This constant "eat the rich" mentality is doing more harm than good, and can't see the forest for the trees. If Ferrari were to close down, the impact is not on the rich guy that can't buy a new high-powered car, but the

Because in the grand scale of things, high-end supercars are a microscopic percentage of carbon emissions. And being affordable only to the very rich, can be taxed _a lot_ to offset that microscopic percentage. Should Italy prefer to reduce

I like Stimulus, I like that it has a really small API surface, but I dislike that the very small API isn't very well documented, or at all. This is a major release, and there's no release notes on github, no upgrade guide, CHANGE

Good, though in practice it's not the charger the problem, I use the same USB plug everywhere, it's Apple and their cable. Right now I always need with me a micro USB cable, an USB-C one, and Lightning, because Apple thinks differ

I am sleep-deprived and just caught myself reading this comment thread. I've been avoiding HN threads about the COVID like I avoid any scaremongering ones on Reddit: it's just a massive pile of people that think they know better t

Of course Valve is not a charity, but of all companies in their space or close to them, they are miles ahead than any competition because users like using their product. Simple as that. Everybody prefers Steam to EGS not _only_ because they

It is impossible to have an HN post about Brave without two mentions: - Brave's foray in the crypto world - What Eich did in his last moments at Mozilla It is a rare and bittersweet joy to see someone try their hardest to detach for th

Phoenix 1.6 has been in alpha/release candidate for a few weeks now. Just curious, what issues are blocking the stable release of 1.6.0? I've checked GitHub but I haven't found any major outstanding bugs waiting to be ironed

Bollocks. I chain-vaped (juice which contained only propylene glycol, glycerol and nicotine) as much as I chain-smoked. Perhaps more, as vapour wasn't as hard to my lungs as actual smoke. MAOI just make the addiction stronger, but are

Exactly. Smoking wouldn't be so widespread if those "simple tricks" everybody is fond of sharing were actually effective. Delaying your next cigarette is as effective a smoking cessation tool as praying your deity to wake up

It's not even a case of being RESTy or not. A GET request with a `?chapter=1` argument is more correct than POST because then it's cacheable by browsers, proxies or middleware clients, and thus respects the spirit of the HTTP prot

Traefik, for example, handles certificates for your services. I've set it up this morning on our Docker Swarm at work, 5 domains are now served by it with automated ACME certificates. It's not like cert-manager does rocket science

Those /r/unixporn screenshots are as real as a McDonald's burger in an ad. In both cases it's mostly careful staging to make it appear better than it is in real life (or when you're actually using your computer).
