So sorry to hear this. Makes my blood boil… can’t stand fraudsters. Can’t stand how they’re basically able to do this because some bureaucracy going on behind the scenes. I see so many horror stories about contractors pulling stuff like t

Regulations aren’t some magic want that don’t come with side effects, though. IMO, they tend to not address the root problems and only add layers of abstraction. One of the best examples of this is how Sweden irrevocably killed their finan

Wow… AirTags on your luggage? What an incredible idea, lol. Really though… can someone who knows what they’re talking about (or a pilot?) tell us if the transmitting excuse is a cover or BS?

Lol, its always fun when people get this idea. On a more serious note, it drives me crazy when people move and immediately start trying to change things (most often, things that made the place unique). A good example is in east Austin peopl

I have no opinion on Gladwell, as I haven’t read any of his books, but I swear those 3 things seem to be covered in almost every “self-help” book I’ve read. I don’t want to blame the authors either… but it seems like everyone is getting th

That’s fascinating… do they work long term? With only certain games?

True. I can agree with this. I guess I say fine in the sense that its more forgivable for a 12 year old to cheat. I would never suggest a 12 year old shouldn't be punished if caught in the act... or even retroactively.

By that I mean a more intense war with a higher risk of going nuclear, over Crimea specifically. I'm not a fan of giving in to the demand of bullies either... but what bullies have the ability to trigger the end of the world as we know

Well, maybe not directly, if given the proposition... but through agency, many do. I mean, someone has to be working the remote jobs to have such popularity.

If this is true, I think its perfectly reasonable for the world to speculate if Crimea is worth starting a nuclear war over. (and again, this can be done 100% without supporting anything Russia/Putin)

Well... isn't everything a give or take? Seems they just have a "system" or "human" problem because tons of spam accounts get reported but it seems to take a long time to get them removed.

Honestly. It honestly seems to me people want to tear down the man who noticed the elephant in the room. I'm 100% "pro-Ukraine", what Putin is doing is ridiculous and there's literally no justification. I have been abso

I'm not a hater of fellow SDEs but at the end of the day, what did people even do at twitter? Seemed like they spin wheels only to push out and then kill half-baked features. Ofc, this could be "anyone's" fault but all t

I think the easiest answer to this is "does it hurt to learn it, though?" Many things you learn aren't directly applicable to everyday life... but learning how to think and _learn_ is priceless. I also assume there's mor

Neither am I... I honestly have no idea what the kids punishment should be. Not irredeemable by any means... that seems cruel for the sake of being cruel... but its also not fair to have people compete with a known cheater (and potentially

So one could take on average ~5 min per move. On any moves they want help with, they could wait out the 5 min and have an accomplice send the signal? Honestly, it does seem next to impossible to stop a dedicated cheater if any feedback mak

I mean, how is that any different than what we have now? I guess the ability to feign ignorance that a certain work is trademarked? I mean, what happens if you have a program that draws random shapes and 3 circles line up in a way that loo

Digital Ocean + Dokku = Heroku ;) Or... at least as close as you can get. I actually preferred it before the heroku thing.

by robswc 4y ago
as an avid fan of dokku, def interested! are you able to drop a link to the repo (if it exists yet)?

That's a question I was going to ask. Sure, not _every_ move is 5 min, but wouldn't a 5 min delay almost ensure any cheater would play mostly more than 5 min, each turn? (besides some simple moves, ofc) Or is it that they only n

12 is fine... 16 is iffy... it was only 3 years ago. I'm personally a bit frustrated with the ever changing standards for adolescents. They are as responsible or naive as people want them to be for whatever their bias calls for. (not

I actually really like this small “obvious” tips because they’re so simple but so powerful. I think I’ll have to try this, thanks for sharing!

I was happier when the internet was simpler… and I don’t think that’s rose tinted glasses either. Back when there wasn’t just 3-4 social networks and every community was pretty unique. Forums provided a framework for better discussions. It

There’s just no way his video wasn’t a factor in the creation of the skit. It’s way too similar, way too soon. It really sucks. Would it be too hard to ask him to feature or just give a blessing? Makes them look sleazy…

How is "retaliating against criticism" contradictory to free speech? I could certainly argue with someone on HN but also say their banning is unjust (if I felt that it was). This has been a "solved" issue for centuries.

It's also easy to say in hindsight too. Were there plenty of times/chances to see the writing on the wall? Sure... but I really do think when you're in that deep, the money isn't really a factor, its the "life.&quo

I imagine that would exponentially increase potential punishments, since "real" money is involved there. I agree though, that would be more interesting, haha.
