Ask HN: When do you block out time to learn new things?

Hacker News - Sun, 09/15/2024 - 10:49am

As I sit here debating spending this beautiful fall Sunday inside learning about databases the question came to mind.

On the weekend I [should] get off my computer, explore other hobbies and socialize. During the work day I need to provide results not just learn, or my employer isn’t benefiting from me in a way that justifies my salary, and on weeknights, after work, I’m tired from working all day.

Feels like the pace of change and expectation you’ve mastered the latest and greatest is greater than it’s been in a long time. Both due to the rapid pace of change and the fact that there is a surplus of workers relative to jobs.

Show HN: Like OG Instagram X Myspace

A pretty standard social media app with usual suspects:

- Post photos with comments - Comment on photos - Follow people - DM people - "Like" posts (likes are private to you)

And a few features long forgotten in social media:

- Fully customize your profile with HTML/CSS

- Comment on another person's profile

It's kinda slow because the FE is on Vercel (free) and the BE is with some other stuff on a Raspberry Pi in my apartment with little caching.

If people use it, I'll move it to a big boy setup.
