A conditional severance package is pretty standard stuff in a contract for white collar employees. I work at a startup, and if I'm terminated involuntarily, my company will pay me a few months' salary. But if I violate the non-dis

But the graph only shows YTD losses, right? If you make the 2021 graph 3 times larger to compensate for the roughly 1/3rd of the year we've seen so far[1], it looks like more than a fluke than just 2020 alone. Both 2020 and 2021 s

It's almost universally accepted that covid-19 is separate from, and significantly more destructive than seasonal influenza viruses. I don't think mainstream virologists and epidemiologists have changed their minds after the past

That's a model I'd be interested in working under. It's different for everyone, but I find onboarding most efficient in person, and long-term work most enjoyable fully remote.

What percentage does Roku take? I wasn't aware that they were in the same rent-seeking game as the other app stores. They do talk about their "Platform Revenue," but it seems that's mostly generated from ads.

It can be pretty hard to get, for example, visa sponsorship. A pariah company might be the only option which allows some people to meet their goals.

My current team follows a very traditional scrum model with a heavy emphasis on story pointing, but my previous one didn't like estimation as much, so we switched to more of a kanban flow while retaining some scrum rituals like a triwe

I've actually known people who, when required to change their password, would change it 5 times in a row, then back to the original password in order to keep using it.

Treadmills make exercise a more viable option when it’s raining outside, you don’t want to worry about getting mugged at 11PM, or just don’t want to get dressed to go out. People who exercise more are often healthier, and health has all sor

Hmm, it's an Electron app, so it could be cool to be able to click a button on a theme site which launches an instance of VS Code with an already-applied theme, similar to Theia[1]. Of course, I'm sure this would take longer than

While the digital nomad lifestyle is attractive, I'm always bemused by people on HN who are concerned about burnout, but also don't even seem to consider the non-coastal US. It's a less drastic option than leaving the country

These days the Kotlin DSL is treated as a first class citizen and you can find examples for most common tasks in either language. But Groovy is pretty easy to pick up too, you definitely don't need to know it before you start using it

I think the idea is that Google allegedly prioritizes pages by user dwell time, the idea being that if someone spends 10 minutes on your page, it's more relevant than another page where the user only spends 5 seconds before closing the

I don't think it's especially difficult to find a job as a developer within eight months, but you'd be giving up your current job as a fallback. You might not feel like you can walk away from an offer that's good, but no

What are your thoughts on the comment where they explained their reasoning?

Well, from my experience at Fortune 500s, they do encounter these problems, but they're supported by internal IT departments. As developers (I just assume everyone on HN is one by default), we aren't really the intended audience.

What if I don't know how to install the software to begin with? Or maybe there was a power outage and I "lost" the latest version of that important presentation I was working on, then closed out of the recovery window—how can

Personally, when I'm ready to submit a pull request, I usually do a soft reset to the point where I branched off from, then redo my commits and force push to the branch, for exactly that reason. I can't remember exactly which line

How far do you take that theory? People have allergies to many (normally) benign substances. Melons, natural latex, ibuprofen, pollen, etc.

I agree, but somehow a LoC became a well-established unit of measuring data transfer[1]. So maybe less-technical readers are used to hearing that comparison. 1 - https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2012/04/a-libra

It's still there, it's just white instead of grey. Which works fine with the header, but disappears as you scroll.

Do you have any thoughts on the financial impact of self-hosting vs using something like Google Ads? I'd assume you mostly made that choice for ethical reasons, right? I noticed that my ad blocker doesn't block your ads, and like

If you're on Linux, SSHFS is a decent option when you also need to transfer larger files. I like not dealing with latency while typing, so I'll usually edit locally and occasionally run the code on the remote server

But it's defined specifically in the second paragraph of the original article, so it makes sense to use the same terminology in discussion comments, right?

I'm assuming the app impersonated a real login with Facebook prompt. When I use a real Facebook login in another app, it tells me which permission I want to grant to another site, and lets me edit them. But I wouldn't think twice
