I believe it! I'm under 30, have a good sized apartment, and I also rent co-working office space in 2 places so I can always escape somewhere dedicated to getting work done. Still, I'm _excited_ by the thought of the library syste

There seem to be a lot of commenters in favour of open salaries here - how does this work for self-employed people? If I've been freelancing and working my tail off do you also believe I ought to be publicly disclosing that, or is it l

Thank you so much for this - I've always wondered what that meant, and knowing now I can read all of the normal HN comments _and_ the jokes has made my HN experience 2x better!

So the line breaks and stuff are fine on the right? I could argue that _any_ line break in CSS is extraneous whitespace, so why are some line breaks OK but others not?

In Toronto (Canada! land of snow and the North Pole) we've been having 90% humidity at night. I have AC but it's barely making a difference. Opening a window would be insanity. I just flew out to Calgary and we have a nice hot day

Interesting tool, but even more interesting results. I just tried it on a simple, one-page website I built recently and there is not a single line of _code_ that's unused, yet it's still showing me 182 lines unused. Things it seem

I saw Mark43 a while ago and haven't been able to stop musing about it since - I think it would be rewarding work knowing if you excel at your job you're helping save lives and reduce risk!

I am self-employed as a contractor/consultant doing frontend work - this is similar to how I started the relationship with my biggest and best client. They had a post looking for a full-time contractor, I contacted them and they gave m

AI gets clicks in 2017: a story about students giving an artificial intelligence their homework to finish sells better as a story than talking about students punching formulas into a web-based calculator.

The ping pong balls are still a bit of a mystery then aren't they - is there any chance you could toss some kind of tracking device in there? GPS could be helpful on a large scale if it did go underground for a distance, but I'm w

Everything you said was too vague and platitudinous for me to understand what Okta does, and the copy on the website seems just as vague. Are you able to clearly explain what Okta does and what skill sets you're hoping to hire?

After reading that article, my main takeaways are: - both dogs and wolves are capable of bonding with humans - dogs prefer dependence on others (even inter-species) - wolves prefer independence from all outside their 'pack' - wolv

I think the key to growing long-term creative ability is getting in the habit of daily creation. For me I build a lot of HTML + CSS demos, so that means starting my day by experimenting and looking things up in the spec, then building some

Well this blog post is _really_ shortsighted for a couple reasons: 1. There's position: sticky; recently added to CSS: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-position/#sticky-pos 2. Position: sticky; is gaining browser supp

Just my 2¢ as a migraine sufferer - although I am wary about getting adjusted (I fear having too many adjustments would increase the frequency at which I need adjustments) on more than one occasion, while suffering tremendously with migrain

This is fantastic! I've recently decided to begin reading web browser source code, even though I understand very little of it at the moment. For now, what's been fun is to load up the same file in both Chromium and Firefox source,

I feel like 'poaching' makes sense, I see it used when the recruiters are 'hunting' not in the open market of job seekers, but only 'hunting' within the flocks of their competitors. That's like hunting an

Well I would consider licenses like MIT, LGPL, and some of the CC licenses to be _more_ free than the GPL, so I expect more MIT and public domain code will survive and continue to be used and available for those people in 50 or 100 years :)

Forgive my ignorance too - but I don't think the intended goal of the GPL is to allow you to dual-license, I think Stallman would (I'm guessing) not want people to license code as anything other than GPL, so I imagine he'd di

I'll offer a little counterpoint to that. I had known 'free software' as shareware until ~2001 when I had my first introduction to Linux. I was very curious, and took to open source software AND the ideals very easily. Becaus

What an unbelievably ill-informed decision. I know "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence" and all that, but it's absolutely incredible that an adult try do this and not anticipate the consequences.

I love these sorts of comparisons. For years I was working with and around jQuery code and coders, and no matter how much I tired, I could just never learn jQuery. It felt too high level, like a world built out of train tracks, so instead o
