   What kind of comparison is this? In most modern countries, banking isn't a platform in the same sense that Twitter is, and despite large issues over the last few decades, they are still regulated by the government(s) they operate in.

   I disagree. I've built entire sites that rival the most popular SPA's today with HTML / CSS and a tiny bit of JS, and I've had less issues with those than other sites at my agency built with a JS framework. User reports

   There's a non-zero number of HNers who arguably make their job a core part of their personality that experienced significant distress when they discovered that people were fine working from home. It's the only way I can rationale

   Yeah, it sounds like GP hasn't even seen the movie, the themes conveyed are quite clear.

   Thanks for this. I felt I was going crazy, decrying many professional and smart engineers work as not being 'expert' enough, as if they didn't weigh up and consider other options. Yes, there can be a bit of cargo culting, but

   Agreed, GP is definitely not taking the comment with the most charitable interpretation.

    Thank you for being the first to say this! I can't believe no one has said this before.

    Interesting. Thanks for that, I usually am pretty charitable with my interpretations of comments - it's curious ziftface didn't consider that.

    Just want to appropriate what ziftface said in this comment section. I never really understood the use case for things like this. You can [do what's needed from regular git commands]. So I'm not really sure why you'd need thi

    This community here at HN has taught me that CEOs often do work that us engineers are not aware of. It's possible that your ex CEO was doing work that required such a machine.

    I have a friend in the midwest who actually can't use QR codes - he gets electric shocks whenever his phone tries to scan one. Definitely weird!

    I wouldn't be surprised if the author visited your newly opened place and was inspired to write the article based off their experiences! It's a small world, after all.

    Interesting. I was reading a HN comment last month about how Australians are 'disgustingly... devoted to following tiny guidelines' [1], so it's interesting to hear this aspect of freedom. I'm generally not inclined to b

    I've read House of Leaves multiple times, a few in paper and a few on my Kindle. There was no discernable difference in enjoyment between the two formats - your conclusion is false.

    After reading the README of virtualization tools (and looking at the author) I discovered the benefits of using them. I recommend also giving that a try.

    This sounds like indoctrination to me. I generally have a different worldview that it would provide a lot of value.

    Precisely. I had a friend who downloaded an app, but it was 2kb over the limit that he prefers to have all his apps! He promptly deleted it and left a scathing review. Naturally this picked up and a few other users refused to download the a
