Never say “* exists” as an excuse. When zapier came out Yahoo Pipes existed.

I save time by only reading HN for the comments.

No surprise at all, they’ve always been bad news.

Trying to put that not up eh?

A tall order to expect HN commenters to click through to the article. :-P

Yep! Had a problem tenant that was like pulling teeth to get rent out of them, turned out the problem was the roommate. Once the roommate moved out getting full rent arrived like clockwork. On the flip side, as we were installing new laundr

The Chicago one gets me. I am not in SF often but we have taken 3-day weekend trips to Chicago since my children were 3. Multiple times walking around downtown, enjoying Navy Pier, even a couple of cases where we were walking to our hotel p

Shit, I wish I hadn't read those. I didn't need that today.

Bingo. This is exactly a setup I have seen before as well. Message recieved and acked, process kicked off, job state tracked in redis or similar.

I first discovered Bob via his blog, basically a post about how he had just joined Google. As a Java developer early in my career, he inspired me with his work on Google Collections, Guice and Android. He was a bit of a role model. Later wh

I don't get it? I was excited about XUL back in 2007 (call me silly) and there was a whole resource site dedicated to it, complete with documentation and examples. XUL Plannet ( https://web.archive.org/web/200706071

Hey I didn’t mind. During the latest bull run I looked into my wallet and realized I had $800 of stellar lumens on it. Transferred it out and got some additional money from it.

Same! Modifying phpBB, oscommerce and Wordpress installs is how my career began!

Or (gasp!) called out on Twitter! Which in this day and age, people pretend is a fate worse than beheading.

Comes up all the time. There was another tool like this (huggin?). I think what often gets missed and what gives zapier great power is the developer platform that can let devs build anything! I have a lot of custom integrations with apps th

I have always imagine walking through airport security like a normal person, then out of the blue you are tackled, arrested and charged with “illegal attempt to board a plane” and sentenced to twenty years in a federal prison. An over-react

Saw a silly “recommended” video on YouTube of Jordan Peterson talking about ChatGPT. “It knows everything. It’s smart. It’s smarter than you!” What a crackpot, talking about stuff he doesn’t understand for clicks. Sadly it works for the low

Are they? They’re tied to people putting money in and out of their platform, not to how much Bitcoin is worth.

LOL… typical HN tying a market being in a downturn to a company for trading securities “collapsing.” Probably the same type that associates tech debt with “company is on the decline” despite strong revenue.
