With my privileged position in having the freedom to sit at home and work without interruptions, I can only try to be empathetic and imagine the hardships hundreds of millions of people will face. There is no compulsion that I know of, but

As an Indian, here's a more cautious perspective: 1. I am going with the assumption that community transmission might have started at some location; but with that assumption this 21-day lockdown becomes an imperative and excellent step

India has suspended all casual travel (based on type of visa) to India from all countries. One of the latest positive cases was an individual who traveled from USA. He might now have spread it to a cab driver, his family and now their circl

Thanks! I was curious for use in an agency, where the clients share credentials with the agency. Multiple clients to a single agency account may get cluttered. I will have to map out the use case specifically and see which plan works best.

I see BitWarden recommended quite a bit here. Does anyone know if it is possible to share passwords between 2 accounts when using the self-hosted version? Or is it limited to teams?

Not a fan of the concept of TDD as is, but I have adopted it as the approach to bug fixing. Usually I start with reproducing the bug in specs, with at least one or more specs failing due to the bug. Then I go on to fix the bug and see the s

I was in CA last year with the major wildfires going on. Not there this time, so am curious if this approach worked this year. If yes, I suppose that controlled, scheduled blackouts is a positive move (not a competent one given that this is

About 12-13 seconds on a top-of-the-line Mac. I'd say that is slow. Besides, I don't really have much of a problem with Google's CAPTCHA.

Yeah, that can perhaps be a visual improvement. As it is right now, it is anyways not a problem for folks like me who do not have enough HN karma to downvote any comment. :)

Wow. Matters always get heated up when J&K comes up. Folks, chill out. This is HN, not one of the toxic comment cesspools around the internet. IMO, the removal of article 370 was a good move because: - Article 370 was originally meant t

Why is critical info so often missing from important articles like this one? Where do I find out if my MacBook has been recalled? Is there a tool somewhere for me to check or is it based just on a combination of year and model?

I appreciate games like the Anno series in the core niche of city or empire-building. I went looking for city building game lists on YT and there are some promising games coming up, and there are some series with promising sequels. Age of E

No, I don’t think it is a good thing. It goes against my base nature/attitude but I noticed that I am not actively doing it. It has just become so. :( I am hoping that this is just a temporary effect of all the damage sustained over la

I believe I am an optimist. Last several months made me a realist. Toned down my habit of almost compulsorily seeing the good in people. I am less trusting of new people now. Made me more aware of my own characteristics that I had not given

Finally! Someone besides me here who would recommend Dashlane. For some reason, it is always missing from these threads on HN. Been a user for 3-4 years now, and would definitely recommend it.

Do a sleep study. Any number of hours can be insufficient if you have sleep apnea, as the body is not getting the rest it needs. I had the same problem. Using a CPAP since over 2 years now, and it has been life changing. The effect wasn&#x2

Hello, Peter. I am on H-1B and have had it for just over 3 years. I also have an I-140 for the green card application. If I leave my job and go back to my country for a few months, - can I start work again on the same H-1B (no need to go t

It will take a while for you to adjust. Fortunately, I think I adjusted pretty quickly. Still, I get what you mean by the tubes proving troublesome for sleeping. I need to have them properly set up so that I am not disturbed by it during th

I did read an article early this year where an individual died on a camping trip as he was not carrying his CPAP. So, yes, it does vary for each individual but sleep apnea can be deadly. Also, I cannot recommend enough anyone showing any sy
