First come first served is capitalism in disguise. Someone will automate a tool that watches for these and jumps on them, and the person with the most resources, can get a close network connection, etc will "buy" it. Same with wai

To those who have used it: is it handy for situations where you have multiple repos that want to share a little code, but it's not worth the trouble of extracting a library, referencing it, publishing versioned releases, updating depen

I don't get it. How do you handle 10k people wanting, say, garden.com, without a free market?

As someone who spent over half a decade using MS SQL Server daily, I have to admit it's a very nice database, and better than Postgres for some use cases. This could be interesting! Postgres made the foundational design decision that e

Anyone notice how they linked to a "Hacker News Discussion" on their homepage? It's empty unfortunately, but hey, they tried! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42807210

Interesting point: """ A popular story that made the rounds a few months ago was “an LLM wrote a web browser in one week, completely autonomously! It’s buggy but it works.” I won’t deny that it’s an impressive demo, but in a

That would imply that all of the knowledge held with these models is an uninteresting waste of everyone's time. I don't believe that's true.

I could tell it was AI, but it was interesting nonetheless. FWIW, I don't think AI enablement is inherently bad; this can be a game changer for an individual with an interesting thought yet difficulty expressing themselves in written w

Maybe this is making a slightly different point (i.e. the usage of immutable physical features as "passwords", which I agree is largely useless), I think we're just entering a post-privacy era. Being around 40, I willingly fe

Wonder if you could run your password manager in an isolated sandbox that couldn’t provide the secret behind the TOTP, only the current value.

by schrodinger 4mo ago
That’s a good point. Maybe a good compromise is to use 1pw for most TOTP but keep your gmail / iCloud and a few others in an iPhone only app? Gmail is what scares me the most. It’s basically keys to the kingdom.

Idk if this is intentional or just part of an innocent site that’s unwittingly hosting these but I just got a “we’re verifying your browser” page, as if _I’m_ the suspicious one. Nice social engineering.

Is there any chance you made a typo in this comment? I'm not sure why your manager being long-term would result in less frequent one-on-ones...

I don't understand — I use AI to write email particularly _because_ I care about the recipient, and am confident the resulting email will more eloquently and accurately express my feelings. I'll also often edit it afterwards to en

Single inline backticks like `this` aren't recognized (although still useful in my opinion, they just don't change the rendering). Triple backticks also aren't recognized. However, if you indent by I believe 4 spaces, it form

As someone who's been a hiring manager for around 7 years, I agree with you, but note that the people who screen resumés before they even _get to you_ very well may be looking for those references. For my own resumé, I include the stac

Same. If it's something like "Refactored the apartment list service improving P99 Latency from 2s to 180ms", it definitely boosts the resumé in my mind. A good engineer would be measuring their impact and likely have numbers

It's easy to get caught up in your own hype when you're surrounded entirely by people who always tell you what you want to hear.

I’ve recently begun using my personal domain as my primary email address, with it forwarding to gmail so I can “get out” easily if I ever had a reason. That said, I’ve found Gmail’s service great, their spam filtering highly effective, (alt

I don't think that ads _have_ to be evil. When I look at Google, I see a company that is fully funded by ads, but provides me a number of highly useful services that haven't really degraded over 20 years. Yes, the number of search

FYI -- Because of this, Apple made a feature where if you click the power button 5 times, your phone goes into "needs the passcode to unlock" mode. Whenever I'm approaching a border crossing (e.g. in an airport), I'm sur

Writing the code has never been the hard part for the vast majority of businesses. It's become an order of magnitude cheaper, and that WILL have effects. Businesses that are selling crud apps will falter. But your hypothetical manager
