Neat trick but it shouldn't be the only one you have. Which is to say it isn't the best way to proceed.

I've been criticised because I was only at a job for 12 months. I've also been criticised for staying 3 years. Apparently I'm a terrible employee who left too early and stayed too …

Agreed. Employers don't necessarily deserve loyalty unless they earn it. They often fire people on a whim to rapidly lower costs for this quarter. Meanwhile someone has missed time…

Wasn't the compiled-from-source chromium also downloading binary blobs without telling the user? There was an advisory about chromium doing it awhile ago.

The irony is strong. I'm still not happy with how AMP operates. Seems like it will mess up the interwebs. Something on IPFS along with tighter usage of compression and markup compl…

I'm with this. I'd actually like a fork of chromium with no googley phone home features. Maybe put timeouts on cookies and bunch of other things.

Like diversity training only more sensitive.

The communist dictator part of your comment is probably the triggering element. A lot of SJWs can't handle anything critical. But this is getting off topic. And I'm sure we'd rathe…

Still better than your snark. But blockchain could probably work.

Surely some kind of linked list with fancy crypto smarts could make this whole process less sucky?

I wonder what the economic / race demographics of these cases are?

Let’s face it. The circuit board is covered in Blinky lights and runs 6502 code. What’s not to like?

I’ve been tracking time for years. I estimate how long the task should take, then add time taken as I proceed. Very useful for future estimation. Definitely helps for project manag…

I tend to think of these electronic “Purchase” transactions as a purchase of a temporary license. This mindset means the price should be significantly cheaper. You never really own…

HN doesn’t have much tolerance for humor.

“(1) If you statically link against an LGPL'd library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to mo…

The pizza in the article looks horrible. But random. I don’t see why the author states randomness is a hard problem then proceeds to show various ways of creating it via imagery. L…

QT seems interesting. For those like me who’ve never used QT: As long as you don’t statically link the QT libraries you don’t have to open source your entire commercial application…

Which part of what I wrote was incorrect?

Every master has a slave, otherwise they aren’t a master. Unix tools have concept of killing a process including child processes. Gendered connectors are also sexist. This insanity…

Not ridiculous. This is the kind of encounter that occurs with “yes means yes” laws which are being prepared/discussed/implemented. In the age of #metoo you basically need a contra…

Don’t you end up with licensing fees if you use QT in a commercial product? Seems like a downside to me.

It’s not THAT hard to make a cli C program portable between windows, Mac and Linux. I’ve done plenty of projects that support all three platforms and the amount of work wasn’t exce…

Isn’t that Java? Not everyone wants java on their server, I’d like something in c or rust. Good project for a few weekends work.

The idea is good but I still think you could just schedule use of various websites like any other meeting.
