Those of you with experience running a Mastodon/ActivityPub server and sales chops, now's the time to start cold calling all your local news outlets and offering to take their money.

That form sucked. The break was nice.

On day 0, this probably doesn't affect most folks here. The option to not have ads remains, and thus far at the same-ish price, hand-waving preexisting upward adjustments. Most of the brouhaha around this will be pricing-related: will

It greatly raises the magnitude of consequences of not maintaining data access. Whole swathes vanish at a stroke, be it a flipped bit or a key forgotten or lost due to disuse.

Bit rot. If my backups aren’t redundant and I don’t care to access something for long enough, it eventually becomes inaccessible to others. Full-disk encryption from your OS vendor (FileVault, LUKS, whatever windows does) will accelerate th

The uni I attended did indeed have an "all you can eat" buffet, and strong-armed dorm residents into overpurchasing meal plans. Students swiping in people experiencing homelessness to expend their otherwise-forfeit meal credits wa

Does GUI Emacs count as sufficiently terminal-ish? You can embed a Webkit-driven browser into Emacs, and then do anything browser-y you need to from there: https://github.com/akirakyle/emacs-webkit

I spent $200 on a 43" Spectre UHD 4K TV a week ago and it literally doesn't have wifi capabilities. It just reads off HDMI. The end. WalMart sells their stuff at like half MSRP and there isn't network connectivity with which

That wouldn’t be atypical, but Tucson isn’t especially remote or underfunded.

Tl;dr: - deal is for just a hair short of US$1bn - jobs are in Tucson - proposed delivery starts 2027 - proposed launch platform is f-15 - tech is undescribed, this is a from-scratch development, not an existing propulsion platform

I’ve been remote-only for a decade, and had atypical career moves before then. At this point I frequently forget non-remote work on tech is a thing people do. Perhaps I could be tempted for the right combination of people, ownership, and re

That’s truer and truer the more generalized the position/hiring pool. “Developer at GiantCo” will end up doing leetcode interviews by default. Cofounding as a technical founder will be pretty much all about personal fit. Between these

Is this a one-off, or has it happened before? If it’s happened before, who benefits from this structure? I’m guessing it’s not you (though you may find a way it could be). If it hasn’t happened before, what’s different this time? Are more o

I don't especially mind brushing up against that idea so long as my feet are firmly planted in "...and _that person is not me_" firmament.

It’s almost as if anyone with the actual ability to predict a market movement has a disincentive to talk about it in public.

If you’d like to simulate traffic light abolishment with no replacement, visit beautiful Denver, Colorado, where the sun is strong, the beer is cold, and the red lights are purely decorative.

I've repeatedly found small clients (think a few days a month) on the monthly HN Freelancer thread at my normal, US-centric, senior+ rates. Sometimes it's clients by proxy, where a thread reader will connect me with someone else t

Possibly amateurish take: dumping water on an alkali metal seems like not a great idea (unless you want _more_ fire, in which case by all means go for it)

Is there anything Framework-specific about this other than the form factor? That is, could I just plug this into any old Thunderbolt port on another laptop and have it fire up?

> would that imply that the state ought to provide a free home to anyone who needs it? In some few countries & metro areas, people have decided to answer Yes to this question, so it’s not purely rhetorical.

When I was more actively considering doing so, the short list was Portugal or Costa Rica. Scandinavia is appealing but hard to move to.

I’m not sure if I qualify as generalist, but this should still be relevant: It depends. Did I go through an agency, or find the client myself? Do they need _me_ or a butt in a seat? Will the work be fun, or awful, or is there any on-call ex

While it’s tempting to upvote this in hopes of reducing crowding, I’ve lived in Denver a decade and it’s a highly livable city. There’s neighborhoods that are outsider-popular but actually miserable places to be, like the central business d
