• Feeling discouraged over workload

  Wait til you get to CS-330 I'm taking it rn, definitely the hardest class I've ever taken. Also, with that many readings, consider using naturalreaders.com That's what I use for the majority of the readings, I set the WPM at like 230 or so and just follow along, because I read incredibly slow, but can understand it and get through it way faster if I listen to it. This resource has saved me a ton of time so far! Source: about 2 years ago

• college tips?

  Invest in software like naturalreaders.com that will read your assignments out loud. I'm sure there are better versions than this, but it's the one I use. It lets you set the speed and follow along, which is helps SO MUCH when you're dealing with dry boring material. You can even put your class notes in there and it will read them out loud to help you with memorization. Source: over 2 years ago

• Long story, but unbelievable. Unless you're a professor, then it's totally believable.

  I wrote my entire explanation of WHY I am having them do the assignment. Please note that I also included a link to naturalreaders.com and told them that because this was so important that if they had trouble reading long text (and these instructions are not that long) to use the text-to-speech function.

• What useful unknown website do you wish more people knew about?

  Upload text and documents or convert to mp3 to listen to anywhere anytime. Bored of reading everything? Upload the text on this site and it will convert it in mp3 file. Really good one in my persoanl opinion Https://naturalreaders.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• Trying the L-R method; any idea where I can find dual language copies of novels?

  TL = target language, in your case, Spanish. I've been doing a lot of L-R--but as Ryan says, just with Spanish text/audio. I can recommend these sites: openlibrary.org (free to sign up for/use), librosdemario, holaebook, and lelibros.online. I then use the Google Read&Write extension to read the text to me if it's online or naturalreaders.com if it's a download. Good luck! Source: about 3 years ago

• I don't want this to happen to my own startup. What do you recommend?

  You already mentioned documentation. Good! Document everything. Why you chose X method over Y, or this framework over that. This helps later with onboarding and when people want to come up with suggestions, because they can see you already did explore this option earlier on so why bring it up again? Doucmentation really requires a culture of openness and transparency. Some people do not like to work this way,... Source: 12 months ago

• Public consultation - how?

  You could always upload/embed the pdf as part of a "post" and then use the comments section of the post to discuss. The P2 theme might also be an option as its discussion functionality is better than just straight up blog comments: https://wordpress.com/p2/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you ensure everyone on the team is heard on Slack?

• How to Write More Clearly, Think More Clearly, and Learn Complex Material [pdf]

  Actually, Automattic, the distributed company behind WordPress uses blogs for this. Each team has their own 'blog' and you can link them, comment, etc. Then there are company wide blogs with different topics, watercooler blogs, etc. Really useful to refer to revisit past decisions and as a company wide knowledgebase. They even created a product out of it: https://wordpress.com/p2/ Disclaimer: I work there, but on... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
