This isn't what you asked for, but any time I need to explain to somebody what good code review is, I just tell them to watch this video[0]: "Beyond PEP8 - Best practices for beautiful intelligible code" by Raymond Hettinger.

This is a bit off-topic, but by any chance did you draw inspiration for the design of the site from Butterick's Practical Typography[0]? I _love_ the beautiful simplicity of this page. [0]: https://practicaltypography.com&#x

Thanks everybody for checking this out. I gotta say it's pretty wild sitting in the room all day and hearing people come in and out, communicating with you only via a handful of sound effects. Not quite what the app was built for but e

Oh awesome, I'll have to take a look at this. Thanks for sharing. I certainly have noticed when you lose all in-person meetings you start to notice the quiet in meetings more, people are reluctant to unmute just so you can hear them la

Thanks. :) Custom sounds is definitely on my list, but at the moment this is surprisingly simple and all running on free-tier Azure stuff. I'm still thinking about the simplest way to allow not only hosting of uploaded sound effects bu

Yeah I definitely know what you mean. I've found this works well for meetings with your team or people you work really closely with, especially once the initial novelty of just mashing all the sound effects wears off. There's a cu

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I've raised an issue in GitHub and I'll take a look. Edit: I just pushed a change which hopefully addresses this, which unfortunately temporarily boots everybody from the room. Still a problem

Hey HN. I was playing around with SignalR and built this webapp that lets you create and join chatrooms and send sound effects to each other. I've used this in mid-large meetings where you don't want people coming off mute all the

On the other hand, Google's is 4.5MB whereas Apple's is 55MB. For comparison, the 1 minute YouTube video[1] in 1080p is only 11MB. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC9urbiVp4M

Off-topic but this website is such a blatant rip-off of the AirPods Pro landing page[1] (EDIT: Discussed at the time [2]), and I _hate_ the UX. I'm not sure what device this is optimised for, but it requires a tonn of scrolling, it&#x2

Think about _why_ you are doing thin vertical slices. You started with large stories which are too big for a single sprint and typically stretch across multiple sprints. The reason this is a problem is that it's hard to plan, and no va

The only thing that I've found to work reliably is same-sized stories, i.e. breaking down every story until you get very thin vertical slices of roughly the same complexity (not very complex at all). The refinement should be done with

I rolled my own. I have an Azure function that I post the pathname and referrer to, and it then stores that in Table storage. It costs me between 1 and 2 cents per month.

My understanding is that comments start on 1 point but you don't actually get karma for that point, only for subsequent upvotes.

Just to be clear, you're referring to real Firefox address bar (pointing to TFA), not the fake Chrome address bar (pointing to hsbc.com). So yes, in this case Firefox has (accidentally?) somewhat thwarted this attack vector.

Not to detract from your efforts, but you can actually check your passwords with HIBP without sending the plaintext password. You can send the first 5 characters of the SHA-1 hash, and it will send back the rest of hashes that match for you

I think we need to stop using the word fail for things like this---expressions like "fail fast" and "learning from failure" and "embrace failure" often give people the wrong impression. Instead I prefer to re-c
