Hello Hacker News, I recently rebuilt my blog https://chris.lu to be static first, easy to maintain, and provide a great developer experience. While doing so, I also wrote a tutori…

good idea, thx, done

I like it, worked well for the few tests I did, however the main form needs some small UX improvements, I chose a start airport and destination airport but then the search button w…

you: "Twitter is a tool of the US national security state", me: "stops reading" you will not educate anyone or create a healthy discussion with anyone if you start your argumentati…

I had similar thoughts, you don't need a permit to buy a gun but your kids need one if they want to fly their small toy drone, well that makes totally sense :D

I liked the humor in this piece a lot, I would not have read it until the end if it wasn't for the funny bits

EDIT: interesting, I just found this tweet ( https://twitter.com/ballmatthew/status/1293903865557979136 ) that mentions other companies like McDonalds and Starbucks are also exempt…

Oh wow a lego story makes it to the frontpage of HN :) Not my fav lego set, but I guess some people really like it I'm more excited about the upcoming LEGO Ideas pirate creek set

We looked at both solutions, shorter days of lets say 6 hours or less days. For me personally fewer days is better, because I have a pretty long ride to work, so working a day less…

The startup I work for does this, I work 4 days a week, get paid 5. I love it, makes such a huge difference to have a 3 days weekend, lets you detach a lot more from work. I'm the …
