There is a real need for this. Just today I was dropping the kids off at school and was diverted because a garbage truck had caught fire and had to dump its payload in the middle of the playground. A flaming pile of hot garbage. The firefi

Boomer? No, my parents are though. I’ve just had success by getting a job at 21 as one of the lowest paid positions, worked hard, took on projects above my pay grade, and was eventually rewarded for it. I’ve been associated with the same c

You will need to get you foot in the door somewhere by applying at the entry level, then build your reputation by making an impact. Take on projects without being asked. Seek forgiveness not permission. Even if your role is not tech focu

This is a good point, but there is a larger problem anytime you are relying on SD cards for a R/W root partition. Especially when making a product out of one of these boards. It's so easy to follow a tutorial and start an idea f

I'm being honest here. Reading along I randomly picked 987 from my brain. I scrambled that to 897. Subtracting the smaller from the larger I got 90, per the instructions. So I am unable to tell you the remaining digits starting wit

I am an amateur e-biker. Luckily I live in a city with bikeshare so I don’t have to own one, I just rent it for my commute. 5 miles each way. It takes half the time as public transit used to. Before the bike share I would waste at least

I had to look it up to put it in perspective. 25mg pure psilocybin could be around 5g of dried p. cubensis if they are .5% (which varies considerably...) point being this is no microdose. These patients are really tripping! So they are sa

This is perfect! I have news.google.com blocked on my PC because I'm trying to block a bad habit of idly typing it in and getting sucked into the void. Came to HN and still found a way to get the news drip without as much distraction

You're not required to pay anything if your taxes are 'dead simple' you can fill out 1040EZ for free. And still can still compare turbo tax for free to see if you got the same numbers, and send it in for free. Nobody forces

I inherited some old Rails code and am updating sites recently. It turns out whoever wrote the code I'm working on was using blog-driven development. Getting a kick out of finding many old blog posts where the code originated from.

I agree its more for a devops person, not developers so much. Specifically Windows techs who maybe don't use Linux very often. I've steered a couple of the new IT guys towards it when they ask about how to automate something. It

One of the more memorable comments I’ve seen is “this is a terrible hack that should be fixed as soon as someone is willing to pay for it.” It’s been live for over 10 years. Reminder that in the greater scheme of things, it’s all about mo

It certainly is impossible to stop drug use with force. Telling Americans not to do something they want to do has never worked. Not in the British colonies, and even today with wearing masks during a pandemic: there are some people willin

A lot of charts with no context, but my main takeaways are that the US is not in record debt, in fact it was well over 100% GDP in WWII and under that now. Based on the news you'd think US is over spending by records numbers. The num

Nice too peek behind the curtain and see some of the effort and thought going into the ‘cold emails’. As a recipient of several thousand in my work email over the years, as an IT contact, I often wonder who’s writing them, and if I was on

Wix has a responsive layout from what I've seen as a casual maintainer of a rather large Wix site, which was originally built by a non-coder. Maybe it was part of the template he used, but a row of 3 images on Desktop automatically bec

The political machine is more sophisticated than using a public image. If anything it looks like an iCloud hack. Last week was a top HN article about finding an XSS vulnerability in iCloud. Not unreasonable to assume Biden’s crackhead so

It’s not always better. One good case for cloud-linked would be when someone breaks in and steals the DVR. It also doesn’t need to constantly upload, because most have motion detection to only upload interesting events to the cloud.

I'm STILL learning HTML and CSS after 20 years. Constantly surprised by new uses or semantics, or rediscovering a little known attribute or selector. One that comes to mind is background-image is an animated GIF with background-size:

I think of a site like Wix that enable anyone to build a website in minutes in a point-and-click interface. Very heavy javascript. A basic template makes it super easy for the 'developer' and the result is huge mess. The landin
