I thought I’d miss those things too, now I get all confused when I drive with a dashboard in front of me. The only sorta inconvenience is the glovebox, but honestly, there’s so much space in the middle storage that the only use of the glove

Unless solar panels evolve _considerably_ in efficiency, or you cover a gigantic area with panels for a single car, I believe that’s not really a viable option

Yes - 220-250k is average total compensation for a senior in the bigcos in SF. Upwards to $500k+/y is not unheard of either... the variance is pretty crazy

Is that rethorical? It means being able to save money on every paycheck, or have enough saved (or a social safety net) that allows you to lose a job and not go bankrupt/lose assets if you spend a few months without pay. That’s by no me

1. Naming conventions don’t solve syntax warts. Modern languages solve this as part of their null safety (eg optional monads or the ? on kotlin and swift) 2. Yes, I know how to “properly” do it. Does not eliminate human error. 3. Closures i

I keep shooting myself in the foot _the same way_, all the time - and it's incredibly easy to do so: - not knowing if "Foo" being returned is a struct or an interface, so you're not sure if you should "if foo != nil

"no test, a single staging dev server (no local dev env), no doc, inconsistent function and variable naming" --> none of these things prevent code from shipping, per se. I know it's convenient, as a first time leader, to f

I love how much energy this dude spends trying to prove a point, while at the same type including a chart that confirms that there IS a trendline, and it’s not pretty.

You could (and people do) send gift cards, or pre-paid debit cards. These have the added benefit of being accepted in stores, etc, whereas cryptocurrencies... not really?

I’ve lived through something like this in the past. What do you think happens to the country imposing the tariffs?

Would you pay 200% extra? I imagine the markup for “ethical” tech is more or less closer to that than to a slightly higher shipping cost (15% or so), based on prior hardware-related projects I’ve been involved with

Hey! Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier! You can archive the downloaded articles manually, directly on the Kindle - I'm adding support to auto-archive downloaded too. I used to use P2K and en2kindle as well - built this as I

Hi HNers, I recently wrote a small webapp to allow me reading my Pocket and Twitter timeline articles on my Kindle, during the daily commute. Got some good feedback from friends, so posting here, as I guess it might interest other readers.

It’s a Presto (prestodb.io) plugin - presto is a tool to do SQL queries over data sources (hadoop, nosql dbs, sql dbs, etc), including joining over them Presto itself has a JDBC driver, so you could run it + this plugin in a Java app/c

Would be funny to see, say, an enterprise software filled with gamedev patterns. Would you care to elaborate on any of it? What kind of patterns were specifically glaring/out of place?

There were entire groups of people using it for “dating”, uploading nude photos, etc (you could upload a single photo along with your pin). I also found at least one bestiality-oriented group, with “meetups”, so... there was that. :-|

Sorry, I meant hosting. In hindsight, the domain was actually my best asset (it’s a PR 4 domain), so I should’ve kept that :( )

Not sure if it qualifies, as I actually managed to make money for a few months, but: MyGuestmap (now long dead) - started it in 2007, put Google Ads and some donation button. It allowed people to create their own little maps and embed them
