Yes, this past week he was doing a lot of practice with a rope. This building isn't new to him. He's also climbed it in previous years I believe.

Really nice graphic design. If you build it out more, maybe you can teach users Morse code. Maybe a toggle button for decoding the dots and dashes.

With this discussion about perfumes, seems like an appropriate place to offer a PSA about phthalates. Perfumes often contain phthalates, which are endocrine disruptors. Exposure ca…

How common is this? How many founders that raise series A are liquidating? What are the amounts typically?

For starters, I don’t think America will hold Canadians hostage to be used as bargaining chips, like China did with the two Michaels.

This is a tech-savvy bunch in HN. I’d like to encourage my fellow hackernews users to counter this narrative that imo is being pushed by TikTok and the CCP, which is this one about…

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

With S3, the default is for the data to be replicated across Availability Zones. Each AWS region is comprised of at least three Availability Zones. Each AZ can be thought of as a d…

Is price a factor? Google Drive and iCloud are more expensive than using raw storage from a Cloud services provider, like AWS or GCP.

I’m guessing the original maintainer of xz handed responsibilities to Jia Tan without ever seeing him/her or at least sharing a phone call. Is that common to only communicate only …

I think taking that opportunity with your current company to do product work is a great way to make this career shift. In a software engineering role in the past, I had a chance to…

I would argue that a good interview process will certainly reject some candidates that would in fact end up performing very well at their job. To really understand if someone is go…

I have been quite happy with BitBucket. This is mostly from a UX perspective. The design is clean and simple. I’m using GitLab lately too, and my experience is the opposite. I can’…

The comparison is not quite equal. Because if I don’t pay for photopea, I can still use it for free with ads. So in effect it’s like a pay-what-you-want pricing model.

As someone who frequently does the full and mini NYT crosswords, I really like this idea. I’ve wondered what it’d be like trying to make my own. This seems like a useful tool for g…

Agree. I grew up in NJ and lived a few years in NYC. NYC has a lot of variation in what is called NY style pizza. A lot of it is bad. In NJ, the NY style pizza is a lot more consis…
