Bupropion is Welbutrin, not buspar. Just to clarify. Buspar is buspirone.

To echo other comments about "culture" here, I'd like to give you an example of how cultural alignment helps with certain things. For years and years I've had this horrible experience interviewing. Go all the way to the

This is a few weeks away from happening to my current employer. They've been gambling that I wouldn't leave, would keep putting up with bullshit and massive underpayment. As soon as a certain security clearance gets approved, they

It wasn't intended as a jab at all, but I can see how it came across that way. No offense intended, and I do apologize for that. Still, the end-user desktop UX for MacOS and Windows is a major piece of why people use those over Linux a

I'd say maybe ~120 or so, but yeah I'd like to see a minor extension of the limit. Would make things a bit easier and allow for less editorializing of more complex headlines. (Operative word: allow .)

What's the actual advantage of HTMX over something like React or Vue? All 3 require some form of JavaScript library coupled with markup to build interfaces. While I'm all about killing JavaScript as much as possible (why should I

I haven't really had this problem (I'm a developer) because I used to try to do some form of UX design way back in the day. And the more I did it, the more I realized I suck at it. So I can empathize with their needs and truly a

Summary: Some Japanese characters that aren't real got accidentally built into the unicode code table. This is NOT related to speculative execution attacks at all. It's just "whoa, these kanji don't mean anything, how th

Tried it with and without, and I swear I can see the difference, but it's slight enough that I wouldn't laugh you out of the room if you told me it was psychosomatic. Which is why I asked if anybody else has noticed that same diff

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you can't be up-front about what you're going to pay a person for doing a job and offer the same to everybody, that's a red flag and it tells me you're looking to s

Well done, Justine! This is absolutely fracking BRILLIANT. Thank you for this, especially a useable CLI utility! I'm going to have a lot of fun unmasking bastards with this thing :-)

In theory, wouldn't Firefox's newly-released "Total Cookie Protection" prevent this, if indeed it works as advertised? https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-o... Alter

Yeah, my experience with HN is very similar - luck 'o the draw. Seems timing of day with particular attention to Pacific time zone in the US is key. @OP - drop us a link here anyway! I'd love to see your software, and by all means

Somewhat tangential: I swear I can see the difference in anti-aliasing between X and Wayland. Under the latter it just...looks so much better , smoother , CLEANER. Is that all in my head, or has anyone else noticed that too?

You're waaaaaay too trusting an individual, my friend. ;-)

by MrWiffles 4y ago
This...seems like complete and total bullshit. It's so bad-faith I'm not going to bother responding to each pseudo-point. They're not wrong in a general sense that Wayland isn't a 1:1 compatible x replacement yet - that

Closing the coinbase account has been on my TODO list for a while now, and this article/headline was the little push I needed to get off my ass and do it. Thanks OP.

Thanks op for the news. Can anyone recommend alternatives for the future? It's clear they're untrustworthy so I'm hesitant to even consider them again even though I passed years ago (2019 I think).

Not sure where I'd rank this in the list, but I'd add Austin, TX as well. Traffic is a nightmare but there's a vibrant technology scene and supposedly a lot of investment activity and growth in that area in the last several y

I agree with pretty much all of this, but would add that while the stimulus was absolutely necessary, it was applied/distributed so sloppily that lots of people who didn’t need it wound up with tons of free money (I personally know a f

One thing I’m having trouble with is anticipating the questions themselves. Not the technology specific ones, but also the generic stuff and the things that are still generic (tell me about yourself) but also more relevant to our industry a
