I don’t ride a motorcycle but want to try to make it safer for those who do. One trick I heard someone suggest & that I’ve been doing for a while is to use the pointing and calling method[0]: when I see someone on the road not in a car

I'd go as far as to say that those of us posting on HN on a Wednesday consider ourselves both clever and lazy - I do! - and so the joke is little more than puffery bait.

I run OpenBSD on most of my systems. The OpenBSD development team collaborates using cvs instead of git because it fits their workflow well. If I wanted to collaborate with them, I'd use cvs too – and if I wanted to move them to git

Their software, their workflow. "Bend to it or pick something else" seems entirely fine to me.

It wouldn't be a broken game in that it'd still function, but I can't imagine it'd be an enjoyable one to watch.

I'm a bit surprised at this sentiment. I have the "Neighbourhood Makita toolbox" today: Max across the street is into woodworking and lends his tools freely & happily rents you his time for the price of a beer or two.

I’m glad someone else had this read. I do not want to pass judgment on either side or the claims made, but simply note this feels awfully similar to the way I’ve seen people treated at big corporate jobs when rival senior leaders go to war.

Once again, not necessarily. A few states extend FCRA-like provisions for felony reporting. Most don’t. Even if your state does extend those protections, most have salary caps: if you are (for example) a felon in Washington applying for a

IMO this is one of your biggest hurdles to clear. About a decade ago I had a coworker whose access was suddenly pulled from all prod systems. The reason? Someone with his (quite common) name had a warrant issued in Oklahoma. We weren’t anyw

And that’s the tip of the iceberg. Tons of jobs in the US - especially those dealing directly with finances - pull your credit too, with the justification that people with bad credit are riskier and more likely to steal from the company.

No worries, I have also been convicted of sloppy speech! But yeah, for OP: this is why this is a hard question to answer without specifics. What jurisdiction are you in, what crime, how long ago, what job? These details matter. If you’re r

Not quite. In CA your potential employer can’t ask about criminal history before extending an offer. After the offer is extended that’s off the table: they absolutely can (and will!) run a background check, and any convictions are assesse

The interstate commerce clause has been stretched enough that even if ByteDance was based in Bozeman, and the Montana government still wanted to ban it for some reason, they might find legal obstacles.

Yeah, I’m doing that thing where I speak sloppily. HL7 is the standards organization, so talking about “HL7 messages” is like talking about “ISO messages”. It’s a misnomer. But as someone at the sharp end of the stick wrt integrations? If

Doesn’t Geekbench overwhelmingly measure raw CPU performance, whereas GP was talking about overall system performance? Isn’t this chalk and cheese?
