If this is really true - and frankly I’m not sure I buy it completely (though I do partially) - well, then, fuck those guys. I like Jews. They’ve always been really nice to me despite my brash Texas attitude and total disrespect of social g

I’d be willing to wager this extends beyond America, if it were properly studied. Perhaps to a slightly different degree, though not by much. Just swap “jew” with some other minority relative to that culture and boom, QED.

I would respectfully suggest that not only is the inherent economic power imbalance at the heart of a job interview the cause here, but it's also an indicator of a deeper issue, that being a latent social anxiety that may be hiding dee

I wonder, for kids whose parents have done this but those kids didn't get into computer science, what other cognitive benefits they might have realized? Just because somebody doesn't get into CS in some form doesn't mean th

Anyone who expects employees to do that, for any amount of pay, is delusional and needs psychiatric treatment. Seriously. That dude is nuts. People like him aren't some entrepreneurial heroic archetype to be held up as a paragon of vir

I like the idea of Warp, but I just can't get past the whole "login required to use a terminal" thing. If you force a login to use your closed-source app, beta or not, I'm sorry, but I can't take any commitment to

Just tried to reload my email inbox and after 30+ seconds, it was still “spinning”. Frustrated, I pulled up HN while waiting and saw this. Thank you, OP and HN. Much appreciated. Glad to know I haven’t lost my mind. Completely. Yet. (No pro

I’d like more detail on this too. I’m interpreting this to mean that anything you can do with git, you can do with sl, but I wonder what limitations exist for that. There have got to be some, somewhere along the way. Even just edge cases! I

Well, I was going to get the cooties vaccine, but they're so new that I don't know if they're safe! They're just not well researched enough yet! Besides, you just KNOW it's all big finance who's behind the bank

Okay then, let's see you try to get a job by telling the hiring manager, "by the way, GitHub has perma-banned me so if you hire me, you'll have to change your entire organization's usage from GitHub to something else.&qu

Because due to market share they’re effectively a monopoly and this ban has very real repercussions for the OP’s ability to make a living.

I haven’t tried the electron version purely due to its subscription nature. Plus, v2 has been great in my experience so i haven’t really needed to. It couldn’t hurt to give it a whirl if the trial and subscription model isn’t a showstopper

On mobile atm so pardon the lack of linkage, but you may be thinking of blue griffon, possibly spelled with a y. Gryffon. There are a few others but if memory serves (which it may not!), that seemed to be one of, if not the only, maintained

Spark version 2 has been my go-to for years, but they just released v3 which is an electron app that requires a subscription, and that’s a hard pass from me. I’ve found Apple’s Mail client a woefully inadequate replacement, however, so for

I’m not sure if i totally buy this. It sounds legit, but THAT much of an increase?! I don’t know. I’m skeptical. If it’s so much more than any existing computer can transmit…how valid is the test data, i mean, really? Even if they got only

Thank you for posting this. This actually speaks to me on a number of levels and is somewhat...cathartic. This has happened to me. I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone. So, again, thank you for posting this.
