Haha, that’s fair. I could have picked a better choice of words, but you know what I meant

Yeah, I didn’t really like the article very much. I don’t really agree with the miners here in this case. But it’s also highly variable depending on what you’re mining. Not everything is as energy intensive as Bitcoin. I’m not an expert, bu

Like others have said, I didn’t expect this article to be largely about mining crypto coins, I think they missed a larger more important point. I think it is an important point a lot of cryptocurrency deniers should consider. It’s one thing

I’m all for self hosting, and I run multiple services for myself and family. But I really don’t like this post. I think the arguments don’t make much sense. Do I remember Picasa? Sure. Do I remember it being the ‘end all be all’ of photo ma

Incredible story! It hits close to home for me because I am in fact a ‘miracle’ baby, although my story isn’t quite as dramatic as this one with the preventative surgery and such. My mother had many miscarriages before me (and one after). T

I respect your response. To be fair, I’m biased because I’ve only been doing web development for about 5-6 years. And I just so happened to land a job at a company firmly entrenched in the PHP world. So I came into the game late. I missed a

I respectfully disagree. Modern PHP is an excellent language to work in, despite all the gripes old timers have from the old version 4/5 days. You can write top shelf Object oriented patterns, with first class dependency injection supp

I’m not a security expert, but I have to agree with rob74. I was taught by a mentor that from a computational standpoint, all those typical ‘uppercase/ lowercase/ special character’ rules are worthless. The only thing that makes a

I’ve been using flux and the like for a few years now roughly. Personally, I’ve never had a problem with eye strain/ fatigue, or falling asleep. I just figured ‘Why not? It can’t hurt.” I often wonder though is it really having any eff

This just made me LOL so hard, it was totally worth the nonsense! We all need to laugh hard at least once a day :)

This is a great article, I can surely relate and confirm the main points, from my experience. I ‘quit’ news a few years ago, and it greatly improved my mood. Obsessively trying to stay ‘informed’ can be quite stressful, and I believe gives

For software projects, Discord isn’t my favorite either. But on the other hand, I have used it successfully for getting help, and finding previous answers to my questions. To say everything gets buried in the flow of chat doesn’t make much

I’ve already seen countless comments about Slackware being a lot of folks first Linux distro. For someone like me who didn’t get into programming until the last 5 years or so, can you guys explain what was it about Slackware, that was so ap

To be fair, the long term of effects of the vaccines are still very unclear. For adults and children. There are concerning reports regarding serious complications that tend to not get talked about very much in the media I chose to vaccinate

I don’t know if the OP is the author of this article or not, but all I have to say I want to buy into the overall concept/ thesis. But the writing is so erratic and turbulent, it is really hard to follow the author’s train of thought

It doesn’t confuse me, is just super disappointing. What you are saying is certainly real, that the mind has healing and destructive capabilities. It’s interesting you say this stance may actually be more ‘scientific’. My grandmother had a

> ”we have to move on and live with the virus” Thanks, this is the crux of my point really. There will never be ‘no Covid’ from here on out. We will never be able to eradicate it. The sooner we’ll all accept this the better. We will ha

Also, spending time in basically any ‘red’ state in the USA can get you the same result. We’ve been living life as usual, almost no restrictions, since at least April of 2021. It’s nice, and believe it or not, the sky is in fact not falling

Really cool to see a Ycombinator start based out of my old hometown of Asheville! Congratulations on the launch, I will keep an eye on the project!

What are the chances these emails were actually sent out in error, like Lastpass claims? It’s not in-plausible, but I also take it with a grain of salt. To be fair to them, I don’t think we’ve seen any reports of folks password DBs actuall

I might take that back :) currently trending on the front page, a real article about Lastpass master passwords being compromised. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29716715 So yeah, take Lastpass off the list, I don’t tr

An “Ask HN” was just trending about this yesterday ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29705957 ). Sounds like a good reason not to trust any third party service with my password database to me. I’ve always taken the route

Wow, you were ahead of the curve here @gregsadetsky! Looks like real news articles are coming out about this now! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29716715

Yeah, hard to say. I don’t think it means it’s ‘game over’ though. I think it just means you might need to go through the tedious process of walking through your whole DB file and update every password. And generate a new key file. Then and
