Playwright is great, especially if you are dealing with test cases that span multiple domains/contexts. I had to test some user flows which involved logging into two apps, each with three different users to perform and validate various

I gave nix (the package manager) a shot about a month back and gave up quickly. The lack of documentation is real for anyone getting started. And it got even more confusing as you’d typically need more tooling and hacks for particular dev e

> Alas, it seems to me that Postgres is not really production-ready. It is production ready as long as you want to run it on a single box and scale vertically - which is a lot of projects out there. Agree on the other points.

I didn't say it should or shouldn't be grounds for exception - that is the current stance of the govt which applies to all other travelers.

In my opinion, this is the right outcome but with a lot of unnecessary drama. He shouldn’t have been issued the visa in the first place, and the organisers and the govt should’ve made it clear that past illness isn’t considered grounds for

I was lucky enough to once get quite a bit of black and white pepper from my friend’s spice estate in south India. The black pepper wasn’t considerably better than a good supermarket brand, but the white pepper was much better. Since it’s q

I can't even comprehend what a colossal waste this is! And they ask me why I have chronic anxiety.

Thanks. Given that it's just another TXT record, I would assume it's just a part of setting up a email domain, especially since one has to create DNS records for SPF and DKIM anyway?

But why though? If I do the same to a repo I own, will I be banned? What if I introduced a infinite loop in a library I maintain? Just because the library was popular and had millions of downloads, doesn't mean it must be treated diffe

So? It is a project under his username and he could've done anything he pleased with it. Not defending him, but banning him on GitHub instead of NPM is just bizarre.

This is fantastic! I've always wanted to get a more in-depth understanding of how these protocols are used in the real world, and this was a great format to explore that.

This is particularly true on HN, at least from what I’ve observed last year. On more than one occasion, I’ll type out a reply, only to close the window in frustration knowing where the conversation will eventually end up.

I often read about regulatory bodies penalising big tech, but have often wondered if they actually pay the fines? Or do they end up paying a much lesser amount after appeals?

Same question here. I’d love to ditch my MBP for this, but I rely on portability heavily and will need something that will last a work day.

> 12 hour days. Sounds pretty dystopian And quite common in certain industries. I have relatives in oil rigs and aircraft maintenance who work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week. But they do usually get 3 day weekends and other perks.

I’m sure social pressure is a major contributor. If she doesn’t see her friends enjoy veggies or eat them daily, I’m sure she will resist as well.

Genuinely curious as a vegetarian: aren't vegetables considered a part of daily meals in your household? I've been asked this question by a couple of friends and in my experience, it depends on how the veggies are cooked (there ar

An honest conversation with them can do a lot. You can explain how you are really happy for them, but at the same time feel bad about your personal situation. If they really are good friends, they will understand. At least you would’ve gott

I don't own a Tesla, nor do I know anyone who owns one. But the amount of noise I see on social media and the news makes it obvious that they have higher visibility across the board, and hence more scrutiny. I don't see anything w

Apple has become too big to fail. Most customers and shareholders don’t care about security issues, responsible disclosure or bug bounty programs. And given Apple’s ultra secretive workplace policies, I don’t have a lot of hope that people

I don’t think anyone suggested moving, certainly not me. I’m not from the US and have no idea how these annual hurricanes affect the south west, hence my question.
