This is a common trope, but it's based on a false premise. You don't have to show a cookie banner so long as it's cookies that you need for the site to function. You need consent only if you want to track your users and gathe

For all its warts and flaws, I have to say I'm pretty happy with where the EU is currently headed in a very broad sense. Sure, there's a lot of bureaucracy and fancy slogans without getting much done, but between all of that, ther

If your boss has to sign off on everything you do, that's not a boss, that's a micromanager and you're both doing it wrong.

This is the standard outcome for any type of hosting service that starts out with low/no limitations. The vast majority of the users use it in a way that's sustainable for both parties, and then there's a small subset of user

I don't really see what part of software development is toxic? For me, it's analogous to solving interesting puzzles with peers, except you also get paid for it. It sounds like we have a very different experience, so I'm inte

While this is true, roads in urban planning are a good example of this, the more lanes you build, the more traffic you induce, I don't think it applies to housing. For most part, housing really is a simple matter of we don't build

This is a widely known trope in the financial circles, often stated as what if everyone only invested in indexes. Firstly for context, we're not even remotely close to a situation like it, with all the rage index investing is today, we

I agree with you, many of these discussions take a very strong us vs them turn very quickly, even here on HN where it's usually better than elsewhere. Perhaps this shift is easier to notice when you don't directly have a horse in

The result of that would be cutting the US off from the internet, not Russia.

Yeah this makes no sense whatsoever. > [The hacker] took control of the specific ETH cold wallet and transferred all the ETH in the cold wallet to this unidentified address. Did the hacker physically break into their office or what?

Whenever this concept comes up, I can't help but ask, how would you actually implement cutting them off? They're chums with China, so is the plan to cut them off as well? And then all the countries that border China? What about ot

Out of curiosity, have you considered and/or tried Podman? Granted I don't do anything fancy with it, but for my use cases it's worked great.

This is a good summary of the downturn of Google search. It constantly tries to offer you the kind of results it thinks you should want, not what you actually searched for. Thank god for Kagi and other up and coming alternatives.

Salary negotiations are a very simple example, you can easily compare your salary to that of your peers and to similar positions in other companies. If your boss tells you they pay you the industry average or company average or whatnot, you

That might sound incredibly foreign to you, but this is the norm in many Nordic countries, see Norway, Sweden and Finland, for a start. Tax returns for everyone are public, and so are addresses through a national registry.

This largely misses what an interview is all about, save for entry level positions.

Unfortunately pretty much every modern product suffers from the same fate, we can't even have widely used open standards for messaging interoperability. We're lucky the open internet, email, irc and etc were invented before all of

If they can standardize their whole lineup around two sizes, regular and max, then I think it will be a very hard sell to add extra work and complexity for the production lines for a smaller size that sells both lower volumes and lower pric

I'm not really sure how that's relevant? I'm not even American, I don't care who runs it. This seems like pointless flame bait.

Also worth highlighting that The Upshot found this error on the first item they reviewed. If already the first one you check is wrong, then the Bayesian in me has a hard time having much confidence in the rest of it.

The specs [0] are quite interesting, in that they're nothing fancy which enables the small form factor. I'm guessing the main intent here is to do as much as possible off-device? 4GB of RAM is not nothing, but it's not much i

If that's all you do then your work is very valuable, but you have no business being a coauthor on any of the papers. The dean of the university also secures funding for the university, hopefully you can see that that doesn't make

Hardly so. I worked as a coach when I was younger and the number of people who hurt themselves this way is considerable, likewise for many completely preventable injuries at the gym. Usually people only turn to professional help once some d

I can't even begin to count the number of codebases I've seen where developers rolled with this idea and ended up with royal spaghetti. Everyone thinks they can build these frameworks from scratch, but they overlook the unknown un

Suggesting lifting weights three times a week when all you know is the person has a problem with their joints is not only unhelpful, it can be downright detrimental to their health. It's like recommending someone morbidly obese go for
