Reddit has really degraded their mobile web experience over the past year or so. I can’t view this link at all on mobile, it just has a dialog with options to open the app or return to the Reddit homepage.

If you have a credit card with capital one, they provide a browser extension for generating and managing virtual numbers which works like a charm. I’ve been happily using it for all online purchases for the past couple of years. No need to

Something that I don't see mentioned here, but which I believe drives a lot of the controversy around Node, is that it takes an extremely unopinionated approach to web development. That is, Node.js out of the box is really just a javas

I'm not an hnreplies user, but IMO this is exactly what an incident disclosure should look: - What happened - The extent of the damage - Why it happened - Why it is less likely to happen again in the future Software

What do you see as the hypocrisy of LeBron? He's a successful athlete, and also is a person concerned about racism and institutional failings in his country and in his community. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Plenty

Some real insights on China as well: "One of the main challenges that we had with China is that we are on the other side of the globe. You could hardly be more opposite on the clock." Shocker that a guy who had apparently never ev

Is it really that implausible that half the population isn't willing to think critically about a nuanced problem, or to accept evidence that contradicts their desired narrative? Statistics aren't always reliable, but somewhere aro

There was a very similar story (minus the Latvians) out of New Jersey a couple of months back, and it was COBOL. As as a sibling commenter noted, its always COBOL in these types of stories.

As a reasonably well-adjusted adult living in a city with plenty of interesting stuff to do, sure, there are a million better date options. Drinks, a museum, a walk in the park, almost anything beats a movie. But as a nervous 16-year old ki

Staying in Brooklyn, but without a commute. New York is still a nice place to live, and rent prices seem to have come down 10-20%. Let’s see how things are looking come winter though. Could be pretty grim without bars/restaurants to go

I lived and worked in China for nearly a decade, which I would say is first hand experience of this. But you don't need firsthand experience to understand that significant discrimination exists. China is 92% Han Chinese, and official s

China is literally putting ethnic minorities in concentration camps by the millions. It has some affirmative action laws on the books but they are 100% lip service and don’t result in anything meaningful.

Forgive the snark, but if you don't think using technology to make the world a better place is an appropriate topic for HN, you could consider getting your news from techcrunch.

No idea. We're on Meet at my company, and I'm very happy with it. Works well in the browser, connects to Google calendar without any fuss, and I haven't had any issues with dropped calls or low quality.

Based on your comment and some of the other ones on here, I looked this up and it looks like the original meaning of “working on a tech problem in a different way than what’s outlined in the manual” dates back to the 1950’s. https:/&#

Not really covid-related, but switched to Mint Mobile last fall and have been pretty happy with it. $20/month for 8GB I think (I’ve never run against the limit so I’m not sure off the top of my head). I’m in NYC and rarely leave the ci

The creator of something similar (but with Nickelback) posted on Reddit last week and went into a bit more detail, but essentially, he created a bunch of lyrics with a markov chain, then arranged them into the structure of a song. https:&#
