    What even kind of response is this? The high profile ambassador invited the journalists to his event officially, presumably to BE JOURNALISTS.

    I had a chuckle at the domain name, mikeoss.com

    It's funny you said "shower-thinking" because showers are one of the few places where it's not practical to use a device and you really are alone with your thoughts. A normal day t…

    Yeah we moved on from SVN to git because SVN branches were truly a pain in the ass to work with. I truly do not have any rough edges or big pains in my day to day git workflow.

    I'll field this one as someone who has used regular ol' Vim for ~18 years and never switched. Why switch if your tool is working fine? I use vim literally every day all day long an…

    Because when it's true, you also learn about any prior match ups involving those two people.

    It's always fun to open the front page of HN and see a familiar face. I went to college with this guy! Congrats on shipping Mahmoud!

    Be careful, they add SLS to several versions of their products in the US.

    I found out the hard way that my mouth really doesn't like having SLS in it because I bought the wrong version of Sensodyne once. The "Pronamel" version is the only one I'm sure do…

    Ugh this just makes me wonder how long it will be before we start seeing responses to AI chat like "please watch this 30s ad / drink a verification can to get your answer". I have …

    Seems like a comment comes up about XUL every few years and I can't help but be sniped by it. A xulrunner app was my first job out of college in '08, good memories, fun dev environ…

    Underrated joke, did not expect a Title Fight reference when I opened this thread!

    I don't think this is their first live event. They have hosted a pro golf promotional match and they had a live pro tennis match between Nadal and Alcaraz off the top of my head.

    Louder for the people in the back. I've had this notion for quite a long time that "tech debt" is just another way to say "this code does things in ways I don't like". This is so w…

    My daughter will be bummed about this news, though I'm glad at least a few are surviving. I don't get why they'd make this content and then just kill it. Is this like "we don't wan…
