It's also highly suspect. 240k photos is 66 photos per day, every day, over a full decade. If you're spending time taking 66 photos a day, I think you have bigger (personal) issues to contend with than your image storage solution.

This whole thing is so weird. Why do so many organizations depend on the internet to function? It wasn't too long ago that it was standard practice to vendor your dependencies; that is, dump your dependencies into a vendor/ dire

Very confused about this. How is it any different from any other high-SEER heat pump currently on the market?

One of the most insane things I hear repeated constantly is that "servers are cheaper than programmers", implying that runtime efficiency doesn't matter, only developer efficiency. Which is all well and good, until you need t

This would be a fair argument if Scott was literally sitting in the newsroom or on the newsroom Slack going on racist tirades, making the employees uncomfortable. But he's syndicated. The Plain Dealer doesn't "work with"

What? Merely existing on the playground, on the field, or in the cafeteria in the 80s and 90s reinforced the idea that being different was bad. How is this unique to post-2012? At least Instagram doesn't hold you up against a chain-l

It's truly insane to see. HN has been filled, for the last decade, with stories and advice about hopping jobs every two years to garner 20-40% pay increases, completely oblivious to the bubble that was SO OBVIOUS to some of us. Armies

A cursory look at the way DEI policies are applied shows the claimed justification to be a blatant lie. If we were actually concerned about tipping the scales properly based on actual income data, white men would not be the primary target

This is the correct answer. It's quite shocking how many Django and Laravel answers there are in this thread. Performance and type safety appear to be completely irrelevant to HN. You should take a look at Vite ( https://vite

This is generally the correct answer. Online TDEE calculators almost always overestimate expenditure, as do smartwatches. On the intake side, people lie to themselves constantly. First, they generally don't actually weigh their portion

No, all the problems wouldn't go away. But a healthy-weight population would cost roughly 64% less to treat, which implies a 64% reduced hospital congestion and workload. This could get offset somewhat as people die later in life of
