I support this kind of encouragement. Please, if you've built something that you or someone else has used, you're a programmer/developer. This field is so broad that I also feel like I don't know what I'm doing with

Our old apartment in Chicago, which was in a nice neighborhood had its rent prices drop by at least $500/month. It might be more now. When I look at real estate in general in Chicago, it's been dropping a little, not a ton, but it

I've used Stadia off and on for about a year now, both in a big city with fiber connection and out in the rural midwest with a decent cable connection. When it works well, it feels like magic. The latency is so small, you can't te

I don't think Snapchat/Whatsapp has any sort of scheduling features, just sending pics and video to groups of people. From what friends have said, FB groups features (scheduling, etc.) are what keep them on that platform, along wi

We try to prevent those as well, but we don't have half the country saying that seat belts don't work, or Narcan.

I'm running it in the country in the Midwest with 100mbs down on a mesh wifi and it's practically flawless. Not any noticeably different than when I lived in Chicago with a fiber connection. It's impressive and way better tha

Because of their behavior. A recent example is their actions around (not) allowing cloud gaming on their platform. xCloud and Stadia have been trying to get iOS apps setup and Apple keeps stopping the apps. Apple does not have their own clo

There still exist game platforms that provide offline downloadable game installs. GOG.com is one example. I know this is but one example but I think it's important people reward this behavior so companies know there is demand for this.

I’ve used Namecheap for many years without issue. My favorite feature is catch-all email forwarding for domains so you can use any number of email addresses for logins. E.g. website@yourdomain.com

If you're native american in the midwest, you will experience discrimination and your life will be harder than it needs to be. Similar to the difficulties that other POC experience. It's just the way it is, better than it used to

Don't joke about firing people. Don't joke about using a certain tech or infrastructure because it lets you hire cheaper people. Don't joke about people's housing or what car they own. Don't joke about how people do

I work with a scientific institution and it's still amazing to me that people don't check or ask if there are downloadable full datasets that anyone can have for free. They just jump right in to scraping websites. I don't kno

If hype wasn't effective, we wouldn't have marketing. Let's be honest, good marketing works. For example, there's plenty of cargo culting on HN which is all about hype and following the pack. We're humans. Hype, mar
