Guess it's time to offer 3x. It's how supply and demand work, right?

I don't really want to have a debate about this on HN, but I do have some points of curiosity: What kinds of work are you hiring for? Are these young/newly minted CS grads looking for SW jobs? If they're new grads, they'

I'm middle aged, a Gen X'er. I've always taken time off, on my schedule. "I'm taking this Friday off." No reason the Boss needs to be aware of, I won't be in the office. I'm sensitive to the calenda

Overengineering: I just left an enterprise-y company where the lead software engineer "over-engineered" for the purpose of job security. His philosophy was that if it's layered and convoluted, it's harder to replace him.

Might as well not even vote. Your one votes can't turn the tide.

Perhaps your questions are more general, but I'll speak for myself. I don't consider paywalling quality journalistic content socially unacceptable. I consider dropping a link on a free discussion board to a site with a paywall to

Personally, I'm just there to see what makes the link on HN so interesting. I don't seek out articles on paywalled sites directly. When I stumble into a paywall, I just close the tab and look at other headlines on HN.

> You don't have to be "pro-X"or "anti-X" But don't we? We have to be completely polarized on every topic. How else will the binary political system survive? OK, onward without the sarcasm ... This same kind

My intuition says that Dropbox should never have followed (soft) links outside the 'boundaries' of the sync folder. It never occurred to me to expect it to work like that. I have, however, use folders under Dropbox to sync local f

I’d prefer an argument that mentions the type of regulations you intend to relax/change. Construction? Nope, there’s safety involved. Zoning? Feasible, let’s talk.

I think lost of folks don't think about a GUI having good keyboard support. I recall wowing a Windows admin in the late 90s by using the keyboard to navigate a mouseless Windows 'server.' macOS seems to have eschewed good key

>In C++, functions do that. GP means 'they do that unexpectedly.' In your C++ code, your function doesn't just up and decide to make changes to the parameters; `target` is a reference and therefore the caller should expect

I think the issue here is the definition of "damage." Think about this from a design company's perspective. They've designed a Beautiful Looking Credit Card. A credit card typically takes scuffs, scratches, wear and even

"negative pricing" sounds like they'll pay me to use it, if only I would just use it. I can see that's not your intent, but I suspect that's the first reading of many.

"Job footprint" is a nice weaselly phrase, evoking "employees" and not actually meaning employees.

I know VCs like to appear as if they provide an advisory role. I don't know how many actually contribute more than capital to their portfolio companies, my guess would be that you have to seek out a reputable company that provides more

I disagree. They've constructed a sentence that will always be true by using the weasel word "may" and the emphatic "no doubt." I have no doubt that one day someone may win big at poker in a casino. Someone may; or

Why use our precious profits when people will indeed pay higher prices to visit the parks? Shareholders don't like spending money, even when they have it. They'd rather increase revenue and then siphon a bit off of that for spendi

You have to fund that somehow so ... prices go up! Real estate isn't infinite, but Disney World in Florida is expanding now more than ever. If they ever have to build a new set of parks elsewhere, real estate prices are going to be rid

Not readily readable to the human eye. It requires light from the right angle and reading at the right distance. I could totally see Apple providing designer reading tables to TSA for exactly this purpose rather than changing the readabilit

Brand new cars don't yet have plates. Granted, most states now have dealer-printed labels with an identifier on them, but still, new cars don't immediately have plates when they roll off the lot.

The code doesn't rely on a magic value, the humans have decided that an empty value will be typed, by hand, into their terminals as the characters "NULL". The problem is that the employees with access to the system are requir
