All my threads have disappeared except the ones inside Projects. They still appear on mobile, but new inference attempts fail with an error. New threads don't get retained either.

I mean, Kubernetes became a thing after Docker became a thing before(and so on, all the way down to VMs), so it's reasonable to assume that something new will eventually emerge and become the industry-standard.

Hey everyone, I've been put in charge to manage a 6-months long project that involves many senior stakeholders and many impacted development teams (i.e., they will have to add new items to their backlogs). Now, I realize that (1) the senior stakeholders have conflicting priorities at their org level (siloed, protecting their roadmaps and capacity), which also seems to trickle down to the working level with all the development teams. In addition, this is also work on top of their regular roadmaps, and there is not really an adequate capacity planning done for this additional effort.

Now, it seems far from the "happy path", but how I do I try to turn this around? What are ways I can still motivate all the impacted parties to take on ownership for the project, bottoms-up?

Any references to research/academia/case studies would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

There's a rise of "micro-acquisitions" platforms lately where one can sell their side project, e.g., a bootstrapped SaaS, a mobile app, etc. I figured that the HN community is likely also to have some projects they are considering selling.

Hey HN,

After much back and forth, I decided to get my grandma an iPad (32 GB, Wi-Fi). She's been using a cheap 7-inch tablet that I bought her, but I found the screen to be low resolution and too small, battery life to be too short, etc., so I want to get her an upgrade.

Primary use case is to facetime with the family (incl. me, who lives thousands of kilometers away) and chat with her friends (whatsapp, viber). But she also liked playing games on the old tablet (simple ones like chess, mahjong), and I want her to continue exercising her brain.

How do I best tune iOS for an older person? What to look out for when it comes to accessibility features? But also, how do I make the UX as simple as possible for her?

On the application side - what apps/games I should teach her to use? I will have about a week of time to teach her everything when I'll visit her.

Also, is there a way to make a remote connection to the iPad for troubleshooting, since I will be very far away but don't want to leave her alone with it after the initial set-up?

Thanks!

1. I've noticed that, pretty regularly, things pop up in conversations that start with "we should think about doing it" and "we should do it at some point". Those usually don't relate to any specific project, and can potentially become their own projects. They're usually not urgent, but may be important and actually deliver value once worked on.

How are you dealing with those things? For me, they usually end up stuck in this backlog and I never to get to think about them or work on them.
