It's quite the feat to convince someone to pay for something they already get for free, particularly in the digital space... Aha! The answer has been right under our noses the entire time: we need to sell online media subscriptions as

One rumor that occasionally makes the rounds is that managers specifically seek to disorient and fatigue workers with hostile flex schedules in order to keep employees too exhausted to seek better work. It's a little dramatic for my

Chess is a hobby , nobody locks you in a gravity chamber the day you decide to start practicing. You are perfectly free to do other things, so "spending years" is rather hyperbolic, I feel. Is it worth it? Probably not, but who t

"death": losing player called to greater things, one hopes. It's not often that a standard written by committee leads me to ruminate on the nature of life.

This resonates with me. I'm a Millenial(?[1]) and I've chosen not to have children on the basis of climate change. Talk all you want about how climate change is not a personal issue -- the decision to have children ( and how many

Wanna know how to spot an HN user in the wild? Mention Youtube and wait to see if they launch into dramatics. Grown adults getting mad at a tool for doing its job . If you ask me, it's the same story with just about every single dig

I suspect it's because the international market for print manga (the primary cash cow) is rather anemic, particularly compared to anime. Publishers see the loss as minimal and creators see piracy as free advertising to drum up enthusia

Genuine question: has any subreddit actually ever managed to "come back" after being quarantined? As far as corrective actions go, it just doesn't seem like there's much of a distinction between "killed now" an

Should it also be the OS's job to sandbox JS from the websites you visit? Admittedly, that question is made in bad faith -- I know what you mean, even if what you mean isn't necessarily "sandboxing": permissions! Android

This is why right to repair laws are important. If you buy the hardware, you should implicitly have the right to modify the software in-so-far as it is physically possible given the hardware package purchased. It's entirely within the

A rather unfortunate name, given how Posh is also occasionally used as a shortening of PowerShell. Especially when PowerShell has a very similar shtick going for it.

Another ServiceNow developer here -- I feel that no-code tools are great for internal tooling, but that they fall quite short when it comes to crafting a proper user experience. To put it another way: there will always be a crossover point

I'm not sure if I buy that logic. The U.S. is also on the high side, in terms of average annual hours worked. If we tried to extrapolate that hypothesis, shouldn't it imply that countries with considerably lower averages (e.g.: Ge

I have to begrudgingly agree. It's almost insulting that most apartment stove sets blow the ventilation exhaust right back in your face. It reminds me of the Victorian practice of burning gaslight fixtures all day long in sealed rooms.

Cool, though I wonder how long this convention will stick, granted that this is a policy by executive fiat -- It would suck for a lot of people if they suddenly had to redo their passports 4/8/12 years down the road. Is this an in

It may reduce the demand for the rank-and-file grunts, though. Why would an architect bother with sending some work overseas if tools like this would enable them to crank out the code faster than it would take to do a code review?

I think it's also a fantastic illustration of how even the best designed systems need to be twisted and coerced in some rather gruesome ways once they make contact with the end-user. In order to craft a polished experience, they had to

Man, sometimes being an evil-mode user feels like being the red-headed stepchild... That's okay though, I quite like that I can use Emacs like a souped-up vim, especially when Emacs sometimes does vim-like better than even vim could in
