We have the same thing. We’re all just old though.

I’m not sure it does. I am almost completely stress free in my entire life. I drink a fair bit of coffee and red bull (both without sugar) and never have any sleep, stress or anxiety problems. The important thing with stressors is to identi

Sounds like when I worked for a large defence contractor. Except they didn’t have the competence to pull it off as well. I got to the end of this Twitter thread and basically shrugged. If you don’t like corporate policy, leave, then make re

"It happens" is a bad defence.

In a court of law I am innocent until proven guilty. In technology circles I am guilty until proven innocent. That's the difference, the outcome of which is the technology provider can quite frankly fuck off.

65% of people who were asked with what question and what panel and what information provided? This whole idea is stupid. Another C program with and ability to run arbitrary code off the network written by idiots and nasty folk being given a

HN is basically glued to CloudFlare from a business perspective so do we expect anything else?

No I've got a paid static IP which I exclusively own on a business service line. There is no excuse for being a victim of an algorithm. And I never get this anywhere else!

After spending years with Rackspace, Host Europe and renting a cage I never want dedicated servers. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah when I land on your web site and I get: Request on Hold - Suspicous Activity Detected. I'm turned off instantly. I'm on a static IP on a respectable ISP in the UK and I'm not waiting in a queue for 57 seconds and

Actually you can install windows 11 if the network is not plugged in. I just did it yesterday.

They are a society manipulated heavily by propaganda, run by rich elites and pushed into an unproductive war by a political dictatorship supported by the elites. Perhaps everyone should have stopped doing business with the USA for the last

I disagree. I’ve hosted on AWS for ages. They don’t do this. We didn’t pay the bill for two months once because the owner of the card left. No problems. This was a small spender outfit. They could have thrown us on the street as we were a r

No they don’t require that. I honestly, and I know this will annoy people, shoot jpeg and it’s sharp out of the camera.

Yeah it can get quite bag. I'm right near the airport as well which doesn't help.

I'm in the middle of London in the UK so that's pollution haze.

Your last point is spot on.

I think it's more difficult than that. People are intimately aware when things are not what they seem. The brain is really good at being suspicious about stuff. If you take a photo and it comes out better than you can see yourself, the

I shot this at 1/500 iso 400 f6.3 at equiv 375mm: https://imgur.com/ppj8U2Z - no edit other than crop. I reckon I could have hand held it actually. The lens has pretty decent VR in it. Will wait until there's a fu

Yeah I can just about get a decent crop of the moon on my Nikon Z50 with the 250mm lens on it that looks reasonable, if it’s on a tripod. There’s no way this wasn’t going to be some other trickery going on. What is worrying is why would you

That's fair. The point is that they are diversified thus limiting the risk of an individual company or group doing something bloody stupid. 90% is in property though.

Ironically I opened this up hoping to see the first comment was "just don't use React" and was even more surprised that it is exactly that and also what I've been doing for a while. I also wrote a < 0.5Kb DOM abstract

Pretty good so far. I put it all into property and ETFs and beat any market investment I would have made. Not investing in a toxic and volatile shit show is a good investment strategy. My father threw a lot of money into Tesla and is brea

I’m fine with the tech layoffs and “Musk being right” movement. Mostly because it has generated a large shitlist of companies I will never work for, will never invest in and will never integrate with or recommend.

This happened to someone I bumped into on a Meetup group last year. She'd been hired by Google for a research project. She said she hadn't done anything useful for a year and was just there to put it on her CV and was suicidally b

Correct. But they are the minimum "fit for purpose" I have found i.e. don't disintegrate or soak up ink like the cheap supermarket ones.

That's an interesting perspective.
