I have come across several but used none (not really a Node developer so no reason to try any). Are they all just not up to snuff or something?

Same. Wondering if it is a regional thing? Never in my life have I heard of or seen a Microsoft store.

Off topic, but I used to run a website that had Google Analytics. This site and domain are now 100% down and have been for over a year. I still get monthly emails from Google about the analytics for this website. Apparently it's gett

This is so pointless and I love every bit of it. Perfect Easter egg for the Chrome dinosaur game or something similar.

I have been happy with Gandi for a number of years. Namecheap is also good from what I hear. GoDaddy has done a number of lousy business practices in the past so while they do work well and do offer a lot, I cannot recommend them.

In a perfect world, it would be more hybrid (probably either 3 or 4 days at the office, the rest at home). But, given the choice to stay at home or go back? I am having trouble saying that I miss the office. I never worked remote before thi

I too would love statics for this. However, I use Linux at home and Windows at work, and I generally read HN from my work PC in the mornings. If others are like me then this data wouldn't really be accurate.

My desktop PC, same that I spend the rest of my day in front of. I connect to my works network through VMWare horizon View Client, and from a virtual desktop, I RDP into my work machine.

Look at the address bar. now click inside of it and notice how it gets bigger. I kinda hate it, but at the same time I barely notice it so whatever.

Motivation.My wife and one of our friends says the same thing. It is very difficult to stay focused and actually do work. It's difficult to care.

Same. I used to like it when their site header had a line about "No bullshit web hosting" but they removed that sometime in the last year or two.

People's views on politics (I am no exception) are often so deeply rooted in emotion that political topics often hit people more in the lizard brain and brings out the, um, "discouraged comments", than it encourages actual, p

I'm definitely not saying that guy is wrong about anything he is saying, but take it with a grain of salt. A lot of what he says in his interviews are based on 1+ year old info since he no longer works there and a lot of it sounds like

I saw a video on Youtube yesterday that dug into this ad campaign a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82N5SiOvStI&t=791s . I like the guy - he's a bit long-winded at times but I don't think he was incorrect

I watched his interview with Sean Carroll the other day and they touched on this. Joe said he vastly prefers face-to-face, and only really does OTA interviews when the person can't actually come to his studio.
