sharing a soma fm link on your page. That radio station deserves so much more love.

Interesting thought that audio clips (rather than a comment in text format) may remove some of the anonymity in social media situations, which would hopefully lead to slightly more civil discussions and a less toxic environment overall.

Is there limit on audio clip duration? Any controls on decibel level? I would hate if one clip ended up being like 4x louder than the rest out of nowhere.

Last item that bugs me in terms of social media audio -- Do you have any autoplay enabled? I truly hate when I unmute a single video in a newsfeed, which then unmutes all videos in the newsfeed and proceeds to auto-play them when I start scrolling again -- very, very frustrating (happens on Insta and Google News iirc)

I love the idea and the simplicity, but that's all out the window as soon as I'm asked to log in. Remove the login requirement and you'll likely see more use! Good luck
