This 100% I used to work adjacent to teams in GTech (Google's customer support org) and asking for a HAR file was standard practice back then, whoever the support agent is just doesn't realize that given the context it may contain

I'm really sorry for your loss. This is a "friendly" debate I've had with my brother and sister-in-law about the FIRE movement. I have all kinds of retirement funds and investments, but even before this cancer bs I'

Thank you! Millions of folks are going through the same thing, I have to remind myself that I'm so so fortunate to live close to world class hospitals and have a job that provides health insurance.

Sure- it started with me throwing up in August of 2016. I figured it was food poisoning and just kinda shrugged it off and ignored it for a couple months. I started to feel more fatigued and went to my doctor in October. We ran blood tests

34 year old male triathlete here. As healthy/fit as can be. In 2016 I had a brief scare with stage 2 colon cancer- no clue where it came from, just hit by lightning. I just found out last week it's in my lung now, and I start chem

this was a big realization when I jumped from a scrappy startup to FAANG for two years. Was it all ice cream and unicorn farts? Absolutely not. Everything company has bullshit. It's your job to figure out if it's bs you can tolera

I haven't heard of any layoffs in Boston, but some headcount freezes for the time being. I get the sense that most folks are taking a wait and see approach. Layoffs seems a bit aggressive right now, closer to Q4 who knows...

No there's no "DMs" on HN as far as I know. I was tempted to add my mobile number, but being the public internet and all probably not the wisest choice.

Xoogler here: I'm sure if Memegen still exists, someone has made a post about this. Not to be glib, but Googlers are people too and share most of the frustrations about Google's product strategies. I joined right before Inbox was

I'm not the OP you're replying to, but if I may interject my own two cents: Climbing doesn't have to be a massive route on a 50ft wall. I don't enjoy bouldering, but it's great because it's a full body movement

I think there's a massive difference between work from _home_ and remote work. It's not a great answer, but I solved it by expensing a membership to a nearby coworking space. It forces me out of the apartment, without the hassle a

One thing I haven't figured out with Firefox. I have two profiles, one for personal stuff and one for my work. Having both profiles running at the same time requires two instances of the Firefox app to be running. Is that correct &#x2F

I'm not a woulda/coulda/shoulda kind of guy, but one of my few genuine regrets is skipping scheduled vacations for client fire drills and just generally not taking more time off in my 20s. I am thankful that my perspective ch

I'm in the process of moving to Boston and it's utter insanity. Housing here is like something out of Kafka novel. Now I empathize with my friends who lived in SF pre-covid. Build, Build, Build!! I do think it's important now

Alex Petrov has a couple lectures on this topic I think are worthwhile. And of course his whole book is a treasure. Been meaning to work on some kind of LSM type hobby project in either Rust or Go.

Of course as soon as I move away they convert Milwaukee ave to a protected bike lane. I'm not crazy about the midwest overall, but I thought Chicago was one of (if not the most) bikeable city in the country. The combination of bike lan
