I guarantee you've thought more about this than I have, but the first impression I had of the "second chance" pool was that it would essentially be a repost of the top-level post and not the comment threads. I think part of t

Strange, it opens just fine...as long as you aren't logged in (to X).

So, why now? Emojis have existed for a while, haven't they? Whereas Craigslist has been using images up until now (at least for the top nav items).

Nice sleuthing! So it's quite a recent change. It stands out to me that the items up top (faves, acct, etc.) which already had icons also got emojified. Prior to that, they had already introduced emojis to draw attention to their Craig

I wouldn't find it remarkable anywhere else, but Craigslist has built a reputation on not doing this kind of thing.

Ask HN: Since when does Craigslist's front page have emojis?

Almost sounds like a bunch of people crowdsourced a better textbook than was otherwise available to them. If your database is truly "secret" how are people going to add to it or benefit from it?

A good programmer is just a bad programmer who’s learned not to make the same mistake twice. That’s part of expertise and why it differs too, everyone has made a different set of mistakes, domain-coded.

I've seen this same thing happen with MIT licenses...I would only consider it a real win or loss for FOSS when a court says something about it, and I don't consider facilitating online bullying to be something to be proud of. Just

Not as bad as the idea of passwords.

I put my passwords in Google Sheets temporarily. Then I moved them to 1Password, except the throwaway stuff. Google accounts aren’t immune to being compromised, so I agree that it’s not a good home for passwords (without even the need to in

I, like many others, wanted to move off of LP but was too lazy. So I just exported my passwords and put them into Google Sheets. While I have rotated many of those passwords (especially the important ones) and put them into a better passw

As a Xoogler you should know that the "impact" they want is, making leadership look good, what you shipped or even whether or not you shipped is nigh irrelevant. This did the opposite, didn’t it?

I don't have perfect pitch (never trained in it) but I've played violin a lot (started in college) and I can hear the G-ness, D-ness, A-ness, or E-ness of a note. I do have to be actually trying to listen though, except for if the

I feel like at least some of Steve’s later personality has to have been influenced by interactions such as the one with Bill Atkinson, where he was told rounded corners were "incredibly difficult" to program, only to come up with

Google was famously undervalued at IPO, even relative to its value back then (that is, ignoring the wild upside that actualized). It’s likely not the new Google from a shareholder upside perspective, given the hype.

Exploits are created ("crafted" might be a better word), vulnerabilities are discovered. Unless you're hiding a RAT behind a public trigger in your code on purpose, I guess?

Maybe they're going for the "PR from Trademark Infringement" strat all the cool kids have been using recently, like Clawdbot and "Notepad plus plus for Mac".

I'm not sure this article had enough thought put into it. For example: What happened in 2025 was this: the economics of code production were turned upside down. Instead of being very hard, time-consuming, and expensive to generat

Wouldn’t that imply that it makes smarter people feel dumber? I haven’t heard of or seen such an effect from LLMs. Have you? If it only amplifies half the effect, I don’t think TFA is an accurate claim.

This is one of the reasons I’ve never liked the aphorism "make it work, make it right, make it fast." By the time you get to the last point, say, having used Electron to build your graphing calculator, it is far too late to magica

I use Gemma 4 26B A4B on my Macbook (M4 Pro, 48 GB RAM) to study Rust (and ask other myriad questions). I don't trust it to do a good job in an IDE/harness to one-shot anything but the most trivial of changes. Still, it's fas
