I honestly don't see how CloudFlare is a "pwned corporation" in this situation. Their security vendor got pwned. Nothing from CloudFlare was accessed other than security footage (from the vendor). You don't get to say

Social commentary: As I was scanning HN headlines, I thought this said "engaged" instead of "enraged" :) But my instinctual reaction was the exactly the same: "Hmm yeah I guess they really are manipulating us - tha

A friend said something the other day about NFTs that rings just about exactly right: Humans seem to be in this perpetual fight to artificially reestablish scarcity from the physical world in the digital world. DRM. Invite-only apps. And no

I think the calculated dynamics bit got to me as well - I’m almost certain (esp. from reading others’ experiences) that items that you need show up less frequently in the marketplace when you need them. So those nails that were so easy to

Slight non sequitur here but what you said about addictive qualities reminds me of a similar experience I had with a game a few years ago. I've never been hooked on nicotine or similar, but toward the end of 2017 a game (Simcity Buildi

Beat me on the submission again Greg! ;) This is a great outcome for the Scalyr team (disclosure: I'm one of the co-founders and was there from 2014-2017). The product is solid and has real tech behind it -- it really is an order of m

I'm sorry but this is just not true. I understand this is your perspective but "these people hate their jobs and only do it for money" is impossibly wrong. Sure, some people hate their jobs, but they're probably not

I predict we’re going to look back at ourselves in a few years and find a few things particularly egregious, much as we look back at “smoking is good for your health!” ads from the 1950s: 1. Our early guidance that masks don’t help (because

No I think perhaps you are misreading the announcement. Thiel, Luckey et al were backers of the pardon for Levandowski and involved in the process, not recipients of pardons themselves.

Could someone point me toward a good link or explainer on what this whole thing is about? I kinda feel like I've jumped into a soap opera with zero context. Who is Rebekah Jones and wha exactly did she do or not do with the State of

I finally sent out the first 3 issues of a weekly(ish) newsletter I've been mulling over in the back of my mind for the past few years. I'm calling it "The Weekend Nerdiary" and it's basically a best-of-the-intern

Oh amazing! I haven’t bought stuff on eBay in a while but I’ve absolutely used your service before. I remember using it A LOT back in the early 2000s - it was my secret eBay super power before others knew about it. Thanks again and so glad

Roughly the same approach. I ended up getting a Gigabyte Z490 Vision D motherboard specifically because it was the only one of the new Z490s that had an onboard Thunderbolt 3 controller AND a DP1.2 input (which negated the need for the tit

I almost certainly can't see the difference between 4k and 5k (although it depends on the screen resolution - if the 4k screen is using some weird multiplier then everything is blurry and crappy). But TFA is looking at 1440p screens, w

I'll chime in and say thank you as well! (Both for your work on this and for addressing it in this thread). Looking forward to seeing the improvements too.

I've used it for gaming and it's great! I have a separate dedicated gaming PC I just built, and I can just unplug from my Mac and plug right into the Thunderbolt 3 port on the gaming PC (which, in case anyone cares or is interest

The short answer is you basically don't find them :( But the LG UltraFine 5K is still alive and well. My original one (vintage 2017) died recently (bad mainboard) and I went out shelled out $1400 for a brand new one from the Apple Sto

After working on a 27" 5K monitor (first the Dell, now the LG UltraFine), I don't think I can ever go back to non-HiDPI for my desktop, so 1440p is just a non-starter for me. The only monitor out there that would be an "upgra

Based on everything I've sorta-kinda-summarized here, the #1 thing you guys could do is speed up Jira Cloud. My company uses it and tolerates it, but at this point it now takes 8-10s to load a single issue from the board view, and ~5s

These are really great! I imagine one could write a paragraph (or more) on each, and one could setup a whole process of following through with all of them. In fact, this is inspiring: I'm going to put these in a list and review them

Exactly. The people who were "harmed" by this were folks who tried to use Robinhood to do ultra-short-term (seconds-level) trading in an attempt to capture micro-swings, and Robinhood is a terrible platform to do that (and, hones

Gotta give @dhh credit - he is one of the world's great marketers/promoters. He's been building hype for this as the "next Rails" for months and the man knows how to pique an audience's interest.
