That site is a mess. Shows a chart where the average IQ is 82, links to a page saying the average IQ is 100 (which is the original design). Also cites a eugenicist and thinks that worthy of a passing footnote. Frankly, I wouldn't trust

If you have millions of ops per day, a million-to-one chance of something means you'll see it every day! And it only takes a few noisy customers to bring these issues to light.

Was wondering about multi-remote git workflow and found this: https://jigarius.com/blog/multiple-git-remote-repositories This gets tougher with CI/CD though. How urgent is it to run your tests or deploy right now

Businesses already do that in many American cities.

Except that's a lie because you need a middleman to process the transaction (mining group). And in reality it ends up having another company like coinbase in the middle as well. So now you're in a worse position than before. Actua

Yikes. I can't believe this and the responses all agree. There are two things at play here: The reality of what happens is that devs with limited experience are asked to do things far outside their comfort zone because they aren't

This always bothers me. I won't click the "Order Online" button anymore. I'll look for the restaurants website (which often isn't the Website button either) and order directly. If I ran a restaurant, I would never p

Stats from the experts show that even great engineers fail technical interviews [1]. Anecdotally: I've bombed interviews myself! Sometimes due to anxiety (a real problem for some of us), sometimes because the problem was difficult. So

Usually this points to something like a fiber cut or backbone misconfig. Sometimes it can also be a data center issue with some trickling effects on other parts of the network.

You're sort of building this up as the idea of the US forcing its norms and laws on others, but that isn't what this is. The merits of protecting IP exist whether or not they are prevalent in any country. When participating in a g

Isn't there some sort of tooling that can be used in these situations? Like a "public search mode" app that encrypts your data but makes the phone look clean otherwise?

> Assent obtained through diplomatic pressure from a much larger country does not count This is a pretty absurd statement and use of the no true Scotsman fallacy. If that's the case, you'd just say "No diplomacy from the U

It's a Ukrainian company, even though they are registered in multiple nations. 95% of the employees are in Ukraine. They (their actual city and homes) are being bombed by Russia and Russians. Even if they had 5% of their company in Ukr

Everywhere they are required to, yes. Just as Amazon and Walmart has to collect taxes on behalf of those municipalities.

Not a chance imo. When I get a salary range it means the top of that range. Anybody asking for less is making an error. Sometimes I get a range and I talk to the recruiter/company and tell them I need significantly more than that. In t

Why should any company follow the law of Colorado? If you want to do business there (and make no mistake, HN is a part of YC's business), you have to follow their rules.

So let's say it was WW2 and it was a Jewish company refusing to provide a service to Germans in Germany. You would never use their service again? You'd blame the Jews?

The taxes of those citizens are being used for the bombs being dropped on the homes of namecheap employees. Continuing to provide services for their profit is not harmless.

If the US started bombing Ukraine, would you really complain about Ukrainians cutting off American access to their services?

Not only do these get written once per organization, but they are specific to that organization. With the exception of the doctype, html tag, viewport, and charset, we use none of the rest. And our attribute usage differs.

What do you mean by public VPN? Do you mean free proxies? I'm talking about paid private vpns like expressvpn. The p in vpn stands for private so that's a bit redundant. Your traffic is still encrypted, these vpns can't run a
