Speaking as a parent of 5. Parental mental health has a much bigger effect on the child than choice of methodologies. You really need to look after yourself before you can look after them - so if you are suffering from sleep deprivation,

I agree with you, but dang has pointed out several times that pg is fine with downvotes signifying disagreement[1]. So it's unlikely to change any time soon. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314

In Israel it's fairly standard. In fact, you're only allowed a third of the mortgage to _not_ be fixed.

I love how that site has a PWA manifest. Just in case you want to install it, for looking something up later.

I do wonder how much "social capital" comes along with a famous name when it gets used for something else. Anyone remember Napster? They were convinced launching it as a legal service would be a huge success just because of the na

11. Going down the rabbit hole spending three whole days getting your typings perfect for some weird use case, instead of writing actual code. Sometimes there's a benefit down the line to having done it, often not, and knowing the di

The UK records any "dies with" as "dies of" when it comes to COVID-19. This is one of the problems with the data.

This brought me so much joy. I love the effort that went in to an amazing UX, particularly the super-intelligent defaults (name from /etc/passwd, etc.) How many apps today put so much thought into using the resources available to

This is really, really terrible. But he should not have compared it to Anne Frank in the attic. In nuanced conversation, it should be possible to believe both of the preceding two sentences at the same time.

Sure. They do accounting and administration for alternative investment funds. Until I arrived, this was mostly managed through Excel files and emails, with a couple of vendor apps for the heavy lifting. They realized that tech could help th

I was absolutely delighted to discover that on EasyJet (European budget airline) the seats do not recline! Not reclining my own seat is a very small price to pay for not having the guy in front recline his. I couldn't believe more airl

I once did a migration of an auth system by having the new system attempt an auth against the old system if there was no password hash saved in the new one. If it succeeded, it hashed the password and saved it. Seamless for users. Obviously

The GDPR covers EU citizens wherever in the world they are. Is there a way for me to tell WhatsApp that I am an EU citizen not currently based in the EU?

Yes, you do. With the advantage of the rich object model. Best of both worlds.

In a way, yes, Telegram is even less secure than WhatsApp for this. The way I've been presenting it to people is that Telegram can look at more data than WhatsApp can. But WhatsApp will use the data they have more than Telegram wil

For this reason I chose to send them to Telegram instead of Signal. It's true that Signal's privacy is better. But if you trusted WhatsApp up until now, and you use Gmail, you are no worse off with Telegram. And it's far more
