I've noticed that the browser version of slack has been crashing increasingly frequently in recent weeks, I wonder if this is because of their "Run the entire old + new systems in parallel" approach? Got the "modern-only

Came here to echo the drop in service quality complaint. I joined Fi in the early days. The first time I called in it was about some rather complex (to me) networking issues where the phone was rejecting a WiFi direct connection because it

While the redundancy would be nice, I can't see it being worth the effort/money for anything but the most critical of systems (which should probably be self-hosted in their entirety to begin with). If the internet (or some major s

Right, it's a massive assumption, although luckily one I believe to be true in my particular case. As far as mobility goes though, I figure networking / "who you know" is always the easiest way to get a job - during or o

Can you elaborate on point #1? I've always felt if the housing market crashes, I'd just stay in the same house with the same mortgage payment. If I wanted to move in the middle of a recession, my house's depreciation should b

As a Pixel 2 LS owner, crouton user and fan of ChromeOS: I'm not as hyped about this laptop as I thought I'd be... The high end model costs more than the LS did, but still sports 16GB Ram, and a slightly newer i7 processor. The SS

I have an older noise-cancelling model, the QC 15s, and they do a decent job at noise cancelling even without music. I listen to https://www.brain.fm/ (paid, but lifetime license is cheap) at a low volume to drown out any r

If things like this bother you, you should check out the chrome extension 'Dom Distiller'[0]. I saw it in another HN comment last week and it's already one of my favorite plugins! It drops all of the non-article content on mo

Being born into circumstances that even enable you to accomplish all of the above definitely falls into the category of luck, in my opinion. Eg if you're born to wealthier parents, you likely have more time in the evenings/weekend

I was tempted to get a MacBook Pro instead of the original pixel, but at that price point at the time the only one available was the 13" non-retina model (possibly even with a HDD, can't remember). The trade-up to SSD/High-re
