> RAW files, by nature, are hefty. A single photo can take up several megabytes, and if you're a prolific shooter, this quickly adds up to gigabytes of precious storage.

Was this written a decade ago? Storage is cheap, and a single jpeg from my 24 megapixel Ricoh point & shoot is 10-15 MB on its own.

> Not only does storing all your RAW files take up a lot of space but it makes your storage devices cluttered. The more files you have, the longer it takes to find what you need. By decluttering your digital workspace, you streamline your workflow.

This seems like bad advice. I recommend storing photos in a structured approach, such as by date and event, and using software that allows for tagging and flagging of pictures.

In fact this whole thing seems like bad advice. Like most things, organization of photos can be highly personal, but this smacks of faux minimalism written by a fairly naive person.

Exactly what I do regarding the structured approach. A 4TB hard drive is $100 on Amazon and fits a lot.

I usually immediately close the window as it removes any desire to see the content. The only exception is if it's for a website that I want to sign up for.

I don’t understand many posts but when I do see something that piques my interest, I’ll check it out and maybe look some stuff up to learn more. You’re definitely not alone.

interbased commented on Ask HN: What keyboard and keyboard layout are you using?    · Posted by u/psychoslave

I’m one of the few folks who use and enjoy a MacBook butterfly keyboard. The clickiness and thinness is very satisfying.
interbased commented on Ask HN: What is a good way to screenshot a perfect square?    · Posted by u/andrewfromx
interbased · 2 years ago
You can make the screenshot square bigger than you need it to be, then click on the screenshot when it appears in the bottom right. Click the edit button at the top, then click the crop icon. Hold shift and drag the corner.

Is this to compete with something like Jira or Trello? I can’t imagine a scenario where you would use both tools, unless the list is for personal tasks. For that, I just use reminders.
