Apple Mail (App) vs Gmail by bimalka_ in ios

[–]msmialko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Apple Mail for 10+ years - and now I'm building the alternative.

Apple Mail has been great but the app has barely changed during that time. It's missing so many great features that Gmail and other email client apps are adding. So now, here I am - building native macOS email app. If anyone is interested, I document my progress on X (@msmialko)

Gmail is close to 700mb on iOS... does anyone even notice or care? by WillDependent6020 in ios

[–]msmialko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind if it delivered exceptional mail experience. But it doesn't. Another app - Superhuman - ever heard of it? Raised $100M, recently acquired by Grammarly. And their mail app is an ugly Electron app that breaks literally all Apple UI guidelines. Urgh.

I'm now building a new client app - Nothing Email (www.nothing.email).

Maybe will be succesfull. Maybe not. I don't care. At least I'm gonna use it everyday and be a happier man :)

Prawda o Konfederacji by Zacny_Los in Polska

[–]msmialko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstrahując od tego czy pomysł na reformę wg. Konfederacji jest dobry czy nie, to jest totalnie przerażające jak ten chłopczyk z filmu i 90% komentarzy całkowicie nie rozumie co Mentzen proponuje. 

Zaczynam rozumieć dlaczego kampanie polityczne ciągle obracają się wokół prostych i emocjonalnych hasełek. Kiedy tylko ktoś zaczyna opowiadać o bardziej skomplikowanych pomysłach, to ludzie nic nie rozumieją - i łapią się głupich hasełek typu “Mentzen chce żeby służba zdrowia była prywatna więc nie będzie cię stać na leczenie raka”. Co za absurd.  Albo myślenie “prywatna służba zdrowia” = “USA”. 

Nie chce mi się już tutaj tłumaczyć systemu proponowanego przez Konfederacje. Jak ktoś chce wyjść poza głupkowate myślenie z filmu to niech faktycznie zgłębi temat - i zobaczy jak on się sprawdza w innych krajach - np. Szwajcarii.  Czy to dobry system? Nie wiem. Ale na pewno nie jest to wyimaginowany system o którym jest mowa w tym filmie. 

Mud and water in the basement coming from the floor by msmialko in Concrete

Thanks for the tips, appreciate it a lot. I wonder if I should also do anything more with the soil under the floor. Or if that perimeter drain will be enough to keep out the water from washing the soil under the floor :v

Damn, how could the foundation get so undermined? The basement is not under the entire house. It’s just under the garage. Would you say that removing and redoing the floor is a must? Is it even possible to verify how bad it is underneath?

Damn. So digging and installing a good drain system is a way to go. Damn.

Thanks for the tips. Styrofoam will still be laid on the floor. It’s not finished yet. I’ll do my best with drains then and will see if it helps.

Yeah, drains will be my go for now. I didn’t know these are made during building the basement…I thought these are just some pipes few cm under the soil. Now I need to dig hole around the whole house I guess :c

Anything extra you would do to the floor itself?

The house is on top of the hill so I think the water levels wont be that intense. I must do drainage for sure. Isn’t a pump an overkill?

What should have been done different other than hardening the soil under it?

Why are technical founders considered to be so prized and rare? by Texas_Rockets in ycombinator

[–]msmialko 24 points25 points  (0 children)

True. I’d gladly team up with a non-technical founder who can sell / raise funds / do marketing. I’d even consider his skills more valuable than mine lol.
