In full agreement. The UK is now a joke of a country, all the best to them.

In my experience, background doesn't tell you if someone's passionate. Spending a few minutes talking about their (as well as your own) side projects and what they've been spending their evenings working on / reading abo

One I only recently heard of through HN is Contabo. 8GB Ram for 5 EUR/mo. I've not used them, but given I pay $6 to DO for 1GB to run a single Mongo instance, I may give them a go. Credit where its due though, DO have a great UI f

As an employee learn to manage expectations. You can push back projects with deadlines if you manage expectations early enough. Fail that and you'll have pissed off stakeholders. Trying to convince managers to do something won't a

I found Hired has a salary page[1] (likely SO have one too? Edit: they do [2]) the other day while a friend suggested I use them for my "window shopping". It's more US/UK based, and the few roles I've looked up in F

The flip side to this is using something like an Amex which offers insurance, points, business lounge access and much more. Set up the card with diret debit (much like your automated payments) and never spend above what you can afford. You

Having created a data crawler too, the discussion about gated websites behind CloudFlare is painfully true. Unless you're a big player, you just can't enter this market. It's a real shame. Supposedly stating you're a cus

Oh man that's such a common problem. I wish they'd use something like SES just to get around this problem, but hey. Even warming up emails does a lot to help you avoid the filter.

I'm running one such service (inboxes.app), and it often boils down to five really obvious give-aways: 1. The server accepts emails to all emails addresses. If I want to check if a service is a temporary email service or not, hit a f

HN has a certain userbase, while Twitter caters to the masses. I'm certain this plays a large role in the quality of content, along with upvotes and moderation.

Yes, But they tested Yahoo of all websites to make sure they don't send tracking data, and not an unrelated website like wikipedia or archive.org. The only non-google test case too I might add.

Chrome explicitly having a line [1] of code to not send the `x-client-data` header to Yahoo made me laugh. [1] https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/comp...

This. I lost a lot of respect when Firefox complained that something was wrong, and it turned out to be Avast doing a man in the middle attack to 'protect' me on https websites.

Repetition is in some ways emphasis. The fact that you are getting fatigued is showing that it is slowly working, and that people are slowly waking up to it.

Adding to this, I once bought their hosted container service, and when I contacted them they told me they no longer supported this product. How?! Why was I able to order it in the first place?!

What's stopping Google from refusing to pay the news sites, thus de-indexing them from Google entirely? If the relationship is "pay me for my content", then refusing to serve links to their media is absolutely within their ri
