In many respects, I think you already break your stream of consciousness when you sleep or are knocked out. When a copy of your brain is made, that copy will experience what all of us do after a good night’s rest in a train: waking up to an

One thing I tend to see a lot (90% of requests) is from people who are stuck with mediocre CRMs and want better analytics and email reporting than they’re given. The only way to accomplish anything is to spoof login and scrape because the o

I don't know how this would happen under their policy. > Adding dots doesn't change your address, so dots aren't why you got someone else's mail. Instead, the sender probably mistyped or forgot the correct address. &g

I’m a full time software engineer for a small company. No amount of googling answers my question: what exactly is part time consulting? At least, in your context

I just finished playing through Horizon Zero Dawn which had been untouched, collecting dust on the shelf for a couple years. Found more time in the pandemic and I'm wondering what else I've missed out on! The only other titles I&#

Look up desk pads, I have one that covers the majority of my 5’x30” desk! My Corsair PSU is an old 750W and they were synonymous with accessible modular power supplies for a while. Made them last longer by design when that wasn’t a given de

I believe the parent comment isn't bemoaning the business practices of these landlords but instead addressing the unethical behavior of its patrons.

But it’s not __approachable__, at least not to me. Seems like survivorship bias to point to nearly every dev with a toy language project. I might feel similarly if I finish nand2tetris

Data communicated as PDFs when it shouldn't be has frequently been a pain. Recently, I needed banking data that was _only_ available as bank statements in PDFs or an unpredictable web ui. Consuming banking data as PDFs is a nightmare.

My mistake, I was on a Mac and I intuitively look for app settings in the main menu bar, which is what I was describing. I should have looked up the process on other platforms to determine if it was just as intuitive

This is less an issue of biased narrative vs the truth than _your_ values vs BLM values. To BLM, nothing excuses someone who is supposed to protect and serve putting their weight onto someone's neck for nearly ten minutes. Is a stained

Weird question, how large would an alien spaceship have to be to position itself between the sun and the earth and cause us major problems? Distance would also play a factor as would the degree of “major problem” (varying effects on plant l

I met Professor Malan once and asked him for some advice on overcoming imposter syndrome. His advice was a matter-of-fact, learn the things you feel like you don't know and it shouldn't be an issue. I still feel like that sometime

That’s hyperbole. More like the beginning of the end of elected officials’ use of social media.

Reminds me of a more work-calendar integrated Timeful (which was purchased and killed by Google). I mourn it a lot since I never found a 1-to-1 replacement, so I'm rooting for your team!

That sounds difficult, it seems like your feelings are still pretty raw. I’m sorry you went through that. Out of curiosity, do you think there’s a difference between me asking a government to remove something from a web platform vs me askin

It does seem odd you can’t delete your own content, but beyond that, I don’t think any of our comments are worth paying for. Comments on HN feel a bit like recorded discourse in a techie Roman Forum. No one invites you to participate but pe

I feel like Apple is incentivized to move slowly on PWAs. The pros for bringing more features to PWAs: a small subset of users care, and an even a smaller subset of them care enough that they might leave the platform. The cons: a direct com

I feel like HN as a whole want blogs to come back, and part of that is well written exposition (the technical details) followed by near-outlandish opinions that tend to generate discussion. It's more fun, it leads to more conversation

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but good stats. From #1 ranked dangerous country in 2012, a disbandment in 2013, and #10 today seems at least somewhat successful to me
