The service industry such as fast food has virtually no "paid sick days", and conveniently are jobs with lots of people interaction, poor pay, and poor if any health insurance. So you "might" have the cold or coronavirus

Not op but Google has been known to ban accounts, even well established ones, for either stupid reasons(like an expired payment method) or unknown reasons, and there's very little you can do about it - other then make a HN post and hop

Woah and it works from a mobile browser too! Albeit the ui is a bit clunky on mobile - but it's running!

I second this. Even if swarm isn't officially deprecated my time with had proven that swarm was abandoned for k8s around 2016/2018. Long standing issues have been around for years. Even trivial things like deploying only a single

I mean that is certainly possible, maybe unlikely (because of the amount you'd assume they'd have backups), but possible.

For those struggling because of the paywall you can try outline. It's a pretty decent site that can bypass a lot of paywalls and is actually usable compared to most news sites. Ad block doesn't work here as it only shows the first

> a DBA should not be a gatekeeper of what gets put into a database. Storing 200 bytes of extra data per row costs you absolutely nothing. To be fair, isn't it the DBA's job to gatekeep the database? The application programmers

My understanding is that exposing yellowed lenses to UV light will return help it un-yellow. That type of glass was mostly only used in older lenses - which with the right adapter they still work great on modern cameras!

Yes, HN does this when people who were impactful to the technology world have died to commemorate them.

I think what they mean is why don't browsers just include the most popular fonts, so the underlying OS doesn't matter? Instead we're restricted to only a few fonts that actually have decent cross platform support.

I face a lot of anxiety from this. I'll have a task like setting up Point in Time Recovery for postgres, and I've spent days mostly just reading documentation - How postgres manages wal logs, how the internals of several popular s

I feel like it depends - I know I don't just start digging through the commit history of every line I edit. If I'm trying to fix a bug, and only have to change one line for it to start working, and the tests still pass - but that

Yeah it's been around for a long time - although many of the earlier version were rather awful. There's different methods, and not all of them use neural networks. But there's software to do it with a decent camera that works

I'd say an "advertisement" is a form of a "paid message". For example I can pay Facebook to put "I LOVE PENGUINS" on everyone's screen - it's not technically an advertisement, just a statement or

Have you tried PETG? I know loves to adhere to glass (if rather aggressively) - maybe it'd work here too? It'd be cool if it does because PETG is a lot easier to print because of its rigidity (especially in bowden drives)

After trying to find something similar myself, originally I found some "methods" online to bypass the trial time, but I eventually just gave in and bought a license - and IMO it does exactly what it says on the tin, and is still u

It's really great for a lot of network testing. It let's you intercept and modify requests/responses directly which is great for testing front end /backend input sanitization.

It depends on the partner. For Backblaze specifically it is indeed free.

Our company is pretty small (We only have 5 developers) and judging by the lack of pricing info (you can only request a demo) - I'm guessing it's too expensive for us haha. But thanks for the suggestion!

I kinda want to setup a laser play toy for my cat, but have it "end" at a box that opens with a servo with some treats. That or maybe some steppers to move a stick around that has a string at the end (my cat's favorite). Hmm.

I always struggled with this. Give me a list of things to memorize and a rigid test - and I'll struggle. Put me in a real environment with access to documentation, actual team members, and time to learn and understand a system? That&#x

I fully agree that they need to address those problems. I really like the way Valve does it with their Steam Hardware Survey. What I'm addressing is that I feel many people see a company tracking data, and assume this data is valuable
