I know that the holidays can be a rough time for some people, so I want to send out some love to those who are struggling right now. Hang in there for all of us

Having a paywall on an obituary seems quite distasteful.

It was not discontinued because people were making annoying websites with it, it was discontinued because it was a nightmare for security.

Nauru isn't anywhere close to that. According to a close friend who visited, it's not really that bad of a place. I think that there has been a lot of political play around it to drum it up as worse than it is.

When you say you are going to fix UX issues, do you mean you're going to address concerns, or do you mean you're really doing an overhaul. I personally use IINA, because of its closeness to QuickTime UI, but I would imagine cuttin

I wonder if that is instead due to successful companies being unable to properly vet applicants when there is pressure to find applicants for fast-growing businesses.

Tangentially, blog posts peppered with Tumblr-style gifs is the worst thing when trying to read the content. Thankfully it seems to be a trend that is dying off, but I don't understand how people read text without being distracted by t

About to start in 2 weeks! This was the first job I contacted through HN, and they were very responsive. No recruiter, no spam.

It seems very well written. I enjoyed the irony of this line: > NOVEMBER 10, 1986 > Called Kyle Freeman in L.A. (he’s at Electronic Arts now) and asked him what he’d charge to license his Apple music subroutine.

I love my airpods, but this is the reason I also went and bought some noise-cancelling over ear headphones. I'd always have to compromise between hearing what I was playing vs potentially getting hearing damage on my commute.

> It’s more fun that way. Look at this website: if you read any previous blog post, you’ll notice that they have a different stylesheet. You know what? This is _great_. I think the idea of each page having it's own self-contained sn

Same here. What shocked me was how willingly companies would provide secondary ways to access your account. I feel like if I was trying to gain access to an account I didn't own and was blocked by 2FA, I would just say that I had lost

This is why I'm not going to apply for Google any time soon. Their entire hiring process seems to revolve around how much CS trivia you memorised at school.

I can't believe how many people are attacking the author here. He has had to deal with things that nobody should have to, and the couple he uninvited are clearly unhinged and he made a good decision uninviting them. My sympathies go ou

It's the same as those who believe that if you ask the person selling you weed if they are police, they are under obligation by law to tell you so. They are not.

Has it been debunked? As far as my reading has shown me in the past and now, it seems to be fairly accurate, with some criticisms levelled at its conclusion that veganism is the right solution. https://www.quora.com/How-accu

Trying to hide the blog post from being search indexed really speaks to the culture there. They seem like they would much prefer this issue to go away instead of actually dealing with it, or supporting the victims.

I don't think they should get a pass just because "other people are doing worse things".

Even then, notification permission should not be requested without some sort of prior input from the user. A simple red bell icon with the hover text "enable notifications" would work so much better than the user being assaulted w

I despise the attitude of this reporter. Showing up unannounced in this place without doing research, and not having enough supplies to survive. It seems arrogant that the community you impose yourself upon will take you in and support your

I am sometimes sceptical of this because people experiment with these drugs usually around the same time that latent schizophrenia develops (early-mid 20s in males). I'm sure that they can do damage, and especially create a tipping poi

Yep. Chrome chugs on super long minified JS lines, but is fine after pretty printing. Meanwhile Firefox will crash on those minified lines, and even when they are non-minified, the size of the files causes FF devtools to run so slowly they

I haven't thought about it in his case, but it is very plausible. I remember seeing it in Kanye when he was acting out before he talked about his bipolar.

From what I have researched about conservation, it seems that our oceans are simultaneously the most important and most overlooked parts of our environment. The oceans house 80% of the world's biomass, and produce between 50% - 85% of
