Kind of a metaphor, but: hiding under the sheets because I was afraid of the dark. One day someone helped me realize that if something were to happen because of the dark, it would serve me better to know about it (and see it coming) rather

Here's a previous discussion of the same person, but different source. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11589703 My comment at the time, and still stands: It's also not 250k in cash. It includes stock which ma

If they do it in CSS, I bet you can remove the animations by setting the animationduration property to 0 seconds. Or if you want to aggravate users, override it so that each animation takes 10seconds. :)

I definitely wouldn't replace my Macbook Pro 15" with one. I feel it's one of those items where it makes sense at the right price. At less than $100 it's barely disposable. And you go in expecting a cheap computer. At

No I haven't, but I'd imagine it would work. It's an x86 machine and you can plug in USB devices, HDMI, etc. I'm guessing if someone got it to work with the Intel Compute Stick, it would work here because the hardware

I have a DIR-505L ($15) I use for traveling. Has OpenVPN and SSIDs setup to bridge to the VPN (on layer 2). So when I connect to that special SSID it's as if I'm still onsite. It's also just a wallwart, so it's easy t

I second this! I have never done a project that I fully regretted or gone to a job wishing I had stayed at a previous job. While I have gone to a job that I hated almost immediately, I still didn't see returning to the previous job as

"We had just come out of a long experiment with self-management" Why do startups do these huge management experiments? My company did the flat thing too and they spent a few months trying to get people to understand it. Probably

The one big benefit I see over Let's Encrypt is the wildcard certificate. This allows me to use virtual hosting to host my sites over a single ip address. The domain name doesn't matter as it's only used for backend. I do w

There was a person at work who was clearly not enjoying their job. My colleague looks at me and asks, "why doesn't he just quit?" I almost responded, "well, I would want the unemployment!" Personally, I was kind

When women take over, does it grow the number of people in the field? If so, does pay drop because there are more people willing to do the same work?

"Salary is not the number one motivating factor for me in this decision." Why is it that every article about compensation has the author saying some variation of this? It seems so cliche to tell the company this. Yet, in this ar

It's also not 250k in cash. It includes stock which may or may not be worth what he thinks they are worth when he cashes out. My take away here is that base salary is comparable from company-to-company, but stock is given away like f
