I started with Apache long ago, and then I moved to Nginx. 15+ years have passed. Why did Apache never become a real competitor? I didn't A/B test with Apache and Nginx - I just read slashdot and later HN, and I trusted people w

It takes a huge, lengthy effort to make a browser that is close enough to standards compliance and performant enough that people would be happy using it. Even if you do all those things, there's little guarantee that your efforts would

One solution is for black and gray hats to make a coordinated effort to regularly publish conversations between officials and promoters of these policies. When their conversations with their mistresses become frequently public, they will ch

I gave up two different periods when I tried to do anything involving a lot of data with OneDrive. Inevitably the app would fail to sync or would forever get stuck syncing and become useless. What number of files and total volume stored do

I’ve spent a lot of time, made a lot of manual trades, and lost a lot of money on crypto futures in the last three months. I’ve learned some things… One is that the order books are virtually meaningless, at least for humans. They change so

They do find their way to inboxes, especially for folks who continue to use services like Yahoo mail. Some get through Gmail too. There are a LOT of older folks who are terribly un-savvy users who do not engage their brains when behind a c

Thank you. Now I finally get it. That hyphen makes a big difference.

Am I misunderstanding this, or is there a word missing from a key sentence in the abstract? "There was also a pattern of considerable within group variability." How does this get published with an obvious mistake in the abstract?

One of my clients did 10 years for two charges which actually weren't true (don't mess with Texas, or at least not the people who help get officials elected!) What we found was that many people do not care if you've been in p

Their culture used to promote 10 or 20% time side projects, many of which became full Google projects. That will certainly lead to some abortions. However, at some point there are executives deciding strategy, and almost by definition they

Indeed they were open source proponents for a long time (and are far from that now), but the failure of their messaging platforms matches the failure of many, many of their other product (projects). They just do some periodic financial ana

I'm not a messaging historian, but according to Wikipedia RCS group was formed in 2007. Apple's iMessage was launched in 2011, which means it had been in development for some time. Especially being Apple, they would not pick an e

With all the lock-in and connectedness of Google owned systems, they cannot complain. And it's not Apple's fault that Google can't build long term successes in most products it creates. That's a management/strateg

And yet, I find it the most pleasantly readable dark mode text I’ve seen.

What I immediately noticed was how easy it was to read the article’s “dark mode” presentation. Normally with very dark background and white or light gray or yellow text, I quickly develop weird persistent white and black ghost rows which ev

From the main page it seems they listened to the 440 tuning on the first day, and then the same music tuned to 432 the next day. I very strongly suspect that people’s reactions to music can vary based on many factors, but the least of which

This looks awesome. Whether 500 WPM or not, I would give this a try. Long ago I learned the BAT one hand chorded keyboard. For one hand typing, I got to around 50 or 60 wpm - but only prose. It was much too slow for programming, as symbo

Flexport posts a lot of "Flexport is hiring" ads on HN. Here are my anecdotal experiences. I was contacted by a very sharp recruiter from within the company a year ago. She said they weren't actually looking for backend dev

Google search results are garbage, at least from a developer's perspective. Most of the results are poorly formatted content "gathered" from stackoverflow, github, quora, etc. And from a "person who wants to see an image

Yeah, accidental traffic is not the goal for us. This is so when people see an existing piece at a show or otherwise hear about him, they will have a place they can be told to go see more of his work.

The goal is to have a place where potential buyers (especially people who see only one of his pieces at a competition) can see the rest of his work and potentially buy something. This would last until he runs out of work (but he's alwa

Thanks for the warning. I would have never thought about that, but in this case I think paintings of old typewriters, phones, cameras, and such should be safe!

Yours is a really nice site. I'll look into Squarespace. Honestly this would be enough for my dad's needs (and since I would be managing it, I'm sure it would be quite easy). Thanks!
