Gemini is good, but please remember that the value could always go down sharply. It is not usually best to buy at the peak of the chart. (opinion, not financial advice)

I liked the weapon storage for keeping certain useful/powerful weapons, especially since it took me forever to find Hestu's second location, and the bed is nice to have as well. Mainly just a fun thing to have, and I'm hoping

Agreed. I've always wanted a useful house in a Zelda game. Now I have one. And the game just keeps getting better (albeit a little too easy so far)

Futurecommerce [0] ShopTalk [1] Recode Replay [2] The Changelog (as you mentioned) [3] Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots [4] Those are a few that I listen to regularly. I have too many podcasts (but I have a feeling I'll pi

Sorry I can't shed much light on how to get through this. I'm stuck in the middle of it as well, ending my weekend being frustrated and angry that I wasted it. I don't believe that lack of enthusiasm is necessarily at play he

Similarly, we hooked up the N64 in the motorhome on a tiny CRT TV and played split-screen (Tony Hawk, mostly). Great times, terrible hardware.

That's pretty similar to what I was asked over the phone in an interview for API support (I forget exactly what the title was) for Google Maps, I believe. I got the SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK answer; questions about sorting algorithms; and stum

Interesting. I'll have to try it and see how it compares to my current gaming AMI where I just use Steam or Remotr to stream things like Dirt and ARK.

Flux has been awesome for me, I've been using it for a long time. Redshift more recently, but does a good job too. Twilight for Android is a very nice counterpart for my phone.

They may not be able to accurately answer the question, but that doesn't prevent if from being a helpful question. If your answer to this question is "no, not at all," you should be aware of that fact and use it to guide deci

Yes, that seems about right. I also do not get paid nearly that much, but the location (San Francisco), caliber of required employees and the overhead of benefits certainly adds up.

This has been my main HN client for several weeks. It works well.

I liked them about equally, but Atom is really slow on my work computer and crashes on my laptop. VSC is much more stable.

Definitely do this. I'd say even $15/month would be a good price point for a hosted version.

I'm young. I also think this is "weird." I am happy, however, when I'm alone and I remember that my phone has this functionality.

Allegedly, they have gone on some banhammer-binges recently for VPN users, as well as blocking many forms of VPN. Even spinning up a VPS in a datacenter in your own state and using a VPN may not work for you. I assume copyright holders have

If I made $100k, I'd move to a place where I didn't need my car any more. Good public transit is very convenient. Car maintenance is not.

I'm definitely going to buy this, start reading three books and finish none.

Great points here. Counterpoints to consider: 1 & 2 are different for everyone. I get an energy boost from working a certain amount of really productive hours during the week. Be self-aware, meditate, and identify the symptoms leading u

I'm 27, have had a great job for three years and very recently dropped into this weird "stuck" state that feels similar to what you're describing. I feel like a robot that gets up every day, goes to work, goes to bed, re

I've got a lot of blog post outlines saved, and I'm no longer so worried about posting something to the internet and receiving critique. However, no matter how good my intentions are, I always find something 'more important&#

I use Evernote. There are better tools for organization and prioritization, but I find that I get distracted by those things. So, I take it down in Evernote (or a Field Notes book if I'm AFK) so that my thought doesn't get interru

I've used Paribus, and although I'm not usually a fan of letting services connect to my email (even the one I use for shopping), I like it. I've received a few refunds from products that I have pre-ordered and then watched th

As others have said, the key points are that you should ask for at least a barebones salary and you will likely be replaced if this company takes off. However, this could be a great opportunity and you shouldn't let fear or self-doubt

I wouldn't call myself an engineer or senior dev, but I have been doing networking and LAMP work for years and I still haven't qualified to get past Math 98. For some reason, certain types of math come easily to me (I'm great
