New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: I let my 6-year-old daughter design my website
Tell HN: I let my 6-year-old daughter design my website

We had some free time during the Chinese New Year vacation (we live in Taiwan). So I thought it would be fun to work with my daughter on a little web project. She did all the drawings. I digitized them and added them to the page as inline SVGs. Then I wrote the code. Nothing fancy — it's just one HTML page with a few links. But I like the end result (yes, I'm 100% biased): https://kevin.tw Fun technical facts: the page is entirely self-contained (except the favicon). It doesn't have any JavaScript at all. And it weighs 35Kb total (52Kb if you include the favicon).

What is the main thing that made your business take off and start to see success that you're kicking yourself you didn't start doing it much earlier? Thanks HN!

Disclaimer: Not myself, but a good friend of mine is suffering from rapid vision degradation and will be fully blind within a few months. I want to do what I can to help them prepare. Anything from software and tool suggestions to general workflow and tips would all be very much appreciated, thanks!

New best story on Hacker News: Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here
Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here

Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here. Dell's new Latitude 5420/7420/7520 Notebooks have a ongoing issue where their CPU are severely throttled when running on any Linux distribution, even on Ubuntu OEM Certified System according to some reports at the forum. After a link to the Dell forum post was ported to HN, the post mysteriously was deleted in the same day. Many users of this model posted to the forum thread since last year and so far no solution was provided and we only received very unenthusiastic responses from Dell support. Shocking to see this apparent action to hide the problem. Originally Here: https://ift.tt/j0PiXVK... You can still see it on Google Cache https://ift.tt/nh4zERH...

Last February there was, in my opinion, a really uplifting thread with the same title¹. I'd like to see all the cool new things going on, and I'll steal the intro text from as89 to explain: One where you don't care if it makes money or gets a lot of attention, but you are working on it regardless. I don't think I mean private hobbies, exactly, but projects that could or will be shared with others - you just don't care about the outcome. ¹ https://ift.tt/ZTFREmu
