I think this article portrays a lack of understanding of conversational dynamics based on my experience with people. Interruption isn't black and white and to me there is nothing nice about people who interrupt by default. Still I usua

Imagine if this was an intentional publicity stunt. Atlassian would have thought they'd get a free press but instead they're rightly getting ripped apart with sarcastic references to their own product.

Google helps you find someone's content. Copilot helps you rip off someone's content.

Also on this topic, please stop letting css/viewport dictating weather I see a menu on the left or not. I'd like to resize my browser window and put it at the side of my screen to use as a reference. Then I usually have to fight w

I don't think it's appropriate to ask personal questions on HN. But since we're going personal I'd like to note that "RTFA" is not a professional language. The paragraph you mention states the issue, but it&#x2

>notification offering a paid service I think a "notification offering a paid service" could be pretty good definition of an ad, certainly no "pushing the definition" in that.

It's quite an achievement to create such a toxic fork that it's announcement gets flagged on HN.

If you need a metric on the frequency of stack traces, you have a way more serious problem than structuring your logs.

In addition to others here posting relevant documentation, let me point out one more thing. Those two words "hard reset" standing together (even on their own) should bring up a mental image of alarm bells and red flashing lights.

Typescript itself is fine. But yes, if you are using 3rd party libraries and frameworks with typescript, you might wonder if it's too late to change career and become a monk.

Light hearted statements on HN is like walking through a minefield. I learned the same way as you. I can sympathize.

One could say similar things (albeit stronger) about your comment. Nowhere does it say it's outstanding. It's definitely intriguing to watch, according to me and the HN people who voted it to the front page. Why do you title him H

I think the company and/or team is broken. I see two reasons for hiring: 1. To join a broken team and getting stuff done by constant grit. In which case I don't want to work there. 2. Company actually wants to fix the team and hir

Python is an amazing language. It's basics are very easy to learn and I'd like to think it doesn't feel like a incomprehensible sorcery to the beginner. But even for that, it's not a toy language as clearly evident by th

PCI standard requires them to report the incident. I think most card issuers would close the affected cards (my bank had done that a few times, rather annoyingly without telling!)

I really don't agree with this. What we have here is an enthusiastic hacker wanting to go down the rabbit hole of writing a hardware driver. That's no easy task (like you point out), and answers like this are not helpful at all. T

Small rant, although on topic. I once had to ditch a perfectly functioning scanner (HP), due to out-of-date drivers and no linux support. I now do my best to always buy hardware that I know is well supported on Linux. For example, some Cano

Refactoring while bug fixing can be good. But depending on your metrics, it might be underappreciated and seen as time wasting. The guy the goes around blasting bugs like there's no tomorrow looks good to the boss. When he leaves some

You can't fix a broken CI in a broken company, product, & team. But I get what you're saying.

The fundamental problem with slow CI is developer's own context switch. If CI notifies me an hour later that my changes fail CI, I have might have to abandon my flow, sort out the failure and commit/push again. Then get back into

It depends on what is "problem solving". Philosophically everything is problem solving. Here's a contrived example. Let's say you became a house builder because you liked building houses from scratch. In a few years you

I walked away from a start-up and potentially a lot of money, largely due to lack of transparency. I think the worst thing that can happen is that your employees stop trusting you. They're still on the payroll but they're there on

I guess the specifics are the letters N, D and A and what they stand for. And the fact that there's absolutely nothing in it for them. Would you even consider signing an NDA if I sent you one? I surely hope not.

It's interesting that they don't want to sign an NDA when there's absolutely nothing in it for them. Utterly astonishing. I'm hopping mad.
