I think live chat is brilliant when I need it. But I partially agree with the article. Don't shove it it my face, that gives me the sleazy salesman feeling. And I mean live chat. Me chatting with a bot is not a live chat.

Another trick is to have a 1GB file called DeleteMeWhenDiskIsFull. Then you can delete that file and ponder your life choices that led to that situation. Just remember to create it again :)

People think this is a temporary problem while and will only last while it's cool. It's not. It's signalling the end of internet chat/forums as we know them. Here's why. AI chat will become more and more accessible.

Not only you. I remember when Google was new. Amazing. You typed in your query and pretty much always found something relevant. Now the standard procedure is to open the first 10 results in a new tab and weed through them.

I have worked with a "10x" engineer. How do you think a team of ordinary (1x) engineers will function if you add a 10x engineer to it? I'm my case it was like putting a car driving 100 mph where the speed limit is 10 mph. A d

They're 15, according to the book "The Art of writing" by John Jenkins, from the year 1813 (yes, 1813) according to archive.org. Although In the book there's a text saying it's printed 1818. In the book he lists 15

Also, in case you're working in Typescript with a massive JSON and no types: https://quicktype.io/typescript It generates TS type file from a raw JSON file. Has totally saved my sanity at least once.

Not to criticize the guide, it's brilliant! If asked for improvements, I'd suggest adding a table of contents. Slightly off topic, but the guide does suggests reading time. It's interesting that people keep using read estimat

Personally if I've opted to hide it I wouldn't want to see it unless I've specifically asked for it.

Wow, this is nice. Love it! Perhaps an option to hide the ideal clicks. If I was upset and using this to calm down (which I totally will!) it would just infuriate my messed up brain. But that's just me. Well done!

I remember when I was getting into woodworking and found Wandel's channel. I had so many 'unusual' questions in my mind, and watching Wandel's videos answered about 90% of them. I'd also highly recommend Paul Seller

I'm sure there's an experiment involved somewhere in how this ended up on HN front page. Having seen how bots and spam taken over things with time, I think it'll be a struggle for HN to stay on topic. HN a few years ago was a

I agree with you that "this thing kicks ass." I think a good way to really upset people is to tell them that they're wrong. Which I also think is the major factor in the negative comments here. The game does rate your answers

I think this is a good game to train your eye for design optics. Whoever did this has a good eye for design, so I'm surprised by the assumptions he makes in what is right and wrong. Some of the answers depend on the overall design deci

The article skims over the fact that a lot of "fix later" problems will never have to be fixed. They might be horrible hacks, but then time will show that no other code will depend on it and it works. The mongodb example he takes

Isn't that a well known fact that you can generally change the meaning and/or subtext of everything by adding or subtracting a word?

Yet another reason to lock your screen when you stand up. The guy could have printed it from someone else's computer. It seems incredibly naive to print out a leak letter from work.

It's funny when you get paid to do what you like. It stops being a chore and you feel like it's almost cheating. You're paying me for this? Then of course, not all days are like that. Although John Conway allegedly said that
