Why is it the 34th "first annual" ceremony? Is it humor or is there something deeper?

I had a Lyft driver who nodded off several times during a ride to the point we had him leave us at the nearest corner as soon as it was safe. It was genuinely scary. I messaged Lyf…

I was actually converted to tabs after hearing Richard Hendricks' argument against spaces in Silicon Valley, the TV show. Really didn't think I was going to be challenging my own p…

To your last point, that's basically what I did. I get a lot of satisfaction from being the technical consult for customers, working alongside Sales and CS, and still having that l…

Your 2nd point was what really sold me. I was apprehensive before my first ride but it deftly navigated around double parked cars in narrow side streets like I would have done myse…

Keep using Waymo and stream with a stranger on one of the Omegle clones when you ride. Problem solved.

Yep. My previous company almost exclusively hires in Latin and South America now. The interesting thing to me is that it hasn't affected the executives themselves yet. If employees…

That policy was actually one of the major reasons I liked that company and stuck with them for so long. Their goal early on was to avoid raising money if at all possible, and they …

I am convinced that the WFH movement is responsible for the recent offshoring trend. Before 2020, it was fairly uncommon to work remotely and most employees were expected to physic…

It happens. I was offered the option to liquidate up to 20% of my vested shares at my last company's Series A. It was restricted by tenure though (3 years), so it wasn't available …

I have Crohn 's disease and it's never occurred to me to fault my parents. It is a genetic disease, and I can only hope that the doctors you've worked with have helped you to under…

Not sure if it's what was meant, but an HOA board isn't too far off of that description. In my experience, the job is necessary but relatively thankless and uncompensated. No one w…

It's easy enough to reproduce - may as well run a quick experiment and record that.

Yeah, I'm very certain that I've read about this phenomenon in the not so recent past. To the point where I've intentionally listened for the difference on many occassions since th…

I've just started using Otta for my search and they publish responsiveness scores. Not sure if it's by role or across the company. It's saved me from wasting time on companies with…

I don't see any missing essentials on this keyboard (even pg up is there), but some of the even smaller form factors actually remove the arrow keys, and using fn for those gets irr…

Have you messed with animation settings in developer mode? It helped me a lot when a previous phone of mine was starting to show its age. https://www.reddit.com/r/S22Ultra/comments…

It was a pretty popular subject on HN as recently as a few years ago. I dont know very much Japanese, but I am familiar with that one due to the other articles that explore the cul…

Thanks for the comparison to Sublime. That's been my preferred editor for a decade, but massive files have always been a pain point.

Thanks for the detailed response! That's really encouraging to hear, and I think thats enough to push me over the edge. Had a close call recently and lost a disk as I was preparing…

Agreed on your points about cheap storage and compression artifacts. I've entertained setting up a tape drive local backup for my NAS (4x 14 TB) for a few years. Is it worthwhile f…

"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian Consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 auto-gyro?"

"Sue you". I can't help but appreciate a clever name
