Regardless of if it is or is not excessive, I think it is fascinating that the things a man did entirely online while he assumed he was anonymous are enough that society deems two life sentences in prison. He did that much damage to society

This should have always been a feature of the Hue bulbs. Might have been able to justify the cost, but now they're just 4x the cost of competitors that don't need a hub.

I've found a lot of docker wins come from installing modules which have native bindings. I still hate running my dev server in docker, though.

That's not a new trend. It's a pretty common path to do a couple of years in big tech, and then use that credential as part of your pitch. "Ex-Google Engineer leaves to Airbnb for Cats"

Feature/UX changes should be behind feature flags, and launched independently of a release. Releasing often let's us identify and fix bugs quickly. I hear you that as users we appreciate more stable UI, but to get to an intuitive

I often see the intros of shows like Foundation and The Expanse and imagine all of the particles are there as a big F.U. to pirates trying to reencode their paid stream.

My first instinct would be to guess that something like this happened because of some intentional and well-meaning effort to upgrade some critical part of their infrastructure. Just my hunch given that it happened during the middle of the w

That's an expensive premium. How much is a crisp benj worth compared to a gently used one, laced with trace amounts of cocaine?

If you use a double edged razor, it may be necessary to also have a disposable because airlines won't let you carry on the flat blades. They have their place.

Noncustodial bitcoin wallets are still wallets. The function of a wallet is to keep your money secure and facilitate sending it to others. Having a bank be a proxy to this is both absurd and normal. Users should be aware and make a consciou

CSS frameworks are the worst. It's a lot of effort for a cookie-cutter look and feel, and I'd rather have something functional first. It is a badge of pride to have blue underlined hyperlinks that turn purple if you've been t

A good framework hides all of this, and gradually reveals how it works to the user/coder. I think Next.js does this very well, although I'll admit that their "getting started for total beginners" documentation spends way

I can empathize with your lament that it used to be easy to spin up a quick website. It sounds to me like your experience as a software developer blocks you from willfully making mistakes we've all learned the hard way. SSI still works

Haha, exactly! Ultimately harmless and it'll make for a good story that would one day be immortalized on HN. Good judgement call on their part!

If you're open to trying it out, I wrote an open-license alternative to TrueSkill: https://github.com/philihp/openskill.js , which has been ported to half a dozen languages. I'd love your feedback on it.

You fclose the handle when you're done, or you create some kind of synchronized semaphore, if you wanna be extra. The issue is really around having multiple handles for writing (not just reading or appending), and the number of times y

One contributor to Airbnb's success was making things like this accessible to international travelers. It's that whole "live like a local" vibe.

Our startup uses Linear and we would never even consider JIRA again. The UI is fully featured, fast and responsive, and it integrates effortlessly with Github.

Car mechanics have a backdoor around the security system of my car, and this is a problem. Rather than name drop Apple, perhaps we could dox the car manufacturers who have sold us superficial locks?

USB-C are more like adapters that let you plug in anything that isn't USB-C. There still does not exist a device for under 100 USD that will let you plug in the MBP's USB-C power, a USB-C (over thunderbolt 3) monitor, and also a U
