And dynamic--anything dynamic--was completely insanely cool.

That's an awful lot of work to perform a double-spend. Whoopty doo.

Huh? Where did you get that?

Is this a precedent that Google or any company wants to have, though? Engineers with access to company-wide tools or extensions can put political or divisive content into them? Thi…

Google does do that. Lot of misinformation in this thread.

+1, untrue

Not true. There is no pressure to use a "corp phone" as your main device. It's not even hinted.

This person chose to have their free phone from the company as their personal phone too. This is completely optional at Google, a really nice perk, and it's made very clear that an…

I have no idea why this is on the front page of Hacker News but I'm not hating it. I moved from Omaha to the Denver/Boulder area two years ago and besides the Henry Doorly Zoo, I m…

I've been using it for a year or so and it's brilliant. I love that I can screen calls in a meeting without anyone knowing. Disclosure: I work for Google.

I haven't done heavy work in Rails in four years. I miss all the bells and whistles.

Nah, today's hotness is tomorrow's tech debt. Always.

Thanks!

I have the exact same alias for git status and I'm very familiar with that error message! A few more I live and die by: gf git fetch --all; git fetch --tags gh git log --oneline --…

Ha! Sometimes. But getting around in the editor is so easy with the Vim keys that the arrow keys seem archaic. But I still push the arrow keys from time to time, you know, to make …

Funny, I use Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code a lot. The first extensions I install are VsVim for Visual Studio and Vim in Code. After being productive in Vim, I can't go back …

I believe this hack (JSON Hijacking) was discovered by Jeremiah Grossman in 2005[1]. It's fascinating to read how he discovered it and how quickly Google responded. [1] - http://bl…

Haha, me too! I want to read an article on getting my zsh prompt to look like that.

This part was most interesting to me: "Incidentally, when you write a paper, you can expect most reviewers (and readers) to make only one pass over it." I understand reviewers are …
