The gp comment mentioned once a month doing support to provide empathy for Support Engineers. If doing an activity once a month is so bad as to cause burn-out, perhaps us Support Engineers are the real suckers? I would argue a once a month

Jargon is jargon - to those who know it, it's easy to remember. To those who don't? It might as well be Konami Codes. Hard for us, who are familiar with this jargon? Not a chance, to your point. To the dad who opens IE, types Goog

I have two pet theories on why this subject comes up as much as it does on HN. 1. Windows Updates were a known quantity for years. Patch Tuesday and so on. Now there are various short-lived concepts like CB, CBB, LTSB, SAC, LTSC, Active Hou

You could go for a SAFE stack application with server-side rendering? Perhaps framework choice is less important than being willing to put in the time of having your web server be responsible for rendering content over asking the client to

A keyboard-based similar tool is Zhorn's Caffeine which puts a pot of coffee in your system tray and presses F24(?) every 15 seconds.

Pokemon set in Industrial Era England, eh? Better than it could have been. I just hope this one's mechanics lean closer to XD than, say, Moon.

I tend to agree with you in principle; this particular thread is (granted I'm reading top-to-bottom, not all the way through it yet) is somewhat restrained compared to the usual black-grey-black-grey-grey-grey-deleted-black-grey-grey-b

Windows does make a huge attempt to make stuff backwards compatible, however. I run a copy of Cardfile copied from Windows NT4 on Windows 10 just fine.

I tend to agree with your point as shown. Every inch given to 'worthy causes' like Delta.chat can come with the cost of unscrupulous types like scammers/spammers. I don't really expect Gmail to bend over backwards to acc

Also interested to hear this. I'll start with my admittedly limited perspective: I started with a Win 95 computer so I cannot claim to have loads of experience with with TUIs even though I love the idea of text-focused UIs that can be

Based on some quick ducking (as opposed to googling), you are correct, 100-200 does appear to be the daily SMTP relay limit. I wonder if Google would raise that to, say, 500-1000 if Delta.chat started having a sizeable user market share?

I see where you are coming from, but I disagree re: the practicality being limited by message sending limits. Sister comment says Gmail allows 500 messages to be sent per day. 500 messages/day sent in napkin math = ~20 messages/ho

Emails and SMS message seem to have similar 'delivery time ranges' to me. I send this message, and it will arrive somewhere between pseudo-instantly and take a minute. With my conversations, it is often a minute to get users to re

So due to HN cross-pollination, I'm now using Delta.Chat on my android which works a treat. Hopefully once COI has a client, I can try that one out as well; if its android client supports multiple email accounts per install (unlike Del

So I thought based on the URL that this would be an intro to GraphQL back end development. As it turns out, this is an overview of the concept of back end development in the abstract. Besides conflating C++ and C# and listing .NET as a sepa

So it looks like this was posted but had no comments at the time, but thank you for introducing me to that feature which I hadn't noticed before.

If this is a dupe or near-dupe, I'm happy to have a link to the thread where the discussion already happened, I'm just after reading the HN comments.

This is a great article. I'm of the opinion that if Firefox OS can be released on a <$50 smartphone with wimpy specs, that will be some short term barebones profits, but help the ecosystem long term in a big way. Cheap for new devel

Satire like this is nice to see. It does seem like 'modern' designs like Reddit are repeating the obnoxious user-hostile behavior that older companies were ignorant enough to think they could get away with in the web 1.0-early 2.0

What about Basecamp? That seems to do well for distributed teams, but I don't know if it can be effective if all you use it for is for daily updates. I've never used any of these async tools outside the Jiras and Gits of the world

I was hoping to have some comments on this but after a week, not much unfortunately. I wonder if this is also something the US will come up with in the coming decades. We seem to be around 20 years behind Japan in many respects.

Good old XMPP. If it wasn't so intimidating to setup from a layman's perspective, I'd probably run my own relay(?) at home and use it for direct communication with close family/friends.
