It's great if you can do that -- some people (I, for one) get such heavy nausea from reading in any kind of transport that the only thing I can do is listen to the music and look a…

OTH people who want to buy strat would prefer to buy "strat with all inherited problems already fixed", be it PRS silver sky, or any boutique brand like LSL / Sandberg / Suhr / Tom…

+100. I also dig fnox (encrypted-secrets-in-git) and hk (pre-hooks manager that is actually fast and stays out of the way) by the same author, pretty much default for any project I…

It's not like OP asked for any criticism to start with, right? This whole thread is pretty good example of why saying "Fools and children should never see half-finished work" exist…

I use Ctrl + to switch between different workspaces on Mac, and half of the time I come back to MS web pages or apps (like Teams) the font is either 9000+pt or then -3pt. Outlook t…

So 500 people leave for office and turn off the heating at their homes, even if there are other people (kids, elderly) or animals (cats, dogs, birds) living there?

I mean, I've seen enough "django specialists" to end up with queries doing a dozen of join bombs and producing 10 million rows from dataset of maybe 1000 items. So pretty safe to a…

I think they mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick

"Marshmallow test": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experimen... It was also highlighted (recently?) iirc that it has little to do with discipline and will-power…

Sorry to hear your situation, but that doesn't really sound like it's LLM's (a tool in the end) fault, more that poor ways of working are a norm in company you work at. Not much wo…

It’s trivial to alter or remove log lines without knowing or realizing that it affects some alerting or monitoring somewhere. That’s why there are dedicated monitoring and alerting…

I worked in a company, where webapp bundle was 8 megs (so close to 2 megs compressed). Upon brief investigation turned out that it was lottie library (~2 megs) + 4 animations, all …

Most of the shells have built-in recursive search, why not just use that? `Ctrl + R` in bash / fish / zsh at least.

Being on call is firemen job, and they do have shifts. In most of the companies you have something akin to construction workers that work from 9 to 5 and then also are expected to …

cc @j3s (I wonder if this even works here), here's your line breaks fix :) (assuming that since HN is mentioned in git repo [0] for the site, the author does read this occasionally…

Because it's not a text organised into sections, paragraphs and whatnot with html, it's just a plain text file rendered into one big paragraph with whitespace set to `pre` ¯\_(ツ)_/…

Chase Bliss did a whole guitar effects pedal based on that concept (Generation Loss): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pq7g_fZWw8 Funnily enough the same channel that made OP video…

Those who needed dual-monitor support probably didn't buy 13" MBPs/Airs to start with?

I use Neovim exclusively for the past 4 years or so. Before that I used WebStorm + sometimes Vim for another 6 years or so. To this day I'm thankful to my colleague and mentor, who…

I was about to comment "what, vim-plug had a release this year", but then noticed that article is from 2019.

I used to do that as well. The problem here is that PR belongs to a particular service provider (GitHub, GitLab and whatnot), and thus can be easily lost if you move providers. Or …

It surely loads faster than speed of light, but with all the keyboard navigation missing, it takes 20x more time to go through each email and archive/delete/reply to. Can't have ev…

Yea, why not just have "double-click" as "add this element to the end of input".

Oh yes, also that! My colleague was rather frustrated with apartment repair crew he had to deal with. Everything was handled via phone calls, none of the construction folk kept any…
