> Heroes exist due to incompetent management. Yep - in the article incompetent management was laid out pretty clear: * The project is 3 months late * but he also wants you to finish your colleague’s project * But of course the original t

This is really where it's at. I've got monitoring and am considering the freezing route too. I just never open lines of credit (maybe one every 3-4 years) so it's like why have it open in the first place...!?

Exactly!! I run exclusively 2k and it's not the end of the world imo. I'm running a 1:1 right now and holy cow. I know it's probably bias but I will say it's actually the best monitor I've ever used... I'm a de

Great. Yet another one. Can't even just get simple lab diagnostics anymore without having your SSN/CC number harvested... let's all look on in disbelief while these people barely get slapped on the wrist! Just a reminder to e

Eizos are outstanding. You can find pretty good deals on used ones with good color space coverage.

Probably - "Has it occurred* to you you might simply not understand the advantages of this approach?" makes you sound pretty dismissive of the parent comment's points. Also - as someone who disagrees with you I don't see

I've been thinking about doing the same myself but with a direct tie-in from Node.js to MySQL to grab the post objects via mysql2... did you ping the WP JSON API for generating posts? I'm just confused as to how that would break t

Yep - already use it and love it. The problem with Terminator is opening it on same monitor that my cursor is on with a keyboard shortcut key. Guake is (I think) the only one that gets that right without custom scripting. Been researching a

In the United States the management layer doesn't have a clue so if you don't keep up on React, GraphQL, etc etc - you're seen as a curmudgeon. They're not the ones learning it but they're still attending all of the

Yep - which is why the exclusion arguments are very uncomfortable truths. When you boil it down, this whole backlash to sexual assault is just risk to a corporation and it's people... and it's worthless risk when it comes to the b

I'm in a competitive place and my company pays me to keep my sword sharp. I do that with lots and lots of solid tooling... a ton of it being stuff I've developed myself over years =) "Don't try the blood and guts routine

You can do something like this in a few lines of JS. https://kopy.io/sAgzt Yes I know it's jQuery - hate all ya want. Vanilla JS would be just as trivial. Drop it into a console and ctrl click to hide stuff. VERY easy

Well - frankly I price this at "free-fiddy" because I hammered this out in 5m (just drop it into your console): https://kopy.io/sAgzt Yes it's jQuery (and I know everyone on HN hates jQuery!) - a vanilla JS v

You're not handling input elements correctly. Using CSS to hide things like CC number fields etc via blurring is a fool's errand. You're going to have split-second rendering issues that still display info in cleartext on the

Most extension devs can knock something like this out in a weekend. It's steep.

Amen to this. The new Reddit interface is a step backwards in functionality due to this sorta stuff and effectively breaks user experience. Just to give an idea how bad it is: loading the front page cold of new reddit = 9685KB. Loading the

Went down this rabbit hole yesterday and played with LitElement/lit-html for the first time... great experience for folks who don't want much "ceremony". Was also SUPER impressed with AppRun. The more that I depart from

Agree. I'm perfectly capable at vi and I'd probably just walk because it shows total arrogance on the interviewer's part. Anecdotal - I use zsh, with the bureau theme - pretty obvious it's not just a bash shell. During a

I bet there's also a measurable difference in outcome when this type of communication is forced through a screen. By removing the face-to-face interaction you're making it easier to remove empathy from the situation... But frankly

My apologies - can you give me the edit capability to go in and tone that down then? Or maybe the ability to delete a comment that turned out to be controversial? If you are a mod - feel free to delete this thread as many people in other pa

Chrome offered to auto-fill his CC number that is stored with his expiry, name on card, and (maybe) payment address/zip... everything but the CVV, (card verification number, usually three digits). Chrome is pretty clever these days wit

Yep - and I'm entirely skeptical of people who singularly use a singular "A/B" study to back up any case when it comes to a real business' sales funnel. Simple input masking or not - it just wouldn't hold up in

by folkhack 8y ago
It COULD be a "real thing" but 100% don't believe it until someone links a study backing up a claim like that. Breaking up long numbers into smaller input fields CAN help with data-entry (think dyslexia etc.) but in the case
