Yep, my reaction exactly. That's a very bitter take on the fatherhood. Perhaps the context here is that of single fathers?

On the other hand, there was a post on the front page recently that said that showing opt-in 3rd party cookie prompts resulted in over 90% refusal rate. Ignorance is a bliss, but if given a choice to not share extra info with random com

Finally. Took them long enough. There is literally no other business reason for Google to maintain Google Fonts, but to augment its tracking insights. None. That's the sole purpose of the very existence of Google Fonts.

What do you think this will accomplish? If you want to let YC know, do it in private. If you want to help other people avoid this startup, weigh the satisfaction of doing that vs the fact that people are generally wary of hiring whistleblow

Clearview is expected to not collect or use pictures of Canadians, presumably taken on the Canadian soil. That's a perfectly reasonable request. Just like Google is not allowed to provide street view of certain locations due to local p

It does actually update itself every now and then even though it shouldn't be. In the middle of the night no less. You may want to check the logs. No feature updates, just patches, but still.

I meant that the promo perk is a flag. If it's set, you can bump up the post. This clears the flag. Earn 1000 more points, flag is set again.

Karma has no value at the moment. It's best that it remains this way. I would however love to be able to bump up a post of my choice to the front page for every, say, 1000 karma points earned. Let it have above normal gravity (i.e. mak

Oi vey. This sort of QA is exactly what's wrong with the "modern" C++. It's just ugly . I've been using C++ as my main language since it was barely out of C with Classes stage and it pains me to see how it evolved

Fastcopy is no longer the fastest copier and it hasn't been for quite some time now. It can's even beat robocopy /mt in mass file copying and it is barely on-par with it when copying larger files. And on SSD and NVMe drives f

This looks like a very niche tool with one-off usage pattern. Seeing it being sold as a subscription makes very little sense, at least on the surface.

Stripe can handle sales taxes. Also, it's worth checking with the accountants first before taking on a role of a tax collector. When yet another random country demands a sales tax on purchases made by its citizens, it's just a sph

Plenty of people do this. Go onto any software listing site (eg. Softpedia or AlternativeTo), pick a not-a-brandname commercial product and chances are that it will be a single-person project. From things that are really well-polished and l

Sticking defer under the var declaration is clever, but it doesn't look an improvement in terms of the code quality to me. It trades verbosity of the "out:" pattern for the need to register the cleanup code before the acqui

> block scoped defer That's the thing. Block-scoped is a better option as far as the language "spirit" is concerned, but it's limiting (see below). Function-scoped is more useful, but when used in loops it may lead to

It's not an major concern though. If one has trouble writing correct cleanup code conventionally (with "goto out" and a single function exit), then allowing them to use defer will only lead to more obscure issues. And if de

This works in some cases, not all. Editboxes flicker if they have focus and are being resized. They also flicker when resized programmatically (e.g. when doing layout transition animations) and this is virtually impossible to eliminate, but
