    I am a little confused because I got a 401 when I tried to pull an image from there. Do I need a login or something? For a free image it sure doesn't feel that way.

    I think there are crawlers that do that. Somehow I accidentally had a commit with an openai key in it, and when I published an open source repo with that commit within ~20 seconds …

    Every job I've had with Gusto has managed to screw up payroll at some point. The support from Gusto is very poor, even a supervisor that's offshore when you call em won't be able t…

    Honestly that's a great case for vibe coding, getting a splash page for a project that's not a website.

    What were you doing to get traffic from the open Internet to your webserver at home? I always felt that was a risky proposition, but I might just be stupid.

    I heard on npr, can't remember which radio show, that customers these days do a really poor job of punishing poor companies. They cited the statistic that the most pissed off custo…

    Dude you do not understand how bad those "APIs" are for booking flights. Customers of Travelport often have screen reading software that reads/writes to a green screen. There's als…

    There have been previous articles posted with people's direct experience with the hiring process at Canonical. I don't think this is a good candidate for a case study.

    What are the consequences of this? I think they can seize the domain for free if I'm misrepresenting the site as part of github, but lets assume I use no branding, etc what's the w…

    Ask HN: What should I do with the domain github.mx?

    How did you figure out that was available? Searching just for, "github" on domain searches didn't pop that up but you were correct. I scooped that up because I could :)

    I found fly.io to be very generous and pretty easy to get started with. There's also free tiers from AWS, GCS, or maybe even Vercel depending on your needs. So get free hosting, bu…
