Thanks for bringing this oversight to my attention and for your patience while it is fixed. I threw a couple of attributes on the site before I left for work an hour ago and will make sure the attribute meets the requirements once I get hom

I love PHP and MySQL. I'm self taught and I've been writing it since 2007. It has helped me solve real problems at every job I've had since which has helped me advance my career in tremendous ways. I know PHP is not perfect a

Sorry, but as I approach 40, 20-23 years ago does seem like a long time. It went by in the blink of an eye, though.

This was a pretty long time ago, like early-Millennium. It was my first job and I was 15. I saw people come in, use the bathroom, and leave, so I asked the executive what I was supposed to do. We were a corporate store and usually a test si

Shameless plug: I developed a site to help with this in my city Winnipeg called Winnipee. It went viral last summer and had a flurry of activity with community contributions (locations, updates). Winter came, traffic levelled off, and it di

This was exactly my experience yesterday— on a firstnamelastname.tld email address for the first time, sort of phishing looking but with legitimate-looking URLs. Even the email headers looked legit but there was something so weird feeling a

Personally, I like the small paragraphs of a couple sentences— that's how I was taught to format an article in journalism school. It's far easier to read and generally keeps the writing less flowery.

I drink a lot of whiskey sours with raw egg whites in them, like all day every Saturday. I like those odds!

I've noticed Facebook (.com, the new one built on React), works horribly in Firefox. I constantly report bugs and issues (with video and descriptive written copy) but some have persisted for months. There's one where the CSS break

It's funny because I find if I get my sites working properly in Firefox, they work everywhere.

I don't think you're going to find a one-size-fits-all model, but there's probably some higher marching orders, probably from the board. Then, the CEO's either have separate portfolios of what they oversee OR they have t

I completely agree. The current codebase, a rebuild on React called FB5, is very broken at the best of times. In fact, it's sometimes unusable on Firefox on an M1 MacBook Air. For one thing, the "report a bug" tool doesn&#x27

I think the most shocking thing about this outage was that the country's national payment system, Interac, was down most of the day. This is an interbank network which is essentially a cooperative operated by the country's major f

Personally for me, I think HN is as good as it's always been. Sure, there have been a few jerks reply to me here or there, but I wouldn't still be here over a decade later if it was as toxic as other corners of the internet.
