I had really high hopes for this but IIRC at a certain point all you really wind up doing is juggling/optimizing elevators. Which, ironically, is similar to Skylines 1 where all you wind up doing is juggling/optimizing traffic..

How interesting. I think my biggest surprise from this is that Github actually looks for illegitimate stars. I wonder how that affects the repos with a huge amount of stars, like if they get culled often dropping the repos to a huge degree.

Has anyone stopped using old.reddit.com that uses it and LIKEs using new reddit? I don't know what it is but when I get popped over to new reddit it's absolutely jarring. It looks ridiculous on my 49" monitor because it&#x2

I'm staff and I don't consider Manager a vertical step at all. It's a horizontal. Completely different type of job and I really doubt they make much more if more at all money than me. I would never go manager.

Sometimes they come out with really cool updates, like when they first introduced the hyperscroll wheel. I'm still waiting for the vertical and maybe trackball (I forget if this has it or not) to have the hyperscroll wheel. Other years

I know a lot of people complain about double clicks or switches going bad but I don't think I've ever had a Logitech mouse die on me. I buy the latest MX, Vertical, and trackball almost every year unless it's super minor upda

Ignoring all of the great social/community features like having pages for trending repos/developers and things of that nature that I check frequently, the Github Actions marketplace is a game changer. CircleCI has Orbs but there a

As an Infra person reading k8s posts on hackernews has got to be one of the most frustrating and pointless things to read on here. You all just regurgitate the same thing every post. It's even the same people, over and over again. 30%

Do you seriously think those of us running Windows deal with reboots and BSODs constantly and that you didn't happen to buy bad ram or some other hardware problem?

What do you like about GHA over Gitlab CI? I much, much prefer Gitlab. I've used both at companies for 5+ years. GHA are getting much better and the GHA Marketplace is a game changer. Gitlab needs that bad. But I find I have to be much

Do audiobook narrators read the exact same book that the public reads, or are they annotated/sorted by characters/etc? More of a script? I've always wondered how they keep characters separate so well. Is it something as simpl

I tested out a bunch of other apps (Tidal, Quoboz.. maybe more) and Spotify had by far the best Carplay/Android Auto app. The others were incredibly limited that they basically felt like "well at least it exists."

I worked at a 4 letter .com startup and we paid $800k for the domain. We never made revenue anywhere near our domain and when the company eventually shuttered the most revenue we'd ever made was selling the domain again.

Very well deserved. I thought the Snoopy award was the top award but apparently not. My grandfather is in the NASA hall of fame for the Apollo mission and was awarded a Snoopy. He was also part of Challenger but that's another story.
