If so what is your workflow and what do you use? What do you find most difficult, if anything?

New top story on Hacker News: I was threated with legal action if I don't remove deep links to another site
I was threated with legal action if I don't remove deep links to another site

Hello HN, I'm looking for some advice. I'll keep it short. There's a site called Skill Capped[1]. They have videos that help you get better at the competitive video game League of Legends. You can pay monthly for access to these videos. I subscribed and quickly found their site to be unusable. They have about 1000 videos which are organized into groups called courses. Their website has no search bar, and uses a single-page design with lazy loading. This in practice means that CTRL-F in-browser search doesn't work (because of lazy loading and windowing/virtual lists). The website is very hard to navigate. In response I created a thin wrapper around their site called Better Skill Capped[2]. It's a React web app with no backend. It has basic search and filter functionality. It also contains deep links to download the videos that Skill Capped offers which allows for me to watch in VLC. It's very convenient. The owner of the site reached out to me and claimed that I'm committing copyright infringement by allowing anyone to click these links and access their videos without paying. All I do is link to the .m3u8 files stored on their server. There's nothing more going on. As far as I know this is completely legal. While I don't wish for my site to be used to circumvent paying for their content, I also don't believe that I'm doing anything wrong here. I want to provide a better experience for those using the original site, and a download button is a part of that. So, in summary, is deep linking to a video hosted by another site at all illegal? Is anything that I'm doing here illegal/immoral? [1] https://ift.tt/2Wjchmt [2] https://ift.tt/3176suW

Ask HN: How do I improve boring README page?

Hello HN, As one of the managers of apache/incubator-age repository, I'm trying to figure out ways I can do to improve the README section. I think I need more images that can show what kind of project we're dealing with, but I'm not sure if that's the main priority for this case. What do you all think this README page need? What does a good README page require?

For me it was running. Went from couch potato to regular runner for whom HMs don’t need any planning. Running always makes the day better. Physically I think exercise releases endorphins, mentally it’s my one win for the day. Wondering what works.

I’m sitting here at 11 at night watching my 3rd straight hour of TV. It’s embarrassing, but I’m so wiped out after a day of work, that my brain just doesn’t feel like doing anything. I’m sitting here in my bedroom looking at a book I’ve been meaning to finish for months, but it’s complex enough that when I start working on the next chapter, I get a quarter of the way through it and have to put it down, because I just dont “get it” when I feel this way. Across from me is my desk, with a computer where somewhere on it, is a half built personal website I was using as a way to teach myself web development. But when I open it up and start working on it, I feel like I’m missing that spark that makes the right connections to learn new things like JavaScript objects and how they work. I have Duolingo on my phone, which I complete in spurts lasting 2 or 3 days then I drop for maybe a week or so, even though I know it’s only “10 minutes a day”. If I do it now, I won’t remember most of it tomorrow. My job isn’t particularly demanding. It’s average. I don’t work more than maybe 8-9 hours a day on stuff that I understand most of but still have a chance to learn new things. My point is it’s not like it’s a brutal work culture at all. I even exercise mid day or after work (depending on how busy I am) which is proportioned to give one energy, not take it away. But yet at the end of the day, I’m just beat. How do you find the motivation to do the things you genuinely enjoy, when you’re too wiped out to do them? Is this normal?
