In 2019, when Oracle renewed the "JavaScript" trademark with the USPTO, they were required to provide evidence of the trademark's "use in commerce." Oracle thought they'd just lazily screenshot the nodejs.org w

Oof, fair point. How many people would be able to refuse such an offer? Go live on an island and never have to work again, starting a new project if you get bored, or... keep working on Deno?

The company that took a screenshot of the nodejs website and used it as evidence for their claim of the trademark? The company that had absolutely nothing to do with nodejs? Ohh.

I'm reading The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot for the second time. It's full of gems.

Yes, I understood what you meant. My point about the book was that this is nothing new, and happens in every area of life. Although, I have seen some indiehackers like levelsio recommend their thousands of followers to just copy successful

I shared a book I was working on in a Facebook group I admin (with 10k members). It was just a book that I wanted to exist and read myself. I published it a week later. Then... little by little, similar books started appearing on Amazon. I

I've never heard of Socket before this thread. They could be taking advantage of this news and promoting the company, as it's mentioned quite a few times in this thread. Or it's just a good service that I should probably be u

Update: Got it working. Apparently Digital Ocean has some SMTP ports blocked by default. I must say, Ghost is incredible! It's built with one of my all-time favorite templating engines (handlebars) as well, so setting up custom themes

I just set Ghost up last night via the Digital Ocean droplet. The site is up, but I'm having difficulties during the sign up/subscribe process. Set up mailgun, edited the config file with credentials, but the problem persists. Hop

Yeah, I've come to that realization on my own. That's why I spoke in past tense.

I've been seeing people use LLMs to reply to people on Facebook. Like, they'll just be having a general discussion, and then reply as ChatGPT. I don't know if they think it makes them look smart; I think it has the complete o

Ah, that makes sense. I have no experience in AI, and wouldn't even consider applying to those jobs. Although it seems like most jobs are for AI these days. Maybe I should learn.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the role?

by whatamidoingyo 1y ago
Well, that's different. If it's a super challenging take-home, with requirements that exceed 1 page, then yeah, I'd agree. Most take-homes that I've received have been super simple, though. And they're usually not t

> That's the point at which I would have stopped the process personally. Why is that? I love take-home assignments. At least, if it's just an initial get-to-know-you interview, and then the assignment. What I utterly despise is

Agreed. I meant that the follow button is on each job application, by the way. It's too late to edit.

LinkedIn is the absolute worst. For one, there's a checkbox that is clicked by default to "Follow <company>", which essentially rewards a company for posting a job with thousands of followers (job applicants). I imagine

I was using Linux for 10+ years consistently before starting my current role, which is for a Windows-only business. And my god, the first few months was super annoying. ctrl+alt+t doesn't open a terminal?! click , click , click . No

40? Do you happen to be 18-25? I ask, rhetorically, because when I was that age, I thought 40 was old. Now, I'm 30, and 40 seems a bit younger than it did +10 years ago. I do agree that there should be a cut-off age, though.

I had the same problem with Stripe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44679406 It wasn't for adult/NSFW material, though. They still banned my account. So Stripe most certainly wouldn't save you even if it
