I'm going to have to give this a try. I manage multiple Google Workspace accounts for clients and have stuck to Chrome for those as I have a profile set up for each account. Yes, you can log in to multiple Google accounts in any browse

Oh that's interesting. I assumed people copy/pasted titles when they submit!

Interesting, does the HN system replace three dots (...) with a space in titles? The title of the article contains (`...`), but the title here just has a space.

For another data point, I got an email yesterday from "Salesforce" about a Heroku dataclip. I had recently deleted it, so maybe the email was queued up a couple days before. The email says, in part, "We recommend that you upd

It has the benefit of being at a general domain, icloud.com, instead of one that is (in theory) traceable to you for someone who cares enough to do so.

I hadn't heard the name in quite some time, but I distinctly remember similar behavior on other mailing lists. I think it was one of the Omni Group's Mac lists - macosx-talk or -admin or -dev, I can't quite recall.

They're fine for knowing that something is going on, but not great for knowing exactly what the cause is. For example, when Facebook's services went down in October, people were reporting that AT&T and other cell carriers we

The 6 minutes makes perfect sense to me - it could be one of those "If I don't reply to this ASAP I will never have time" situations. The notification is right in front of you. I don't think it's fair to assume any

I like this a lot and agree with pretty much all of it. I'd add: Figure out a way to detect that I'm doing a re-watch of a series and do something with the progress bar on episode previews to reflect that. So if I've watched

I went kind of in another direction a few years ago - CodeIgniter's routing/sessions/etc base was plenty for most of my projects, but I wanted a real ORM. So I integrated Eloquent from Laravel and ignored the built-in CI data

I just installed ncdu via homebrew and ran in in my home directory - very snappy and helped me clean out some old caches.

Thank you, ketzo. Unfortunately I'm no longer with the org and can't say for sure that they wouldn't ever try to do something like this. I'm working with a new group now on open source peer support software that also val

Thanks for this! I have doubts about our old building's power being able to support PoE properly but I might give them a shot and see how it goes.

I'm glad to see this answer. I'm in the same situation - my ISP sent me a modem/router. I use that. Don't need much else. It's even got a guest network (not that we've had many untrustworthy visitors in the pas

Just this morning I needed to do a global find/replace for a string in a 3GB .sql file. I was in VS Code anyway so tried that - but the app choked on it. Ended up going with sed and it worked perfectly.

Ah, sorry - yes, a Board of Alders is an elected legislative body. We have the Mayor of the city as the executive while the BoA makes laws and such. I also agree that students should be able to vote where they live, by the way! > It&#x27

Very interesting! Yale doesn't have a Congressional or state representative (directly, anyway) but take a look at this map [0] and zoom in on Ward 1, in the center. That is pretty much all Yale territory. Two blocks (Chapel to Elm, Chu

As a recent interviewee I can say that I'd be asked about code I was proud of. The last place I worked for was well-known enough or could be looked up easily and was small, so I explained what our main solution did, a particular issue

Do you have any recommendations for good macOS time trackers? I've tried Clockify but the desktop app is extremely lacking and doesn't feel native at all. I've ended up just keeping a browser tab pinned.

Browser manufacturers changed the behavior of APIs like performance.now() [0] to add slight rounding 'errors' or limit the granularity of timing functions. That function used to report on the microsecond level in (most) browsers,
