How can people hold on onto their birth certificate? The infrastructure is already in place for that, so the problem is that they didn’t understand that that piece of paper was worth money. Handing over a monopoly bill will have the same

If you can, find a remote job and move to a more social location. It’s not for me, but I see lots people loving coworking and coliving around me. Reduce your work hours to 25/30 per week and work when/where you feel like it.

You can’t cloak email addresses that are part of the commit itself. If you can access the raw repo, you can access the raw email address. GitHub already offers an email cloaking mechanism but you have to set it up in your local git config i

Thankfully I don't have to deal with any of those so travel websites is what I look at the most.

Great! I can also disable "in-video info cards" which are the user-picked videos overlaid on the video, almost always covering the last few seconds of whatever I'm watching unless the video has a 10s ending card. Super annoyi

It’s not just designers. I’ve given up suggesting style improvements because the boss comes back with “no user complained about it yet” when my suggestion is to use less crappy color. Who is going to complain about a color? Smh

To be fair, enough glitter could definitely trigger a litigious person in the US.

The problem here is that they’re not even trying. How can they not know that such PR would never be merged? For this reason I don’t think public contributions are why they send the PRs

Yes but that’s on top of what GitHub is already sending, plus it must be multiplied by the number of comments left on top of that. It feels like 35 straight minutes of 100% usage isn’t great on any system. It presumably sent 61 million emai

It’s that a listing on TripAdvisor? It’s not.

You don’t get it. “Link building” is not 2007 stuff. You find 2022 articles with that. If you don’t believe it it’s not my problem.

AB is the worst. I don't know how long it's been going on, but on YouTube’s homepage it keeps alternating between "Hover to expand video and see Watch Later button" and the regular always-visible Watch Later button. htt

I don’t think it’s how it works because I see that crap daily in footers, especially in the travel industry. Open any hotel listing on TripAdvisor and count the “[something] in [location]” links in the footer.

It really depends on who you ask. The most "successful" companies don't whitehat their way there. Just open any modern social media website and tell me if they are respectful of the users — and you can see that part. SEO is

I get this sentiment. "SEO" is basically an euphemism for spamming at this point. It's no longer just "Let's repeat this keyword 3 times" but "let's add 120 footer links and spam 35 blog comment secti

I think people generally dislike them because they're often the odd thing in whatever dish (and because they're easily confused as chocolate chips), due to consistency and density. If you add raisins to a salad for example they&#x

I don’t think it’s very hard, I just think not enough people care enough about getting an equivalent result. Basically 80/20, but no one will pay for that 20 (yet)

Yeah but what’s the point? A single-user VPN means all traffic is already attributable to them. If the intent is just to access the Indian web, then sure. I’m sure there are plenty other non-privacy-aware VPNs that let you do that though.

Of course they’re not. It just might get more complicated for users but it’d be super easy for them to set up cloaking. uBlock could deal with that, ISP won’t. Either way that will never happen obviously; Why would an ISP “block ads”? They’

I think you're missing the point of Adminer even if it's part of the title. The tools you mentioned require Heroku or Docker, definitely not equivalent to "let me ftp this file up to this shared hosting" If I have SSH

There is really not much about SVG here. These are drawing techniques and little is specific to SVG. I was expecting something along the lines of using `stroke-dashoffset` to create loading bars. Almost everything here is just “think of som

I’m pretty sure you can still write some js and load it into the browser or node. The issue is that 10 small instructions become a hundred (thankfully) and so if you read the wrong article you will be lost. If this guy was told to use `requ

You don’t really have to get an outside’s perspective. I’m a literally JavaScript developer with a long career and I’m still incredibly annoyed by the state of JavaScript tooling. Fixing those errors on larger projects isn’t exactly a walk

I mean, rolling down the window offering candy to strangers is the literal textbook example of a 70s predator, so it’s extremely suspicious. Hand out candy while walking and it won’t be that bad.

FYI Ulanbataar occasionally tops some “worst air quality” lists. Probably not representative of the beauty of the inhabited Mongolian landscapes. https://www.iqair.com/blog/air-quality/ulaanbaatar-mongolia-...

Have you turned 35 recently? Jokes aside, the real joke is that HN’s font size for comments is 12px and the smallest text on this page is 9px. But dare you not complain about HN style, or else. Awful choices for a 100%-text website. I use H

The file itself is not the issue. It's just that Chrome uses it to introduce breaking changes. That is all. They could have dropped support for APIs at any time like they did before, but decided to group all of these changes together u

None. It’s just the GP is somehow complaining that just because they didn’t see them they’re not useful. I saw .call just a few hours ago because until recently it was the safe way to call hasOwnProperty[1]. 1: https://devel
