But the end result always requires you to cut/reshape the darn Lego bricks themselves, because the modules never quite fit the use case perfectly, so consultants are brought in to hack it all into some sort of workable shape.

I use LXDE at the moment, primarily because it gets out of your way. I'm going to give regolith a try - it looks pretty cool (and by that, I mean functional). Thanks for sharing!

Ah great, thanks!

This looks nice! Do you mind me asking what you used to build your desktop client?

May I ask what industry you're in? For us the experience is the opposite!

The guy is the leader of the free world! He's making random screw ups every few days. He has single handedly turned himself into a joke. If you or me said the things he said, we'd be considered idiots by our peers. We need to exer

The implication was that the vast majority of criticism is methodically wrong. I don't think that's true. I'd say the vast majority is well-deserved based on silly/stupid actions or words. Regarding the critique, please

Fair enough - it's just an interesting, yet somewhat scary trend me and my friends have noticed.

What makes you feel he is not deserving of criticism? I am not from the US either, but the guy has made a mockery of himself. And it's not just media distorting the facts - a lot of the times, he makes himself look a fool in videos, wh

Had you mentioned the man that "runs" your country by name, I assure you, you would have been downvoted. Almost as if bots are monitoring this forum, and downvoting anything negative about their overlord. I dare you to try!

Yeah, I imagine this is okay for testing, since UUIDs are fairly impossible to guess, however, you probably want a slightly more elaborate "authenticated session" based structure to ensure someone malicious who has obtained the UU

Is the pantry GUID the only form of security for all objects? Can this be rotated should it be compromised?

Get a job as an IT contractor in banking? Most of them seem to be above 40 in my experience and the pay isn't terrible... Might have to wait till after the lockdown though.

Do you feel the simplification (or perhaps, dumbing down) of search queries is a bad thing?

Nice work! What sort of rate limits do you impose on the API?

Thank you! I did, but it didn't get much traction, since Show HNs can be a bit of a lottery! After a fairly slow start, we're doing quite well in the UK now (7 figure MRR after 3 years).

I'm not sure if it's simply that he has never faced the consequences of his words/actions, or if he's just incredibly stupid and irresponsible, but he doesn't appear to think before he speaks. Almost as if he's

I would say that I have seen no discernible pattern, so I have learnt that it is imprudent to judge a developer by their age. People do learn over time, but some people learn more "cogently" than others, i.e. some get more out of

I've seen older developers that call themselves senior, but lack basic knowledge. I've seen younger developers, wise well beyond their years. Age simply isn't a big factor in how you judge a developer.

My grandfather loved ghee, and I'm sure it contributed to his good health in old age. As a youngster, he could even drink a cup of ghee neat! For some reason, that same love has not been inherited by his son (my father) or his grandchi

I'm Indian, and I can confirm that I do not like the smell of ghee, and neither do my siblings. In fact, if food has too much ghee in it, it can make us want to throw up! We seem to have no problem with butter itself, but the smell of

Often disasters are also capitalised upon by politicians, who use the ongoing distraction to grab more power or take away certain liberties. They truly are master disaster profiteers.

Do you feel this is a good thing or a bad thing? I know that privatisation of Royal Mail here in the UK was terrible for the average user as prices went up significantly.

Not a US resident, but as an outsider, it does seem like the government is not doing all it can to save the postal service, especially given the corporate bailouts they're looking to hand out.
