"quirky conservative views" Cue joke about being silenced: "oh, you know the ones".

I think the answer is kind of like this: no it's not really that bad in that nobody was physically harmed and the data was not leaked as far as we know. But it's entirely possible that moving it like that could have broken some d

It's hard to imagine how this kind of problem gets solved, but I think it's a good example of a problem that I've seen in software again and again: defining the technical capabilities of a platform is separate from defining t

Sample size: 2 We're at 100% here people. Seriously though, I come across people now and then who "don't like sunshine" and i feel like an explorer who's just encountered a strange new civilization; this attitude is

Yeah, TBH I feel like they should release a super-lightweight app that serves as a starting point for a search and then hands the results off to the local browser with whatever key set so that it knows who you are. This would significantly

This seems like a good way to burn out while making no money.

I don't know the answer to this but I'm interested in learning. I assume there are investors out there who aren't looking for hyper-growth, but I'm not sure where you find them.

Hm, I guess I wasn't specific enough - you're right that you could just be excited by the mission of the company and that seems healthy and cool. It's the borderline worship and the cheering (to be fair I think this might be

I don't know what is with companies who pretend that the work environment should be more than an exchange of skills for compensation. Even ignoring these kinds of egregious examples, I find the rah-rah-rah of companies where people ar

seems pretty likely he'll go for it then, that's the driving principle behind his decision making. (note: I do not subscribe to the conspiracy theory that this is actually what is happening)

the styling/layout of HN could be improved a lot with little effort IMO. the upvote/down vote buttons are so easy to make mistakes with too, and I don't think my thumbs are especially fat. I would also kill for dark mode.
