Context: I stopped drinking alcohol and coffee 5 months ago. Even though tea also contains caffeine, you can drink quite a bit of it and not get the same effects as you get with coffee – increased anxiety, jittery hands, overwhelming feelin

Regulating infinite scrolling seems like a major overregulation. Even if it kinda makes sense in terms of FB, Twitter, and other social media newsfeeds, it's still a great (and beneficial) UX in many other cases. Overusing social media

I wish the Wikipedia article had more information about the drawbacks of such a solution. The main ones I can think of are cost of design, limited sunlight, and that it's only a viable option in temperate climates, but I'm sure th

I've been at Close for the last 6.5 years and it's been the most fulfilling job I've ever had. 1. The engineering/product problems are challenging and fun. 2. The leadership (and the entire team really) is very supporti

I'm curious if the HN crowd knows how one maintains such extensions sustainably... Just by glancing at it, I'd imagine that it's tightly coupled with the markup and styling of Gmail. If Gmail changes anything about its layout

The results themselves are powered by Yelp (and have been before the map switch). The only difference is that now their location is displayed on Apple Maps, not Mapbox.

Yep, definitely agree. Increasing the bus factor is always a good idea.

This is a good point. If you're a go-to expert in some category at your workplace, your availability and responsiveness might be too valuable to give up.

To build on top of that, I'd want to see how much of that truly free time is in a "high energy state". What I mean by that is a free time where you're awake/energetic enough to do something meaningful – read a chall

I'm very grateful that I came across this article. For a long time now I've been struggling with balancing work and life. I've recently started playing with the idea of exchanging a pay cut for a 4-day work week (I haven&#x27

Can you elaborate on what your application does, what’s a basic flow of a request, and finally, what are the high-level steps you take to ship a new feature or API endpoint?

“Turn Touch is a perfect match with Philips Hue lights” - I must be missing something in this prominently highlighted scenario. Instead of walking over to the lamp and turning it on, you have to find the remote and press its button to turn

To an uneducated eye (like mine), Venice looks inadaptable and bound to struggle, and eventually fail. Buildings require constant repair due to erosion. Too much water brings flooding, too little exposes mud and filth, and hinders transport

Thank you for the clarification. That means my phone's performance after the iOS 11 upgrade dropped due to something other than the battery-related throttling. Not sure if that's good news or not...

> I hate that the terminal and the browser are two different applications. I'm curious, why would you want that? What is the benefit of having these two applications with separate concerns becoming one?

Before iOS 11 my 3 year old iPhone 6 behaved perfectly fine. After the upgrade it's so painfully slow it's basically unusable. For example, the Messages app maintains a lag of a few characters when typing, the Camera app freezes f

This reads less like “Internet protocols are changing” and more like “Google is changing the Internet to their own benefit”.

I'm afraid that's too strong of a generalization. I'm a European and I use my credit card daily (and getting a great value out of the benefits it provides).

Seems like an interesting strategy: 1. Launch a new pickup feature. 2. Buy its main and arguably well established competitor. 3. Migrate their users and restautants to your service. 4. Let the actual employees go (probably with a nice sever

Have you tried it? If not, start it up and then tail -f a log of some sort or even use vim for a while. The experience is much better than in an OS X terminal or iTerm 2.

For anybody who agrees that they need scrollback to start using Alacritty seriously, the best way to show it is to give thumbs up on https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/124 .

That's a lot of extra bytes you have to send over the wire. Also, I don't think validation makes sense. When sent by the server, it's too limited (would lead to situations where you're doing half the validation in TJSON

I had the same thought. It seems inconsistent/confusing that everything else has its type defined by the tag prefix, except for floats. Why not `{ "s:float": "f:42.0" }`?

I think the point here is that, even if you give away your password, the attacker won't be able to access your account, because you're protected by 2FA. If 2FA was supposed to protect your password from being phished, then it woul

Very nice read. I particularly love this sentence: > In the tech industry we’re constantly repudiated that growth is the prime value of business. ESL here, so bear with me. Is this the right use of "repudiated"? The definition
